Accidental Trans Flag spotted on TERF Island

I like to imagine someone intentionally designed the color coding around the UK results just to troll the transphobes.

The Netherlands:
Very unlikely to give you food, very likely to send you a request for reimbursement if you are

Receiving a €0,65 tikke for the coffee in my friend’s flat.

"I had a black coffee. To account for not adding milk, please adjust the tikkie to €0,60. Thanks"

the other word for guest is not-yet-sold-as-a-slave in swedish. true story.

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Have you even seen lutefisk? Offering that to guests would probably scare them away. This is also why the English usually don't offer food either. Imagine going into someone's house and being offered "spotted dick" or some such ridiculous nonsense.

Imagine being offered a baby's head from someone from great Yarmouth

This is also why the English usually don't offer food either.

Rumor has it that Gordon Ramsay is so angry because he hasn't recovered from the childhood trauma of being raised eating English food.

Interesting if you overlay the "wash hands after using the bathroom" infographic...

Netherlands in shambles

Turkey is the only safe bet, anywhere else it's either starvation or an E. coli infection

Iceland sneaking up on France

I like how the "SWIPE FOR MORE INFO" is perfectly inside Ukraine.

As far as the west goes: once again the celts seem to be alright.

Want to say Italy too, but judging by Mussolini…yeah no wonder the Bible roasted us so hard lmao.

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Tbh the italians did ended up killing mussolini themselfs. The problem is that they didn't killed the rest of the fascists.

[–] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

They only did that because he tried to ban pasta

[–] Kefla@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

They didn't even finish off the fascist mussolinis, truly a half-assed job

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A weather related cultural phenomenon perhaps? The hottest countries seem to be the most likely to share food?

Martin Luther strikes again

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

posting "Feeding guests is for losers, actually"

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

the parents named him after lutherfisk, another true story that euros won't tell you. that's why he was so obsessed with poop texture.

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Always a safe bet

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've talked to Scandinavian who said that post was BS. Yes Scandinavians are more standoffish and private but if you're over at their place they offer you food, and alcohol. Actually they're kinda aggressive about the later one.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Norwegian here, the person you talked to was right.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Yeah!

Anyway, want a beer?

[–] gramxi@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

is this only meals or does it include snacks and drinks?

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think this mostly include meals, I heard that is quite common for people in England to share tea with a visitor or a friend.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 14 points 2 months ago

Oh yeah "Let me put some tea on for you" is stereotypical

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tea the drink or tea the meal????????

It's a number 9 burger King foot lettuce with fries

[–] LeonTreatsky@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Any time I've been in any of the red zones I've been offered food as a guest. At least one country in the red zone has a custom of paying for your coffee/lunch if they invite you out.

That said I can't vouch for the Dutch and most of the time I expect then to act more like doppelgangers than real human creatures.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do the Dutch even have food? Can't think of a single Dutch food item.

[–] Shelena@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Stroopwafels and Gouda cheese

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And uhhh, vague almond flavoured stuff?

[–] Umechan@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

And frite sauce too. I refuse to eat fries with ketchup now that I know how superior frite sauce is.

There's also their colonialist appropriations like rijsttafel, which is basically Indonesian food served in smaller tapas-like portions.

[–] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

I feel like I'm going crazy because there's a strange landmass in the Cantabrian Sea that no-one seems to be mentioning
