I encourage y'all to be quite militant about this. "Greenland? Ahem, I think you meant Epstein Land."

Cf. https://www.der-postillon.com/2026/01/groenland-trump.html (German) and https://speld.nl/2026/01/08/denemarken-verandert-naam-groenland-in-epstein-island-zodat-trump-erover-ophoudt/ (Dutch).

Just don't leave Epsteinland alone in the care of USA's goverment officials or it might suddenly get depressed while every Starlink satellite monitoring the area are malfunctioning.

You do realize they killed Epstein, right?

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Yeah, but if you rename Greenland to Epstien Island, suddenly the US has never been there, is uninterested in it, and doesn't have any knowledge of it. On the other hand they might just react it entirely.

More reason to commemorate him, no?

After traveling all this way, we arrive at the telephone game version of this meme, where the setup (in order to get trump to ignore it) has drifted off into the ether completely.

Too disgusting.

Maybe invite Melania to rent a house there, she's pretty good at evading Donald.

De Speld and Der Postillon might actually win the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

That isn't Mercator, then the longitude lines would be parallel and not converge at the pole like that. Greenland really is massive, even without the Mercator distortion.

I'm betting that part of trump's fascination with Greenland is because of the mercator projection.

[–] KiwiTB@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

While possibly true, the fascination is Putin's, he's just following orders. Putin has wanted Venezuela and greenland for a long time.
