In the early days of Twitter, their error screen was a whale being lifted from the water by the birds. It was affectionately known as the "Fail Whale"

It's been gone for a while, and he's apparently saying it is back from the dead

I thought the same thing at first. Those are blue checkmarks.

Calling bullsh*t on that land use map for Maine. Maine is 90% forest, most of that owned by timber companies.

I think it's saying that pink area is how much land in the US is used for housing. Not that all the countries housing is in New England.

Agreed but it is funny to think everyone who wants to golf has to head to South Carolina.

I'm just happy I live in "Food We Eat" land and not "Wildfires."

Also, "Christmas Trees" is where they film all the Hallmark movies. Big tax breaks there.

There's gotta be like 4 people that that joke is made for.

It's from one of the best Star Trek episodes ever made. Lots more than 4.

...and we're all in this thread.

This is realllly old data, but in terms of livestock feed, I remember a stat from like 20 years ago that 90% of the corn grown in Michigan is for animal feed. Hence the "Food we eat" block being maybe less than half the size of "Livestock feed".

Side note...I tried corn here in Greece once. Just once. It was...so terrible. I miss the Michigan yellow and white corn (on the same cob) grown for human use. So much.

Growing up in the UK, corn on the cob was never tasty. Frozen corn was always sweeter and crunchier. So much so that every time we tried it we were disappointed. So I never ate it.

Then I moved to the US and, 16 years later, met the my wife. She's from upstate NY and grew up living next to a people-corn field. When we started cooking together she introduced me to the delight that fresh corn on the cob is, and we now have it all the time when it's in season.

The corn in the UK must still be sh*t, because when we served it to my mum one year, she couldn't believe just how sweet it is. Had to fight her for the last cob

I just saw this at the store and made me laugh out loud:

In Ohio at least, that's "sweet corn"

Everything else is for the animals, and is the majority of what is planted.

Up here in Canada (well at least the Prairie provinces) the corn we grow for human consumption is called "Peaches and Cream". I've heard from multiple people who grew up in Europe that, when they found out we eat corn, the were disgusted at first because the only corn they knew about was feed corn.

Corn is best when turned into bourbon.

Or delicious high-fructose corn syrup.

As an Iowan your comments are so weird. There are lots of different kinds of sweet corn. peaches and cream is just one. It has ears that have white and yellow kernels. But there are other varieties. And here during second season they should see a vendor selling from the back of a pick up truck.
My grandfather loved sweet corn so much he planted his garden so a in a new row of sweet corn came ripe just about every day so every meal for 2 to 3 weeks in the summer we had sweet corn.
We cut it off the ear froze it so that we had corn all year long as well.
Sweet corn, and BLTs are still a frequent summer meal for my family.

Well, I'm certainly going to defer to the Iowan in terms of corn.
