It should be renamed the Gulf of How Does This Lower the Cost of Groceries Again?

Gulf of fluffing people with empty promises

[-] skvlp@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

"empty promises" is of course more precisely worded as "outright lies".

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago

Gulf of Lies DOES have a nice RPG ring to it 😁

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

I should write this one down for my RPG that will never get made

[-] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

no joking allowed, I gotta complain here too

Relax, doomer. Or don't and visit one of the thousand threads where serious discussion is happening instead.

[-] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Their comment was a joke, in case you missed it.

[-] cerement@slrpnk.net 58 points 2 years ago

oil companies regularly blowing their load all over the Gulf

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 2 years ago

I was thinking that with all the "no one will notice, we don't have to report that" oil well blowouts, we should include Key West and make it the Gulf of M.U.C.K.

[-] crank0271@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Kcum but the K is silent

[-] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago

An alternative suggestion - do what they did with UTC. It's an acronym of both "coordinated universal time" and "temps universel coordonné", which doesn't work in either English or French so everyone is equally unhappy

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

I've seen the meme about using the average of Fahrenheit and Celsius to make everyone unhappy, but I didn't know they actually did it with UTC.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

My favourite thing about XKCD is how every now and then someone links one but other than that I keep forgetting to check it, so any time I return there's several new ones!

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 years ago

More like Gulf of M.U.C. from all the oil spills

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

I support this resolution. All in favor say cum.

If I was president and retarded like our president I would totally cue this in! People all over would visit more. Good for tourism.

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I wish our president was just stupid and not incompetent and evil.

Stupid presidents would just do things like fund insane plans for moon colonies or undersea military bases because it’s cool.

Instead we have an incompetent old man who has been given a list of easy to follow steps for dismantling American democracy.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

The stickiest gulf in the world.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 2 points 2 years ago

That risks turning the Mississippi into a slippery slope.

[-] crank0271@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

That does explain the temperature and saltiness.

[-] livingcoder@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago

I'm just going to start pronouncing it "The Gulf of MEH-he-co", really laying on a heavy Spanish accent for clarity.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Just go full on Golfo de México.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago
[-] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago
[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

It's better to cum in gulf that to golf in cum ...
(maybe, idk)

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Better to Cum in the Gulf than to Gulp the Cum

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I also suggest, that in celebration of renaming it to the Cum Gulf, a party should be thrown, were people are drinking the newly legalized raw milk from three fancy goblets, named the Cum Goblets, and each country would have its own to keep.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I'd be okay with this. Now everyone is included.

[-] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I feel like the squirt emoji would overlay and fit nicely into that sexy little gulf

[-] MITM0@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

What's wrong with that "Cum" has a non-lewd meaning too

[-] brlemworld@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

United States of Mexico

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

The period that’s supposed to go after the ‘m’ got deported to Colombia.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No, CUM is Canada United states & Mexico

[-] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Or MUSC-- oh shit I think we're on to something.

[-] 4oreman@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago
[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I mean, it tastes as salty as the real thing

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It can have multiple names, it's a triple border. The world will still call it gulf of mexico tho

[-] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I can't believe we are actually discussing this ...
