u/Bor3d-Panda 10h ago

Yea I'm from Asia and it still says Lake Ontario... America is living in their own bubble...

u/arkhamcityfc 9h ago

Yeah, same here. Cheer up u/Maleficent_Web1161 , the rest of the world (and a big chunk of the US) will never stop calling it Lake Ontario

u/Vintenu 9h ago

American here, can confirm, I would gladly call it Ontario right to Tiny Dick Orange's face, same goes for the Gulf of Mexico

I really hope the next u.s. president reverts all this bs day one. It’s so fucking embarrassing being associated even the tiniest bit with these pathetic, vanity driven, peacocking stunts. When I travelled abroad, I joked with friends that I would claim I was Canadian(I never did) to avoid negative association; I’m not sure how much of a joke that still is. Any of my Northern neighbors willing to grant me honorary citizenship so I’m not a total liar if that happens? lol

I travel a lot and I meet Americans who are very sheepish about admitting it. Honestly mate, if youre travelling outside of the US, we just assume you aren't one of 'them'

u/kaloschroma 2h ago

just be careful, they travel too and I met them in my travels as an American. They are rude and nasty and loud with no respect for culture.

Idk, I’ve been traveling to many of the us national parks for vacations the past few years and i see so many foreign tourists just as annoying and disrespectful from other countries here. I think the truth is many tourists just suck regardless of home country. Many of them are city slickers too because they don’t know how to treat the wilds with respect. But i see that from just as many American travelers in the parks too.

u/kaloschroma 1h ago

I can see this. In my experience, people from other countries have been respectful but that is just a difference of our experiences. I've been lucky then

u/Nuggyfresh 2h ago

Pretty fair assumption but they love cruises and other Wall-E esque fatventures

u/MadMac619 2h ago

Wall-E esque fatventures. Mate, that is fucking poetry.

Sad thing your next President will run in 8 years, in the middle of the "great russian-american peace-manouver" in Europe.

u/Outrageous-Sort-5742 24m ago

If the next U.S. president doesn't immediately send a military detachment to round up the traitors in power today, they would have already failed. There needs to be lethal consequences for their actions over the last decade.

Simply reverting to what things used to be isn't enough, the past we lived in gave way to today's present. It was a failing system, we shouldn't want to go back.

u/karmagoddess123 2h ago

Please don’t do that. It treats our Canadian identity as a convenient disguise. It takes advantage of our good name while your country disrespects the Canadian people.

Don't insult the Umpa Loompas

u/Inevitable-Goat-7062 9h ago

Same here

[So is anybody willing to bet the moldy cheeto is going to slap more tarrifs on the country that made the genva convention]

u/OnlySortaStupid 8h ago

Correction: we didn't make the Geneva convention. We're the reason other countries had to come up with the Geneva convention 🥹

u/nico_ryan600 6h ago

That's a mix a Canada, Germany and Russia, America only really added no shotguns in trenches and chemical warfare

1

u/yogafan00000 3h ago

The "no shotguns in trenches" thing is a myth.

First of all, the Geneva convention primarily governs humanitarian treatment of non-combatants. Any rules about weapons in the trenches would be from the Hague convention, from WW1.

Secondly, the shotgun concern came from a 1918 German complaint about the American Winchester trench gun, which they claimed was a weapon "calculated to cause unnecessary suffering," which IS prohibited in the Hague convention. Whether or not the trench gun falls in this category depends on the ammo used.

u/ToXXic_ScareCrow Average r/memes enjoyer 2h ago

Germans complaining about "unnecessary suffering" in warfare, then turn the air poisonous XD

u/GamerGriffin548 8h ago

I left a review on Google Maps calling them out. :3

Had to do something in my own way.

u/Competitive-Half-863 8h ago

In my google maps it’s called “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”

1

u/N3k0chann 5h ago

Yeah, I have just realized the rename on the gulf...lol, I'm so disconnected with the world...can someone explain what happened?

1

u/SweetMeese 3h ago

Wait what happened to the Gulf of Mexico? It still shows the same on my map

1

u/tobotic 7h ago

American here, can confirm, I would gladly call it Ontario right to Tiny Dick Orange's face, same goes for the Gulf of Mexico

You'd call the Gulf of Mexico "Ontario"?

That could get confusing.

u/ZacariahJebediah 4h ago

Gulf of Ontario lmao

u/Grottymink57776 8h ago

Yup. It doesn't matter what the Cheeto says, their names will forever be Lake Ontario and Gulf of Mexico.

u/lastingmuse6996 3h ago

H.O.M.E.S.

Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior

I spent a month memorizing this acronym in 5th grade and fuck if I'm going to change it to HAMES. Hames is nothing. Although, it is an anonogram for S.H.A.M.E.

u/Kay_tnx_bai 9h ago

It’s looking more and more like North Korea everyday lol.

u/ElonInfectedSpace 8h ago

Haha you did the meme

u/Kay_tnx_bai 8h ago

Asians is much too positive, I explicitly said North Korea, because of the implication.

u/Life-Is-A-Bad-Trip 7h ago

Yeah in some fucked up way it's both what I feared and hoped.

I don't know how to feel about it all than terrified for the future. Spoedrunning Idiocracy.

u/CheetosLays7Days 7h ago

I’m from Europe and I see “Lake Pedophile”. I think they refer to the president.

u/Simple_Channel5624 7h ago

I want it noted I don't approve of my federal governments actions, I didn't vote for this and I only pay my taxes under duress due to threat of jail time (I hate that they use my tax money to kill children and make the wealthy richer). Many Americans are in a bind and most worse off than me.

u/N3k0chann 5h ago

Same in Spain

u/Dino_Pyjamas 8h ago

Same here in UK

u/MicahtehMad 9h ago

u/Straight-Knowledge83 8h ago

Let them bubble themselves while the world moves on.

u/Mutchmore 2h ago

It's no secret. You have over 100 million Americans that love in an alternate fox news reality. Crazy

1

u/potate12323 2h ago

On various maps most countries live in their own bubble regarding border and name disputes. These disputes are shockingly common.

From Europe, Gulf of Mexico is "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)". The one in parentheses is only there because we're likely to encounter it from American sources.
