Bro can someone just tell us how to do location not given and not something fake
this is a suggestion, Scratch doesn't have it yet

Bro not all humans are meaty

Our muscles are structurally similar to cow muscles (steak)- what do you mean? We're literally walking sacks of mostly meat and water.

That aside, this could be useful for people who want to hide their location. I don't know why this hasn't been an option from the beginning- it used to be possible to set your location to that using some client-side JavaScript (that no longer works because they now verify locations server-side), and it's better than Antarctica.

True it is better than Antarctica I agree

I could swear my fake location has been mistaken for a real one at some point

I don't get why it was removed, it would make more sense for them to make it an actual option.
It was possibly even an easier alternative to fixing the bug

even if they wanted everyone to have a country for the statistics I assume a large portion of users have a fake country anyways, so adding location not given could actually increase its accuracy

it's a bug… when a location gets removed from the location choices option
you can't just set it

The list isn't changed since it uses a standard list, and that's not actually what the bug was. If that person is referring to old posts, there was once a bug that allowed you to get location not given, but it was caused by an inspect element trick, not a location being removed from the list.
