I can’t seem to find the original source, but based on search results, I’m seeing that this map has been circulating in similar circles to this and solar power communities since at least 2016.

Sometimes I forget how long it’s been!

I’ll defer to @meep_launcher@lemm.ee on this one, since they set this whole community up.

It’s a shame that we can’t merge all of our content here with a new community.

What a loss. =(

It’s a strange quirk of lemmy that we will continue to be able to see content from lemm.ee even after they’ve shut down. It’ll feel like seeing ghosts.

Probably just no more than 2 species in a given area, but not necessarily the same 2 in every area.

Plus sub-species, I assume.

There are a bunch of other cool maps too:

Discord is going public soon, so start the timer…

New what now?

Part of it seems to stem from people’s excitement to infodump about how federated social media works.

That’s relevant and interesting to learn about, but the average person just needs to hear “make and account here and start browsing memes” first.

Physicists say it’s purely theoretical right now.

You know how when you’re into something, and you hear someone speak about it so wrongly, with confidence, that it becomes immediately clear that they’re full of shit?

That’s every chess player reading his takes on chess.

And above the land is Con Air

Because otherwise the data would be artificially lower in areas with more children.

For example, imagine a suburb in Utah filled with college educated software engineers with big Mormon families. If you count the kids, it might look like people there don’t have degrees.
