I wasn’t sure there was a clear winner. Sus is cool. But then I looked lower. Haha

I saw SUS, WAR and HUN in a row and thought they were all pretty awesome, but then I took a gander down south and saw the undisputed winner.

Jersey county abbreviations are the origin of all gen z slang.

Kinda sus, no cap. Super mid at best

Lol, for cream pie fans but I'd say MID is probably the most accurate in more ways than 1🧐

Never thought I'd see cream pie mentioned in this sub. Lol

Middlesex county, home of:

  • A community college with too much… MCC mofos
  • lightbulb city(my town)
  • donut town(town within my town)
  • a lot of brunswicks(iykyk)
  • a lot of golf courses
  • too many amazon buildings(2 in my town)

Context:

  • Middlesex College aka and fka “Middlesex County College” they may have changed the name, but still referred to as MCC
  • Edison
  • Metuchen (known as “the donut hole” because Edison surrounds Metuchen, the border goes through my house
  • New, North, South, East
  • I lost count of the courses
  • there is 1 or 2 in Carteret I think, 1 in/near Monroe, there’s 2 in Edison across the street from each other. That section of rt 27 with the 2 amazons and a FedEx building I refer to as the fulfillment district. Conveniently located near Walmart/Costco, pines manor and town hall.

Also, it's cute that you call Edison a town. Edison's downtown is called Metuchen (historically).

I refer to that Walmart/Costco area by the Amazons as the circle of hell. Hate driving there and hate that parking lot.

It really is a hell, especially between 4-6pm. That’s when the shift changes happen at amazon. The higher up day managers and 90% of site leadership leave by 4 at the latest, the “human resources” day team gets out at 4, outbound days gets out at 4:30, outbound nights goes in for 5, inbound days gets out at 5:30, inbound nights goes in for 6. The other 10% of site leadership is nights. Hr is in quotations because they don’t really do anything ever.

I moved from Iowa to New Jersey a few months ago - this is hilarious! But also it’s strange to me there are so few counties. We have 99 counties in Iowa. 😱

CockercombeTuff t1_j9tn3w3 wrote

Iowa = 55,857sqmi, NJ = 8,723 sqmi. Larger by a factor of over 6. Population density is where we go gonzo on every other state...

Given that population density, NJ counties are fairly large, but I figure that has a lot to do with factors like historical development patterns, major transportation routes, and land use (e.g., farming). I'm originally from Monmouth County and it's wild how disparate the different areas are.

By the way, any chance you've ever done RAGBRAI? A friend in New Orleans (where I used to live) told me about it; he's gone a few times. Hoping one day to give it a go.

HUNIH22 t1_j9u1ho7 wrote

RAGBRAI is awesome!! I’ve never done it but have lots of friends and family that participate. Definitely worth the trip

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_counties_in_Iowa

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_counties_in_New_Jersey

  • Polk County, Iowa contains the city of Des Moines, which is also the capital and most populated city in Iowa. Polk has about the same number of people as Burlington County, and the same area as Atlantic County.

  • Bergen County has less area than Iowa's smallest county, Dickinson. But its population is about double Polk County's.

  • Salem is the least-populated NJ county, but it has nearly as many people as Iowa's Adams, Ringgold, Audubon, Taylor, Osceola, Wayne, Fremont, Ida, Pocahontas, Van Buren, and Worth counties, combined.

  • Those eleven counties have about 5,300 square miles total. New Jersey has about 7,300 square miles of land area, statewide.

Finally, New Jersey has more counties than Iowa per square mile of area, but Iowa has more counties per capita.

state pop (approx) sq mi land area # of counties counties per million people counties per thousand sq mi
NJ 9,288,994 7,354 21 2.2 2.85
IA 3,190,369 55,857 99 31.0 1.77

I remember when I was in 4th grade we learned about NJ in social studies and my teacher had a large map of NJ hanging in her classroom. Some shithead in my class circled the word "sex" in Sussex, Middlesex, etc. lmao.

Upon further review, this is not an abbreviation, but just taking the first 3 letters of each county

A few of these aren’t correct, not according to the state courts abbreviations. CUM is most definitely correct though
