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".

Found it funny but to be fair same goes for many europeans who have been to North America. Probably max two states in US, rarely someone who has visited Canada, etc.

You could totally make an American version of that meme (I assume it would probably consist of California, Florida, and New York).

Maybe add Vegas. Not Nevada, just the one city.

Well I mean, Nevada is Vegas, Reno and nuclear test craters.

I used to live nearby, and I had to look up what's in Nevada besides Vegas and Reno. Is there something happening in... uh... Winnemucca that I never heard about?

Also, an American version of this meme would include DC.

I stayed in Elko Nevada for a while once. The transmission blew on my Lincoln while I was driving cross country. They didn't have someone who could rebuild it, so we had to wait for a new transmission to be shipped to the dealer. Iirc, its claim to fame is that it's the largest city in Nevada with a brothel. So, there's that...

Oh yeah... I had a friend who worked in Elko for a while... they only stayed a year. Didn't speak bad of it, but didn't have much to say about it either.

That about sums up my experience too.

We go to Florida only to see if the "Florida man" from the news is real.

Because you haven't seen the US until you visit Goshen Hole
