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".

North Scotland must be where people go to sober up.

There's seems to be a mistake: The northern portion of Éire, also known as Ireland, is erroneously included in this chart of UK pubs. Please fix this.

Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed. Fixed it.

Ireland is not a lake. Please fix this

The Isle of Skye is bleak.

Several hotel bars on Skye are effectively pubs.

That's a relief!

Looking at that blue line, OOP solved the traveling Irishman problem.

This is missing a few, there's more than that in the rural regions of Scotland.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, this map comes up on the Web periodically and we Scots point out that it's lacking (a lot) in Scotland.

Bleeding English erasing Scottish pub culture smh /s

Well done lads.

I recently visited one in Belfast.

You're missing a few. Also, some of those have closed. Because of these discrepancies this map is literally unusable.

It'll be interesting to remove the Red Lion and see the difference

damn bro the night life really is dying. Barely any pubs nowadays.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Why so empty on the northern part? Non British here.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The people who lived there were forcibly relocated to the colonies because the lairds worked out that it was more profitable to use the land for sheep than peasants.

Nope, incomplete. Here's one at the tip of that peninsula-looking island that's left bare (Skye).

I'm curious now it there actually is a spot in the Hebrides or Highlands where you can be more than a day's walk from a pub.

What’s the deal with the hole in the cloud of pins near the England / Scotland border?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

it's actually one Big Super Pub that fills up the whole of Northumberland

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Looks like it might be the North Pennines, which is basically a national park
