Truly the Cramer of China.

Renaming Lake Superior to Lake Inferior to reiterate the nations dedication to environmental destruction

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago

Iroquoian word Ontarí:io, which is most commonly translated as "great lake" or "beautiful lake," though some sources interpret it as "lake of shining waters" or "sparkling water." 

The name predates both Canada and the United States, appearing on European maps in the mid-17th century (first recorded as Lacus Ontarius in 1660). The Canadian province of Ontario was named after the lake, not the other way around picard

Calling everything _ America just seems confusing

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago (3 children)

He's gonna do the Strait of America next, then he's gonna rename one of the other Great Lakes to Lake America every other week to increase pressure on Canada. True patriots will just guess correctly which one is meant when somebody says Lake America.

NO MORE GREENLAND. It is now Americaland! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The upcoming the-democrat president will call it the Gay of America for one (1) week during pride before signing some awful anti-LGBTQ policies.

Important update: The Straits of Mackinac are now also called the Strait of America. Canada has now been renamed Iran 2 and will surrender within the next 2 weeks.

[–] BettercallMao@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Trump is like 2 steps away from actually doing the "replacing random words in the dictionary with your own name" thing

I wonder who else has done that aside from Niyazov/Turkmenbasy

[–] red_giant@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago

BLOCKADE THE STRAIT OF ONTARIO

[–] Kefla@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There'll be the America River in a couple of months, too.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Mississippi is too hard to say and spell. So henceforth because some bearded lady insulted me on a paddleboat ride in 1982 it will now be known as America River. It's a river and America runs through it. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER PRESIDENT OF RIVERA DJT #TRUMPCOIN a-little-trolling

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

I was thinking the Rio Grande lol. Maybe it'll be the Big America River

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hell yeah dude.

Assuming.ing we have much of a future left, the history books about the past decade are gonna be fuckin wild.

[–] BobDole@hexbear.net 33 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Historians in China writing “this actually happened” about this period in America.

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Children in China having to learn about what a podcaster is in order to properly understand the downfall of the Reich.

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

During the Western Eclipse, there were two popular forms of entertainment. The first one was putting on 'earphones' to listen to two strangers bantering while you were stuck in traffic. The other was sitting alone in a dark room watching 'electronic games' on a 'computer'.

You mean playing 'electronic games'.

No, they watched strangers play the game and talking over it. Everyone under 30 got all their information and opinions served to them by people broadcasting themselves playing 'electronic games'. Some of these players got rich, and wielded great influence and power. They styled themselves with ridiculous names: Fouldaggior, Prophecy, Moldhaven, Creampie, Shaslik, Zimzam, Hoooorg...

This is a serious history class, you can't just make stuff up, no one is going to believe this crap

[–] red_giant@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And then their prophets, the Tate brothers Bugatti, were extradited to Britain while on the run from Romania.

[–] christian@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

There's so much documentation now that this stuff should survive, but it does makes me wonder if there are legitimate historical events that are universally accepted as mythology because they sound overly farfetched and couldn't be extensively documented in their era.

Me, minutes after reading an official government tweet claiming a graphic showing that our entire solar grid failed to generate any electricity between dusk and dawn proves that solar energy is a catastrophic failure: No emperor could be stupid enough to believe he was wearing clothes he couldn't see.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All those digital records can so easily get lost.

[–] christian@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I meant more documentation in the form of discussion through social media. Like sure, there could be uncertainty over the legitimacy of any one specific event, but I feel like there shouldn't be much question that the regular absurdity is widely accepted as real during the era it's taking place in. I can't picture a future archaeologist looking back and claiming the vast majority of this was fiction.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I think there is a genuine risk that the digital records like reporting and discussions get lost in the public record and only persist in AI datasets and eventually the AI datasets get lost as well and we only have the models.

There is a real cost, not unfathomably high, but big enough and recurring, for keeping that data around. The orgabisations doing that in the public interest are under constant legal threats.

"Now honest to God, I'm not making any of this up." But in Chinese.

Anyway I remember peeking in one of the fresh history books my high school had and yeah, they referenced Trump posting on Twitter.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

I'm so tired Hoss... yes-honey-left

[–] Moomoo_Milk@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

As someone who lives near Lake Ontario, this’ll become an easy way to filter people out.

But jfc is this shit so petty and pointless.

[–] dkr567@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That mush of a brain be sunsetting hard.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Go for it dude, call it whatever you want but the legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they called Gichigamee. The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead, when the skies of November turn gloomy

My hot take is that they're all one lake.

Rename the California city to America

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

On MY maps, I changed the name of Washington D.C. to The Gulf Of Stupidity.

Makes me laugh and there is NOTHING Trump can do about it.

[–] GoodBleanis@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)
