The only thing as ubiquitous as love letters are break up letters. Now it's even easier to break up with your city, using real data from the U.S. Census.
"Using real data from the US Census Bureau's 2013 American Community Survey to make fake arguments," is the only explanation needed on this auto-text generator by Darius Kaemi.
All you do is generate a letter, and presto, a break up letter filled with real data from the U.S. Census Bureau and fake arguments.
So, for instance, when I want to break up with Oklahoma City (a place I've never been, so no offense intended), I can present phrases like:
Did you know that 0.06% of people speak Japanese in this town? And did you know that there are 7,985 people with a Professional degree? Can you believe it? And according to the 2013 American Community Survey conducted by the US Census Bureau, there are 23,886 people with a Master's degree in this town. This was cool when I was 20, but I'm trying to start a family now!
