I'm beginning to wonder if Uttar Pradesh isn't India's Florida.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope so. I'm starting to see a pattern in Florida Man's behavior. Typically something to do with fucking alligators, public indecency, and crack or meth. I need some variety.

You should check out Iowa then.

Uttar Pradesh, it's a province of India

I was thinking upper peninsula, as in Michigan. I wouldn't be surprised if the story was from there.

I was just stepping into the joke that was unintentionalaly set up. But thank you for the genuine response.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's basically the same thing but in India. Lots of conservative dimwits with too much free time and alcohol.

[–] Glifted@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm from Michigan. 'UP' is what we call the upper peninsula. I was very confused for a second

Honestly this isn't that far off base for some of my mom's Yooper relatives, meth is a hell of a drug

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Wait…. This isn’t a Yooper Man (close cousin of Florida Man?)

Edit: the article is about India. No idea what “UP” is…. But I’m just gonna go with “India has Yoopers too”

A North Indian state

Thanks, I interpreted it as “University professor” at first. I stand corrected.
