A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

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".

Idaho should be dark red. You should never give bullies that much fuel.

You got a problem with my boy Duncan Idaho?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Maybe if you just name her Idah?

I assume North and South Carolina are green because you can name your kid just "Carolina", so why is only one of the Washingtons green if we're allowed to use partial names?

Edit: Also Columbia is a name

[–] eltrain123 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

DC isn’t a state… maybe?

[–] cmac 20 points 4 months ago

It's not, but they gave it a rating.

[–] WarlordSdocy 5 points 4 months ago

I'm guessing cause they're using the District of Columbia part and maybe didn't think about chopping off the District part like with the North and South parts.

[–] cryptiod137 4 points 4 months ago

Same as the Dakotas I presume

I would love it if I could read this map, but I'm kinda colorblind. And also an idiot.

Also Illinois under "Somewhat unacceptable"

[–] PugJesus 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I feel like you could get away with Minnesota.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I feel like you could get away with Rhode or Delaware.

100%. I lost my enchroma's a few years ago and earlier today I was thinking about buying another pair. I wonder if this would be any more readable with them.

Many years ago my optometrist said that wearing a single ruby contact would help me by making reds and greens appear different between each eye. Maybe I should give it a shot on unreadable images like this.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Would that make one eye ruby red? That would look cool as fuck.

[–] friend_of_satan 3 points 4 months ago

I'll take your word for it.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear 1 points 4 months ago

There are a couple apps that supposedly help, like Color Blind Pal. Have you tried those?

[–] Wilzax 18 points 4 months ago

Wait why is Nevada green.

Who is named Nevada

[–] Anticorp 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why you gotta do my boy Johnny Utah like that?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

To be fair it’s his last name, and also like his agent name, right? But I do think Utah as a first name is SICK. But I’m from there sooo… lol

[–] Anticorp 3 points 4 months ago

Afaik it was his real name. Brody recognized him from his college football star days.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Yes, it is acceptable to name your child South Carolina.

If you name your daughter after a state or city, she will pay for school by dancing.

[–] morphballganon 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Stage names are typically made up. That dancer you like named after a city is probably actually a Jennifer or an Amanda.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Fun note: Miranda is Latin for good lookin' and Amanda is Latin for good lovin'.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

As a joke, you're damn right lol.

In reality, back when I was bouncing strip clubs, it was car names that ended up grinding a pole. Mercedes in particular. Knew three different strippers named Mercedes, only ever met one with a state name that wasn't a last name.

One Porsche, one Ferrari.

But the rest had pretty typical names, rather than being named after something. You'd run into names from languages other than English being placed on ladies that couldn't speak them for sure. But nothing too weird.

Also, in the joints I worked at, ladies working through school was more common than I expected, but far from being as many as you'd hear telling customers they were.

This one place, a nicer joint, there was a lady that was doing a master's in psychology, and she ended up kinda recruiting three other ladies from the same school that worked there for a while. And one of those got two of her friends jobs there, one as a dancer, the other behind the bar.

[–] RagingRobot 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Some of these have no business being dark green. North Carolina? That's not a person name

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

I think they're lopping off the norths and souths. Dakota's a great name, South Dakota is terrible

[–] Orbituary 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Come on, now. Ain't the author heard of Alabama Whurly? She tastes like peach.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, “Alaska” is kind of a nice name too

Also Idaho lol

[–] ChicoSuave 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Having a kid call themselves a Ho is mean

[–] Nastybutler 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, but every time someone says your name they're calling themselves a ho

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Need to do a version of this with car brands.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I think Texas is going to make a comeback

[–] Vytle 4 points 4 months ago

I really feel like Colorado and Maine should not be grouped in with California and Idaho

[–] _stranger_ 4 points 4 months ago

Texas cities as first and middle names are pretty popular

[–] Kolrami 4 points 4 months ago

Whoever made this isn't a fan of Good Times.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Allowing middle names opens up the field a lot.

“Russel Alabama” isnt too bad

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

This is Tennessee Williams erasure!

[–] grandkaiser 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Literally considering naming my incoming daughter Rhoda (of Rhodes) I think it's a fine name. Also shares a name with a girl in classic literature.
