Chicago: the Midwest’s unofficial capital of deep dish, deep snow, and even deeper generational trauma. It’s where you move if LA feels too fake and New York feels too expensive, and you still want a big city that lets you say “ope” without judgment.
It’s the only place where a hot dog without ketchup is a personality trait and getting mad at the CTA is a full-time hobby. If you’re born here, you defend the city like it’s your cousin in a fight. If you moved here, you act like you discovered it.
These funny Chicago memes are a special breed. They’re not just funny. They’re weirdly accurate, kind of aggressive, and usually involve at least one reference to potholes, Malört, or a cursed snow-covered chair.
