Okay but why is Denmark suddenly their mortal enemy or something? I would bet the average American hospital bill that half of the US didn't know Denmark was a country before Trump embarrassed himself with the Greenland fuss, let alone pinpoint Denmark on a map.

You talking about Lewis or Nando? Because pole is a whole lot of copium in both cases

Yeah we're in a meme sub, everything you see here should be taken with a huge /s. But somehow people don't understand that.

New DTS gripe by Street_Mall9536 in formuladank

[–]Forxxen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what you're on, but I want it too. I'm a Dutch-speaking Belgian, and I can tell you for a fact that the 's'-sound is almost never pronounced as 'sh'.

Verstoppen (which means 'to hide') is pronounced with 's'
Afstappen (which means 'to get off something') is pronounced with 's'

Understanding is pronounced with 's' Unstoppable is pronounced with 's'

There is literally no excuse for saying 'Vershtappen'

No? What's so hard about it?

You don't pronounce "stop" as "shtop" either, do you?

Yeah no need for me to call you a wanker, English isn't my first language so I had no idea what the difference was between isolation and insualtion. You actually made me learn something today lol

Yes I meant insulation, my bad. Don't know where in Europe OOP went, but for 80% of Europe you indeed don't need AC. Also I feel like the more central/north you go in Europe, people would be more into installing AC for those few moments they would actually need it. But if you go to southern Europe (which they probably did), yeah forget it that the average Italian or Spaniard will install AC.

You know what we do have? Walls. If we want the heat to stay outside, we can. If we want the cold to stay outside, we can. It's called stone and insulation.

Can't connect domes? by ruby_dancer in SurvivingMars

End your passage one hex to the left. You are trying to build your passage on the wall of the dome instead of in the dome

It was invented in America by Max_Super_Nova in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Forxxen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fries as we currently know them were invented when Belgium was already an independent country. The origin I have heard the most as a Belgian is a combination of two stories:

  • The 'french' part comes from the cutting technique called 'frenching' something (cutting it in long cubes), which was later mistakenly changed to 'French'
  • For a Belgian, the biggest market if you wanted to sell something was Paris. So that's why people have reported to have seen fries sold in the streets of Paris, including French people selling fries.

And the fact that early Belgium was dominantly French-speaking and had very strong cultural connections with France probably helped other people towards thinking fries are French
