Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.

Now I want to know the most commonly spoken languages other than English or Spanish.

California having Chinese makes sense. Hella Asian immigrants on this side of the country (because why would you enter from the other side?) and yet... I end up hearing tagalog more than cantonese.
You say that, but Georgia's 3rd most common language is apparently Korean.
(I can confirm there's a huge Korean community in the northeastern suburbs of Atlanta, but I have no idea why they picked here instead of somewhere on the west coast.)
I think the California Chinese connection is, uh, darker, though: indentured/abused laborers for railroads and goldmines.
Why they were here and what they did after is a bit dark but Angel Island is the main entry point for a lot of people immigrating here from the East (it's basically Calofornia's version of Ellis Island) since it's closer than going all the way around the world to enter in NYC. At least, many moons ago. I imagine most fly here now and can end up practically anywhere 🤷♂️
Iowa is the only one I really didn't expect.
Thanks!
That’s a lot of German in middle america,
Notably not in any of the states with the german speaking Amish or Mennonite communities
