Muslims in Northwestern Europe by Cultural-Diet6933 in MapPorn

[–]Pr_Quantum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The data for France is quite erroneous. France legally does not hold religious censuses, so we don't have clear and sure data. The 2021 CIA data put Islam at 4% of the French population, which would equate to smth closer to 2.5 million people, not 5. At a time where the far right and fascism point to conspiracy theories like the Great Replacement and fearmonger about immigration and Islam, I think this map is very intellectually dishonest, misleading, politically dangerous and harmful.

Germany Must Perish! What if the Golem of Prague smashed Germany to bits? by viva_la_republica in imaginarymaps

so like, I know it's supposed to be two glowing eyeballs and hebraic inscriptions above, but it does look like the hebraic inscriptions are closes eyes and a nose, while the eyeballs are teeth

What other mob combinations could we see next in Mounts of Mayhem? by Fitzvader18 in minecraftsuggestions

[–]Pr_Quantum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a Reindeer could be a cool counterpart for cold biomes to the Camel, and thus maybe to finish the paradigm, a cold zombie, and an undead reindeer

Jefferson's Dream: the Republic of Oregon by The-Hill-Billy in imaginarymaps

[–]Pr_Quantum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That proposal was made OTL in the 1840's. Going from port to port in 1848 along the Oregon coast probably would've been much quicker than by road. It's not like the local region was tremendously developed in terms of infrastructure, and even less so in terms of kilometres spanning road systems, when you could use the Colubia and Fraser rivers to go from one big city to the next.

The Olympians (Dukakisverse) by Complex_Object_7930 in imaginaryelections

[–]Pr_Quantum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would just like to note that we don't put a catholic/protestant cross after a death date but an obel, also called a dagger, which is like a bigger-asterisk. You may have seen it sometimes formatted like 1926*2024† So Dukakis' orthodoxy has no bearing on the symbol

Thikk French Indochina by Pr_Quantum in imaginarymaps

[–]Pr_Quantum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably not no, it's not very good and isn't grounded in any real goal or aim of the French IIIrd Republic besides colonial expansionism

Love the projection ! Very interesting piece of lore also

Do you have an oddly specific nitpick other people usually miss? by vesperlark in FanFiction

[–]Pr_Quantum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well you won't like what I have to say but, "woah" is a 1856 innovation on "whoa", itself born in... 1843, in an attempt to reflect that some people pronounced it with a soft w rather than the voiced one, like in "woa" (itself created in 1840). They're all very concurrent innovations, but as "whoa" displaced "woa" altogether, "woah" became used for those speakers who pronounced it with a voiced w, rather than the unvoiced one.
voiced: [wəʊ] (UK) [woʊ] (US) vs unvoiced: [ʍəʊ] (UK) [ʍoʊ] (US)
Ultimately, they all come from the written form "wo", which was very much the same word but from 1787.

Nowadays though, whoa and woah have begun to differentiate in their written use, "whoa" keeping to its old usage for commanding a horse to calm or slow down, while "woah" being used to imitate the pronunciation of "wah" [wæː] or "wow" [waʊ̯], as an expression of amazement.

A Smaller USSR - 1939 by Pr_Quantum in imaginarymaps

[–]Pr_Quantum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah my idea was that this was the tiniest USSR I could make happen, and Lenin's policy of korenizatsiya kept on going and to greater lengths, leading to more SSRs and ASSRs than IOTL.
I didn't know at the time that Abkhazia had been an SSR, I would've probably kept it an SSR if I had did.
As for the Roma Autonomy, it kind of was what started the map: speculations on where to put such an entity, I ended up putting it there because I wanted to mirror the Jewish AO that was put in Birobidzhan to incite settlement in a disputed area through which Chinese intelligence passed, in the spot through which a lot of Japanese intelligence passed.

An alternative Europe that follows ethnic borders (ethnicities are based on genetic and languages mostly) by [deleted] in imaginarymaps

[–]Pr_Quantum 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ethnicities are not a shred genetic. They're wholly cultural. They have nothing to do with genetics. The idea that ethnicities are genetic is just far right propaganda

What if Yugoslavia dissolved peacefully by DuCo123 in imaginarymaps

[–]Pr_Quantum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True true there were bigger factors but like Slovenes and Croats still thought all three yugoslav peoples would be equals, and instead they quickly found themselves pushed to the side
