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".

Is there another map showing territories like Puerto Rico and Guam? I would like to see how they compare

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately, we can only speculate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Well to be fair, this only includes states and states in the title. Sorry.

In Michigan Upper Peninsula, Canada, the people per capita is 0, since nobody lives in Canada, obviously.

Can’t divide by zero though

I'd data, but I wouldn't datum.

As sure as eggs is eggs

One is his name. The other is not.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Apologies, can you color code the states so that it's easier to read?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Massachusetts appears to have 2 per capita

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The 1 on the right is clearly a label for the Atlantic Ocean though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The state of Nantucket?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

How did you manage to not fit a 1 in West Virginia, lmao.

You took advantage of a poor elderly man who had just woken up and made him stare at a map in confusion for at least a minute trying to figure out where exactly his state ranked.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I got you, it's 1.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

These numbers are hard to believe. I'm going to need where you derived these numbers from if you're going to claim such wild numbers as these.

MN and TX are incorrect, they both have one resident with two heads.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hmm, now you've got me wondering about conjoined twin law. Presumably, they still count as two individuals, but that's about all I'm sure of.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How do they vote? I mean can you bring a person into the booth with you? You can't where I live.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Mail-in voting I guess (in states that allow it)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Man, imagine being the poll worker that has to turn them away because they can't physically cut themselves apart.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Do they buy one flight ticket or two? Assuming more or less a single body with 2 heads. What if they have a little more than a single body along with the 2 heads? What about tax, do they have to pay for 2 people or 1? Are they charged double in a buffet, assuming 1 stomach?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

ah, yes, of course

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Ah nice, a Pro Choice Meme.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Waiting for fox news and Trump to blame immigrants for these results

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Back in the day, some states would have less than one.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

We’re #1!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Shouldn't it be 1,000? Or have a "numbers listed in thousands" legend?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

~~"Per capita" means per thousand people~~

Whoops I'm wrong it just means per person! I guess I've seen it so commonly used in the per thousand way

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I too thought per capita was per 1,000. Is this the Mandela effect?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Looking into it a bit, it seems like it's just a fairly common misuse of the term.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Capita child from Latin, mens head. So this must be rounded, right? Or are there no Siamese twins in the USA?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

50 people live in the United States, truly a population powerhouse
