We learned by rote, same with math. I still feel cheated I wasn't taught common core math, after seeing a video on YT a few years back.

I have no idea what any of the states are that make up the chef (not American). But I now forever and a day will be able to find Kentucky

[–] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The chef states are (from North to South) Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Those states, amongst others, grow a lot of food, Corn, wheat, rice, pork, beef, and soy, come immediately to mind. They're certainly not the only ones, but they do a lot.

Louisiana's pretty easy to remember, as well- not just because it's the boot, but also because it's shaped like the first letter in Louisiana.

If someone showed me a map of a fantasy world they created with something like that on it, I'd think they were a hack. But, here we are, I guess!

Shirts are illegal in Missouri.

What about shoes and service? Have they been banned there yet?

I live here. It is true. I have the worst fucking sunburn.

My color blind ass is struggling with the red text on blue, what's it say on the right?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

"Kentucky fried chicken right here!" with a line going to Kentucky

From 3rdish grade iirc, MIMAL (Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana) is a man in a chefs hat making lots of food for the whole country. MN being the hat, LA being the shoes.

[–] YerbaYerba@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn you must have had a good school. I didn't learn about MIMAL until 6th grade social studies.

It was pre-NCLB, I think they had a lot more freedom on curriculum then.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

I never knew this acronym, but I found it helpful that the states directly north of Texas all have a K.

Didn't read the text, thought it was a man boning a chicken

[–] DannyMac@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Idk, Kentucky is fairly distinct with its shape... I'd appreciate something to help me with Colorado, Wyoming, or Kansas

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

As someone who lived in Kansas, just look for the middle of the middle.

The center column of states has 6 states (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas), and Kansas is in the middle of that vertical line (given that the northern 3 are a bit thinner).

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The box that says shirt, right? This is actually kind of neat to know. Thank you.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, the box that contains "Shirt"

Fun fact, the geographic center of the contiguous states is very near the center of the top edge of Kansas. Including Hawaii and Alaksa, the geopraphic center shifts to the top left corner of South Dakota, just east of where Montana and Wyoming meet.

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

When I was a child, my mother had to travel to Kentucky for work and I told everyone who asked that she was at "Kentucky Fried Chicken."

My dad pointed out where Kentucky was on the map, and I almost immediately saw the chef and pan in the state shapes. I've never forgotten where Kentucky was since then.
