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'd be interested to see the alcoholism rates over history compared to the US. That's a lot of pubs, but I have a feeling the rates are lower there.
Found a random graph that might tell part of the story. I've always heard that people drink more heavily in Europe than the US.
What happened in the 80s?
The cocaine was amazing.
Maybe just more health awareness? I bet that's when smoking started dropping off too.
MADD was founded, so maybe that had something to do with it? But that was in the US, Canada, and Brazil, so I'm not sure what Europe's deal was, unless they just decided that those in the other side of the pond were onto something.
The massive increase in cocaine usage could have also been a factor. But it's commonly paired with alcohol so I don't know how much coke usage would affect alcohol consumption, if at all. But maybe enough people thought that it was good enough to use on its own that they felt the need to drink less. But this is all speculation and again I don't know if any of this applies to Europe, given that the CIA was responsible for helping make the drug be so widely available in the US back then.
I'm doing my part!
