It has never really been explained why it is being renamed. What's next? Ooh I shouldn't even go there...

Because someone believes that semantic tricks are going to sidestep the drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico by renaming it. That would be like saying that since Melanjia Knavs got married and changed her name, she didn’t actually work in the US without a visa.

🤣🤣🤣 While we're at it, let's just change the name of our country to Trumprica. Get out your sharpies.

Why is Google bending the knee to evil? Wasn't their original mantra: do no harm?

“Don’t be evil.” They abandoned that years ago, when the choice was between not being evil and not being billionaires.

Hey @googlesearch.bsky.social this is dumb. Not slightly dumb. Not even a medium-sized level of dumb. This is a tremendous level of idiocy at a new depth you've never reached before. This is moronic.

If I see any grown ass adult say this dumb ass BS, I'm going to troll them ruthlessly. Do I care if I hurt feelings over it? Nope. Is it bullying? Yep. Do you deserve it? Also yes for going along w/this dumb ass BS. And I will encourage the rest around me to participate. Ffs, don't say this.

That headline should be rewritten to read: Google Maps to rewrite "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" *FOR ALL THE SUPER STUPID, UNEDUCATED TRUMP VOTERS* (in lieu of: for U.S. users). Those of us w/an education above 8th grade are able to find The Gulf on a map & DON'T NEED IT LABELED ILLEGALLY

Stuff google

A couple of great bumper stickers would simply be : Denali Gulf of Mexico

I'm sure grocery prices will come down after this incredible, insurmountable blow to the map.

It will always be the Gulf of Mexico to me. Why should google be able to do this

Fuck them!

Wow! Just wow!

I am so sick of this garbage. Why do we have to entertain this geriatric toddler with the emotional intelligence of a gnat?

Yep. And I'm going to ruthlessly troll any adults that go along with this dumb BS. Is it bullying? Yes. Do I care especially in this timeline? Nope lol. I can't with this lol. This is my new pet peeve.

I LOVE your avatar!! ❤️❤️

❤️

I will never call the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America. Americans did not discover it, Americans did not settle the coast of the Gulf at first. Really seems simple.

All this BS and egg prices are higher than ever.

Time to use a VPN

How the hell are we supposed to trust directions from a map app that doesn’t do geography? @googlemap.bsky.social

Bullshit!

No thanks Google we would prefer the truth

Fuck google and their 💩 maps. Waze all the way.

I hope the next president renames the “Gulfie Gulf McGulf-face

A better and more appropriate name from the U.S.!

No! Don't change anything!

You can always leave a review... The new management should be given feedback 😉

Welp, back to Apple Maps

I won’t be calling it that.

Google Maps, deleted.

Just for US users... I'm sure Google could just target this to whatshisname and his maga morons and we could all be happy.

Fuck Google

So fuckin Stupid. Will never call it that.

Yep and I'm going to troll any adults that do this ruthlessly and I do not care if it's bullying. And I'm going to invite others to join in lol. This is a new pet peeve.

'meriKKKa.

Yep 😂. I can't with this. If it means losing my account over the trolling, so be it lol.

Yeah, Sucky Zucky and Fucky Musky will be all over that shit. Like Fat Nazi's on White Rice.

Dammit @googlesearch.bsky.social you're going is push me to use Bing or Firefox. I hate Bing. I hate you for this lol

Holy fuck. One man just waves his pen and the whole world has to just accept it. This world is a nightmare.

No. I will cease any usage.

Truth

That’s just stupid as hell

So happy to hear that THIS is what the orange excuse for a piece of excrement is focusing on, instead of lowering grocery prices, for instance. Not that he could've done the latter, really--that was just another of his campaign "promises".

We need an extension to correct it to Gulf of Mexico asap. Better yet would be if the extension corrects names of places to their Indigenous names as well.

NO
