Hi Where is everyone from? Tell us where and maybe a bit about the place. If you don't know anything about it. Google or look it up on youtube. You might learn something about your own home,lol.
I personally am from Dayton Ohio, U.S.A. If you don't know anything about it or never heard of it. This is where the airplane was invented among many other things. Some people think there is something in our water that causes innovation,lol. Considering on a scale of 1-100 on drinking water quality we rate around 33 (very low) I would say if it does have anything to do with it's because we're getting high off the pollutants.
Here's a short list of inventions from my city you may have heard of.
As mention the airplane. Also a bunch of stuff to do with airplanes I won't mention such as ejection seats and what not. artificial heart artificial kidney backpack parachutes bicycle parking rack card reader cash register chrome plating digital clock filter cigarettes <<----Bad I know. Better than non filter though right? :p football gas mask ice cream cone ice cube tray ink jet printer mood ring nuclear-powered heart pacemaker <<<---Whaaaat. That's kinda cool,lol radar detectors safety glass self-cooled refrigerator space food stepladder two-cycle diesel engine yo-yo
Just to name a very small % of them. I'm currently working on an invention myself, so if it works out and you end up using it. I demand you send me in game resources!! lol. jking. but seriously. Send them.
How bout you? Where are you from? What's unique about it? Even if it's that you have a weird one arm man who plays the sax downtown.

Eh, I live in a village called Haddenham in buckinghamshire england.
Interesting stuff: We've got like 8 pubs , and there's another village called Haddenham about a mile north of Cambrdige, which is where I currently spend most of the year, although its uni accommodation so I don't really live there , it's much more interesting, especially in terms of stuff we invented (first atom was split on the new museum site, which is also where DNA was discovered, and something else happened that I've forgotten, to name a few from just one city block)

im from poland, but i live in a small town banbury in oxfordshire (UK) from past 2 yrs.
nothing special in that town, or maybe i will had to read some history to find something interesting;) water quality i think its still better than in big cites, but cant tell as i dint taste from diff regions. few pub, few clubbings, 50k ppl (source wiki), quite a lot of factories in area.
but i u looking something more intersting, then oxford (15-20 min by rail) is muc more interesting, lot of shops pubs, reastaurant, history, and that kind of stuff.

Kansas City, Missouri. Home of the horrid Chiefs and the even worse Royals.
I'm from Dublin (i must specify the one in Ireland, as apparently, there is one in Ohio(?))
We invented the following: the cordless extention cord, the underwater hairdryer, riding through courthouses on donkeys, red rope liquorice (green was invented by the Japanese), the can opener (two hundred years before the can was invented), stereotypes, santa, the Russian alphabet, tea, bags, teabags, sunny delight, and milk.
Fun fact about my hometown, Tallaght: we have a pub right next to Alcoholics Anonymous!
