    I know this is a joke but there are several reasons for all the whackadoo stories originating from Florida; besides
    1)*being the third most populated state*
    2) *being almost dead last in mental health care*
    3) *being a home to many unscrupulous rehabs who participate in human trafficking (seriously), along with doctors who hand out opiates like Pez,*
    4) our *open-records laws, AKA the Government in the Sunshine Act, means our batshittery is easy to find and exploit by national media/press.*
    (Since 1909, Florida has had a proud tradition that all government business is public business and therefore should be available to the public. That means all records, including photos and videos, produced by a public agency are easily accessible with a few narrow and obvious exceptions. Public officials are also required to open all of their meetings - even unofficial ones - to the public.)
    But that's not all! Here are a few other reasons Florida seems like a non-stop shitshow:
    *Our weather:* The Sunshine State’s subtropical climate has attracted everyone from voodoo priests to circus freaks to retired CIA agents looking for a warm place to chill out. With no snow to keep them cooped up indoors, Floridians are out creating mischief all year long. In the heat, tempers flare quickly and fights erupt over everything from cups of soup (jail riot) to missing shrimp (samurai sword attack and knife throwing). Our judgment is clouded by the humidity and we tend to reach for any weapon handy-machetes, lawn gnomes, even a 3-foot alligator. There is also a huge amount of cultures mingling about, all with different ideas about manners and behaviors
    *Our geography:* Florida has long been the end of the line for people fleeing their past. We are the state of second, third and fourth chances. But once they’re here, most folks discover you can’t really get away from your past. In the 1920s, after Carlo Ponzi was busted in Boston for running the original Ponzi scheme, he fled to Florida -where he was caught running a real-estate scam.
    *Our history:* Floridians have been stubborn and strange right from the start. In 1845, when Florida joined the United States, the first flag that flew over our capital bore the slogan, “Let Us Alone.” Florida’s cattle-herding settlers didn’t cut the same romantic figure as the cowboys of the Old West. Artist Frederic Remington described them as “low-browed cow-folks” who would “shoot and stab each other for the possession of scrawny creatures not fit for a pointer-dog to mess on.”
    *Our people:* Since World War II, keeping Florida’s economy afloat has depended on maintaining a constant influx of new residents, prompting The New Yorker magazine to dub us “The Ponzi State.” We went from being the least-populated Southern state in 1940, with 1.8 million residents, to nearly 20 million now - and 95 percent are crammed in within 35 miles of the state’s long coastline. This human tsunami rapidly altered the state, bringing in the young, the old, whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics and a host of other census classifications, all bumping up against each other, ramming into each other’s cars, loudly objecting when their neighbors’ dogs pooped on the lawns.
    *Our guns:* Floridians hold more concealed weapons permits than people in any other state - more than 1 million. We also lead the nation in the rate of accidental shootings, in part because *Floridians tend to regard guns not as weapons but as magic wands you can wave around to make problems go away.* The most powerful lobbyist in our state capital is the great-grandmother who represents the National Rifle Association. She’s responsible for writing the “Stand Your Ground” law that’s now been copied by many other states.
    So yeah, basically we are a bit odd, but not that much worse than other states, but because of our open records laws, our crazy is exported in the form of funny headlines on the daily.

      @TF2CrunchyFrog Před 5 lety +37

      I seriously wonder if there isn't a water-borne brain parasite down in Florida. I'm a biologist, and parasite ecology is something of a hobby. The subtropical US South has historically been full of parasites that people could get infected by simply by walking barefoot on bare earth in the days before in-door toilets and laws that forbid to put raw untreated sewage out into the fields, so the worm eggs would be spread over the moist ground and the tiny adult worms bore their way into the soles of the feet and make their way into the intestinal tract where they cause anaemia through bloodloss. Swimming in amoeba-infested waters is also a great way to pick up "little friends" that can infest the lymphatic system or brain. Or get tapeworms by eating wild animals or undercooked meat. Or breathe in tiny eggs from animal feces, including house cats, if they are infected.
      A lot of parasites can alter body or brain chemistry in their hosts. Or just form a cyst in the brain.

And some seasons are impossible to forecast. Like, every summer, I swear it's my last one, then fall comes around and I feel great. Then summer comes around again and I feel like im on the verge of appearing in a newspaper. It's maddening. Fucking Florida!

      When I stayed at Clerbrook RV park and golf resort, where only two of 18 holes _don't_ border ponds, a smallish alligator at the edge of a pond had my golf ball in its mouth. I hoped the critter would drop it as I approached. Nope, it took the ball right down into the pond. I didn't care so much about the ball -- I was concerned that the gator might eat it. That can't be good for them.
      I hope he/she thought it was a gator egg rather than food, and was instinctively rescuing it.
      I played that hole several times. Alligators were a regular sight.

      Florida man is just a variant of the even longer running "area man" joke used by the onion. With the added benefit of being from one of the trashiest, craziest places in the world, whose very mention stirs connotations of absurdity. Florida is like, if venice beach were a whole state, everyone was perpetually drunk instead of high, and there were a bunch of alligators around for some reason

    Honestly, this segment is brilliant, because I was laughing along with the joke so much, then at 5:14 I actually began to see the very real social issues contributing to something that seems more tragic than I realized.
    A suddenly densely populated state with mostly-forgotten, struggling, semi-rural areas. I know where I'm from at least, everyone bought a Florida house when it was cheaper there, and moved down there to retire, or just kept it as a shore rental. That was about 10 years ago, when I was a kid. That's really sad, actually. So a lot of the better-off Northeasterners are somewhat responsible for this chaos.
