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".

I know it's a play on names, but north Madagascar looks pretty horny to me.

Makes sense that Djibouti is one of the horniest places in Africa. But what about Chad?

Given the amount of military bases there and the likely lack of women in them, this is probably accurate.

I always conflated the Horn of Africa with Cape Horn in South America and assumed it was the southernmost tip of Africa. One of today’s 10k, I guess, but it’s pretty obvious now that I think about it, that the actual Horn of Africa might look like a horn (as does Cape Horn)

This post gave me that realization; I'd never really seen something that illustrated what and where it was so I also in my mind thought it was the southern tip of Africa. TIL

That's a common misconception, but it's actually the ear and not a horn. It's just a horse and not a unicorn.

Pretty close but the EAR is the part right above that.

It pales in comparison to the Golden Horn!

Why are you calling the bottom half of a mouth a horn?

So if a dog is born there…
