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

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

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

Because that's where we're at.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks 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.

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

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

I was like where?

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 55 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 42 points 1 week ago

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

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 weeks ago (1 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).

[–] 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.

Still think its weird he didn't start with changing new Mexico to something else but instead the gulf.

Guild of Mexico.

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

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

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

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 :(

[–] ilost7489@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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

Florida got snow here!

[–] protist@mander.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] canitendtherabbits@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Gulf o Murica. FTFY.

[–] TypicalHog@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.
