Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They are. Those areas are thinly populated.

Unfortunately it's land that votes, not people.

Ohio and Florida are thinly populated? Texas has a large area but also population.

Ohio is mostly corn and "Hell is real" billboards.

You are forgetting about Grandpa’s Cheese Barn to. Also as another user mentioned it’s a highly populated state

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but it also has the 7th highest population in the country and a higher population density than California, somehow.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

California is also big.
