In 1999, a farmer gave away 87 acres of land to a small Texas city to use as a park. The city sold to a data center developer for $10 million.

    It is a joke.

    They are intimating that texas makes so many mistakes that “Don’t mess with texas” may be a blowhard boast to texans, but to everyone else it means “just let the idiots wreck themselves”

        And since they doubled down on it being the actual origin when pressed on it, I don’t think they were joking.
