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.

Community Guidelines

Direct Image Links Only Only direct links to .png, .jpg, and .jpeg image formats are permitted.
Educational Infographics Only Infographics must aim to educate and inform with structured content. Purely narrative or non-informative infographics may be removed.
Serious Guides Only Nonserious or comedy-based guides will be removed.
No Harmful Content Guides promoting dangerous or harmful activities/materials will be removed. This includes content intended to cause harm to others.

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

In a thousand years ... they'll just refer to this period as an extension of our Dark Ages, the period where humanity evolved from prehistoric hunter gatherers to a technological species ... we don't think or act any differently than our ancestors a few hundred years ago ... the only difference is that we have satellites, internet memes and nuclear weapons

I meant that that entire date range is marked as Generation Beta. Looks like it was supposed to be 2026 instead of 1926.

Got it .... Nice find ... didn't even notice until you pointed it out

But your original comment just made me think that we look at the immediate generations next to us on a hundred year timeline ... it's very important to us because we're living it right now. But in a few hundred years, they won't look at the different generations, they'll examine entire periods.

It would be like a Roman from the year 100 arguing about the generation from 10BC to 10AD and how much different they are from those born in 20 AD

The differences are obvious to us now .... but they won't matter to a historian looking at larger periods of time in a thousand years.

What a September 2023 comment 😒. Seriously though, that's a neat way to think about it and I agree
