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.

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

Here I was thinking someone renamed an obscure physics thing I didn't know about.

How about the Tappan Zee bridge in NYC?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

What are they trying to call it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

I think they renamed it after Mario Cuomo?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Golf or rat penis?

If someone calls it X I’ll call it twitter but if somebody still is on there calling it Twitter then I’ll insist on calling it X. You can’t fool yourself, you are still on Elon Musk’s X.

It's still called "the Gulf of Mexico."

Some dumb bully gave it a dumb nickname and they're acting like he legally changed it's birth certificate.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

It is not a country. So there is nothing like a UN defined name. So no one can force any country to name it the way they want. Don't think it's Trump decision Maybe the U.S. Board on Geographic Names?

Like you call it Persian Gulf, other countries call it Gulf of Arabia, and Turkey actually even calls it Gulf of Basra. (Btw, you legally have to call it Türkiye nowadays. It actually "changed it's birth certificate" at the UN. Doubt you care about that.)

Do you call it the "Gulf of America"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 minutes ago* (last edited 11 minutes ago)

Nope. In non of my languages is that the official name. But tbf, I am not sure if I ever called it anything. It is quite far away from here.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

What did I miss? I haven't heard anything about a new name.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump tried to rename the gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America.

It's pretty funny tbh, I'm waaaay too politically fatigued to get bent out of shape over things like that.
