This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I don't even pay taxes :( but I'm not a transplant anyway. I think. What's a transplant? Not a native speaker is what I definitely am and all I can think of is organ donations.
I grew up in Florida and 4 years ago I moved my whole life to Oklahoma, hundreds of miles from anyone I knew (aside from my wife who’s a local). That means I’m a transplant.
Oh I see, thank you. Isn't that a very normal thing for US Americans? I'm under the impression that it's very common for people there to move every few years (granted, this impression is influenced by entertainment media).
It isn't uncommon, but the majority of people live in or near the town/city they grew up in. I currently live over 1000 miles (1600km) from where I grew up. https://www.northamerican.com/infographics/where-they-grew-up
