Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Neat!

Though, I've found a lot of folks from a lot of parts of this map would just tell me they're "from the Midwest".

That’s because the majority of these regions are horseshit. Nearly everything around the Midwest in this map doesn’t exist and we’ll just say we’re from the Midwest

I’ve started hearing Great Lakes more and more from people in MI, MN, and WI in the last several years.

I would venture to say that the part of all of these regions adjacent to the Midwest could be considered subregions of it. Many people you'd meet in these areas would be likely to say they're in the Midwest.

Don't worry, living in what the map calls "lower midwest" the midwest will do its best to not include.

I live in Missouri, friends living in midwest states "Missouri isn't Midwest." They can't tell you exactly where it is, but it sure isn't midwest. And the exclusion seems to continue all the way northward until I'm convinced Wisconsin is just attempting to rename itself "Midwest" so that no one else can claim it.
