This is a quality anti-meme.
Right? I was very confused until I saw where I was. Good shitpost.
Could someone explain this to me?
There is no joke. The “H” and “S” are silent in the name Rhode Island.
Also it rhymes. I think…
Is that… really it? Just a complaint about silent letters, straight from someone’s first English class?
There is a common joke: “I live in Spain but the S is silent.” This is an anti joke variant of that

Bruh maybe I’m dumb.
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.
Silent letters are so extravegant.
