[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Still lost, but happy to say the joke is on me if that makes some shithead feel better. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) I’ll try: OP is pointing out the cultural/political divide between the North and South in the US or just how the South is different from a lot of the US. They’re “foreign” to outside eyes. Southerners treat Buc-ee’s like a religion almost with their obsession. Like some people get cultish about Chick-fil-a. Ergo the symbol of Buc-ee’s, the beaver, is an idol of that foreign religion (buc-ee’s worship) as viewed from the outside. The idolatry is a reference to Moses coming down from the mountain when he got the 10 commandments and all that to find people worshipping a golden calf instead of god. The South is very religious…or at least presents that image. So a bunch of stuff happening in that short OP comment. Got the religious south worshipping a beaver for a store that people outside the south don’t know about or understand the cultish following it has. permalink fedilink source parent
