    That’s where all the illegal immigrants feed the cows to make hamberders.

    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.

    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”

        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.
