Serious Question?

Is there a difference between a dike and a levee?

The words seem to be used interchangeably but is there a technical difference?

This really isn’t a joking matter; the river is right across the street from me (I’m in Fargo) but your post was funny

The main different is its purpose. Dikes can have no water associated with them (old castle protections). Or irrigation dikes contain water, they don't "protect" from water.

Levees always are meant to keep large bodies of water (Ocean, lakes, rivers, etc) from flooding areas of population or valuable agriculture.
