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".

Have a Sicilian family. Can confirm.
don't ask if it's a mafia family don't ask if it's a mafia family don't ask if it's a mafia family
Is it a mafia family?
Oooh, one might say my family is into import and one might say my family is into export
But no. We're not family, sorry.
What's the small region of 3:05 supposed to represent?
Hard to tell exactly but maybe Milan over to Verona and down to Bologna?
Bologna is down in Emilia Romagna, in the 3.20. I live in the region. Can confirm, it's pretty accurate
Veneto/Lombardia: aka Verona, Milan, Padova, Venezia, Torino
I dont understand how a society can function like Southern Italy here. Why not just do the thing when you say you will, and say you will do the thing when you intend to?
Well you see the map is a joke
Even so it must be rooted in some truth exaggerated for humor, right?
There are multiple ways to approach life. Yours is way to serious, that’s why you’re so unhappy
I am am perfectly happy with my life, and events happening as scheduled is not detrimental to that. Quite the opposite, actually.
Lmao. Take a step back my guy. You’re not their therapist.
lol, are they not Italian?
Sicily (which would include the south end of the boot) would probably have the same label if it weren't less funny that way. They were all distinct kingdoms and cultures for most of their history. the modern unified Italian identity is quite young by European standards, about as old as the US civil war
Isn't that technically true about all of Italy?
I mean, it's the same with Germany and we joke about how Bavaria isn't really part of Germany so I don't disagree with you
Yeah, but the northern part of the peninsula is broadly more culturally uniform than Sicily and Sardinia, and while the exact borders fluctuated a lot and was mainly made of city-states for a long time, there had been past kingdoms that unified the North peninsula much more recently than either of those two regions. "Italy" as a term really only referred to the northern peninsula, for the most part, for well over a thousand years.
Thanks for the context!
It's a somewhat controversial context. Sardinia is a LOT more vocal about their unique identity and isolationistic vocations than Sicily, and the Italian unification has been the subject to an abundant amount of revisionism mostly as a bitter consequence of the real or percieved gaps in economical development between the north and the south.
Unification was very much desired by Italian intellectuals across the country, the general population didn't have that much relevant say into it, but truth be told the unification campaign to annex the south started from Sicily climbing up toward Rome.
Of course it's all a lot more complex, but it can be argued that Italy was more united back than that in later, more recent, stages, for various not entirely devoid of opaque political interests, reasons.
See: this image being funny but also, well, perpetuating an unhealthy stereotype.
They're small, oily fish.
Pretty accurate I must say, bravo!
We are not Italian
I'm from Sardinia and this is spot on
