Nobody confuses Long Island with the five boroughs 🤦🏾‍♂️😂🤣

[damusagi]

people seriously find this confusing??

[Byzant]

Ain’t nobody calling that WHOLE region Manhattan, Long Island 😭😭😭

[Accion_y_Pasion]

It’s Long Island. The City. And the Rest is Upstate NY that’s it

[Meme-uwvg]

As a long islander, I'm surprised that people find this confusing, but also, if you do a little more research, you can find a couple of Long Island and New York City Independence referendums from a while ago that would have made Long Island and New York City two separate states while leaving the rest of New York State as a state

[TEETIMEE]

As a Long Islander, we definitely do not claim New York City as a whole or Brooklyn and Queens

[gyrozeppili]

As someone who lives both in the city and Long Island for my entire life, this ain’t confusing.

[reviewheroes]

While New York City is not located on Long Island two of its boroughs are.

You instantly contradicted yourself.

[CJDimes]

Simple: Long Island is better than the other 2 and needs to become its own state and break away from the nonsense of Manhattan and a few other places that shan’t be named that drag us down with the rest of NY

Lets clarify: Long Island is made up of 4 counties. Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk. Brooklyn (Kings County) and Queens County are on Long Island technically, however they are city boroughs and governed by NYC. Nassau and Sufflok the other 2 counties have their own representation and governments so to speak. When people from the area talk about going to Long Island they are referring to Nassau and Suffolk even though Brooklyn and Queens are part of the Island. Most people from Queens and Brooklyn when asked dont even realize they are standing on Long Island.

Queens and Brooklyn are apart of Long Island but that doesn’t mean the lifestyles are the same. Two completely different places. It’s crazy how a 20-30 minute drive (if there isn’t insane traffic) changes your environment.

[TheMarionetteKitty]

I love how upstate NY was ignored. Just like in real life when people talk about NY.

[mistahmike]

Brooklyn and Queens are attached to the whole island but those two are not a part of Long Island. Long Island Starts after Queens.

Here’s a guide on how to piss off everyone in new York all at once

[Danihowufeell]

The fact that people find this confusing is so funny! Long Islander here 🎉

[timbax]

Television told me Long Island is like the suburbs and Manhattan is the City.

[djchris]

Nobody in the history of the world has ever confused NYC with Long Island 😂

[TheKewlPerson]

Also when someone says long island they're almost exclusively referring to Nassau and suffolk counties. Queens and Brooklyn are almost never included.

[scoopydaniels]

Long Island is a WHOLE ASS DIFFERENT PLACE from Manhattan.. That's like calling Chicago St. Louis.
2 of the 5 boroughs that make up "New York" are ON the island, Brooklyn and Queens, but Long Island is its own thing..

Nobody confuses Long Island with Brooklyn or queens
