I don't just deadname people and things. I newname them as well.
Triborough Bridge
Donald Drumpf. His family changed their last name from Drumpf.
We know.
The Pan Am Building.
Don’t care who buys it, or if it’s been demolished or moved or replaced or whatever. It’s still Mile High Stadium.
Facebook to Meta at least makes sense. They didn't change the product name; they just separated the company running the website from the website. And I mean, let's be real... Facebook is a stupid name for a conglomerate.
Everyone seems to forget that Google did exactly the same thing with Alphabet... And then continued to just keep putting all their products under the Google name anyway
Facebook doesn't even let you do what it was originally intended for. Judging other people's worth solely on looks.
I think they moved that to Instagram
what's Heinz field
Apparently Acrisure Stadium in Pennsylvania.
Here I was thinking someone renamed an obscure physics thing I didn't know about.
It's also the name for the force that keeps ketchup in the bottle. You've got to overcome the Heinz Field before it will come out, and that will inevitably end up with more ketchup than you wanted.
How about the Tappan Zee bridge in NYC?
What are they trying to call it?
I think they renamed it after Mario Cuomo?
