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

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!

I use 555-1212 as a phone number when I have to sign up for an account and that's a required field.

Anyone remember those jungle paging shacks all over the place? Decked out in white/black zebra stripes

The local one had a jungle paging hummer H1 in full zebra stripes they would park out front... wonder if it's sitting somewhere with that same goofy paint job

What In the world is a jungle paging shack?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

These little tiny stores that sold pagers. They were small almost popup style buildings usually.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I remember this from highschool. I always thought it was stupid; a pager (2 when on call) was something my dad used for work & emergencies. It was hardly what I'd have ever called cool.

Now it makes sense. Back in the day there was a republican proposition in California that was to get rid of migrants. Prop 187!
