Beyond the issues with fauna, even before all the right-wing extremism intensified down there, Florida was known for its drug-addled, low-IQ weirdness, such that Florida Man and Florida Woman became memes.

I grew up in the northeast USA. I lived in Florida for 12 years before moving back north last year. 6 of those years were in Miami Beach and the other 6 in St. Petersburg. I really just hated the weather. I don't like heat. From March 1st to December 1st average temps are always above 80F with high humidity. Doing anything outside during those 9 months means copious sweat. In December through February you get a few comfortable days, but still get days over 80 degrees. During the summer months the average highs are in the 90s for months, and the low temps are in the 80s. It never cools off.
I also enjoy the outdoors. Besides the heat issue, the only interesting nature in Florida (central and south anyway) is underwater. South Florida was/is a swamp. Pretty much all the land you walk on was manufactured by humans. There is no "nature' above water and the closest "mountain" is a 10 hour drive away. Even the grass that grows there is horrible.
With no seasonal cycles, flora and fauna just never stop growing, weeds especially. No break from yard upkeep. Organic material is always rotting. Humidity makes everything moldy.
That's not to mention the politics, weirdo people, high real estate prices, etc.

I've never been, but local radio station way up here (Northern Ontario) had a daily segment for a couple of years that was a collection of 3 fairly ridiculous news stories coming specifically out of Florida

I once donated a few pieces of a watch bracelet for a german microbrand watch to a very nice guy in Florida a few years ago. That's all I know. For some reason it has never made it to the top of my list when I've visited the USA.

scrolling through the pictures on my phone, it's like 80% knives and stones. I really should take more pictures of my kids.

It is one thing to deliberately perform the fingernail test during sharpening.
It is another thing entirely when your claw grip goes slack in the middle of some garlic sprouts. The adrenaline rush, boy, it is better than video games.

That’s where my thoughts went too.
Plus everyone knows the finger with PTSD and scars is the index finger.

When you go to put your other knives away for 1 in April and discover that you have a cardboard sheath with VCI paper from a vendor for a knife, and have no idea what knife it is for.

Now I’m curious does this benefit the liquid injected grocery store birds common through the US, or just the fancier air chiller birds? I tend to dry brine steaks for 2-3 days on a rack which dries them a bit, figure maybe it’ll rid the bird of some of the water weight

For a whole bird, I'll often spatchcock it. Either way, I like to place the pieces on a wire rack with a tray (in the fridge of course) and let them go at least 24hrs. Just sprinkle right on the skin, both sides.
