A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

My uncle in rural Italy received a postcard with “house with trees in front yard - Town postcode”. I now live in a region that is sparsely populated and a lot of addresses in the countryside are just the name of the farm. Sometimes even buildings in the city have their own name. (I have no idea how people managed before the internet…)
If postal workers can deliver mail, usually they will try. Overall, people tend to care about their jobs (if its not shit)
People managed just fine, the human mind is more impressive than most people realise. When knowledge isn't stored outside of your mind, your brain is a lot less lazy in retaining it.
That I can imagine, but how do you find a new farm with nothing to go on but the name?
new farm - village name
Probably ask a local, learn the area. Pretty feasible even if you get rotated around multiple areas.
It’d be along your route, and even if you didn’t know the people you’d still probably see them there occasionally enough to piece it together
