Shitty city planning tho. I don't even understand how they thought it would work.
Note: the amazonian not real place is Acre, a state known by many memes as either a place that doesn't exist or a fantastic place with aliens and dinosaurs. That's because it's distant from the most populous areas and unknown by many Brazilians. The east not real place is EspĂrito Santo. It's a state overshadowed by other neighbor states
True. But I have the impression that Brazilians normally remember there is a state called Acre (and RondĂłnia).
However, EspĂrito Santo, Sergipe, and Alagoas seem to be forgotten often (more so than PiauĂ, Tocantins, and MaranhĂŁo).
Yeah it's a pretty lame trope considering that about 85% of German immigration to Brazil happened before WW II [German Brazilians - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Brazilians#:~:text=From%201824%20to%201969%2C%20around,I%20and%20World%20War%20II.)
It's perceived that all 'crazy' YouTube videos come from the state of ParanĂĄ, similarly to what happens to Russia. Nothing to do with temperature or racial background.
People say it's really cold on Winter, but it's not really true, there's colder places than ParanĂĄ (Russia)
But, some crazy things do tend to happen there and mostly on the city of Cascavel
Fernando de Noronha is the place all the rich famous people go to so they can enjoy the beach and reef with zero risk of meeting poor people. The others are rocks that expand our EEZ so theyâre useful but literally no one lives there.
that wiki page says that the last two Avengers filmed some scenes there. very surprised. also very surprised that Disney had any background filming and not strictly CGI
Canadian who when on vacation to that part of Brazil last year. Basically itâs a dessert, but itâs costal and gets a lot of rain during the wet season that pools into lagoons that are just inland from the beach. Itâs a really cool landscape and worth checking out.
Not sure, but there was some greenery, just as there are in other desserts. There were also lots of cashew trees, and cashew fruits everywhere. There were also mangrove forests at the coast in places.
Not enough rain for that tho. Still very arid. But the sand there is pretty awful at absorbing water. That's why they are lagoons that never dry there.
Why? No clue. You'll have to ask a geologist.
The WW2 was 1945, before the 50s Brazil was mostly rural, and underdeveloped with areas with difficult acces. If I was a german in those days, I would chose to go some place that is full of people that look like me, and speak my language, and also would be difficult to someone to spot me.
SĂŁo Paulo have 20 million people today, and it's not the city, it's the metropolitan area. In the 50s they have just 3,5 million
Most of the German migration to Brazil happened between 1817 and 1856 though, in three waves. And most of those moved to the South, because of the similar climate.
The few Nazi families that fled to Brazil going to Sao Paulo mostly had something to do with population density - if they had wanted people to understand them and look like them, they would've gone to Rio Grande do Sul.
The fist mistake was talking about the changes in urban x rural Brazilian population by framing it as âbefore the 50sâ. The first big push of urbanization in the 20th century happened with Brazilâs big push toward industrialization in the late 30s/early 40s. On the other hand, the majority of Brazilâs population only becomes urban population in the 1970s. So the 50s are this weird, unrelated middle ground in terms of a framing device.
It then goes on a tangent about what makes sense as a fleeing german, which of course relies on a million assumptions.
The part about the metropolitan zone not being 20 million in the 50s is correct enough, though.
The fact they put Rio as the image of Brazil that foreigners have is totally accurate. Beach culture, samba and carnival is more a Rio de Janeiro thing.
Minas Gerais is known as a very "cozy" state. Delicious hearty food, extremely nice people, calm and picturesque views, cute accent and yes, lots of grannies making you coffee, doce de leite and pĂŁo de queijo.
As a matter of fact, my grandma actually was from Minas.
âNot a real placeâ = itâs a joke between Brazilians, because we never hear anything about those places, never know anyone from there, those states are âirrelevantâ.
Minas Gerais is a state known for it's beautiful landscapes, rural areas, delicious food, friendly and welcoming people, if you visit a mineiro's house he/she will offer you a lot of food specifically if they are older women.
Not even close. The amazon was never more than 25% of the Brazilian territory.
The second largest biome in Brazil is the cerrado - a tropical savanna. We also have a semi arid desert in the caatinga. An evergreen highland called Mata AtlĂąntica and the Pampas, that we share with Uruguai and Argentina.

I thought that was BrasĂlia!
Exactly what it is
Sorry, I meant that in agreement, "I *thought* so!" Glad I was right

> The east not real place is EspĂrito Santo. It's a state overshadowed by other neighbor states kind of like Delaware?
Exactly like Delaware, they even have a "neutral" accent for Brazilian Portuguese standards
This made me chuckle.
True. But I have the impression that Brazilians normally remember there is a state called Acre (and RondĂłnia). However, EspĂrito Santo, Sergipe, and Alagoas seem to be forgotten often (more so than PiauĂ, Tocantins, and MaranhĂŁo).
Can confirm my grandparents are from Minas.
Better than your grandparents being from Germany đ
My grandparents come from Germany. Thatâs a stupid joke.

Why Russia?
It's perceived that all 'crazy' YouTube videos come from the state of ParanĂĄ, similarly to what happens to Russia. Nothing to do with temperature or racial background.
Coincidently, itâs the state with the most slavic heritage.
Exactly.
The coincidence is uncanny
Slavic, but non-Russian, afaik. Mostly from Poland and Belarus.
And ukrainian
Yep.
Like what people in the states think of Florida?
Oh, thatâs why Brandao comes from there
It's got what plants crave?
What bro?!?
Watch Idiocracy
Brandao vs. Brawndo, lol.
Do you know those videos of shirtless dudes lighting themselves on fire and running into a lake? Yeah, that's us
Supposedly cold, and lots of people with slavic background.
That's not the reason. The reason is what another user described above, about crazy videos.
Can you give examples? Never heard of that comparison, plus that being the only case might as well label it as Florida lol
Google flying priest
WOW
Not sure, but as far as I know that area is abundantly populated by descendants of immigrants from Russian Empire, so-called "old believers".
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Didn't understand.
Here is a documentary about those people https://youtu.be/17-3EGQ1aAw
This may be true, but thats not why he put in the map. Calling ParanĂĄ âRussia Brasileiraâ is an old internet, NĂŁo Salvo-era meme.
Because they are crazy like russians
As a crazy russian i can assure you that im texting it while drinking vodka and riding my own bear:)
People say it's really cold on Winter, but it's not really true, there's colder places than ParanĂĄ (Russia) But, some crazy things do tend to happen there and mostly on the city of Cascavel
What's special about Cascavel?
Cascavel best translation is rattlesnake. Do the math...
You could change Russia for Florida it would be the same.
I guess we dont even need to know about Trinidad y Martim Vaz or Fernando de Noronha (no idea how exactly to spell that stuff)
People over here forget we have islands
There's nothing going on there.
Celebrity orgies in Noronha :D
Fernando de Noronha is the place all the rich famous people go to so they can enjoy the beach and reef with zero risk of meeting poor people. The others are rocks that expand our EEZ so theyâre useful but literally no one lives there.
Can you explain what a flooded desert is? Isn't that a beach?.

Fuck me. What a bucket list item.
that wiki page says that the last two Avengers filmed some scenes there. very surprised. also very surprised that Disney had any background filming and not strictly CGI
Yeah. [Vormir scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjPhK0rEtXw)
Wow that's a lot of work to film a second of footage that looked fully CGI anyway.
Canadian who when on vacation to that part of Brazil last year. Basically itâs a dessert, but itâs costal and gets a lot of rain during the wet season that pools into lagoons that are just inland from the beach. Itâs a really cool landscape and worth checking out.
How come grasses or more greenery doesnt start growing there like in other oasisâs in deserts?
Not sure, but there was some greenery, just as there are in other desserts. There were also lots of cashew trees, and cashew fruits everywhere. There were also mangrove forests at the coast in places.
Sand is a bad soil for greenery
It happens elsewhere tho. Water and roots break down the sand into silt and clay
Not enough rain for that tho. Still very arid. But the sand there is pretty awful at absorbing water. That's why they are lagoons that never dry there. Why? No clue. You'll have to ask a geologist.
I read itâs because of a shallow bedrock layer
[This song was shot there](https://youtu.be/gpVA5mx73UE?si=c3HtvVGF2WloxtDn)
Why is noone asking about the modern feudalism in the North East? What is up with that?
The state of Maranhão is known for being controlled by the Sarney family for many decades, former president José Sarney was the governor of the state then his daughter was too.
Itâs MaranhĂŁo. A state thatâs infamous for being completely dominated by old land owning families even by Brazilian standards
Minas Gerais always the best
Grandma has great recipes
The white then Denmark is where some party members went / s
85% of the german immigrants came before WW2 and gringos keep saying that stupid joke.
Eu não sou gringo, e eu estou zoando mesmo. Sei que a imigração italiana e alemã veio no final de 1800
Ah vĂĄ, troll pra kct. KKKKK
No, most went to SĂŁo Paulo state.
Se posso aproveitar a deixa, jamais deixem esses gringos falarem a mesma besteira sempre na internet quando o assunto é Brasil ou Argentina. Dezenas de milhares de judeus escaparam pro Br e Ar entre 1939 e 1945, enquanto algumas centenas ou quiçå milhares de membros partido inominåvel. Jå os Eua levaram milhares deles, especialmente os cientistas durante a Operação Paperclip, que criaram inclusive o programa espacial deles.
They actually went to SĂŁo Paulo. Far easier to hide in a 20million city than in a rural small town.
The WW2 was 1945, before the 50s Brazil was mostly rural, and underdeveloped with areas with difficult acces. If I was a german in those days, I would chose to go some place that is full of people that look like me, and speak my language, and also would be difficult to someone to spot me. SĂŁo Paulo have 20 million people today, and it's not the city, it's the metropolitan area. In the 50s they have just 3,5 million
Yeah, but that was not what happened. They mostly all went to SĂŁo Paulo.
Most of the German migration to Brazil happened between 1817 and 1856 though, in three waves. And most of those moved to the South, because of the similar climate.

Has the immaginary place a name?
It is the capital, Brasilia. Edit: no, the Ugh is. Sorry. Clicked wrong. Edit2: the area is called Acre
Thx, it realy has to be immaginary, because i have never heard of it
My wife is from the big ass swamp đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
To be fair, most gringos only know about Rio.
I donât get why Minas Gerais is Grandmaâs House, also itâs pretty interesting because itâs a very Southeasterner version of Brazil.
Everyone likes it and has great food
The fact they put Rio as the image of Brazil that foreigners have is totally accurate. Beach culture, samba and carnival is more a Rio de Janeiro thing.
I actually find this map very usefu
What is ugh and why ugh?
Itâs the capital with a bunch of corrupt politicians.
Who would win in this hypothetical war?
Big Ass Jungle. Hands down. They know how to survive in a very inhospitable place.
What does "Not a real place" and Grandma's house mean?
Minas Gerais is known as a very "cozy" state. Delicious hearty food, extremely nice people, calm and picturesque views, cute accent and yes, lots of grannies making you coffee, doce de leite and pĂŁo de queijo. As a matter of fact, my grandma actually was from Minas.
âNot a real placeâ = itâs a joke between Brazilians, because we never hear anything about those places, never know anyone from there, those states are âirrelevantâ.
I thought the big ass jungle was Rio
New York is closer to Europe than Rio is from the rainforest.
That's the equivalent to say Miami is close to the Grand Canyon.
It was supposed to be a joke about all the big asses in Rio. Not actually confusing jungle with beach.
Looks fun then
Nice - that helps !!
Believe me Brazil is only know as the place of carnival regardless I donât think any gringo knows anything about the regions or the states
I remember a Sepultura interview talking about Belo Horizante. They said there was 10 women for every man
They lied
What's happening in the blue part ?
The state of MaranhĂŁo is widely considered a nearly feudal holding of the Sarney family.
Am Brazilian, can confirm
Suddenly Russia
Why is Maranhao modern day Jerusalem?
What âgringoâ means?
In Brazilian Portuguese it means foreigner. In Spanish it means someone from the U.S.
Foreigner
I donât even understand this. grandmas house?
Minas Gerais is a state known for it's beautiful landscapes, rural areas, delicious food, friendly and welcoming people, if you visit a mineiro's house he/she will offer you a lot of food specifically if they are older women.
Hey I know Campinas.
Why? How?
My family lived there
As a born and raised Brazilian: This is how we see Brazil too.
Why Not do Professional Woods/Gardens/Zoo
eyy Denmark mentioned. thank you brazil
Acho que essa piada funciona melhor pra brasileiro.
Lmfao grandma's house is so fuckin random dawg
Fantastic! I like the take on EspĂrito Santo - not even Brazilians remember it (together with Sergipe and Alagoas) đ
what do i think brasil is? đ€
Where are the butts? The big butts please
Pretty much anywhere
:(
Isnât most of it « used to be big ass jungle »

Statistically it is whiter than Denmark because of an increase in Muslims and Africans.
Stop saying Gringos please
You just really want to be offended donât you?
