    I asked Lumo the following:

    Which is bigger, Rhode Island or Ontario Canada?

    Ontario is far larger than Rhode Island.

    Rhode Island – about 1,034 square miles (≈ 2,678 km²) Ontario, Canada – about 160,000 square miles (≈ 415,600 km²) So Ontario’s land area is roughly 150 times the size of Rhode Island.

    Rhode Island is puny. PUNY!

      Trusting AI? I’m afraid this source says otherwise.

        We’re going to have to agree to disagree then.

A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don’t be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

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”.
