I will not upvote any post that says gulf of America, regardless of being a joke. Fuck you.

I was like where?

How about Gulf Cart?

All the naysayers are saying, oh look global warming ha ha ha ha

They don't get that the earth attempts to achieve homeostasis temperature wise.

There is new speculation that the ice age didn't take hundreds of years or ten years. It happened in a matter of weeks.

Gulf of America

No such place.

[–] garbagebagel 1 points 1 hour ago

That's true, this picture is fake news!

/s since I sadly have to point that out nowadays

Im not going to call it the Gulf of America. That's embarrassing.

[–] Allonzee 25 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I'll call it the Gulf of Carl's Jr

Because that's where we're at.

I’ll call it the Gulf of ~~Carl's Jr~~ Hardee's

Because that’s where we’re at.

I just realized Trump probably thinks it's the Golf of Mexico

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 32 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Nobody is except those ring-tailed dingdongs called the Republicans.

[–] PunnyName 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

And you. Since you posted with that exact name. Telling on yourself?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 12 points 4 hours ago

No LOL I'm being sarcastic.

[–] Madison420 6 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

The fact we're going to spend money to print new fucking maps is infuriating.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Seriously, did anyone check how much money Rand-McNally and Garmin donated to the "inauguration fund?"

[–] Madison420 4 points 2 hours ago

Somehow I imagine schools that are just now replacing maps that show the USSR with these products of ego. Like we as a nation are hilariously bad with geography but we don't need to throw in curve balls to make us look dumber.

[–] mkhopper 1 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

Hasn't happened yet, but I'm waiting to see how long it takes Google to make the change in Maps.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 minutes ago

There's a discussion about this at openstreetmaps.

Presumably at Wikipedia also.

Determining what things are named is complex.

[–] Madison420 1 points 1 hour ago

Imma call it the Gulf of Hispaniola to really confuse the matter.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Wonder what happens in google maps if viewed outside of the us? Since my country is not changing the name.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 minutes ago

I suspect it'll remain the gulf of Mexico. Google displays maps in local languages based on your IP, so I assume they'd use the name your country accepts. If you log in from Japan you see the sea of Japan to the west, but if you log in from Korea it's called the east sea

I'm gonna call it the Gulf of Chile, because Chile is the best country of chile fuck yeah 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🦅🦅

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Gulf of Paraguay.

[–] Aedis 1 points 2 hours ago

Looooong live the Long Chilean Empire

Freedom Fries

United States North of Mexico

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

North (of Mexico) America.

Trump fixed global warming, you filthy libural

Nothing is ever good enough for y'all

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I know you're joking, but for those who get "gotcha-d" with similar comments:

[–] P00ptart 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Nobody remembers "frisky dingo" and that disappoints me.

Murderface, the villain, has a rocket that he plans to use to push the earth into the sun. But instead it only pushed earth a few feet further from the sun and he was credit with solving global warming and went on to run for president. It was basically the trial run for archer, lot of the same humor, similar characters, and most of the voice actors. Great show. It also spun off as a series called the x-ticles but only had a show or two before the company folded.

Top minds are working to fix our socialist fire departments as we speak too!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Instead of Canada, we're going to rename it Canamerica. Instead of Mexico, we're going to name it Mexigoingtoamerica.

[–] jaybone 2 points 1 hour ago

Then we can take back the Canama Panal.

[–] PunnyName 7 points 4 hours ago

Guild of Mexico.

Flippancy or sarcasm, or not, continuing to use his language only empowers it.

[–] robolemmy 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Can we piss everybody off by calling it The Gulf of the Americas?

[–] PunnyName 3 points 4 hours ago
[–] taiyang 1 points 2 hours ago

Oh oh, Mr Frost-- do LA next please! Preferably now!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I know this is a joke, but snow along the Gulf Coast, while not common, is also not unprecedented in the dead of winter. It was actually more common a century ago

Nowhere is ideologically homogeneous. Stupidity is always a majority and the easiest to amplify.

The problems here are far more complex.

Pretty sure they have more snow then parts of Canada right now

[–] garbagebagel 1 points 1 hour ago

Confirm, that's probably more snow than I've seen in two years, given I live in the PNW but still

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm in Canada and I have only a tiny wisp of snow that is frozen to our very very cold ground.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm in Canada, it's been snowing for days and we have 2 feet.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 hours ago

If you still have 2 feet, the frostbite isn't too bad yet.
