In Kentucky, between Louisville and Frankfort, there is a city called "Simpsonville" and it's right next to a city called "Shelbyville".

I just like those moments on Google Street view when there are people looking right into the Google camera.

Oh, like me? When I saw it coming and threw my arms up and stared at it as it passed.

there's some towns in austrailia that are absolutely insane. not going to list them here they are actually that bad. also not sure if they are still named what they are

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 15 points 7 months ago

This is definitely the most appropriate place to list them. Try a few at least.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

Nigger Creek is one. happy? i am not lol

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

Super annoying that they filter words here so I don't know what "removed" was referring to. Instinctively I guessed cun* but could be any number of things. Thanks anyway.

i looked it up and in 2017 they changed the name. there was actually TWO towns called that, one with North in front of it

Finland has many, but the big penis-shaped river is pretty good.

Not "crazy" per se, but west of the Mississippi, cities are set up on a grid, whereas eastern cities look like their planning was established by throwing a plate of spaghetti at a wall.

I can’t remember where it was, but I used to work at a title company. We processed a refinance on “Whiskey Dick Ln”.
