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 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
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.
I’ve been using canadia for years, got a ring to it you know. Did I miss something about the gulf though, was this really a talking point to be freedom fried on day one?
Wow that’s just… gonna be a long 4 years of facepalms. He’s aware executive orders aren’t kings edicts right? Any non gov official can be like cool story bra. I will need to buy more beer.
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 :(
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
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
I don't think people believe that climate change doesn't exist.
I think they just think it's either caused by natural factors or not as dangerous.
I bet that 90% of the people are aware of the climate change.
If they officially changed the name, then that would probably affect a shitton of laws, contracts, treaties, government policies, and who knows what else that reference the "gulf of Mexico"
No, this is what happens when the jet stream goes coo coo thanks to climate change. Without even looking at weather news I’m taking bets northern Canada and Alaska are having a heat wave.
Just wait until the AMOC collapses, europes gonna get real fucking cold real fucking fast.
Oh and when the permafrost melts it’s gonna be go time for all sorts of novel pathogens humans haven’t seen in probably 100k years!
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
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?"

"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.
I'm gonna call it the Gulf of Chile, because Chile is the best country of chile fuck yeah 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🦅🦅
Looooong live the Long Chilean Empire
Gulf of Paraguay.
Gulf of Mexico.
I was like where?
Gulf of Mexico. Don't fucking legitimize it.
Idk, I'd say it's accurate considering how much the U.S. has destroyed what was the Gulf of Mexico.
I prefer "Gulf of Trump's an Infantile Imbecile" or "Gulfed only by Trump's Impotence and Ignorance".
I will not upvote any post that says gulf of America, regardless of being a joke. Fuck you.
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:
Nobody remembers "frisky dingo" and that disappoints me.
Wazzat?

Top minds are working to fix our socialist fire departments as we speak too!
Don’t even entertain the name with a joke. That’s lending it legitimacy.
Gulf of Mexico, you mean. The gulf of America is something that doesn't exist
The Gulf of America is the wealth gap between the poor and the ultra-rich.
I believe the Gulf of America is actually in Russia
Instead of Canada, we're going to rename it Canamerica. Instead of Mexico, we're going to name it Mexigoingtoamerica.
Then we can take back the Canama Panal.
I’ve been using canadia for years, got a ring to it you know. Did I miss something about the gulf though, was this really a talking point to be freedom fried on day one?
Canada: comes from the Huron-Iroquois word “kanata,” meaning “village”.
That’s a big ass village
I’m not your guy buddy!
There was literally an executive order on it yesterday. Link
TL;DR: he’s ordered Denali to be renamed back to Mount McKinley and Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.
Sadly not The Onion.
Wow that’s just… gonna be a long 4 years of facepalms. He’s aware executive orders aren’t kings edicts right? Any non gov official can be like cool story bra. I will need to buy more beer.
We're going to be "Kraft Vegemite^TM^ Presents Australia".
Guild of Mexico.
Flippancy or sarcasm, or not, continuing to use his language only empowers it.
United States North of Mexico
North (of Mexico) America.
Gulf Of Disappeared Dinosaurs Area Meteorite Nuke
or short: GODDAMN
Still think its weird he didn't start with changing new Mexico to something else but instead the gulf.
Not sure if funny or depressing
Gulf o Murica. FTFY.

It snowed in the Gulf of Meh-hico? [using the Spanish pronunciation because fuck trump][eye dialect]
New Orleans got hit with the biggest blizzard in the city's history.
Gonna need ah whole heapin pot ah Gumbo tah warm me through this heyah week.
Pretty sure they have more snow then parts of Canada right now
I'm in Canada and I have only a tiny wisp of snow that is frozen to our very very cold ground.
I'm in Canada, it's been snowing for days and we have 2 feet.
If you still have 2 feet, the frostbite isn't too bad yet.
Confirm, that's probably more snow than I've seen in two years, given I live in the PNW but still
Can we piss everybody off by calling it The Gulf of the Americas?
No
Nobody calls it that. Gulf of Mexico Florida man here. Republicans I know think that's dumb and no one plans to say that
How about Gulf Cart?
Should be called the Gulf of Water
What’s the reasoning there?
There's more water in it than there is America.

Nowhere is ideologically homogeneous. Stupidity is always a majority and the easiest to amplify.
The problems here are far more complex.
Florida got snow here!

From the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works
You can argue Inhofe is being cynical, but there's plenty of O&G heads in his district who make more money as denialists than serious inquisitors.
Not funny.
Ridicule is a tool. It's a pity you lack a sense of humour, it helps.
If they officially changed the name, then that would probably affect a shitton of laws, contracts, treaties, government policies, and who knows what else that reference the "gulf of Mexico"
Why not call it gulf of Spain? And while we’re at it they can have Florida back.
Oh oh, Mr Frost-- do LA next please! Preferably now!
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.
Do you have a link? I'd love to read more about it and a quick Google didn't turn up anything.
I was in a Randall Carlson interview.
This explains how they've changed their opinion over time, Due to new scientific methods,
