This is "laugh or cry" territory, so I'm putting it here. Some Redditor decided to have AI generate a map of the most popular regional food in each state, and this is what it came up with. It just gets better (for certain values of the term) the more you look.

I had to laugh when I looked off to the right saw the shrimp pork. I wondered, are they eating little potbellied pigs?

Not deliberately funny, but this is the best place I can think of for last night's story.

 

The scene: a Super 8 hotel in Story City, Iowa. I note at check-in that you have to ask for a coffee maker for the room, and ask for one. The clerk notes that there's coffee available 24/7 in the lobby. I ask for the coffee maker anyway, the way I won't have to get dressed for my first morning cuppa.

 

A half-hour or so later, I go back down the hall to ask about the coffee maker. She'd had to send her partner to the storeroom, wherever that is, to find one. She produced it.

 

Me: "What about coffee packets to go into it?" 

She: "You mean there aren't any in the room?"

 

:huh:

 

Why she'd think that, when the coffee maker isn't already kept there, I don't understand. I never did get any packets.
