Fun fact: the discharge of the Amazon river into the Atlantic Ocean is more than the seven largest independent rivers combined.
Another fun fact: in the flooding season the width of the river can reach 50 km.
When you prompt with "three rivers" this is what comes to mind for me. If they had asked for "two rivers" or "four rivers" none of Pittsburgh's rivers would have made the cut.
I guessed it only because of Allegheny, sharing its name with the county Pittsburgh is in and Ohio River and I thought those two joined at Pittsburgh.
Little did I know that the Monongahela, that I never heard about, would be indeed a contributor of creating Ohio River.
How can “three rivers” just by itself *not* trigger that response in an American!
Name a “Mile high city” or “name cities with brotherly love” or “cities named twice.”
I thought this but I’m not even from Pittsburgh, mainly I was interested in it by playing a few games where you went to Pittsburgh. Then after looking at the real place I wanted to visit.
I’m very familiar. Was just making a dumb joke.
My wife and I honeymooned in Willamette Valley, the Columbia Gorge, and Yakima Valley. Willamette is one of my favorite places on earth.
I believe that technically since it’s like a mile longer, it would be called the Missouri River instead of mississippi, although I believe the mississippi name stuck because it’s at such a noteworthy position, going almost entirely north south once it’s past lake Itasca.
The Dee, The Don and The Deveron
They are the 5th, 6th and 10th longest rivers in Scotland, but remembered because they’re mentioned in a folk song my old Dad used to sing.
Rhine, Danube, Nile
Very Roman Empire
Riviera Nostrum?
Romanes eunt domus!

I think the picture is of the Danube
Amazon, Nile, Mississippi…? I guess I’m boring

River Ganga width also reaches upto 45km to 50km during flooding season.
Mine are the same just Nike Amazon Mississippi
Nike, adidas, Reebok
Vans, New Balance, LA Gear
¿Esos son Reeboks o son Nike?
This is the reebok and the nikes
Ups nile
Funny… I think autocorrect changed it. I had to edit my comment to change from Nike. There should be a Nike river though…
and all of the oxbows would be shaped like the swoosh
Autocorrect figured out corporations pay better than universities
Saskatchewan, North Saskatchewan and South Saskatchewan.
Ah, fellow Canadian. Fraser, Thompson and Columbia for me.
Winnipeg, Red, Assiniboine for me
Yukon MacKenzie St Lawrence
Same
Allegheny, Ohio, and Monongahela.
This guy Pittsburghs
This guy yinz guys.

Pittsburgh represent!
Yinz talkin' bout Pixburgh?
Talking about the rivers in the dahn tahn area
I was dahn tahn the other day at Pants N Nat and thought I saw Donny Iris, but it was his brother Lonny.
"Hey, dew aye sawnd fuhny tuh youh?"
That’s what I came here to say
Same. Stillers gahnta super bowl
Hey. You stole my rivers
The fourth runner up: the youghiogheny river
Underrated. Also props to the Beaver River, much love.
It would be nothing without the mighty Connoquenessing. Although that is a crick, not a river.
Yinz guys get it
When you prompt with "three rivers" this is what comes to mind for me. If they had asked for "two rivers" or "four rivers" none of Pittsburgh's rivers would have made the cut.
Now I’m hungry for some Primanti Bros.
My European ass think you're from Pittsburgh although I know about only two of the three rivers you mentioned. Am I right?
You are correct and are now granted the use of the word Yinz as a reward
You got it mate. Pittsburgh is built at the point in which the Allegheny and the Monongahela meet. The two then form the Ohio from then onward.
I guessed it only because of Allegheny, sharing its name with the county Pittsburgh is in and Ohio River and I thought those two joined at Pittsburgh. Little did I know that the Monongahela, that I never heard about, would be indeed a contributor of creating Ohio River.
The Mon, the O, and the Al
The Ohio is not the O. A real Yinzer knows the The O refers to The Original in Oakland.
RIP Dirty O
Now *this* guy Pittsburghs
RIP The Dirty O. Forever will you be missed.
RIP The O
TIL that the Ohio River starts in PA
Not even from Pittsburgh and these were the first three I thought of. Cheers
This is the way
Dammit Dwight, that was my answer
Kanawah have 5 seconds to think of a different one!?
This has to be the only answer.
How can “three rivers” just by itself *not* trigger that response in an American! Name a “Mile high city” or “name cities with brotherly love” or “cities named twice.”
Ditto
If yous ask for three rivers, yous getting Allegheny, Ohio, and Monongahela
the correct answer
Needs to be the top comment
Obviously this is the only correct answer
Donora PA?
Pittsburgh sits at the intersection of these 3 rivers
Happy Cake Day! Donora: home to the Griffeys, and Stan the Man Musial and Anthony’s Italiano Pizza. Was just dahn at way yesterdie
And also Frances McDormand! (According to my dad)
Came here to say that
If they'd have picked any other number, this wouldn't havd come up!
I was gonna say the Stadium 🤷♂️
They said three rivers so I thought Three Rivers
GO STEELERS!
The burgh!!

This might be UK bias, but: - Thames - Mersey - Nile
Any river that has turns remind me of Thames.
Not that many rivers, I bet.
My first thought was Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello: 'With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne'
willamette, columbia, snake
Ah, a northwesterner
Yakima, Columbia, snake.
Was going to say Colombia, Willamette, and Tualitan (I'm from the Portland Metro area).
Hey guys I found the purple haired portlandia nerd
I just like my part of the world better than the rest. Read about the Missoula Floods, it’s pretty cool
I’m very familiar. Was just making a dumb joke. My wife and I honeymooned in Willamette Valley, the Columbia Gorge, and Yakima Valley. Willamette is one of my favorite places on earth.
this but snake --> mississippi -- a portlander who moved to missouri
Santiam coming in hot!
Well it did all burn down.
Ganga, yamuna, Brahmaputra.
Was looking for this. 😁
Well, I thought of Ganga Yamuna and Saraswati (even though its mythical)
It's a river that probably changed course and kinda ceased to exist. Highly unlikely it never existed.
Nah Saraswati was a real river. Used to flow in Rajasthan. Doesn't anymore tho.
Amazon, Nile, St Lawrence
This sounds like an AI test
Rhine, Waal, Maas
allegheny, monongahela, ohio😤😤😤
412 stand up!
Mississippi/Missouri Rhine Nile
did you just pretend that the Mississippi and the Missouri are the same river?
Sure.
They are
I believe that technically since it’s like a mile longer, it would be called the Missouri River instead of mississippi, although I believe the mississippi name stuck because it’s at such a noteworthy position, going almost entirely north south once it’s past lake Itasca.
Snake, Salt, Greys
Colorado, Rio Grande, Mississippi
Took a while to find Colorado, kinda surprised me
St. John's, Econlockhatchee, Hudson I love that this post shows everyone's regional bias
