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".

May I know what it is
Just have to visit next year
And get murdered by some gruesome creature I didn't even know existed?
Hey better you then me.
That's why we try promote such a tourist friendly front. Fresh sacrifices.
Have you heard of the gympy gympy plant?
We named a town after it haha
Remember that it is always half of Earth that gets sunlight. This illustrates how much of the Pacific is missing in this projection.
There isn't any of the Pacific missing in this projection...you can see right where it starts at the Bering Strait and ends in the exact same place. If this map were centered on the Pacific it would probably seem larger, but there's none missing.
Bro what you still think the Pacific is a real thing and not a random area invented by the government to have the world map look more satisfying
It's warped, not missing. Just like the resized continents are all there in full, just incorrect (relative) sizes.
during a solar eclipse less than half of the Earth is lit
obligatory your mum climbs a ladder joke
But on 4/20 more than half of the Earth is lit so it balances out
As a NZer I'm Insulted you aren't excluding us along with Australia.
how about we deport our prisoners to Australia. We're not animals though, so we'll load the ships with a bunch of rabbits to sustain them until they settle in.
Is it true?
If it's not on the summer solstice (Jun 20), then shouldn't there be two dates where this is the case, one before and one after?
Is the angle different the other side somehow? Is the north/south swapped or something?
If Jul 8th is one of them, Jun 2nd would be other. There's no swapping of north/south.
Free Burger King for everyone under the sun!
We don't have burger king in Australia. Its called hungry jacks. There was another chain called burger king, now gone, and burger king bought an existing chain called hungry jacks. So it would work!
And back in the 90s, Hungry Jack's had a set of mascots called the Kids' Club that had something to do with their kid meals. One of them was a kid in a wheelchair named Wheels.
We know. That's like the main Australian fact, it's important to mention it at every opportunity. Along with, you know, the emu War.
And that all Aussies love cookin' shrimp on the barbie
We call them prawns by the way.

Sorry Australia and New Zealand.
Hey at least new Zealand is on the map. That must be zenough
“World population of known humans”, fixed that for ya
Are you implying that we should be counting atlanteans, cetaceans, the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh, and the mole people? I don't think they much care about being left out.
What about the people who live on the INSIDE of the Earth huh? CHECKMATE solid earthers!
