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".

map is outdated, Benedict XVI died in 2022

edit: map is not outdated, the Vatican is half a square kilometer

Just checked, Vatican city is 0.49 km^2^ so until then it was actually 4.

Where is he buried?

In the crypt below the basilica.

Then depending on the state of decomposition, maybe it still counts as 2.

This is only a map of Catholic popes! You need a separate map to show the Discordian popes:

It would look something like this:

This map still works during the Avignon papacy (apart from all the borders being different).

This messed me up. Googling didn't help, but then it almost never does these days.

Vatican city is only 0.49 km^2^.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 3 points 16 hours ago

That's 1309 popes per million!

Maybe the Vatican is 0.5 km² large 🤷‍♂️

Almost exactly.
