True story: first time my ex visited my family in the Midwest. As we started descending, she saw the perfect graph paper alignment and exclaimed way too loudly just as they throttled back “WOW, IT IS REALLY FLAT”
You were dating a retard.
Certainly that’s what she felt like, but parts of the Midwest are strikingly flat with disturbingly regular road layouts, especially to someone who hasn’t been there before. My brother jokes that the biggest hill near him is the landfill and there’s too much truth to that
It’s very different from the hilly area she was used to, where the joke is more like “the roads were not planned but just evolved from wildlife paths following natural features“
I guess I must be “retarded” as well - I don’t get what’s so funny about someone being impressed or otherwise stricken with the landscape of a place they’ve never been to.
Edit: typos
…. And blurt it out overly loudly
I’ve heard they are struggling with interferences in the field.
Oh Lemmy Shitpost, you are a diamond in the rough.
I usually compare myself to coal
Annex us please?
🥺 👉👈That’s where all the illegal immigrants feed the cows to make hamberders.
Oh, so it’s those darned blue states
That’s where all the baby states are made.
All 13 states.
Oklahoma, Alaska, Edinburgh, Boston, Sao Paulo, Arkansas, California, West Virginia, Alaska, Tennessee, Nevada, North Dakota, Florida and, of course, Taxes.
You forgot to mention Alaska
And despair.
I did? Well, Alaska too of course. That has to be all 12.

when I was a kid the circles I saw from the plane window really bothered me and nobody could tell me what they were. we didn’t even have dial up when I first saw them so looking them up was hard without knowing what they are called.
They are circular farms for anyone interested. There is a rolling irrigation line that rotates around the center point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j1lMs7fcIQ
