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

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No LOL I'm being sarcastic.

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

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

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

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

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week 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 week 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 week 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 :(

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

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

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

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

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

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

All this “””global warming””” bs is climate extremism! /s

It’s so bad that the temperature where I live (Edmonton, Alberta) barely gets below freezing during winter when it should be around -15 to -20C in December and January. Last winter, we barely had snows save a few snowstorms. Every summer, the city fills with smoke from yearly wildfires and it gets hard to breathe.

The climate was never like this in the last 10 years, yet people still say climate change isn’t human caused or doesn’t exist
