Talking to German friends:

“I hear Bavaria is like the Texas of Germany?”
“Oh no, not at all. Bavaria is not scary!”
“Do … do you guys think Texas is scary?”
“…….”

@spacewizard @tiffanycli Heh.

It IS kinda like the Texas of Germany: separatists, conservatives (relatively speaking), southern border, strong economy, distinct cultural identity, accent.

Caveat: I've never been to Texas outside of an airport.

@cliff1976 @tiffanycli lol good to know
