A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Trump told supporters at Wednesday's rally in South Carolina that he asked Google CEO Sundar Pichai to suggest renaming either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean the “Trump Ocean,” but was told it could not because oceans span numerous countries.
Unlike gulfes or lakes.
Yeah, but that's just Mexico and Canada, and who cares about them?? /s
I don't hate many people.
But I absolutely hate this motherfucker.
Google says they can't do it because it borders multiple countries. Didn't stop them from changing the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.
I hope The Onion doesn't go bankrupt because of Trump, since they can't even get a satirical article made because everything real is currently on the level of satire
Oh that's nothing. Wait until he "renames" earth to "trump" or some dumbass shit.
There are far too many people who would enthusiastically go along with that.
There's something wrong with a lot of people where they just really want to submit to the group and its authority figure.
pedo troll say what
Sometimes the smarter move is to continue giving a fool the rope he's asking for...
In this case, I think Google should absolutely humor him, but say an EO is needed to make it happen.
He just keeps escalating demands until he's stopped.
Sounds like the behaviour of a very public rapist
If you read the article text, he's telling people at a rally that he asked Google's CEO to do it and they said no.
Now, I'd take anything Trump says about deals and interactions with anyone else with a large grain of salt, as he's pretty flagrantly lied in the past, but even if taken at face value, he's saying that his request didn't go through.
First he asks, then he posts on social media and then makes an executive order.
And he still hasn't been introduced to a guillotine?
you mean a Trumpotine? :>
"I thought you meant Trump Poutine! A delicious snack, some people are calling it the best...". <Ssshhbbb chonk! Roll...>
Next he will rename China to America 2.
I'd propose "mainland Taiwan"
No more "America". No more "Freedom". Now it is all "trump" all the time!
I'm typing this from my trump phone on my trump mattress using my trump internet connection from the city trump, state trump.
Keeping up with me?
"The Atlantic borders other countries"???
And the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario don't...?
Renaming something on one of the most popular globes in the world IS effectively renaming it and the fact some of you think God is naming things and can’t be undermined is a real problem in your thinking.
I think we should name way more things after him: The Donald J. Trump Dump and the Donald J. Trump-Chicken Farm. Trump-Diarrhea though this might also be the Robert F. Kennedy Diarrhea. A Ship being hit with a mine shall be known as a Trump-Maneuver. Going bankrupt is just "Trumping".
'Trumping' already means 'breaking wind' in the uk.
For real? If so, DAMN.
Look the UK has its flaws but they are on point with this.
Still don't understand why it's called the Iran War and not the Trump war.
So as not to distract from the Trump Files.
I think he should get one thing named after him.
A solitary confinement cell at USP Marion can be renamed the Trump Pit.
You know, renaming random things is something obscure dictators do, only Trump isn't renaming cities or months, he's renaming oceans and seas.
How long until Trump renames Washington DC to "Trump"?
surely he would rename it to District of Trump. Washington, DT.
I'm pretty sure he does not know what the C is in DC or he would have renamed it already to A(merica)
I had to look it up, "District of Columbia", I just thought it was "District City", like New York City but with district for some reasons.... yeah...
Trump doesn't like DAs, though.
Newsweek isn't a reliable source, in particular not as a single source. Be wary.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/22/trump-atlantic-ocean-rename-google
Reliable or not, the Orange himself bragged about it few days ago
I would argue he is also very much not a reliable source, but your point is taken, and in today's world it's becoming increasingly difficult to know what a reliable source even means.
... I am yelling at people to do their due diligence, not doubt fact.
Using outlets that report non factually when they do will build trust for when they misinform.
Good on you for being aware of and caring about such things and for spreading the word about it! Keep fightin' the good fight! :)
When Google and Apple immediately rolled over on command and changed the last two names (Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario) they had to know this would only encourage him and lead to things like this.
That's what you get for bowing to trump on Lake Ontario and the Mexican Golf. The orange turd will assume he can ask you to do anything for him.
Damn, I didn't know Mexico had its own kind of golf.
The game is played exactly the same, it’s just that the grass of the golf course is sepia-coloured rather than green.
Toddler-in-Chief
We call it the EPSTEIN OCEAN ,deep and dark
Also the probable location of the Epstein files when they are "released".
Why not rename Earth to Trump ?
Instead of Ohio?
