The last time I wrote about a study tracking where New Jersey stood compared to other states for how frequently we curse it was the summer of 2024. At that point, according to a study, we were No. 6. Texas, Connecticut, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida were ahead of us.

Now a new study was done that shows New Jersey is in 2nd place.

(Tears in eyes) I’m so f***ing proud of you guys!

The study by NFT Plazas had researchers painstakingly go through thousands of Reddit posts from state-specific online communities.

Over six months, New Jersey was found to have used 2,389 curse words on Reddit. That breaks down to more than a dozen per day.

Now that’s just in writing, which a lot of people are hesitant to do since online moderators might take exception. Imagine how many cures are flying verbally among 9 million people daily.

The only state that beat us?

Texas.

They beat us by only 116. Come on New Jersey! Just one extra curse a day and we would have held the top spot in this $**t show! Perhaps two extra curses a day and we could sponsor a child in a third-world country? Like the ultimate swear jar.

Which swear words showed up the most in the study? Here’s the Top 10.

What would happen to NJ if we were attacked by nuclear weapons?

We used NUKEMAP by Alex Wellerstein to see what would happen if a nuclear warhead hit New York, Philadelphia, Washington or New Jersey.

The models show what would happen in aerial detonation, meaning the bomb would be set off in the sky, causing considerable damage to structures and people below; or what would happen in a ground detonation, which would have the alarming result of nuclear fallout. The models do not take into account the number of casualties that would result from fallout.
