It’s the wet sock of our states. It’s the paper cut in the webbing of your finger. It’s the fart you gambled on and lost. I spent a short amount of time in Ohio and had a strong urge to leave and never come back. Nothing super specific but just a general feeling that it was not a place I should be.

A large number of early American astronauts were from Ohio creating the perception that Ohio was such a miserable place that they preferred the cold, empty voids of Space to the trash heap that is Ohio.

Its full of farm fields, and there aren’t really any tourist attractions or interesting cultural features there, so it has a reputation for being really boring. Also, being quite rural, there are a ton of republicans and billboards that tell you you’re going to go to hell.

It has an excessive number of vowels.

It used to be a fairly strong representation of the American Heartland; farming, manufacturing, mining, etc. Then manufacturing collapsed, the steel towns died, the jobs moved elsewhere, and it’s basically a very rundown shell of a state. And because of that, the people who still live there hate everyone else (especially ‘libruls’, who Fox News tells them are the ones responsible) and are miserable to be around (I have family there).

Ohio is America’s armpit with absolutely no redeeming features, and has a longstanding rivalry with the Queen of The Midwest, Michigan (Michigan got the Upper Peninsula, God’s Country, and Ohio got stuck with Toledo). Ohio is the Russia of America, if Russia sucked more.

It was one of the first casualties of globalization.

Back when Ohio and Michigan were about to become states, they had a feud over Toledo. This led to the Toledo war, where both Michigan and Ohio mobilized their militias. We have not forgiven each other ever since
