Fun fact, part of why Florida Man exists is Florida's open records laws that make arrest records and other details public instantly. Many other US states likely have just as many weirdo hi-jinx but the records stay private longer so there is less to troll through for tabloid news stories and thus we hear more of them from Florida.

@Jonimus So other states are just as bad, they're just hiding it? Is the USA the Florida Man of the world?

@Kvaseren I mean... yeah, pretty much

@Kvaseren As an American, when I see other countries (or their citizenrs) engaging in the same insanity that we do, my first thought is, "Whew, at least it's not just us..."

And that thought is immediately followed by, "Oh s--t, It's not just us..."

@Kvaseren

Nah, most other states don't have man-eating lizards.

@Jonimus I've heard that before, but why would it matter when the records were released? I don't think tabloids are going to ignore "Maine man robs convenience with lobsters" just because the records are for an event from 5 months ago.

Then in comes Texas with a Jackalope, Australia with a Bunyip, and New Zealand being ridden by a Hobbit and chased by a Taniwha.

Next Scotland with its pet Haggis, Ireland with a Leprechaun, and China and Taiwan arguing over who brings the Dragon.

@sshipway
Haggis is not a pet.

@The_Yellow_Ardvark Indeed, it's more like a service animal. Although I find the idea that some Scotsmen use the haggis as a therapy animal to be a bit daft.

@The_Yellow_Ardvark Well maybe the *Highland* Haggis (the one with one leg longer than the other for running around mountains) is likely not a suitable pet, since it is too vicious, but the *Lowland* Haggis is far more docile, provided you don't feed it any whisky, of course. An adult Sporran would seem to make a great pet as they are so soft and strokable but I hear they are a considered "at risk" and so not permitted for domestic ownership these days...

Florida man, not hero we wanted, but hero we deserved

Florida Man Is Capable To Survive Godzila At Any Level

@NorskViking01 … and still be the worst super hero at the same time.

@NorskViking01 He would be trying to "tame" it like was an overgrown pet alligator.

Haha, Paddington Bear as a mythological creature? That’s hilarious. I kinda see it. Troll dolls are creepy tho, don’t think they’d make good myths.
geometry dash spam

Florida man is scarier than Godzilla.

though if we're comparing to Godzilla maybe King Kong would be our mythical giant creature

imagine Godzilla fighting Paul Bunyan...

btw Godzilla and Florida Man are gonna fight

I guess American tall tales are our 'real' mythology most famous being Paul Bunyan which we share with Canada
though maybe not considered "modern"

What do you call Godzilla when he is having a bad day? Grumpyzilla!

@RusA Your AI is fucking lame.
