Where are you getting this impression? I’ve never gotten any sense that anyone outside the city is “expected” to know its geography. “Expected” how?
Also there are only 5 boroughs

Any concept this was ever a thing will be buried beneath the sands of time within your lifetime. You, too, will forget it completely. Nobody will ever think it peculiar because nobody will ever think of it at all.
it’s also not that weird
can it? Sure, most any arrangement of bits can be converted into some kind of Unicode text. Can it be converted to something meaningful or readable? No, some formats are plain text (.txt, .ini, .json, .html for some random examples) that are meant to be read by humans, and others are binary formats that are only meaningful when decoded by a computer into specific data structures inside a piece of software.

I’m sure some parents use it as a substitute to avoid saying “son of a bitch” in front of their kids, if that helps
Sure, I mean pretty much by definition. What does that have to do with your question?
Are you under the impression that they don’t?
Well, yeah. That’s not really in the same category or ever really disputed
No, that’s my evidence that it wasn’t ubiquitous and typical.
Maybe not just your social circle, but social-circle-specific.
No, this was just your social circle. I know literally zero people who ever bought into any of that crap
Other than the vague “big bad gubbmint thinks you’re too stupid for their SECRETS” vibe, I almost find this old school X-Files type insanity sort of adorable. They don’t wanna hurt people, they just want a more interesting world
From England straight to Louisiana is quite a leap
It’s actually the comptroller, but only if he attacks en passant
Isn’t it 15 degrees every day in San Francisco
The heat in the Earth’s mantle and core comes from the gravitational potential energy of the original stellar dust clouds the Earth originally accreted from. So, geothermal energy mostly isn’t. And there’s also evidence that a few natural uranium deposits have undergone natural nuclear fission chain reactions. That one’s a pretty negligible amount, though. Other than that, no, it all traces back to the sun.
Yes, your aunt has (probably) signed up for what’s essentially a scam. This is their whole business model, they know timeshares sound better than they end up being, so they intentionally trick people into signing contracts that are very difficult to get out of, so they can’t just dump it the moment they realize they don’t want it anymore.
Like others have mentioned, there are various options (donations/sponsorships/grants) that larger projects will generally have some of, but for smaller projects (99% of what’s out there, by project count if not usage), the answer is simply “it isn’t.” It’s done as a hobby, as a resume booster, or with the hope of eventually becoming big enough to hit one of those revenue streams.
Sorta. I mean everyone expects there to be actual pumpkin, but that’d be gross. It’s just all the stuff you add to the pumpkin in a pie to make it delicious
I mean, it’s basically just cinnamon, cardamom, and clove. Yeah, it’s great. One of those “ruined by its fans” things
Yeah, which nobody would “expect” you to if you’re not from there
