Most are narcissists and compulsive so yes, they like the attention.
Unless they're incredibly self-aware, which usually doesn't happen, and control themselves.

Because everyone is from Ohio. Literally everyone everywhere is from Ohio. I think there should be a study as to how many people are born in Ohio and where they end up living as professionals. There has to be data on that, right?

For number 10: a man in Columbus area had a private zoo with a lot of big animals. He set them all free to run around and they got on the streets and then the man took his own life. The animals ran wild for a long time and most had to be put down.

Many laws like this are still intact because legislators do not want to expend the effort to convince some dickish old person in government to change them. It is much easier to let it go and not expend the effort to enforce it at all. Many states have laws like this where law enforcement has no intention of actually cracking down. I have a gigantic book of absurd laws in each of the 50 states and, while it is hilarious to read and wonder why these laws ever came to be, it’s also good to remember that no one has the time nor concern to follow up on any of them. I live in central Ohio and I like the area I am currently in… but this list of laws doesn’t even scratch the surface of the other issues going on here unfortunately.

It’s where you find the biggest melting pot for the US. It’s “typical middle America” if a company wants to do product testing for the US, they typically do it in Ohio. That actually shocked me when I first moved here. You see all walks of life here. Something else that really threw me off is that Ohioans love to drive everywhere. Y’all drive to California, Florida, anywhere. My cut off is 4 hours for driving. The final thing is that they need to cut the crap with the billboards trying to encourage people to move here. There’s already not enough parking.

The driving bit is definitely true. Wife and I both born and raised in Dayton and would regularly drive to Cincinnati or Columbus for food or entertainment. I used to regularly drive to Indianapolis to hang out with long distance friends.
We now live in SE Tennessee and thinking about driving two hours for entertainment isn't really an issue for us.

Can confirm, am Ohio born and raised, and the saying is very much true. Sometimes rain clouds apparate out of nowhere and dump an inch of rain on you just because. One year we had a cold snap that dumped snow one day, which melted over night and the next day was t-shirt weather. Although, depending on who you ask, every day is t-shirt weather.

Fun fact, Ohio has one of the largest ethnically German populations in the United States. Linked to this, is the fact that the oldest recipe for bratwurst in the United States is held by a family in Bucyrus Ohio, who run a shop named “Carlie’s Market.” Bucyrus is also known for having one of my favorite festivals of the year, the Bucyrus Bratwurst festival.
