I'm in Davis proper, but that zip code put us both outside, so now it looks like I live in farm fields. That's okay. At least I know someone else is in Davis with me.

That's okay. At least I know someone else is in Davis with me. I'm sure it's just dropping you in the calculated geographic center of the zip code. Even as small as mine is, it's not particularly close to where I live, but I think it's the center, looking at a zip code map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miffy495 Posted January 15, 2015 As of right now, the closest Thumb to me would be Dewar, but I have to cross the border to get to them. I know we've got some BC thumbs. Represent, Canada. There are more than 4 of us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nappi Posted January 15, 2015 Since this has turned into a bug reporting thread: For some reason my marker didn't quite end up in the right city. Pretty close, though! Not sure whether I used a wrong zip code (I don't think I did) or if it's some sort of bug. Well anyway, at least the text is right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gwardinen Posted January 15, 2015 Hey, Apple Cider, you live where those Red Letter Media people live! They are always making jokes about it being the centre of nothingness in the universe. Is this accurate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are always making jokes about it being the centre of nothingness in the universe. Is this accurate? Well, that's somewhat of a hyperbolic joke! Lake Michigan used to be a huge shipping lane and therefore, Milwaukee and other larger towns (not cities) along the lake grew up over time as industrial production centers. There's also the capital of Madison, which boasts UW-Madison as well as the State house/senate. The west and extreme north ends, yes, are incredibly rural, though, and comprised predominantly of farmland. We also are the third largest producer of cranberries! Edit: Funny story, I've grew up and lived most of my life in NY state. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badfinger Posted January 16, 2015 I have always heard very nice things about Madison. I'll not say anything about the rest of 'sconsin. This map continues to be amazingly awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwardinen Posted January 16, 2015 Hmm, my marker seems to have disappeared from Manchester, UK. Either that or Griddlelol's has devoured mine and gained its power. Plz hlep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

undermind9 Posted January 16, 2015 Gwardinen - i moved your marker to a nearby postal code to get out from underneath Griddle Tycho - ya, i just sorted the database by country which should make it a little less jumpy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted January 16, 2015 I kinda dug the jumping, it was like a thumbsplosion was shaking out the thumbs from their cracks all over the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
