“It was just a joke!”

Oh, I don’t get it. Can you explain to me what the joke is? Like, can you put into words why you find that funny?

[–] tino@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I don't understand the joke because everybody knows the trash island (not an island btw, you cannot walk on it) is in the Pacific Ocean, and Puerto Rico is on the Atlantic Ocean, so it's inaccurate. I mean... geography is important, otherwise, you could do the joke with any island in the world and as a French, I would of course pick Great Britain.

(ok, that would be funny, then)
