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.

Because generations are culturally defined, I think they're created by shared cultural events. You're a Boomer if you can remember Kennedy getting shot and the moon landing, but not the end of WWII. You're a Millennial if you remember the fall of the Berlin Wall but not Reagan getting shot. You're Gen Z if you don't remember 9/11 but do remember COVID.

You'd have to be a very early millennial to remember the fall of the Berlin Wall since the upper end of being a millennial is somewhere between 1993 - 1996. They were not even born yet. The distinguishing event might better be 9/11.

I’m a millennial and the only thing I remember about the Berlin Wall falling is my parents talking about it while I had no idea there had been a wall.
