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

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No LOL I'm being sarcastic.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I would quote it or somehow explicitly indicate your sarcasm since it doesn't translate well over text. You can edit post titles.

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

Because that's where we're at.

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

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

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

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 73 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Gulf of America

No such place.

Sure there is, it's right off the American Ocean (not to be confused with the West American Ocean).

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

Don’t even entertain the name with a joke. That’s lending it legitimacy.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Gulf of Mexico, you mean. The gulf of America is something that doesn't exist

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

The Gulf of America is the wealth gap between the poor and the ultra-rich.

Guild of Mexico.

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

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 21 points 1 year ago (9 children)

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Then we can take back the Canama Panal.

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

Sooooooo back in 2008 when I lived in Houston, we got a solid inch of snow.. and the year before that when I was in California, it froze so bad the pipes burst…

I used to joke I brought the Midwest with me but it turns out it was just climate change :(

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

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

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] richard3030@lemmy.one 14 points 1 year ago

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

Nobody calls it that. Gulf of Mexico Florida man here. Republicans I know think that's dumb and no one plans to say that

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

The problems here are far more complex.
