The 50 states of the U.S.A can often get Europeans confused. Is there really that much difference between Mississippi and Alabama? Washington and Oregon? To outsiders not so much, but of course locals will definitely let you know! To get more clarification on how to distinguish between them, one Redditor asked Americans what are the things everyone should know about each state. It's hard to say if this person got what they were asking for, but the result is definitely amusing.

While some users offered tactful descriptions about unique nature of their states and shared important historical facts, others were a lot more candid. Americans dispelled absurd myths, showed what makes them proud and didn't hesitate to point fingers at their own flaws with hilarious examples. Proving once again that they know how to laugh at themselves. Scroll down to see for yourself!

    I was on a college campus tour in Wisconsin once. A concerned parent asked "Do students often head off into town to drink?". The tour guide replied, "Oh, don't worry, there's a bar on campus!" By far the most Wisconsin misunderstanding I've ever been witness to.

    Strictly regulated brothels operate legally in isolated rural areas, away from the majority of Nevada's population. Prostitution is illegal in the following counties: Clark (which contains Las Vegas), Washoe (which contains Reno), Douglas, and Lincoln.

    The real description: Philadelphia on the east, Pittsburgh on the wet, Alabama in the middle.

    I can confirm this is true. My school had a silent auction with a basket full of Old Bay Seasoning.

    I live in CT, and if I could describe it in one sentence... "We invented Lyme disease, and that is the most interesting thing that has happened here)

    In Charleston, SC, we voted Democratic in the 2016 Election. We did not support the orange-faced clown. And we don't blow our horns about "seceding from the Union first." That's not something to be proud of!

    As someone that was born and raised here, I can say that most of the state is breathtakingly beautiful, but also there are some areas where you can feel the racism in the air

    I'm old enough to remember when it was "tea" and "unsweet tea" and a "hot dog" had chili until the people that don't like the south moved in because of cheap taxes.

    We moved here from Cali four years ago. Self-righteous rednecks, zero nightlife, liquor stores are closed on Sunday, Jesus this and Jesus that, racial strife and hatred toward anyone that doesn't fit into their white ideal. Neg me if you want, but these aren't opinions. They're facts.

    I live in Ohio and have never seen people in pajamas in public. I would have put "Turn signal? What's that?"

    'We have waffle house' does not accurately describe the waffle house situation down there.

    I'm only an a*****e when it's warranted. Like when tourists visit and ask where top go to look at leaves. Right out your hotel window Sharon

    Yellowstone super-volcano should worry more than just people in Wyoming - If it ever does erupt.
