Cartography Anarchy

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 feel like I'm missing a reference with the changing states borders....

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Based on the post title and that the third map shares the same lines and has references to the Fallout series, I'm gonna guess part of the lore of the Fallout series is states becoming consolidated. At least that's the conclusion I came to after wondering the same thing myself.

I think I often say soft drink, but I'm from Canada and off the map.

Really I'm in bc and I've only ever heard pop

Funny seeing the line in Oklahoma. I'm from Tulsa and have always said Coke, but it wasn't odd to hear pop. Soda? Get. Out.

“What will you have to drink dear?”

“A coke.”

“Sure, what kind?”

“Dr Pepper please.”

It wasn’t until I was in a foreign language class in HS that our teacher called out this behavior. They said, if you ask for a “coke” in Europe, you’ll receive a “Coke.” We all thought that was odd.. At least at first.

Bah. I'm from New Hampshire, where it was all called Tonic. Unless it was Moxie.

Arkansas is a tumor on Texas and West Virginia is the northeast's nutsack with a deformity
