Everyone has something they can’t stop themselves from nerding out over - but often it’s hard to find people to talk to about it. So go ahead, share your interests, and tell us about them!

The difference between town, zip code, school district, village, hamlet, and city where I live. I pay taxes to town A, by zip code is named after a hamlet in town B, our school district is named after town C. If you ask people where they live they will answer any one of these things.
In my opinion the town you pay taxes to is the best answer. The zip code, or location on your address, is deceptive because they are often named after small hamlets where the post office is. This small hamlet is a very distinct place where you probably don’t actually live. School Districts are often named after the biggest town they pull from so if you are not from that town it’s not really accurate. If you happen to be in a city or village that’s a good answer. However hamlets are so small and local that anyone not from the immediate vicinity will have no idea what you’re taking about if you say you are from there.
This is so true, and while i have never discussed the concept. I definitly adjust my answer based on the recipient.
From the name of the hill my house is on, for locals. Via hamlet,muncipiality, county,region. Up to : “the western part of norway, with the fjords and glaciers”, to forigners. I have never had to go for northern europe, or northern hemisphere. I am looking forward to the day i need “the third planet of the sol system”, that will be an interesting day.
