This is a quality anti-meme.
Right? I was very confused until I saw where I was. Good shitpost.
I spent too long trying to figure out what the message was lmao
I’ll be honest that it got me too. Which is why I had to share it.
I’m still failing at understanding…
The ‘H’ and ‘S’ in Rhode Island are already silent, so it really is a meme saying that they live in Rhode Island
It’s a subversion of the “I live in Spain, but the ‘S’ is silent” joke
Ah. Knowing they were silent already, I didn’t get the joke… Thanks for taking pity!
Could someone explain this to me?
There is no joke. The “H” and “S” are silent in the name Rhode Island.
Is that… really it? Just a complaint about silent letters, straight from someone’s first English class?
I don’t think it’s a complaint. It’s an anti-joke.
Ahhh, I forgot about anti-jokes
Does that make it a triple entendre? I’m lost…
I personally thought the joke was going to be the r and the D are silent so it would be hoe island.
rhode island is the joke
I must be drunk or something because I read that as “Rhode Ireland”. Lol.
Also it rhymes. I think…
There is a common joke: “I live in Spain but the S is silent.” This is an anti joke variant of that
Ah okay, thanks!

Why english?
Some years ago when I was learning english I was very worried about my accent, after years and more advanced English I just don’t fucking care, cause seems nobody fucking cares about this language quality anyway. You write things and read like you fucking want. Quality meme thoYou write things and read like you fucking want
That’s the last lesson you have to learn before becoming fluent in English, especially American English. If you put a Cajun, a Yankee, a Brit and an Australian in the same room, despite all four of them allegedly speaking the same language you’ll be lucky to communicate more than a sentence or two between the lot of them.
There are certain rules to be followed in English but a solid 45% or more of our “rules” are more like “subtext” and can be freely ignored, changed, or customized based on location and current company.
As for the “Why, English?” that’s because English is a stolen mishmash hodgepodge of 14 different languages where we took the cool and useful words and bastardized them into unrecognizability. English more than any other is a patchwork language. We didn’t invent shit, merely reappropriated other people’s words in true classic English fashion.
Rahode is land

Do people really not now how to pronounce these words or are the upvotes ironic?
Bruh maybe I’m dumb.
Rode Iland
It used to be called Rhide Island until grandma’s visit in 1935…
And it’s not an island.
I think originally it was rhode island and Providence plantations. Rhode island was Newport (island) and the plantations were providence, kings, and kent. But yeah Rhode island referred to the actual island. Then it became a state and eventually dropped half its name
Even more confusing, the island was originally named Aquidneck Island and is still called that by locals despite the name being officially Rhode Island.
Rahode Issland
Pffft imagine naming a place after a chicken 😂
Ah the beautiful community of ITPOTING
It’s pronounced “rodes island”?
Explain it to me like I’m not an American.
I think it’s talking about the s in Island. It’s road Island
I think you have it and I hope the memes get better soon 😆
