    New Zealand has a ‘Shit town of the year’ election and honestly it’s a gamble each year because all the towns are shit.

        The francs are pretty chill tho. If your immediate reply to being called Bavarian is to distance yourself from that term you have my respect. If we defederate Bavaria they can stay. It would be only fair if Bavaria has to take Thuringia and Saxony tho and integrate those int the new Bavaria/Austria state.

        As a Bavarian: Yes absolutely. It’s not like I hate my fellow Germans but from a cultural and historic standpoint, this makes sense. I think it would get a majority in Bavaria and if Germany wants us to go too. Let’s go!

          To be fair, I have never been to Bavaria, but the few interactions I had with Bavarians weren’t painting a positive picture. I worked in a theme park in northern Germany on the weekends while I was still in school and my friendly “moin.” was answered with a “Das heisst servus, Junge!”. Maybe they were just drunk, though. So no bad blood to my southern friends. My previous comment should be taken as friendly banter.

      I love this answer because it goes for almost every country in the world.

      Also, they think they’re the centre of the country and ate better than everyone else, right!?

    Probably only because of my closeness to it probably blinded me too much to see a lot of the decent people that probably exists, but where I grew up. A small coastal town in Telemark, Norway. They are just so goddarn closeminded, unapologetic assholes, casually sexist, ignorant tribal grouped, backtalking rednecks of a people. And I thought that was the uncomfortable norm until I moved just a bit out from there.

    I’m just glad they aren’t very religious on top of that or they would have been completely insufferable. On the other hand, I haven’t seen them racist, ableist, nor lazy. So there are probably worse places in Norway.

    Araucanía (Chile 🇨🇱), does not matter your skin colour, language or religion, nobody is safe there.

    Special mentions:

    • Talca, every single bad thing that happens in my country happens there first (COVID, floodings, forest fires, etc). It’s a common joke among chileans that we should just “Blow-up Talca” or that “Talca doesn’t exist”.

    • Estación Central (Santiago), you take your bus or train as soon as possible and you get the hell out of there, because the odds of you getting robbed (or even worse, stabbed 🔪) by staying too long are very far from 0. Do not ever go near that place at night time. 🌃🚫

    I’m from Venezuela. It’s really hard to say, most of the border with Colombia and Brasil is dominated by crime and the law of the Paracos or Guerrilleros.

    I might say La Guajira in Zulio might be the worst region, but also Petare in Caracas is the biggest favela in the world and is way too dangerous, a straight up no-go-zone.

    Scotland. Just insert the Groundskeeper Willie meme here and that should cover it.

    Nice enough place but people can be so adversirial within in the same city, region or coast depending on the issue at hand. Some really annoying polarising opinions with seemingly no room for negotiation?

    Maybe it’s an older generation and rattling their cages though? Here’s hoping.

    London Metro definitely, utter shithole. It’s a moneysuck to the extent that I don’t know how the average bloke can survive. Run by gigarich fuckronauts, sold off to foreign criminals; one big £12-a-pint, can’t fucking move for people, money laundering operation.

        That’s just as well cos we don’t get up to much else. Not that we’re total cynics; sometimes we’re happy enough to break into fits of sarcasm.

          This, I got affections to that sarcasm. Besides, I feel that it is usually delivered in a delicate blend of linguistic spices that tickle my senses far beyond that french fries American English.

    Madrid. In my opinion, they see themselves as the coolest, the only who matter in Spain, while the rest of us are merely peasants… assuming we exist.
