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.

It’s not arbitrary. Just take a good history book, look out for the years and try to think why that year was chosen. You might even look if the generation time spans are different in the US and Europe.

Condescending and didn't provide any helpful information. What is this? Stack Overflow?

I just adjusted to your style of writing: Shouting around that this doesn’t make sense. Full stop. No more, no less.

I answered it does make sense. Full stop. And gave you hints how to get it by yourself.

However, you need to invest some brain thoughts by yourself. I‘m not teaching you every little aspect of generations and why they named as is. I would but not in your style of shouting. What is this lazy social media attitude? Or just bad style?

You're so weirdly judgemental over a single comment. It was a question on lemmy, not my college thesis. Chill the hell out dude.

You are very fast in throwing bad words. Poor style kid

The irony that YOU'RE criticizing MY writing...

It wasn’t either of those

They shouldn’t be expected list out the historical events for each generation, it makes sense to just say events happened that shaped an age group of people

I think their point on the year was bad though because people would need to be alive for the event to matter

Like 9/11 wasn’t in 96
