Im not going to call it the Gulf of America. That's embarrassing.
Nobody is except those ring-tailed dingdongs called the Republicans.
And you. Since you posted with that exact name. Telling on yourself?
No LOL I'm being sarcastic.
I would quote it or somehow explicitly indicate your sarcasm since it doesn't translate well over text. You can edit post titles.
sarcasm is an antipattern. you should try to remove it from your online dialogs
Lemmy and getting jokes. What a tough combo.
Woosh. Pretty ironic for someone called "PunnyName"
I'll call it the Gulf of Carl's Jr
Because that's where we're at.
I just realized Trump probably thinks it's the Golf of Mexico
Gulf of Rax's
Are there Rax's in gulf states?
Freedom Fries
I'm gonna call it the Gulf of Chile, because Chile is the best country of chile fuck yeah π¨π±π¨π±π¨π±π¦ π¦
Looooong live the Long Chilean Empire
Gulf of Paraguay.
The fact we're going to spend money to print new fucking maps is infuriating.
Seriously, did anyone check how much money Rand-McNally and Garmin donated to the "inauguration fund?"
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.
"Let's not be hasty it might come back"
Hasn't happened yet, but I'm waiting to see how long it takes Google to make the change in Maps.
Wonder what happens in google maps if viewed outside of the us? Since my country is not changing the name.
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
Imma call it the Gulf of Hispaniola to really confuse the matter.
There's a discussion about this at openstreetmaps.
Presumably at Wikipedia also.
Determining what things are named is complex.
