The large amounts of no-bro-zones scares me.

Interesting. Can we have have at least a tiny bit of info how this data came to be?
Not just this one, but all the infographs, maps etc. Always leave entirely open if someone just guessed the data for the lulz.
This makes me a litte sad sometimes
So the map is more accurately titled "How American Twitter users refer..."
"White american male twitter users", according to the last paragraph
Thanks! I think it would be a great rule of thumb for lemmy to always include sauce and especially the sidefacts about the data that relativize it. (See other replies)
Less shiny maybe, but more real :)
Haha, I do quick dumps. Maybe when I have more time, but in the meantime you guys usually pull through digging around, and you usually find some extra cool stuff too. :)

The only thing this proves is that us here in the PNW truly do have less friends than the rest of our country men.
but it's made up for with the greater PNW polycule

You can call me Al.
So, we're no longer using 'stud?'
Only for bros with benefits.
People in Georgia and Washington State apparently don't have friends.
Or Florida.
But actually it checks out for WA
Florida has a few bros.
Liv3 WA, can confirm.
Alaskans and Hawaiians are incapable of forming bonds of friendship.
Washington and idaho as well apprently.
I am from Seattle.
Anecdotally:
This is correct.
People are absurdly transactional, performative and superficial about relationships and also very anti social compared to basically anywhere else I've ever been in the US.

West coast here. There’s also “man” and “guys.” I use those way more than “dude” lol
Breh.
I'm apparently in the "Pal" region and it's not a word I use often to refer to people, nor have I heard it used often by others either.
We use "Dude" pretty often, but looking at the map you'd think this is a dude desert.
Further down the article this screen’s taken from, they show the raw data they got for “dude”, and its usage is pretty much everywhere.
Speaking of brotymology, what's a gender neutral version of bro/man?
they are kinda a gender neutral.
Bro is fairly commonly used as gender neutral word.
Man (as in my man) does not have an equivalent (my person does not havve the ring) - but originally, man was the gender neutral term for persons, and we user mer (as in mermaid) / were (as in werewolf) for males. that is how man was used. But that very well could also be due to bias in writing and archiving of stuff, I don not know much about this.

Fella 4 life
I thought America was mostly NTSC
My buddy in Atlanta would like a word.
Chief…
Been ‘dude’ for me as long as I’ve been alive.
Eastern Pennsylvania apparently has no word for Bros.
It's just a nod and a quickly whispered "Go Birds."
