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".

What was a dream? That is a map of the US, as it has always been? Everything ok there?

What's an Ohio? That the name of a city or smth?

If so, ofc it's missing. This map only has capital cities and 5 random ones for some reason. Doesn't even have Chicago or NYC.

[–] T00l_shed 9 points 2 weeks ago

Right, of course they aren't going to show all the minor cities.

The five "random" cities are the ones located in the former state of Ohio. Three of them approximate the NE, SW, and NW borders. Columbus marks the middle.

Former state of Ohio? There was a state called Ohio once? Tf are you talking about man.

Okay, but if Michigan gets the Toledo Strip back, Wisconsin gets the Upper Peninsula back, too.

Fine, but we get to keep the bridge and mackinaw island. Can't take away our strategic fudge supply.

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

So y'all'll handle all maintenance and upkeep of the bridge? Deal

While we are changing borders, can we give Illinois a small bit of border with Michigan? It would be nice to go east from Chicago without ever crossing into Indiana.

If you want Gary I'm pretty sure Indiana will give it up voluntarily.

On behalf of the Indiana delegation: approved

Seems kinda unfair Kentucky doesn't get a panhandle granting her lake access.

[–] WordBox 8 points 2 weeks ago

Time for a special operation?

[–] Lennny 3 points 2 weeks ago

The price of having access to all that bourbon. Some people have lake access, others have pappy access.

Toledo is Michigans problem now? Sweet.

Cleveland can fuck off my state is already trash enough

edit: Vincenza's Pizza can come move to Philly tho they're cool

Well, like the state's motto says, "Unfortunately, Ohio".

“Eh, oh, where’d you go Ohio?”

Lake Michigan looks even more like a dong than usual

Give the western reserve back to Connecticut!

Always has been

Who did Ohio invade to get tag teamed and broken up like this?

[–] edgemaster72 2 points 2 weeks ago

Who gets naming rights for the river? I think Cincinnati River sounds alright.
