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".

Idaho should be dark red. You should never give bullies that much fuel.

[–] overcast5348@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

You got a problem with my boy Duncan Idaho?

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe if you just name her Idah?

[–] cmac@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I assume North and South Carolina are green because you can name your kid just "Carolina", so why is only one of the Washingtons green if we're allowed to use partial names?

Edit: Also Columbia is a name

[–] cryptiod137@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Same as the Dakotas I presume

[–] eltrain123@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

DC isn’t a state… maybe?

[–] cmac@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's not, but they gave it a rating.

[–] WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm guessing cause they're using the District of Columbia part and maybe didn't think about chopping off the District part like with the North and South parts.

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Wait why is Nevada green.

Who is named Nevada

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, it is acceptable to name your child South Carolina.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Need to do a version of this with car brands.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

This is Tennessee Williams erasure!

[–] grandkaiser@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Literally considering naming my incoming daughter Rhoda (of Rhodes) I think it's a fine name. Also shares a name with a girl in classic literature.

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I would love it if I could read this map, but I'm kinda colorblind. And also an idiot.

[–] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel like you could get away with Minnesota.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

I feel like you could get away with Rhode or Delaware.

[–] bibliotectress@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Also Illinois under "Somewhat unacceptable"

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

100%. I lost my enchroma's a few years ago and earlier today I was thinking about buying another pair. I wonder if this would be any more readable with them.

Many years ago my optometrist said that wearing a single ruby contact would help me by making reds and greens appear different between each eye. Maybe I should give it a shot on unreadable images like this.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Would that make one eye ruby red? That would look cool as fuck.

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Come on, now. Ain't the author heard of Alabama Whurly? She tastes like peach.

[–] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, “Alaska” is kind of a nice name too

Also Idaho lol

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Having a kid call themselves a Ho is mean

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but every time someone says your name they're calling themselves a ho

Why you gotta do my boy Johnny Utah like that?

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To be fair it’s his last name, and also like his agent name, right? But I do think Utah as a first name is SICK. But I’m from there sooo… lol

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Afaik it was his real name. Brody recognized him from his college football star days.

[–] Kolrami@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Whoever made this isn't a fan of Good Times.

Sometimes when I say Florida, I think of this Family Guy cutaway https://youtu.be/G3Z_3DPS-gc

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some of these have no business being dark green. North Carolina? That's not a person name

[–] Taako_Tuesday@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

I think they're lopping off the norths and souths. Dakota's a great name, South Dakota is terrible

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you name your daughter after a state or city, she will pay for school by dancing.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Stage names are typically made up. That dancer you like named after a city is probably actually a Jennifer or an Amanda.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Fun note: Miranda is Latin for good lookin' and Amanda is Latin for good lovin'.
