Some of the original data both of these quizzes is based on is here: dialect.redlog.net It has maps for each question, and state-level summaries. I'm guessing the authors of the new quiz just scraped the state-level data and used that, but that loses a lot of the granularity (visible in the maps).

Update: the dialect map quiz thing going around is a cheap knockoff of the good one, which is here: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

phrases i never expected to read in Justin Sun's post about his heartbreak, ranked: 3. "when I came back, she was still standing in front of that banana." 2. "On January 2, 2026, Soneva Jani, in the new year, I proposed to my mother." 1. "That movie is Zootopia 2."

crypto billionaire Justin Sun has posted an extremely long, extremely weird Twitter post detailing a previous relationship with Chinese actress Jing Tian, suggesting she reneged on a $50 million agreement to use her eggs to have a child with a surrogate (screenshots machine translated)

HE Justin Sun 👨‍🚀 🌞 profile justinsuntron 6h My girlfriend Jing Tian The weight of a single egg is 3.5 micrograms. The weight of the $50 million in cash is 2.5 tons. Jing Tian asked me for the latter during the phone call from Montage Laguna Beach, and the former was the collateral. She went there to retrieve her eggs. The surrogate child is expected to be born in 2027, or even earlier, in the Year of the Horse. This was something she initiated. Upon arriving at the clinic, she said she wouldn't proceed without 50 million yuan. Montage Laguna Beach sits on a sea cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. She booked that entire area for thirty days, a million dollars, all for her privacy. She stayed for eight days and then left.

There's no standing for states to sue over that EO yet because it's just the president of the United States officially proclaiming his order to illegally interference in state elections, and you have to wait and see how and if agencies actually follow what he said first, is pants-on-head lunacy.
