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

[-] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago

You mean Lake Illinois?

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Change Lake Erie to Moist Ohio

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.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 6 hours ago

I was very against what you said.

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

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.

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

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 16 points 1 day ago

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 4 points 1 day ago

This reads like song lyrics.

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

It's clearly the donnyjeffy ocean.

[-] riskable@programming.dev 18 points 1 day ago

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 1 day 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.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

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

[-] yoriaiko@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

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.

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

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

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

no YOU'RE a frickin' C

[-] modus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Epstein Ocean

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

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

[-] slowmorella@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago

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

[-] zarathustrad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

A very good series of books.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 day ago

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

[-] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

The sea = ocean

[-] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I sea what they did there.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 6 hours ago

I don't! (I'm blind)

[-] 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.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

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

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 1 day ago

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

[-] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 3 points 1 day ago
[-] Mk23simp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Straight of Hormuz -> Epstein-Trump Straight

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

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 1 day ago

Strongly Worded Ocean

Unelectable Sea

Bring Back Better Lake

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Found Mitch McConnell's lemmy account!

[-] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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

[-] RockBottom@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

I would call the Pacific Ocean Christopher Columbus Sea.
