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".

This is the perspective from inside the Earth

This makes my brain itch lol
Wait a minute. Colorado is backwards dummy
Nebraska too. WTF?
Edit: No, no. Do not upvote. I have confused Nebraska with Wyoming so this joke is invalid. Plus it wasn't so much a joke as it was ruining the joke I responded to.
As a native Nebraskan, confusing us with Wyoming is probably the funniest thing you could’ve done here
From now on I will remember that Nebraska has a handy tab on one side, to make it easier to peel I guess.
folks call that a “panhandle”
I like "handy tab" better.
Just for that I'm gonna upvote you even harder
Why do Texas, Florida, and California have the same slant and why did I never notice before?
It's the way the wingle dingle dangles.
Is it also stretched? It feels like it's stretched but I don't think.it is... help
Nope! Just tried mirroring it, and it looks normal.
Thanks for straightening that out
Thanks, I hate it.
I never noticed how big our butt was before....
Map from underground.
How China sees us
ASU is a WHALE!
A whale in a cat:
Oh wow. Cannot unsee.
It's a map of the AƧU
Ah yes, the American States of Unity.
This must be what it's like to see your reflection for the first time. Is the continental US really that lopsided?
I would have read it as the American State Union, but I like yours better
Thanks. I always though the "United" part of the USA was aspirational from the start (we're still working on it), so I went with "Unity" for the same reason.
Then again, a Bizarro USA wouldn't have to advertise that part so loudly, so your matter-of-fact "Union" kinda fits too.
This image is making me a little dizzy. It's really disorienting, but in a fun kinda way.
Thanks, I hate it

The east coast is the beast coast!
The east coast is the left coast and viceversa!
Good to see things from another perspective sometimes. Really opens your eyes. I don't know what I'm seeing, but my eyes are opened.
The shortened name of USA in romanian is SUA
Is there any language that uses ASU as the name?
It's EUA in french (États-Unis d'Amérique)
I'm gonna puke
Huh, the inverted East Coast has a certain resemblance to the Austrian borders
Alabama State University!
GO HORNETS!!!
You can still delete this
...before it's too late WAKE UP SHEEPLE geez...
You know, if you flip the map around but leave the cities in the same place, only shuffled around a little bit to accommodate the new coastline, you could kind of squeeze Washington DC up a little (okay a lot) and get it inside of Washington State).
No.
This is backwards.
