    I always thought Ohio didn’t exist but this seems to imply that maybe there’s a black hole there instead. Tricking people into approaching it is just kind of mean.

      It’s a play on the joke that everybody hates living in Ohio. I have never lived there but I can confirm that everyone I’ve ever met who has been there has the same reaction

        I grew up in Ohio, and can confirm that it sucks in every way, including the people. Anyone with any self-respect or empathy for their fellow humans leaves Ohio. Everyone that stays, sucks. Awful place, with awful people.

        I go there for the theme parks every once in a blue moon and literally nothing else. I’ve never seen an interesting looking town when driving through. It’s like every town is a stop outside a bigger city that isn’t there. Even the “big” cities never really feel bigger than a typical random American town.

        Of course when you’re actually there it’s not that exaggerated, but this is the vibe I get from the state. But it’s not like any of the surrounding states have wildly positive reputations to compare against. So at the end of the day, it’s just a very unremarkable state with not much to do. There are worse reputations.

                That’s the Cuyahoga River, that runs through Cleveland, on the Lake Erie coast. It last burned in the 70s, but it has improved greatly, due to the closing of many of the steel factories that used to be upriver.

      Adding to what others have said, it’s generational slang:

      https://www.merriam-webster.com/slang/ohio

      Ohio is used (mostly on the Internet) to describe something that is weird, awkward, cringeworthy, or otherwise undesirable or bad in some way. It can also be used to mean “boring” or “foolish.”

      I do think the quote tweet is meant as a joke and cheekily poking fun at the org for not being hip to youth culture and memes while on a platform that young folks might use. Although do they still use twitter? Even my old ass moved away from it after Elon bought it.
