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".

You're missing a few. Also, some of those have closed. Because of these discrepancies this map is literally unusable.

Thinking more one hell of a pub crawl.

How many of them are called The Winchester?

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

I don't know, but that's where I would go both to wait out the apocalypse and for a date.

2, if this is to be believed

Edit, and then 3 or 4 if THIS is to believed (and those other two appear to have moved from Burnley to Liverpool, and Islington to Highgate)

Why so empty on the northern part? Non British here.

The people who lived there were forcibly relocated to the colonies because the lairds worked out that it was more profitable to use the land for sheep than peasants.

I think they'd say the same.

damn bro the night life really is dying. Barely any pubs nowadays.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (13 children)

Nope, incomplete. Here's one at the tip of that peninsula-looking island that's left bare (Skye).

I'm curious now it there actually is a spot in the Hebrides or Highlands where you can be more than a day's walk from a pub.

It'll be interesting to remove the Red Lion and see the difference

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I looked it up and thought it was a franchise at first, just very creative and varied about it. Some of them looked really nice, too.

Looking at that blue line, OOP solved the traveling Irishman problem.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

This is missing a few, there's more than that in the rural regions of Scotland.

Why does it include part of Ireland? That's a completely different country.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Assuming you are not trolling and actually curious, Northern Ireland is part of the UK since the Partition of Ireland in 1921.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i have terrible news, you've left the good timeline (the Easter-1916 timeline) and are in ours now

Does the Ottoman Empire still stand, brother?

What’s the deal with the hole in the cloud of pins near the England / Scotland border?

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

it's actually one Big Super Pub that fills up the whole of Northumberland

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Looks like it might be the North Pennines, which is basically a national park

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

I'd be interested to see the alcoholism rates over history compared to the US. That's a lot of pubs, but I have a feeling the rates are lower there.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Found a random graph that might tell part of the story. I've always heard that people drink more heavily in Europe than the US.

There's seems to be a mistake: The northern portion of Éire, also known as Ireland, is erroneously included in this chart of UK pubs. Please fix this.

Happy to see some of the unoriginal shitposts from Reddit that have been posted over and over for years making their way to Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It was my first time seeing it =/

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was one of today's 10,000, too. I liked it.

It wasn't mine, but things don't have to be 100% new and original for me to enjoy them.

This better not awaken anything in me.

Embrace your inner Hank Hill.

Says someone that's never posted anything at all

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

First time seeing this one. Did you know images are often shared across multiple social media platforms?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Be the change you want to see in the world

Sample output from my D&D pub name generator:

Goblin and Squirrel
Golden Pot
Sleepy Troll
Cheerful Spoon
Baldric and Frog
Green Toad
Stoat and Halberd
Goose and Halberd
Squirrel and Halberd
Goblin and Sword
Well Fed Duck
Laughing Duck
Eye and Goblin
Squirrel and Hen
Kobold and Dog

Dunno why it likes halberds so much here. It has its moods.
