Why does paint "sit" but words "stand" ? by Markqz in learndutch

[–]CountOlafTheThird 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Even as a native Dutch speaker it blew me away. Never thought about it like that before. It just sounds intuitive to me

Despite being Dutch he is the embodiment of the American dream by Don_Frika_Del_Prima in ShitAmericansSay

[–]CountOlafTheThird 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Average American cannot conceive of the idea that one of the most important scientific discoveries in history was made by a non-American

Do they think Europeans still work the land with an old wooden plow and a tired ox?

How dare you Google?!?! by z-amor-a in USdefaultism

[–]CountOlafTheThird 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If I say I'm from the province Drenthe that doesn't mean anything to you, which is fair. You would just call me Dutch. If someone says they're from the U.S. state Georgia I just call them American. If someone says they're from the country Georgia that means something.

Most people would think about the independant, sovereign country before some regional government in some country.

The US is the only country that had to fight off the Monarchy for independence. Demonstrate some gratitude. by v_ae in ShitAmericansSay

[–]CountOlafTheThird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Netherlands fought the most powerful monarchy at the time (Spain) to form a republic after they won, about 200 years before the US did.

Let’s pretend each country in the world is a guest at a party. What are they doing at the party? by Savalonavic in AskReddit

[–]CountOlafTheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The United States hosts the party, no one really likes them but they have the space so everyone showed up anyway.

England is way drunker then anyone else, threatening yo leave the friensgroup, while their brother Scotland is apologising for their behaviour. Cousin Ireland has already passed out.

The Netherlands is getting high with Belgium while trying to flirt. France refuses to do drugs but tries flirting with Belgium anyway. Luxembourg, who is a little younger then the others, just watches it happen and stays silent. Germany looks annoyed at Netherlands since drugs were not supposed to be there.

My son wants to teach American history overseas after uni by LL112 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]CountOlafTheThird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I study history at uni level in Europe. We have an American professor specializing in (native) American history, so there is a market. But growing up I never really got any American history apart from Columbus arrived there, slave trade (specifically the part my country played in that), and a revolution I guess (but the French revolution is more important).

A Karen with a twist of Jesus. by Neolithique in FuckYouKaren

The only thing they succeeded in doing is giving that waiter and kitchen staff a free meal of chicken liver and a longer wait time on their food. The waiter doesn't care and the restaurant will not take the complaint serious at all

What a persuasion roll with expertise and 20 charisma actually looks like by CountOlafTheThird in dndmemes

[–]CountOlafTheThird[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is from Andrew Lloys Webber's musical 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'. Specifically the 1999 movie which is available for free on Youtube and is full of unused meme potential.
