A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don’t be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

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”.

Is the Gulf Of Mexico being mislabelled part of the joke? Because it isn't very funny.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago

Yes, this is from someone who intentionally makes "terrible maps"

As a mod, when a joke falls flat I have two options.

  1. remove it

  2. let 'em cook.

So to this I say,

"Bake em away toys."

The words "terrible maps" is plastered across the image.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

It is actually very funny.

Only thanks to our flat Earth.

It doesn't even start with O, it's عُمَان

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago

O man, that's crazy!

I hate you. Have my upvote.

Please redirect the energy rays Oman is sending to deadname "Gulf of America" because that's the worst rebrand in the world.

This isn't correct though. The line should go the opposite way.

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The second one goes the right way

[–] Overspark@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

Oman is a pretty dope country though.

Oland, Ormany, Oichland, Ongland, Osterreich... Sounds legit.
