It's very American that one of the pages nearby me is a well known mass shooting.
Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I guess you live on the US. Most of America doesn't have this problem
Correct, I only use American for the US because I don't think there's a term like "Mexican" or "Canadian" for the US other than "American". US-ican or United States-ican doesn't quite roll off the tongue.
Mexico actually refers to themselves as the United States of Mexico. Fun fact…
Shame you can't manually input a location (not only for privacy, but for tourists and visitors who might want to plan ahead)
On OsmAnd, go to configure map and enable Wikipedia. All articles with location are visible.
I love OsmAnd so I purchased the OsmAnd+, I highly recommend
This is how you can get offline Wikipedia articles for OSM. Great when traveling.
You can, for example, read articles about things you pass in a plane, train, auto, or bike. Without internet.
Do you mind to elaborate?
Because the post is for Wikipedia website, which is online
In OsmAnd you can download map data for use offline. In the same download page for thr map data there's also a download for Wikipedia data.
Download data is per country, so someone just bundled all the articles that have GPS coordinates withing the bounds of each country, and you can download all those articles for offline use in the OsmAnd app.
Thank you very much.
The place where I live
The lake I visited once
Two churches
A 14th century battle
A museum
A concentration camp
It's not too great a puzzle, as you're having your nations flag in your user name, but...
Kaunas?
Kaunas would have way more stuff around. :)
I live in a middle of historically significant nowhere.
