42% of Colorado has lost their damn mind.

neomis,

If you are east of the front range cities it pretty much is the Midwest. That makes up about 42% of the state. Seems accurate to me.

But no one in Fort Collins to Denver to CO Springs to Pueblo (almost the entire population of the state) would ever say they’re in the Midwest. Those cities basically start the West.

Ok Colorado and Wyoming thinking they’re Midwest is new to me. As is Ohioans thinking we arent

wild,

Coloradan here. We don’t. I’m very suspicious of this data.

The eastern third of CO is all plains and definitely feels like the Midwest, but hardly anyone lives there.

PraiseTheSoup,

Yep, and it’s really obvious if you’ve driven into the state from the east. You find yourself wondering when you’re gonna get to Colorado and realize you’ve been driving in it for 3 hours, it just looks exactly the same as the last 10 hours.

The trick is, as soon as you can see the tip of Pikes Peak, you’re in Colorado.

Same thought. No one here thinks it’s the midwest. It’s the west and very apparent. Ghost towns start popping up for attractions, everything’s about the mountains, camping, hiking, skiing/snowboarding.

Frozengyro,

You’ll never get everyone to agree on anything in a poll.

frezik,

In fact, weird outliers are a sign that the numbers weren’t cooked. In polling, you’ll always find a Christian who thinks Jesus isn’t real, an Atheist who thinks the ten commandments should be posted in classrooms, people who think Sonic tastes good, and other equally strange and nonsensical results.

I like how it is cheaper to buy it upfront. Like they can load an extra bag or two full of internet if they know you need it.

runjun, in "Do you live in the Midwest?" by self-report

When I got to Ohio, I was so confused when people called it the Midwest. I was like, have you seen a map.

That's because it is considered part of the Midwest?? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwestern_United_States

runjun,

Not saying it’s inaccurate because of history but wow does it not match modern US geography.

Stovetop,

At least it has “Mid” in the name. Imagine if it was just “West” and everything west of that was the Westwest.

RupeThereItIs,

This is how I, a Michigander, feel about anyone west of the Mississippi claiming the monocer.

That river WAS the beginning of the west, how that could be Midwest is beyond me …

LemmyFeed, in "Do you live in the Midwest?" by self-report

Idaho? Really? That 25% must not know geography at all…

Hegar,

Idaho and Montana I understand - no one one from the Midwest or PNW will claim either, but culturally Midwest is closer.

alignedchaos, in "Do you live in the Midwest?" by self-report

Many in Utah think they’re Midwest too. It’s wild. (In my case their answers to me indicated they didn’t know where the Midwest is, not that they identified with it)

Tinha que ser BR! Kkkkk. Falando nisso, onde acha um desses ? 🕶️

ConstantPain,

Sampa, Perfumaria Princesa. Foi onde comprei.

TheGreenGolem,

Ja woll!

This just in: 10% of Tennesseeans forgot what state they live in.

VikingHippie,

Probably just a coping method you develop from living there 🤷

    A single DuckDuckGo tab seems to be around 800 kB. No idea where you got your number from.

    gtmetrix.com/reports/duckduckgo.com/hawQ7kfD/

    Perfide,

    No, it’s definitely a data cap. For one thing, you’re not getting gigabit internet, let alone giga_byte_, on a plane… but they also list the actual speed for the 20MB cap, a pitiful 64kbps. That’s barely faster than dial-up.

    ScrambleVerdict,

    It was so insane that it was unbelievable I guess lol

    JackDark,

    These amounts in the OP are BS, but 80MB for a single webpage is also not true. The rule of thumb for web development is to shoot for less than 2 MB per web page.

    xigoi,
    @xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    80 MB will hardly load you a single web page.

    The fuck are you browsing?

    sheogorath,

    Some intranet site developed with React + Angular + Vue + jQuery + during development the dev tried a lot of packages but didn’t delete the unused ones + no tree shaking + bundled all of the assets in the page

    Only an airline in the year 2023 can make me nostalgic for the Limewire days. 20MB at 8KB/s
