16 miles right now.
Over 10,000km. This is home, it's where my kids were born and are growing up. But there's also "back home", where I spent more than half of my life, where I met my wife, and where both our families are other than the two of us and our children.
About 30 miles, couple towns over. We moved away when I was 5, and back to roughly where I live now when I was 9. I consider my current city to be much more my home than my spawn point. Spawn point is in a pretty boring red county.
~2250 miles
Visiting the area feels like going home. I don't belong in my current location and i hate it here.
A few hours. For me home is always a few things: my current residence, the place I grew up, and any place I slept last night that I'll sleep again tonight.
They don't all mean the same thing, but let's go home could mean any of those.
So many location based questions here lately. Little sus ngl
Hard to say, as my "spawn point," was decommissioned a few years ago, and is currently being dismantled. I suspect the medical deck is long gone from the ship.
"Home" has, for me, always referred to where I currently live.
About 6k km, vertically. Basically went from the middle of the planet to the tip.
So... Born on a submarine?

I'm more than a thousand miles away and it never felt like home. The few times I've been back reinforced my decision to leave.
Right now I’m 9.8 miles away. Looking up how far away from it I live…looks like 10 miles. So now I’m wondering if I just spend my life rotating in a 10 miles away radius from my spawn point.
I live about 100km from my hometown. It's where I was born and I lived there on and off for about half my life but I no longer think of it as home.
285 miles, 459 km. But no, absolutely not. My home town is where I grew up, not where I was born.
Looks like 1126 miles. I had to guess the hospital, though. It was never home. Probably left within days never to return.
Other than that, lived my whole life within a 12 mile diameter except when I was in the Army and a 5 year stint in DC.
About 120 miles. I am still familiar with the town, I've been back several times, but it's not my home. I've lived in the city I live in now for a little over 30 years.
About 30 miles. I guess I'd consider it local, but I've never considered that specific town home.
A bit over 1200 miles. Haven't been to Texas since before i could read, once got close enough in Oklahoma to seat the GIANT WALL OF HEAT to the south and promptly said fuck that. No desire to ever be there.
~230 kilometers. I'm home now. That's not home. Left there at age 13.
2307.9 miles. Don't remember Northern California at all.
About 1000.
About 1000.
Lightyears? 👽
2208 km, moved when I was in my early 20s. Still have friends and family there so I visit occasionally, but I have no desire to move back.
I am 9.4km away from where I was born, in a different city, and I don't consider where I was born my home.
