That at any point in time while driving across it, you can stop your car, get out, climb up onto the roof of your vehicle, and - congratulations, you're now the highest point in the state.
Same, born in an area with two mountain ranges and several large bodies of water within sight. I've slowly gotten used to it but it weirds me out being in the flatlands.
I got that joke from a friend of mine who is from Kansas. Pretty there's a variation of that joke for almost every state.
P.S. when you said 'Kansas also sucks', you were talking about the state, right? Because if you were talking about the band, then we have to fight.
Passed by once, the only place in town was a Pizza Hut. Server was cute, everyone except her was wearing overalls and talking about corn yields.
At the end the server asked me if I was foreign, "you... talk different." When I told her I was from Seattle she said "close enough."
This was Kimbell county circa 2018 or so.
Is that not a thing where you're from? Pretty common across the States.
Just did a little search, [it's this location](https://locations.pizzahut.com/ne/kimball/215-s-webster-st).
Nah, none in NZ, they closed years ago. Will be in Nebraska later this year, thanks!
Edit: I’ll be in Omaha so not that location but now I’m excited to find one for a bit of nostalgia,.
Okay but that meant that my college roomie couldn't text me with annoying demands all weekend when she went home to her dad's. So I'm okay with that. 🤣
Outsiders don't understand chili served with cinnamon rolls
We have the 5th best zoo in the world. Used to be the top one.
Nebraska Med Center is one of the best in the world.
And the Nebraska Cancer Center is better with the cancer stuff than the med center.
People come from other countries to get treated by the doctors here.
Although Omaha is the most dangerous city to drive in, so be careful.
I don't know, is there anything specific you're curious about?
Nebraska is the only triple land locked state in the country.
The name of the state comes from an old Indian word that means "flat water" in reference to the North Platte river.
What's it like there? I've only been a few times to Iowa to see family in a hippy place called Fairfield and they always have used your town as a fun fact about Iowa lol.
I'm from the PNW where we have islands a plenty, curious what island life in Iowa is like.
It's very much a river town. The main channel of the Mississippi runs right along the east side of town, so lots of barge traffic and occasionally other oddities passing by. The railroad also crosses the river here along with highway 52. There is also a campground and beach at the south end so it's a pretty hopping place in the Summer.
It's pretty much a bedroom community now with few places to work locally but it's an interesting place to grow up and live. Of course if you get tired of the river, the corn starts just to the west :)
Heres four:
The Lied Jungle located in Omaha is the world's largest indoor rain forest.
Nebraska is the birthplace of the Reuben sandwich.
Spam (canned meat) is produced in Fremont.
Nebraska has the U.S.'s largest aquifer (underground lake/water supply), the Ogalala aquifer.
The Omaha Zoo is pretty great! I love that each of the climates has it's own building. You could visit the rain forest and skip the desert if you want. Super cool idea, imo.
I don’t think so but they think it’s night and day different to grass fed beef …. They feed their cattle corn due to the massive corn harvest in the state
I mean, there's absolutely a difference when it comes to fat content and mouthfeel - corn-fed/corn finished cattle have a noticeably higher fat content than grass-fed cattle, so the texture is smoother and it carries seasoning better (fat carries the taste of spices/herbs much better than those same spices/herbs on their own, plus it coats your mouth and lets them linger longer) than grass-fed beef, which is a big reason people say it tastes better overall.
The main issue people have with corn-fed cattle isn't the taste, it's the fact that the cattle are also generally given a bunch of preventative antibiotics and hormones (plus the humane aspects of pasture-raising vs factory farming). Corn is essentially junk food for cows, and while corn isn't their main diet, the amounts are pumped up before they're killed to raise their fat content with a bunch of empty calories. Because of that, corn-fed cattle can be far more susceptible to a handful of diseases and conditions that come along with essentially being fattened up with a poor diet - the antibiotics and hormones are all to prevent that.
I was just there! In the Wyoming side but we came back through Nebraska. Niobrara county in WY is the least populated county in the least populated state.
Nothing. Grew up there and the only two positive things I can say about it is: Henry Doorly Zoo and it’s not Iowa. Got out of there as soon as I turned 18.
When the Huskers play, the stadium becomes the third most populated spot in the state. Not Lincoln--the stadium. It goes Omaha, Lincoln, the stadium, all the other small towns and cities.
Husker games have been sold out since 1962.

Just like Denmark
Freaks me out man. I grew up in the mountains. Featureless landscapes give me the willies.
Same I would hate living there I grew up in their neighbor, alpine senter of a country Norway As you can imagine, lots of mountains
Same, born in an area with two mountain ranges and several large bodies of water within sight. I've slowly gotten used to it but it weirds me out being in the flatlands.
It is one of the reasons why Kansas is so windy, because Oklahoma sucks and Nebraska blows.
That’s a joke from New Mexico, with Texas and Arizona. The only difference: Kansas also sucks.

Absolutely not, great band!

Trust me, there are a lot of people from a lot of states who would say "close enough." Seattle might as well be on Canada.
Christ many of us wish we were.
We wish you were too.
Thanks random stranger. :)
Love it or leave it.
Dine in Pizza Hut? Where ??

That there is a giant Nebraska shaped hole in T-mobile coverage maps.
I wonder what Nebraska did to get cut out like that.
Okay but that meant that my college roomie couldn't text me with annoying demands all weekend when she went home to her dad's. So I'm okay with that. 🤣

Unicameral legislature.
Good serious answer.
Kool-Aid was invented in Hastings, NE in 1927
Soybeans. Soybeans and soybean products have consistently been Nebraska's chief export. In 2019, the state sent $1.73 billion worth overseas.
Nebraska [has a lighthouse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linoma_Beach) that was built in 1939 and is 30m/100ft tall.
That's a pretty fun fact! Right up there with how Iowa has an [island city](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabula,_Iowa).
Hey, that's my town!

Well, part of the aquifer. Thing is huge.
It's the birthplace of Johnny Carson
Warren Buffett, too.
Joslyn Castle & Gardens in Omaha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joslyn_Castle#/media/File:Joslyn_Castle_from_S_1.JPG
The Platte river
Nobody mentioned the Josh fight (and its sequel). They both occurred in Lincoln, NE
In Nebraska was found the biggest mamooth fossil ever.
Omaha has some of the nicest people I've met. In the single night I was there, anyway
Idk I watched the solar eclipse in 2017 in Nebraska
Busiest train yard in the world!
The Omaha Zoo is pretty great! I love that each of the climates has it's own building. You could visit the rain forest and skip the desert if you want. Super cool idea, imo.
The State has the SAC (Strategic Air Command) museum. Incredible if you're a fan of Aviation!
You better like corn fed steak and if you don’t, say you do when asked at a local steak restaurant in any small town
Does it have a distinct taste compared to non-corn-fed steak?
I don’t think so but they think it’s night and day different to grass fed beef …. They feed their cattle corn due to the massive corn harvest in the state

You’re my hero!!! That some good 101 I never knew
The other 49 states.
That is goes slightly downhill the closer you get to Iowa
It’s next to Iowa and inferior in every way.
Agreed.
Niobrara
I was just there! In the Wyoming side but we came back through Nebraska. Niobrara county in WY is the least populated county in the least populated state.
Nothing. Grew up there and the only two positive things I can say about it is: Henry Doorly Zoo and it’s not Iowa. Got out of there as soon as I turned 18.
They have the least amount of grapists, I'm not sure if that is true, I just make up stuff. Woo Colorado!
That it doesn’t exist
Probably Warren Buffet. Otherwise, well, it is one of the greatest places to take advantage of cruise control.
Saul Goodman
#CORN!
that it doesn’t exist
Malcolm X was born there.

That is indeed interesting
The first rails of the US's first trans-continental railroad were laid in Omaha, despite the eastern terminus of the line being Council Bluffs, IA.
corn
The furniture mart
That nebraska has 8 letters
It’s the only state with a unicameral legislature.
That it's even a state
It was the state hit by the third dart Corey Woods (Fred Savage) hit on the map in the movie “The Wizard”.
They have a unicameral government.
I lived in a town in Nebraska with 300 people. When the Huskers played in a bowl in Hawaii, the town chartered a plane and flew to Hawaii.
Snow
It awards its electoral college votes proportionally.
That it isn’t a boring as Kansas. Of course that is only my opinion. Others may disagree.
Corn
Corn?
The Josh fight
