    I may be stupid but I don’t understand what this image is trying to communicate to me. It just looks like a line between two islands with a bunch of nonsensical words to me.

        I see… but I still don’t get the joke.

        It’s like saying Austria and Australia have similar names you but just gotta change the letters a bit.

            To be fair, the oz version does appear to have potential
