Google Autocomplete Reveals What People Think Of Different US States

Google autocomplete not only serves as a great time-saver, but it’s also a wonderful sociological tool. Recently, somebody decided to check what people ask about each individual US state. The test was done in incognito mode to get results based on popularity only.

The phrase was “Why does [state]…” To stay on point, questions that referred to the state’s sports teams were disregarded (except for Alabama, because it seems that people don’t care about what else is there). Do you know why Florida sucks? Or why Montana hates the FBI? Leave your answers to these and other state-questions in the comments below!

Kansas has more tornados because the land is flatter, so the tornado can form more easily.....I'm only 12, how the heck do I know all of this?!

Also, NJ is small, but a lot of people live there because the land is cheaper than in NY. You want to be near NY because there are a lot of jobs, but you don't want to pay too much for property. Or at least that is what I think.
