I guess I'll volunteer to be the sacrificial ... thing.

I have no idea where Minneapolis is. In fact, I know you just said the state, but I already forgot. (I'm going out of my way not to read it while typing.)

Okay, I remembered it was in Indiana. And Indiana is to the right of Illinois. That's pretty much the extent of my knowledge of Minneapolis.

I live in Missouri.

Oh god, I had this nagging feeling before posting this comment, so I went and looked it up. Not only did you not say the state (it was the article), but Minneapolis is in Minnesota, not Indiana.

... And I don't know where Minnesota is. At all.

The final nail in my coffin is that apparently the article starts with an image of precisely where Minneapolis is. I didn't consciously recognize it.

Okay, I figured out why I thought it was Indiana. My knowledge of U.S. Geography comes from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSvJ9SN8THE&ab_channel=BillS... and "Indianapolis" rhymes with "Minneapolis". I'm not sure whether to feel better or worse.
