    I assume North and South Carolina are green because you can name your kid just “Carolina”, so why is only one of the Washingtons green if we’re allowed to use partial names?

    Edit: Also Columbia is a name

      I’m guessing cause they’re using the District of Columbia part and maybe didn’t think about chopping off the District part like with the North and South parts.

      To be fair it’s his last name, and also like his agent name, right? But I do think Utah as a first name is SICK. But I’m from there sooo… lol

    If you name your daughter after a state or city, she will pay for school by dancing.

      Stage names are typically made up. That dancer you like named after a city is probably actually a Jennifer or an Amanda.

    Literally considering naming my incoming daughter Rhoda (of Rhodes) I think it’s a fine name. Also shares a name with a girl in classic literature.

    Idaho should be dark red. You should never give bullies that much fuel.

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”.
