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".

Unfortunately, we can only speculate.
Well to be fair, this only includes states and states in the title. Sorry.
Edit: As stated******
In Michigan Upper Peninsula, Canada, the people per capita is 0, since nobody lives in Canada, obviously.
Can’t divide by zero though
That's quitter talk.
Data is data
are*
I'd data, but I wouldn't datum.
As sure as eggs is eggs
One is his name. The other is not.
Apologies, can you color code the states so that it's easier to read?
Massachusetts appears to have 2 per capita
The state of Nantucket?
The 1 on the right is clearly a label for the Atlantic Ocean though.
This is correct. Massachusetts has 2 heads per capita
How did you manage to not fit a 1 in West Virginia, lmao.
I hate you.
what did I do? 🥺
You took advantage of a poor elderly man who had just woken up and made him stare at a map in confusion for at least a minute trying to figure out where exactly his state ranked.
I got you, it's 1.
These numbers are hard to believe. I'm going to need where you derived these numbers from if you're going to claim such wild numbers as these.
MN and TX are incorrect, they both have one resident with two heads.
Hmm, now you've got me wondering about conjoined twin law. Presumably, they still count as two individuals, but that's about all I'm sure of.
How do they vote? I mean can you bring a person into the booth with you? You can't where I live.
Mail-in voting I guess (in states that allow it)
Man, imagine being the poll worker that has to turn them away because they can't physically cut themselves apart.
Do they buy one flight ticket or two? Assuming more or less a single body with 2 heads. What if they have a little more than a single body along with the 2 heads? What about tax, do they have to pay for 2 people or 1? Are they charged double in a buffet, assuming 1 stomach?
ah, yes, of course
Waiting for fox news and Trump to blame immigrants for these results
Ah nice, a Pro Choice Meme.
On average
We’re #1!
Shouldn't it be 1,000? Or have a "numbers listed in thousands" legend?
Why?
~~"Per capita" means per thousand people~~
Whoops I'm wrong it just means per person! I guess I've seen it so commonly used in the per thousand way
I too thought per capita was per 1,000. Is this the Mandela effect?
Looking into it a bit, it seems like it's just a fairly common misuse of the term.
Back in the day, some states would have less than one.
50 people live in the United States, truly a population powerhouse
Capita child from Latin, mens head. So this must be rounded, right? Or are there no Siamese twins in the USA?
