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".

Europe colonized by Europe

I didn't move from Poland to Denmark for Poland to follow me here.

(In honesty, I'm kidding, I miss my country very much)

I think you just upset everyone in Europe 😂

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Iceland is probably fine with it.

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

And maybe Ireland? Or it'll kick off The Troubles again

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nah we'll take this with both hands, just speeding up the timeline. I have always want to see Germany too and now its closer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, I'd be on board with being closer to Ireland too. I'd take some cheese and whiskey, what do you want in return? You can pop over for some traditional Swabian dumplings (Maultaschen) too, if you'll invite me for something of your own make - I confess I'm not too familiar with typical Irish food, but I did have one banger Shepherd's Pie at an "Irish Pub" around here once. I'm up for whatever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I mean the sex clubs and general night life lunacy is a fair trade for some pie.

Irish Stew is where its at, colcannon, bacon and cabbage.

double whammy for turkey, half of istanbul is gone, and the rest of us aren't even included in europe.

I've looked and looked, but I don't see who you're talking about.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

You guys need to click the link and read the names of the countries in detail.

I don't even know exactly why the placement is so funny. Germany. Poland. It's a good joke even without the details, but with the details it is truly wonderful.

If you click the story title, you'll see a higher-res version of the same map as you see in the image. At least, that's how it is for me.

Why is Poland 2 squares wide. Unfair

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Jesus Christ, what did you do to Iceland???

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure this is how you get a 'the troubles'

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Swede here, excuse me!? Give it back!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Guess I live in Lichtenstein now.

All hail the king/prince or whatever

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

It worked for the USA map, this one not so much

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

Oh my God what are you doing step Lichtenstein, I hadn't notice how big you'd gotten.

Also, Serbia's in trouble

This isn't organized at all

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I am now Belgian... As a Norwegian we ended up with the northern wastelans. But at least Sweden really got fucked. Now if Denmark got just as fucked I could get behind this

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Lol, I see Crete is not part of Greece or even Europe anymore

They drifted so far south that's its now part of Egypt(?)

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

Ah I think this is a “metric” map of Europe. I thought Europeans were all about the metric system?!

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

Will I have to move according to my nationality or change my nationality?

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

I love how Ireland is Ireland.

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

I suggest relocating the Greeks to Iceland and the Icelanders to Greece.

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

Actual physical pain. 🫨😵‍💫

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
