Y'all live in the CUMZONE while I live in the CANT (China Australia New Zealand Tasmania) zone

Me sitting here horrified about the inevitable "Pangaea Proxima" forcing us all to live in the CANTCUM-zone

Depends on your outlook. Tassie is a part of Oz, so you live in the CAN zone! (=

Meanwhile, Scandinavia is just the DNS zone, I guess? 🤷

Norway, Sweden, Finland: NSF (a.k.a. Not safe for)

(NSFD) Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark (not safe for Denmark)

I'll allow the inclusion of Finland and the exclusion of my native Denmark this one time because that's EXCELLENT 😄

Sure, if you're picking and choosing. United States of America is the formal name, while the other 2 are informal. Canada is Dominion of Canada and Mexico is United Mexican States. So it should be either CAM or DUU if you're being consistent.

If you're being pedantic, at least be correct. Canada hasn't formally or informally been called the Dominion of Canada in any internal context since 1951.

1867 British North America Act (aka Constitution Act): "one Dominion under the name of Canada". It was a last minute change from "Kingdom" to "Dominion" to avoid a hypothetical diplomatic incident with the US. It was never the official name, only a title. Official documents were allowed to use either, for a period, but it was never the formal name.

The last vestiges were the renaming of "Dominion Day" to "Canada Day" in 1982. Any use of the name "Dominion of Canada" is now either archaic, ironic, or a hypercorrection.

Fine, CUU then.

Actually neither are official names, unlike USA. The United Nations use the three in the meme.

You think that's bad, just wait for the 2026 world cup. CUM will be everywhere!
