Programmers fallacies about postcodes:
- A postcode covers a small geographic area
- A postcode is good enough to locate an end user for generating location suggestions
- A postcode will be in a single timezone
- A postcode only has a single state
- A postcode has no exclaves/enclaves

I would like you to meet 0872. Australia's largest postcode (I think), covers 3 states, has two cut outs (Warbuton and Alice Springs), and even still some mail outside of this area is routed via 0872

@xssfox you should look up postcode 7151 - covers 2 continents!

@jpm @xssfox came here for this post code, not disappointed!

7151 is my postcode of choice when asked at places like museums, tourist attractions, and so on.

I really like to screw with their demographics: 2% of 7151's population has visited a lot of museums.

@BernardSheppard @jpm @xssfox

I think we should all try using 9999 as our postcode in the future.

@SuperMoosie @BernardSheppard @jpm @xssfox I vaguely recall that the Canadian postcode for the North Pole is H0H 0H0...
