    It’s such an ignorant comment to make. Obviously they’d already ridden to McDonalds in Utah to see the insult in the first place.

    I’ve been to Wyoming a number of times. You can say it ain’t my first rodeo, but my first rodeo was interesting. I saw a 5 year old kid hang on a sheep for dear life as it ran about 20mph across the arena and also saw a 6-8 month pregnant girl (early 20s) with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other.

    No one flinched at either

      I giggled when I read “I’ve been to Wyoming a number of times,” because “Wyoming doesn’t exist” has to be my favorite stupid conspiracy theory.

        Yes I’ve heard that and it’s hilarious. Or it was hilarious. Then you realize you’re in a reality where people don’t accept facts right in front of their faces anymore

        My favorite part of this is that there’s people here capitalizing on that by selling “Wyoming Doesn’t Exist” merch.

        Almost want to buy a shirt

    Drove out to Portland from the Midwest with a friend once. I also denied Wyoming’s existence, but after seeing it I gotta say it’s too beautiful to deny. Idaho though? That state did not exist, like the PNW’s Bermuda triangle.

        Nature is great in Idaho. It’s the people there that suck; bunch of Mormons, Far-Right Catholics, and Aryan Nation compounds. There’s a town named Athol we joke was named by a fellow with a lisp describing the residents.

        If you want to enjoy the best that Idaho has to offer go to western Montana.
