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.

Also "associated with religion/church"? I didn't know that about Adelaide and I'm Australian.
Yep- commonly referred to as 'The city of churches'. https://maps.cityofadelaide.com.au/journey/bf1d1188-c13b-11e8-a4a7-024bc0398b11/adelaide-the-city-of-churches
"commonly"?
Yes. Commonly.
It has been noted for its leading examples of religious freedom and progressive political reforms, and became known as the "City of Churches" due to its diversity of faiths.
Asshole to breakfast bro.
But, approximately 28% of the population expressed no religious affiliation in the 2011 Census, compared with the national average of 22.3%, making Adelaide one of Australia's least religious cities.
So, they may not have the Big Banana, they're boring as fuck, but at least your chances of meeting a god botherer are slightly diminished.
Asshole to breakfast bro.
U wot m8?
Is that a saying I'm not familiar with?
Really? Hmm. It's pretty much like 'everywhere' but sometimes used like 'all the time'
Adelaide has churches arsehole to breakfast Everywhere
I've got carpet snakes in my chook shed arsehole to breakfast All the time
I'm not Australian and I didn't know either but I was afraid to ask 😅
Who the fuck calls Ballarat nice?
Where in America is regarded the "mid Atlantic coast"? Because this description implies that it's around New York, but as a non-American, NY looks very northern. I'd have said mid Atlantic is like...North Carolina and Virginia.
The Mid-Atlantic coast is from Virginia up to New York. The term originated with the 13 colonies, where it was one of three primary groupings, alongside New England (Conn, RI, Mass, NH) and the South (Georgia and the Carolinas).
At that time, Mid-Atlantic was being used in the context of the North American continent, rather than the USA, which didn't yet exist. So if you consider the whole Atlantic coast of North America including Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, it makes more sense.
That's going to suck for Australia when over half the country secedes.
Western Australia can have their chunk, they are a bunch of 1970's backwards cunts who can't run their mines without FIFO workers.
And this comes from a Northern Territorian, an underdeveloped minority packed section of the country
We call it 'state of origin'
I'm not sure whether this is actually a cool guide, or how an Australian thinks of US regions. But this map mostly aligns with my impressions of the USA. So, it may well be a pretty good guide.
Implies Canberra is where the politicians live which is false, they are only in Canberra for a few days per year
I wonder if LA is a better comparison to Sydney. Sydney is much too hot to make me think of SF despite bay and nice bridges. On the other hand, I took the ferry a bunch when I lived there. The bay matters.
But beaches! Sydney has famous beaches. LA has famous beaches. SF has beaches too but they don't really come to mind when I think of the bay area.
I dunno. Hard to compare.
I'm not sure rural America and rural Australia are that close.
Even bum fuck nowhere Australia is quite diverse in people and have information about other countries and travel to the big cities fairly regularly. Both seemed to have great friendly people though.
Also the most dangerous sketchy places are in the outback, though some of the towns are fine, whereas in America it seems to be in specific cities or parts of cities, and others are fine.
