(I don't actually have any opinions about Missouri)
People always pick on Missouri, but whenever I've been there, I've always found the locals to be kind and welcoming. It really is true, Missouri loves company.

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".

From Missouri, we have quite the active KKK activity here…sadly
But y'all have Soulard! So it balances out, right? /s
Meanwhile it's the only place I've seen someone stick their head out of a car window and yell at a black person walking down the street to, and I will use their exact phrase as I remember it even 12 years later:
"Go back to monkey Island you stupid dirty niiiiiiiiiig...." And he was silenced by the car driving away before he could finish, but it should be obvious
As a Missourian I wish I could leave too
You can start by changing that demonym to "Missourable". A group of them would be Les Missourables.
I'll commissourate with you, bro
When I say it out loud it sounds like misery to me so no wonder haha
Missouri has two major cities
Sad Springfield noises
No one sober would ever consider Springfield MO or Springfield IL to be anywhere near the word MAJOR city. Both are destitute compared to the actual cities in their states
Oh yeah? Well, would a non-major city host the world's second largest fork?
Not even the website accepts foreigners.
it was bested by a 37-foot-high fork in Oregon in 2022 -- it remains, at 11,000 pounds, the world's heaviest
I'd never heard of this particular Springfield so I looked it up. According to Wikipedia St. Louis is the 22nd largest city by population in the US and Kansas City is 34th. Neither are huge but I think major city applies. Springfield on the other hand ranks 143rd. I'm not even sure most people would consider it a city.
To clarify, that's by metro district. St Louis is 76th by the population inside its city boarders. It's about 100k more than Springfield, MO.
Suburban sprawl sucks.
Woah woah woah. Springfield is definitely a city. It says so right in the logo:
(Real talk, folks. I don't care if anyone considers Springfield a "major city" or even a "city" at all. It's just funny to think of an anthropomorphic caricature of Springfield, Missouri crying over a perceived slight to its ego.)
It's pronounced misery.
I'll be dead in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missouri!
I've heard a similar joke about Mississippi. Mississippi has two major cities: Memphis and New Orleans.
I live in the eastern one, many of us would absolutely love to join Illinois instead of Missouri. We pretty much hate this state
