What did the labels say before you blurred them to the point of non-readability?

Rules:
Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.
We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

Ah thanks! I didn't know where to find the original meme from the Tumblr post that I had snipped from my friend's Instagram story and then uploaded to imgur so I could post it on Lemmy.
No ifunny or 9gag? It's like you're not even trying.
Oh those are my next 2 stops before LinkedIn an Slack.
Reddit doesn’t let me use it anymore because I use a vpn. Anyone got a direct link?
Finally, a decent fucking post
Red is elephant regularly used for at least serval years. Yellow is a one off or in small numbers only.
War elephants not deployed...yet
at least for at least!
I'm not saying that JPEG wasn't lacking in memes before, but it certainly does feel like the great and magical Webm and Webp have exasperated the issue.
Grey as a mouse,
Big as a house,
Nose like a snake,
I make the earth shake,
As I tramp through the grass;
Trees crack as I pass.
With horns in my mouth
I walk in the South,
Flapping big ears.
Beyond count of years
I stump round and round,
Never lie on the ground,
Not even to die.
Oliphaunt am I,
Biggest of all,
Huge, old, and tall.
If ever you'd meet me
You wouldn't forget me.
If you never do,
You won't think I'm true;
But old Oliphaunt am I,
And I never lie.
A good time to go to the pub, have a point, and Wait for this to all blow over.
This map isn't accurate, for example elephants where used in an attack on Saudi Arabia (mecca) by aksumites, the same guys who invaded the southern bit of the Arabian peninsula
Careful pal, I'm a mod who rules this map meme sub with an iron fist. Watch what you say or you're going to map jail, for map crimes. 😡
There are two accounts of Greek historians describing the usage of war elephants in Britain by the Roman empire. Cassius Dio says that Claudius used them in 43 CE, and Polyaenus says that Julius Caesar did in 54 BCE. These accounts are both very brief and have not been backed uo by any physical evidence or other accounts of the same situation. Not even Caesar, a prolific author himself, says that he used elephants in Britain
It would be fucking wild if it did happen though. That elephant would have travelled farther than nearly any human alive at the time
