For clarification: This map isn't based on any real world data. There is no index. Its only purpose is to depict US states with age verification for porn laws on their books. The rest of the world is coloured in somewhat randomly.

me when i... completely make up data at random???

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe it's per capita, but that wouldn't explain why Greenland has no data and all of Africa is filled in.

[–] TaTTe@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Read the undertext by OP, they completely made up all the data to make a joke about age verification in some US states to access porn.

They put the cum back in circumvent.

Alexa, why is my VPN sticky?

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 year ago
You know why. And I'm still mad at you, Dave.

This is Bob. Bob doesn’t upvote data visualization posts without a key or labeled axes.

Pro tip: ordinarily, Markdown will delete a single line break in the middle of a block of text, so that if for some reason you're on a system where you have to do your line wrapping manually, you can without worrying about it messing up your formatting. Normally, the only way around this is by putting two line breaks in a row for a paragraph break. You can, however, force Markdown to insert a single line break by putting two spaces at the end of a line.

This is George. There are two spaces at the end of the first two lines of his body.

He's a lot shorter than Bob, and a lot better looking.

(His head is still tilted to the side a little bit since Markdown strips leading spaces at the beginning of a line. I'm not aware of a way to avoid that besides putting your ASCII stick figure inside of a code block (triple backticks on their own line before and after text you want to stay formatted how it is). If anyone has suggestions possibly involving little known Unicode characters please let me know.)

Alt+255 gives you an invisible character but I'm on a phone so I can't check if that fixes George.

A lot of front ends strip it out since it can be used in so many disruptive ways.

In my app I don't see the space normally, but when I reply to your comment it shows a focused view which DOES seem to show the space.

[–] tb_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Replies, in most Lemmy (and previously Reddit) apps I've used generally show the "pure" markdown when replying, rather than the formatted variant.

If you reply to this comment you should see this line as being broken up.

and this line as having a few regular spaces in the front.

fixed bob thank u

[–] SmoochyPit@beehaw.org 26 points 1 year ago

Utah, USA checks out 😏

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So I get Texas and Utah, why is Montana using so many VPNs?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Recently they passed some draconic anti-porn laws and now pornhub is geoblocked in Montana

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok I missed that news story.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago

I only know because a friend's from there and people were clowning on Montana for a while when it was announced

[–] Restaldt@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

Because the data is made up

[–] manucode@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago

I added an explanation in the description.

[–] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Pornhub should get into the VPN business 👀

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago

Politicians banning porn are probably already in the VPN business 👁️👁️

Wouldn't providing the circumventing measure themselves potentially open them up to be fucked by the states with the bans? Pun kinda intended.

[–] Crow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

That was a thing tho, they did that. Friggin VPNHUB it was called. At least I think it was actually them. Not sure if it's still around

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 11 points 1 year ago

I use a VPN; I'm just not that hot about it.

[–] uis@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Seems legit

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Virtual porn networks are critical for your privacy.

[–] Zkuld@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably relative I assume? Still would be nice to know what colours are what %

[–] manucode@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

I added an explanation in the description.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Does hosting your own VPN count?

Love the clarification BTW. I notice Texas there.

I'd give mine up, but honestly... I miss porn too much

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can post the map, but please don't add a misleading caption.

[–] manucode@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I hope it's fine now
