Cartography Anarchy
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".

Greenland is still mostly covered with water and that is a known, so the map is wrong.
Also might be an amusing map if you look for water cover including water in the atmosphere. Only the worst deserts would show up.
Whooooosh
Please enlighten us plebeians, my good sir.
Greenland is frequently shown as 'No data' due to a lack of data reporting,possibly due to the low population idk. New Zealand gets left off maps frequently, which is why someone added it in a comment.
The legend on this map is saying Greenland and New Zealand have no data, not that they will be above sea level or that it isn't covered in ice. It is purely a joke about gaps in data.
Somehow explaining it did not make it less funny.
Ok I got you. Nice
Glad I could help :)
Here I thought it had some DEEP reference to Plague Inc.
I know that. Calling out that the ice cover though.
