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".

I am sure some US hardliners see the map and wonder how is this country still independent.
These positions are not defensible from military perspective.
C'mon, it even looks like a rifle
Who would be insane enough to invade a country, that already looks like a weapon?
Careful how you phrase that, I heard a militia of collectors is forming to capture the biggest depiction of a gun in the world
Trump did call Trudeau governor of the great state of Canada yesterday and suggested it should become the 51st state a ~week ago
dude is too stupid to understand why he should not do it.
until i hear some GOP chaney and kissegeer types, i aint worried.
Yeah, I'm not worried about imminent invasion either. A trade war will already basically cause chaos, though, and it could escalate from there. Hopefully the government is up to the task.
The War of 1812 disagrees.
That took place entirely in the Great Lakes area. The other bit was still very, very Native.
Also, we like to take credit for that, but that was basically the British Empire fighting for one of it's colonies, and IIRC most of the British soldiers involved were not from here.
No, we're going back to the North Atlantic triangle days if the US goes funny like it appears to be going.
Touche but US capabilities are now that of a global empire, all of Canada is within few hundred mile from US border and its core literally cuts into the US while power disparity is wider than Ukraine/Russia.
Nobody who knows much seriously thinks we'd win a conventional war. We could slap together nukes pretty quickly, but we'd probably rather just get annexed. Our defences are all diplomatic.
