#florida man is crazy because his brain is 85% meth but new york people are just Like That

[thedawningofthehour]

I know Florida is one of the most fuck up states right now for LGBT people and that the deSantis is or Super evil or Super stupid.

Okay yes, that is also accurate, but there's also the mythos of Florida Man. From Wikipedia, it refers to an alleged prevalence of people performing irrational, maniacal, illogical, delusional, insane, and absurd actions in the U.S. state of Florida.

Just a few headlines I got from a quick Google search:

Florida man holds construction workers at gunpoint, fearing they would ruin his lawn

FLORIDA MAN ARRESTED FOR TRYING TO CROSS OCEAN IN "HAMSTER WHEEL"... AGAIN

Florida man commits assault with a deadly weapon by throwing alligator through Wendy's drive-thru window

Florida Man Caught Feeding Wild Alligator Resists Arrest: 'He's a Good Boy…And He Loves Bagels'

Florida man arrested for having sex with stuffed 'Olaf' at Target

Florida man starts GoFundMe to build tunnels under proposed border wall

You get the idea.

This mostly comes from the laws in Florida that grants the press more freedom to write about whatever shenanigans that go on, but also Florida is a monument to man's hubris and basically no one should live there. It's incredibly hot and humid, they have hurricanes up the ass, like a third of the state is just swamp and will be underwater by 2100, so that all gets to people's heads. Their tax laws and warm climate give them a huge population of old, retired people with nothing better to do. And I think crazy people are just attracted to it-my mom's best friend lives down there, and while I love her she is two bananas short of a bunch. But if you weren't already, Florida would definitely drive you to insanity. Plus the meth.

Basically: Florida Man is whatever's between a superhero and a supervillain, but is super regardless.
