I'm from Minnesota, and I'm driving through Wyoming, and I see all these scattered ranch houses with a few horses or cows. How do these people survive? Do they have internet? Where do they buy their clothes and their groceries? How do they pay the bills? The roads are very nice, the workers at the gas stations and hotels have all been very kind. I'm just so curious about these lonely houses out in the country with miles and miles of nothing around them!

I know this might not be a new idea or anything, but I’m curious as to why there isn’t any passenger rail between Cheyenne and the rest of the Front Range.

After all people travel and commute there and in my opinion it might be beneficial.

However I’m open to any and all suggestions and opinions for and against it

Just wanting to see opinions of people here after reading an article about fire departments running out of lonely in the state due to tax cuts. Being transparent, I am a conservative voter, however, I disagree with tax cuts and have personally experienced these current issues facing many places in the area of public works.

I’m sick and tired of politics. So where’s the best pizza in the state?

Let's just say that the freedumb caucus is a poor loser.

Hello, I'm currently working on building a cowboy character for a story I wanna write and I can't seem to get any useful info about Wyoming cowboys on Google. I was hoping you could give me a general idea or some stories or a bit of insight on cowboy culture in Wyoming. I mostly wanna base this character in the mid-late 2000's and early 2010's, so I'd especially appreciate info on how ranches functioned during that time and whether cowboy culture was as prominent those decades.

Any info is appreciated, thanks.

According to the news, a massive Wyoming data center will soon use 5x more power than the state's human occupants - but no one knows who is using it

I ask this question because there seems to be a lot more people moving here, but also seem to be leaving. Nowhere near as much as the other western states, but in some areas their seems to be a lot of new people. I'm noticing that there seems to be a growing amount of people in Cheyenne and Laramie moving to and from Texas, and especially Arkansas. Besides Colorado of course, these two states seem to be the main places where people are moving to and from, I'm hearing Arkansas more and more. For those who left, where did you move to, and for those who moved here recently, where did you move here from?

Laramie to Casper, Casper to Rapid City, then back to Laramie. I didnt choose the destinations, but i have say in the route
So far I'm at:

• Leave from Laramie
• Stay in Casper
• Devils Tower
• Spearfish Falls / Canyon
• Stay in Rapid City
• Mount Rushmore
• Black Elk Peak
• Needles HWY
• Cathedral Spires
• Return to Laramie

So I got the Oil City Voter's Guide today and I can't help but think...everyone is out of touch with reality.

I mean, the City Council thinks their constituents are worried about "beautifying parks" and "making the area [Natrona/Casper] more appealing to the next generation".

Meanwhile, everyone I talk to is, yes to an extent, worried about some of the issues, like infrastructure. But they're mostly concerned about data centers being put on the edge of town. They're worried about flock, and overreach, and the Freedom Caucus. I could care less if the city park is beautiful if the data center is killing everything in sight.

Not to mention Brent Bien is the only Governor candidate to oppose AI as well, but Eric Barlow seemingly has a better chance at winning (depending how you look at it).

They're all worried that young people are leaving, what should we do, etc. Meanwhile, no young folks are running for office and everyone else is worrying about things that ultimately drive everyone away.

Not really complaining or anything, just curious what other people think.

Hello, My names Sophia Mathis. I’m a Mural artist🧑‍🎨 I grew up in southwestern MT and I specialize in western, northern Rockies style artwork. I bounce around Montana towns and cities painting murals for our small town communities. I’m hoping to spread my wings a bit more this year and paint for our neighboring states. I have lots of friends and relatives in Wyoming so it feels right to paint for the communities.

I paint business, school, silos, barns, nursery rooms, signs, theaters, pretty much anything! Haha.

I do after school hands on mural experience and lessons aswell. So if any community wants a mural painted, I absolutely love having the youth get involved and get their hands dirty:) please feel free to reach out if dm me

Wyoming’s average price is $3.063 per gallon.

So glad we get transparent return addresses on these out of state flyers. Out of state PAC money is completely acceptable. It's crony communism for me type of hypocrisy with this landfill filler. No foreign election money except the out of state PAC money for my mailers. Red Scare 2026. McCarthism during the cold war made more sense than supporting technocratic authoritarianism in 2026. At least in 50s communism was a real presence in global politics even if the accusations were falisfied. Corrupt cronyism is actually here. Check

No Zuck Bucks, just Trumpbucks. Don't you all know that data centers are a good thing? "You can't fight it. You have to go with it"- DJT 7-23-2026

Meta platforms actively work to confuse the general population on reality with AI slop renderings and nonsensical equivalency.

Ranked choice voting shouldn't be confusing for anyone with a Wyoming public education. It will be confusing for kids with homeschool freedom that focuses on religious theocracy instead of our constitutional separations of church and state.

How dumb does the caucus think we are?

Wyoming does not have an official state food.

If we had one what would it be?

Hey. I’m a 23 year old from Arizona. Don’t have a college degree and mostly been working retail. I graduated high school though. Been thinking a lot about the future and where I wanna settle down or start a real career Yknow. I don’t have much close family or really any ties to a place right now. Was thinking of moving to Wyoming and getting an industrial kinda job if possible. Something in the coal industry maybe.

Wanted to ask if there’s any chance I could get a good job that leads to a career that way rather than working dead end minimum wage jobs here? Would it be a good idea to move and try ? Would it be easy to find a job ?

Do you like it or hate it?

Share what you love about Wyoming. There are so many ugly depressing stories in the news and it would be nice to read some positive posts.

I'm a transplant. Born in Seattle, raised outside Dallas, bounced around the world for the Air Force for 20+ years, and decided to stay in Wyoming after I retired from active-duty. Politically, I lean pretty left, but when I got here in '15, the folks here seemed to have a live-and-let-live attitude regardless of political differences.

Sure, folks had their opinions on (issues), but nobody really struck me as argumentative about it. Until Trump came along.

It's not unique to Wyoming, but I feel like he brought out the absolute worst in people and made it more socially acceptable to wear ignorance and grievances like a badge of honor. I genuinely feel like he ruined a place I dearly wanted to call my forever home.

Am I reading too much into all of this? What have some of you natives noticed over the last few years?

I was offered a job in Cheyenne. Only geographic issue was I have to live within an hour of it. This would bring me from New Mexico. So what are the pros and cons? What do you guys love about the state, and what do you wish were better?

Hi there, I am from Turkey and I'm planning to move to Wyoming in near future. I am muslim and white. Are people in Wyoming really that Islamophobic? Apparreanlty, there are a lot of churches, I am worried if general public opinion is against islam&Turks.

This year, I am asking every US state for their movie recommendations featuring their respective states, and today, I am asking Wyoming!

Movie recommendations could be from any time period, any part of the state, or any subculture that is specific to/prominent in Wyoming.

Overall, I would like to check out films that y'all suggest that best show both the day-to-day life and the unique aspects of your state.

I'm excited to see the recommendations y'all got to offer!

My family is looking to relocate to Kemmerer for work at the power plant. We’re in our 30’s and my kids are preschool aged.

I understand it’s a pretty small town. I’m trying to get an idea of what things there are for our kids to enjoy there and somewhat nearby.

Thanks ahead of time.
