Terran planet earth.

I've been saying that Canada should rename Lake Michigan to Lake Canada.

[–] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 0 points 18 hours ago

You mean Lake Illinois?

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 65 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Full utilitarianism. Pacific Ocean is now "Ocean 1". Atlantic is "Ocean 2". So on, and so forth.

And we're serializing the countries while we're at it (random number assignment, no major economy gets to have #1 for ego reasons). I can already see the signs: "Country 4 is #1!".

Every flag is a solid pantone color. Every anthem is a localization of Riding Nerdy by Weird Al.

Oooh!

  • Australia could be "Hot and Deadly"
  • Most of the Southern US could be "Poor and Backward-y"
  • Lots of locations in South America could be "Lush and Birdy".
  • The border between Russia and Ukraine could be "War Incurred-y"
  • Washington DC could be "Trump's Diaper Filled with Turdies"
  • An alternative for Auatralia is "Cunt isnt a swear word-y"
  • The whole planet could be "the fact that we havent released the unredacted Epstein files is absurd-y"

Pacific #1

Suck shit Atlantic!

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 18 hours ago

I was very against what you said.

But then you brought up Weird Al, so now I'm on board.

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't use numbers as they indicate a priority.

Use random 32 bit base64 strings instead. You can technically order them but not in a useful sense.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fine, every country gets a UUID and is a file in /var

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Actually, let's order the countries based on their citizen happiness ranking. If being #1 is a point of ego, let's make that the metric they're all striving to be on top of.

[–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

United States at #1, president says ignore the men holding guns, they are NOT coercing people into saying they're happy, healthy, and alive.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

This reads like song lyrics.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Change Lake Erie to Moist Ohio

[–] riskable@programming.dev 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

All the continents should be renamed, "Landia" and the oceans should just be rolled into, "Oceania".

Why makes things complicated?

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Landia and oceania imply there are multiple imo. I'd say long landia and wide langdia are separated by the big oceania, where as little landia and micro landia are separated by the small oceania.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

It's clearly the donnyjeffy ocean.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

Fuck it, no more names. We just call it "The Ocean".

[–] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

The rest of the world should just rename America, itself.

[–] yoriaiko@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But like... do You know origin of current name?

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

Sea of Atlas or Sea beyond the Atlas Mountains.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why not Earthocean or Earthsea, as the ocean is touched mostly by the earth below it instead of the shores of the continents?

But a good book series and a crazy whitewashed movie.

[–] sockinggood@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I did enjoy the books, but can't even remember the movie

It touches the US so you call it American sea. This follows the same rule as bacterial contamination.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Canada -> North America

North America -> North America America

South America -> Tren De Aqua America

United Kingdoms -> Old America

Cuba -> New America

Japan -> Anime America

China -> Evil America

I would rename the dead sea to death sea and the red sea to blood sea. The mediterranian sea shall be named realm of souls.

[–] lovely_reader@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

no YOU'RE a frickin' C

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

But it's not a sea, it's an ocean. There is a difference!

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

The sea = ocean

If you want to make Trump apocalyptically angry, start naming stuff after Obama. I truly believe if California renamed itself Obamafornia he would declare all-out war against them.

[–] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Oklahoma would just rename itself to Trumptucky and the balance world reset

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Ok, so soon, when the president declares to own the straits of hormuz, we rename it the Epstein Honeypots Strait, or something. Still workshopping the name.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Epstein Ocean

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He would stroke out, and we'd be reading the Big Beautiful Obituary by the end of the day.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

water

more water

water 2.0

I can't believe it's water (alt: I can't believe it's not land)

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 4 points 2 days ago

I propose naming USA "Shitholeistan". Since Trump is so fond of shithole countries.

[–] Mk23simp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

Straight of Hormuz -> Epstein-Trump Straight

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You aren’t supposed to end sentences on a proposition…

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 5 points 1 day ago

I didn't know that, you and I should get together.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Strongly Worded Ocean

Unelectable Sea

Bring Back Better Lake

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Found Mitch McConnell's lemmy account!

OMG lol! Yes! Gravy train baby! Fuck pronouns and upper case letters!

[–] RockBottom@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

I would call the Pacific Ocean Christopher Columbus Sea.
