This is offensive to my people's culture.

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Relax, Pauly Shore.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah dude, this is hate week. I don't want to see any posts about that state up north.

[-] jodanlime@midwest.social 1 points 2 days ago
[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 points 2 days ago

The state referenced in the OP. It's Thanksgiving week, which means The Game is on Saturday. I hate those bastards up north like an Arsenal fan hates the Hot Spurs.

[-] jodanlime@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago

Oh, that makes sense. Nobody likes Ohio.

[-] TeoTwawki@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

when you include the upper peninsula Michigan looks like someone calling time-out ... while wearing mittens.

also I don't get all the talk of left or right handed. turn the same hand over to like at the back instead of the palm and the "wrong hand" would then fit?

but that's a left hand

edit: realised literally 5 seconds after I posted this what you meant, I am big dumb

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 9 points 3 days ago

Apparently I'm big dummer. I don't get it

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

I'm in the same boat, a leftie and still don't get it 🤷‍♀️

[-] konalt@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

wait i've also gone back to not understanding what

[-] someacnt_@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Are we ever going to get the answer?

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago

I made the comment and I am wracking my brain for what I originally meant.

I think what happened is this: I, a left-handed person, incorrectly identified the Michigan mitten as being a left-handed mitten rather than a unisex (for hands), and then I mistakenly misidentified the actual hand itself as being a right hand.

With these two thunderously incorrect facts in hand, I made a joke that implies that 'of course a righty dominated world would be unable to even see how a left-handed mitten could be mitten shaped.'

Only it was a confusing joke because (a) a common feature of mittens is that they can fit on either hand and (b) the hand in the mitten was a left hand anyway.

At least I think that's what happened. I was pretty high then, and well, I'm pretty high now too.

this is such a reminder that 90% of internet mysteries are just high/drunk people being silly lmao

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

Fucking hell this thread has me lmao

[-] mr_satan 19 points 3 days ago

He's got two hands and both of them are left

[-] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

He's got two left hand that can't flip over.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

and can only be held with the palm facing you.

[-] wick@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

You can do ![](link)

[-] Illegalmexicant@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

What about all the land that looks like it should be part of Wisconsin?

[-] Shortstack@reddthat.com 31 points 3 days ago

Michigan was a state first, suck it cheesehead

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago

I wouldn't push them.

If you anger them, they can will the Cheese Blockage aside, and go full auto.

[-] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 5 points 3 days ago

We have the advantage for going full auto, we have motor city.

Or what's left of it.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Both of you can suck it.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago

That was a brilliant trade by Michigan to get rid of Toledo and get something in exchange.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago

I have honestly never had the thought that the U.P. should be part of WI until reading your message. Lol

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Isle Royal should at least be part of MN.

You mean all that Wisconsin that the Yoopers should absorb

[-] LetKCater2U@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

I thought the picture was of a muscular arm punching a hand

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Linear vision is an epidemic in this country

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago

They say even cowgirls get the blues

[-] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

it looks like a crab hand. too bad there's no crabs in the lake.

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Not only are you wrong, but you missed an opportunity to bring up that they are called Chinese Mitten Crabs.

[-] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago
[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

Bold move not putting the UP on this. If Wisconsin wasn't so wasted and full of cheese they might have done something about it.

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Real question is. Do you point to your palm or the back of your hand?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

When you have two left hands and no wrists.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Oven mitten. Though personally I think it's more of a crab claw
