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.

Is The Simpsons set in Oregon canon? I know Matt Groening has said that he's from there and a lot of the characters are inspired by his real life family.

I haven't seen The Simpsons in ages since it stopped being good so I don't know if this is a new thing or the OP took some liberties.

Simpsons is specifically not from a specific state. Too many contradictory "clues" to the location. Honestly, I've always thought Massachusetts was the most likely - given the nearby ocean and the parody of the Kennedy family, but I do recall an old Reddit thread that had it worked out to be West Virginia!

Found the old Reddit thread, FWIW.

OP took a ton of liberties.
