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".

The ancient Middle West prophecies speak of a prophet who will lead us to the promised land where there's unlimited pop and deep fried chicken pita wraps with ranch dressing. It's a place that's basically the same as the lyrics from big rock candy mountain.

The great khan of Illinois needs to take control and lead to a new era of peace and prosperity

The “Midwest” is actually the “Mideast”

fight me. do it.

As a kid, I thought the Midwest was Montana, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 16 hours ago

Nebraska and the Dakotas are legit in the Midwest, but at the far western edge of it.

The Midwest is like 4 states in my head. I grew up in Indiana, so its Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois, and some of Kentucky. But most of Kentucky is actually the deep south, so that's not even quite right.

The Midwest is the friends we made along the way

Appalachia is a state of mind.

People in Wisconsin seem to think they’re the center of the Midwest, and that Michigan is their biggest competition lol

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 16 hours ago

Which is silly, because Iowa is the epicenter of the Midwest.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

That's fair, bcz i think Indiana is the center of the Midwest. It's probably not. But in my head it is.

Madison, IN v Madison, Wisconsin. The real Midwest rivalry.

Indiana wins of course, because Miss Madison is fast.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 2 points 21 hours ago

We here in Michigan mostly just humor them

If only we could get all parties to agree to a 9-state solution.

I knew of two other people on lemmy who lived in my state, and then following the tradition of so many astronauts before us, one of them left due to governmental persecution and fled to another country.

Shout out to all the people stuck in these states without enough funds to leave for a better life.

[–] badbytes@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Yeah and "West" includes all the center states.

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 5 points 23 hours ago

We could really use some peace 'round these parts, couldn't come fast enough.

Have them annexed to Greenland, there are only upsides.. Universal healthcare, cars that people can afford, and best of all safety from Trump
