Tasmania sounds like an acceptable name.

[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 months ago

"Tassie" sounds like a great name.

[-] thebigslime@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Reminds me of Cassie and Tassie in Letterkenny.

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Sounds like a stripper, to be honest

First thing that popped into my head.

[-] MudMan@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, right? Didn't even have to mess with the map that much.

Id assume their parents were hippies, but it could play.

Western Australia, stop bullying your younger sister South Australia.

You take my daughter Queensland out of your goddamn mouth!

[-] MikeOxlong@lemm.ee 24 points 2 months ago

New South Wales sounds kinda cute 🥰

.... or Territory!

Its State or Territory!

Ya missed a bit, ya heathens!

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 18 points 2 months ago

I will turn this car around right now, Jervis Bay Territory!

We're a territory, we had a referendum years ago after we got told off for being the first place in the world to bring in voluntary euthanasia laws by our lovely government in Canberra.

Referendum failed we remained a territory and can't govern ourselves fully.

...and Australia is like, WTF mate.

[-] CowsSayPotato 8 points 2 months ago

I get your joke. We're old now.

[-] Spaceinv8er@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

sad sigh :(

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

But they’ll die soon…fkn kangaroos.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

If the territories count, there’s a whole new world of opportunity. I have met a Christmas, and cocos or keeling sound kinda cute (albeit not my taste). I feel like Cartier and ashmore would show up in name shaming groups.

Although to be fair, they’re not on the map

[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Cartier sounds like a surname. Ashmore isn't that bad really, a tad old fashioned perhaps.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 7 points 2 months ago

If we’re accepting time zones, Lord Howe Island is in play

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago

"Newswa" or something isn't the worst I've heard.

[-] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Neusa is a common woman's name where I live.

[-] runner_g 4 points 2 months ago

Noosa is a brand of yogurt where I live.

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, naming your daughter Northern Territory is a big oof.

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".
