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.

Been at a 5 or 6 for as far back as my memory goes with short swings into the 7 or 8 area. For a little while when I was backpacking around and doing whatever the fuck I wanted, it went down to a 3. Which was ... Magical.... Good times. Wistful smile as I stare into the middle distance for a bit too long

Huh, I guess I'm not doing too badly. I've been an 8 in the past but I'd say I bounce around between 2 and 4 most of the time now, with the occasional 5.

Now I wonder what I changed to get here.

Do you remember when it changed?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, no. Maybe it was a gradual thing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah that makes sense

Feels like 4 is the default state of humanity at this point.

I was at 7 and 8 for a long time. Happy to say, i'm now a 3 or 4 most days.

Is this cool? What’s the purpose of this guide? Is it official or scientific or is it just a comic?

The confusion is understandable. Sometimes coolguides and midcomics get some overlap.

The mod posted a much cooler guide below.
