Hey Google, fuck you! Ugggghhhh. Give me Google Assistant back, I don't want your AI bullshit! Gotta figure out how to permanently rip this shit out of my phone now.

I am SO sad that Aldi doesn't carry these year-round here in the US... They're seasonal so they only have them for the summer months. But they're SO FREAKING GOOD!!! I know Lays makes them too but I've never seen them here :dragnsob:

Everyone else is doing it, so... Sure, why not? But yeah, this tracks :dragnyellcowboy: Actually a little surprised how accurate it is! Then again, I've lived here most of my life, so... #DialectMap

A heat map of the US showing that my spoken English dialect is most similar to how people in Oklahoma and Kansas speak. Gosh, who'da thunk it??

Cities most & least like you, interpolated from the nearest survey responses.
Most Similar:
1. Oklahoma City, OK (53%)
2. Kansas City, MO (52%)
3. Miami, FL (52%)
Least Similar:
1. Boston, MA (48%)
2. Portland, ME (48%)
3. New York, NY (49%)

What gave you away (answers that point most strongly to Kansas):

• What do you call the little gray creature (that looks like an insect but is actually a crustacean) that rolls up into a ball when you touch it? - roly poly
• What term do you use to refer to something that is across both streets from you at an intersection (or diagonally across from you in general)? - catty-corner
• Which of these terms do you prefer for a sale of unwanted items on your porch, in your yard, etc.? - garage sale
• What do you call the insect that flies around in the summer and has a rear section that glows in the dark? - lightning bug

Bruh. It's almost 100°F (37.8°C) outside already and it's not even noon yet - it's 11AM y'all. It's forecast to be 108°F (42.2°C) today. Summer, can we, y'know, not? Please? :dragnmelting:
