Hi everybody, my girlfriend showed me a Tiktok about manga authors adding unnecessary incest plotlines to their works and I thought immediately “They are from Monterrey” (we are from Mexico).

I remembered that the States have a similar joke about Alabama and I started wondering if other countries also have a state or city associated with people who are, for some unknown reason, attrated to their cousins.

Here in Mexico there even is a kind of saying for these people «A la prima se le arrima».

      The webbed fingers are an evolutionary advantage for paddling in the broads

        As long as the broads consent first, of course.

      As an American who has lived in the Southern US and East Anglia, I feel like Norwich/Norfolk is more Mississippi and Suffolk is more Alabama. But I really don’t have anything to back that up other than Suffolk feels more rural. And Norfolk seemed more willfully ignorant. At least this was the case 20 years ago when I lived there.

          Fair enough. There I go over thinking things again.

      I’d argue the whole county, but Norwich is certainly the eye of the storm on that front…
