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.

Alaska should have the most by far, I'm not sure this is an accurate count.

"Both states were not included in the larger dataset. Number of watefalls is likely higher than depicted." in reference to Alaska and Hawaii. It might not have been super visible to some people.

Yeah I didn't see that.

As a geography nerd I don't think we have the capabilities to actually count every single waterfall in Alaska. Alaska is still true wilderness and it is massive

That's what I thought as well, but do keep in mind that a pretty large chunk of it is just flat, frozen tundra.
