The first dog in Minnesota?! What did they do before that

Moose, elk, and hockey players. Also a few stray Wisconsinites.

The Wisconsinites are expensive to feed..

Yeah, Minnesota almost ran out of cheese, Vikings fans, and beer!

Ironically… Minnesota produced more cheese (and dairy products in general. Land O Lakes is based here.) and Wisconsin has more lakes.

Hold up. They only have more lakes because they count ponds. A lake in Minnesota is "a body of water greater than 10 acres". Wisconsin does not have a standard.

Details…. Details….

(You’re not wrong, that is why. But still I like some good irony.)

To be fair, depending on her physical stature, the woman behind the quote is a big Meaney!

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

That's only because Wisconsin defines "lake" differently.

And some Canadians that were reading their compass wrong.
