This is offensive to my people's culture.

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Relax, Pauly Shore.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago

Oh, that makes sense. Nobody likes Ohio.

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] konalt@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

wait i've also gone back to not understanding what

[–] someacnt_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are we ever going to get the answer?

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

Fucking hell this thread has me lmao

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

and can only be held with the palm facing you.

[–] Illegalmexicant@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Michigan was a state first, suck it cheesehead

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Or what's left of it.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Both of you can suck it.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago

Isle Royal should at least be part of MN.

You mean all that Wisconsin that the Yoopers should absorb

[–] wick@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can do ![](link)

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

They say even cowgirls get the blues

[–] LetKCater2U@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

When you have two left hands and no wrists.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Linear vision is an epidemic in this country

[–] TeoTwawki@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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?

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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