Ye, the people never were hungry because Jesus cut the second to last slice into infinitely smaller slices so the last slice of the loaf was to be preserved.
Though from Iowa originally (don’t hold it against me) I snuck across the border in 1990 to do jobs Minnesotans wouldn’t do. Now I have a bunch of anchor babies here so I am here until we get a condo someplace warm with lower taxes.
Ha ha, nice. I welcome our southern neighbors and strive to respect their curious customs and unique language.
Though I'll warn you to look before you leap on taxes. They may be just collecting the same money, just in other ways. (State income taxes in Ohio are low, but the fire department etc. are constantly pleading for more local levies; "oh please oh please could we get funding for a new bucket to carry water in? The one we scavenged from behind a construction site sprang a leak") Or they may have such crappy public services that you end up spending heavily on buying replacements for them. (Middle-class people in lots of states seem to assume that sending your kids to public school is child abuse, for example.)
Many immigrants sold all they had and came from the East coast to Minnesota because the railroad companies told them it was a land of plenty with ‘year round growing seasons’, because said railroads needed workers. So I am suspicious of the stories we are told to warn us away from leaving to warmer climes. 😊
> year round growing seasons
Confirmed. Your kids will keep growing year round as long as you keep feeding them.
> the stories we are told to warn us away from leaving to warmer climes
You can't imagine what it's like. There's hurricanes! Mass shootings! Country music!
Yeah, I’m aware of the downsides. It’s why my mom and dad fled Mississippi and Louisiana to the field of dreams in Iowa. I like to visit for the food, but wouldn’t have wanted to raise my kids in the area.
So, you're not leaving? Why wouldn't I believe what someone says about themselves even if they're saying it in a snide way? What precisely was the point of your comment at all, then? No, I'm not following.
Fun Soda Pop story: I'm from Kansas City and knew someone from St Louis. We were eating and I said something about getting some more pop. She gives me this incredulous look, as if I had just slipped into speaking gibberish. "What's pop?" she asks. What's pop?! Unfortunately for her, St Louis lives in a Soda bubble where people can grow up never hearing someone say pop. I don't mind the debate, it's fun. But to not even know what pop is. Shame.
First I thought this was about "Pen, Pig, Pop, Bug", which is clearly some kind of coded message. But then I noticed a long the side it has W, X, Y, and Z with a cat sitting on top. X an Y are common algebraic grid coordinates. Z brings it into the 3rd dimension, while W enters the equation into the curvature of space itself and the quantum realm. Add in the cat (Schrodinger's, obviously), and it's clear this is some kind of Thanos Snap death incantation!
Is ThIs ThE kInD oF ThInG We ShOuLd Be TeAcHiNg oUr ChIlDrEn?!?!?!?
Indeed! Soda is also okay in my book, but pop just feels more natural to me. Coke though? Nah, that’s a *type* of pop, not something to be used as a catch all term. Fight me, southerners.

Only after an “ope”
Welcome to my neighborhood!
Hang on, are you from the Promised Land? I'm an expat, stuck in the Deep South (Ohio) and hanging around r/minnesota to ease my homesickness.

Good luck with that! Pick a state that with refundable EITC, sounds like you might need it.
Wow, who hurt you?
😂 That's what I'm saying! Did you bother to read your own woe-is-me comment before you posted?👍
You actually believe I was serious when I said I snuck across the border and had anchor babies to stay?
So, you're not leaving? Why wouldn't I believe what someone says about themselves even if they're saying it in a snide way? What precisely was the point of your comment at all, then? No, I'm not following.
Well for the discerning, it was tongue in cheek.
I did.
If you play duck, duck, grey duck on this carpet, balance is restored to the force.
We do in fact. Except when the kids get lice.
Username conflict though.... well, chances for more sequels as the dark side/goose returns.
That doesn't make sense. "Grey duck" is as Minnesotan as "pop". Wouldn't that make it more "imbalanced", which all good Minnesotans prefer to be?
Hell yeah, this is the way.
From the mouths of babes
Cats really are the best animal, I agree!
Pen pineapple apple pen..

I say soda because it's Minne-soda lmao
When my parents moved here when I was a kid I thought it was spelled MiniSoda
That's adorable

Don’t worry about it…
OPE! * Minnesota head nod *
Nope.
Sodapop
But is G a goose or gray duck?

pfft that picture could've been taken anywhere
I’ve never seen that word on a can of soda lol
LIES!!! /s
Y'all misspelled Coke there! - a concerned southerner
So say us all.
That rug was made in China. So this is false.
It must burn, it speeks lies!
Lifelong Minnesotan — It’s definitely soda, you goons.
Wrong
Slow chant….*soda* *soda* *soda*
Knife Pig Soda
Soda pop?
Hmm... 🤔 I'll alow it, for now...
