Map needs updated, one of the disputes that escalated the Hatfield-McCoy feud concerned the ownership of a hog. The feud lead to the Governors of Kentucky and West Virginia threatening to invade each other and ended when Kentucky's Adjunct General (highest ranking office of the state militia) Sam Hill ordered a military incursion into West Virginia.

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".

His death hit me really hard. I think partly because I watched a lot of his videos during the pandemic with my kids, and he was only 4-5 years older than my son. I found out when everyone else did about his cancer, but I figured he was fine because I hadn't really heard anything about it until his dad's video. It wrecked me, and kinda still does.
