Although I might call it "The Gulf of Amerigo" from time to time to annoy certain people who would deserve to be annoyed by me going WELL TECHNICALLY when they try to correct me about it

Can’t we just cancel whatever fucking secret experiment Florida is, and let it drift into the goddamn ocean already? I’m sick of these assclowns making life suck for real America.
Back in about 2015, dufus was ramping up with cray cray & I saw someone twit, "didn't have that on my bingo card". Then I saw more twits about bingo cards. I liked the analogy so I've used it ever since. lol
I was born there(in one of the good, family areas of Palm Bay) and technically we need to start moving people.. which of course means that only the people who are Dems & believe in climate change will be saved😁
Plenty of maps out there showing various levels. What I'm enjoying most is all the deniers on here getting their panties all in a bunch because I poked a stick in their eye with a pithy comment.
Texas is a lot cooler than Florida. Maybe a PsyOp first? Just POTUS to inform them that the state is already underwater… they’ll just drown automatically. Win win!
I think Mexico should rename the Gulf of California, as would be their right, as it falls completely within their borders. Wonder if Gulf of Obama would make more MAGA heads explode than Gulf of Biden....
I've been entering what I want to find over at Duck Duck Go, and then adding -AI.
Sometimes lower case works, but UPPER case always seems to work. And others say they can eliminate the -AI when they add a swear word to the search. (!?!)
That's the US version of history.
America was named first.
United States of America later.
In Spanish and other languages, America still refers to the continent - from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.
Usians just stole the name of the continent, and that's a fact.
Fun fact: Amerigo is the name of the previous horse of Sinterklaas in the Dutch TV show Sinterklaasjournaal (who have also done a lot of work to steer the country away from the blackface thing, although I think in the time of Amerigo the Pieten were still black).
the Maya people referred to the Gulf of Mexico as "Chactemal" other indigenous groups likely had their own names for the body of water, but much of this nomenclature was lost due to European colonization.
I went with duck duck go but might switch to Mozilla just to see if I like it better, since they are non-profit. Using Waze for GPS directions but I haven’t looked into the company yet.
Mozillas money is mostly at the end of the day thanks to google. I'd suggest brave if you're a non pixel user. Waze is owned by google. But unless you can handle a massive downgrade in features google has the best choices. If you can handle it try out Organic Maps it's FOSS.
Brave runs on Chromium. It is completely at Google’s mercy (and suffers from it) like other Chrome forks. Firefox is open source too, you can literally download a fork if you don’t like Mozilla.
Organic Maps is ok, Osmand is better but the curve is crazier. Apple Maps tbh is a safer bet (osm data)
There’s a lot more on the site to check out but not everything needs to be for everyone. Either go at your pace or settle with what you like for what you need.
I'm a graphene user so I use vanadium. But I'd say for the average user who isn't on graphene there's really only so much you can do but I agree on brave. Definitely a good read for people. And really I couldn't stand osmand I found it was very good but very awkward to use
I should have known by the link title that is my bad lol my apologies. I'd see if organic is in the app store worth a shot. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea. enjoy your evening. If you ever end up on Android feel free to message me any questions!

Because it's open source there are also likely many other apps and services built off of it that can modify and improve it, If you don't like this particular app
Agree with the kneeler issue to. I hear Denmark petitioned to buy California and the Illinois Governor has asked kneeler Google to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois.

Seattle would be an archipelago. I looked.

Mickey deserves better
Also, where would you find 50 meters more sea level’s worth of water? That’s A LOT of water!!
We were promised we would not have a change in name.
Gulf of Mexico &
(Golfe du Mexique)*

Google search is a mess. Now I'm finding AI answers in places below the blasted AI Overview box

North America, Central America, South America. Canada is NOT America but is part of the continent.

According to the bill
It’s only the golf of America until the tip of Florida then revert back to the golf Mexico

(Apologies to all Uzbek people if I messed up the translation.)
It's also Open source, and crowd sourced. If anything bad happens to this, someone could just make a copy that reverts the changes.
Middle finger to Trump, and middle finger to Google for being a fucking kneeler
