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".

I'd argue the whole map should be blue.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

Technically correct......the best kind of correct.

Going through the center of the Earth, that region in China is only 2.96 Chiles from Chile. I'd like to see a corrected map that accounts for subsurface travel.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Only if you can demonstrate that subsurface travel is possible given current technology, and therefore reasonable to account for.

I am personally concerned about the possibility of Chile firing neutrinos directly at me through the Earth.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This, too, shall pass (right thru you without incident).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

What about a meson gun?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well first of all, through Chile all things are possible, so jot that down.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

If we're digging a hole to China, it will be literally through Chile.

Argentinians will claim that Uyghurs in labour camps live the easy life, 5 Chiles away from Chile

Americans will use ANY form of measurement except metric, won't they?

[–] Goldmage263 3 points 2 weeks ago

True. This is how I know I'm American, because I love this map.

Less than 5 or more than 4?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Less than 5 and* more than 4.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Surely the red area is less than 1 Chile away from Chile and the Orange area is between 1 and 2 Chiles away.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

This map has no right being this thicc.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I live within 2 Chiles of Chile. My ancestors come from 4 Chiles away from Chile. This information is now taking up space in my brain.

Are you an Arab-Antarctican?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

No but that was one of the possibilities.

So there is an area in China that is truly safe?

[–] MonkCanatella 4 points 2 weeks ago

this is what progress looks like

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

If I went as close as I could get to Antarctica without crossing any water, I would be exactly 2 Chiles away from Chile

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

If I went as close as I could get to Antarctica without crossing any water, I would be in Chile. If I could cross the Darian Gap.

Oh shit! They found me!

One and a little bit, and husband lived in Chile, so one degree removed person-wise.
