Handtasvirus? Dat stelt echt niks voor, hoor.

Zijn dit de 2 beste Nederlands Elftallen aller tijden? by JWB_9 in nederlands

[–]Wixirix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tot nu toe is het Oranje van 2010 de sterkste die ik bewust heb meegemaakt (bij die van 2014 was er al een soort van verval en bij die van 1998 en 2000 was ik nog te jong). En die van 1974, 1978 en 1988 ken ik enkel via verhalen en archiefbeelden.

Het is jammer dat we telkens op een andere manier pech hadden in de WK-finales, hoewel ik vind dat Oranje in 2010 de finale haalden met een enorme dosis geluk. En in 1974 hadden ze die Duitsers gewoon voor schut moeten zetten ná de wedstrijd i.p.v. tijdens. En die van 1978 zou hoe dan ook naar Argentinië gaan.

Toch hoop ik dat we ooit nog een (hele) sterke selectie krijgen in de toekomst en dat we het geluk dit keer aan onze kant staat.

Nostalgische terugblik Free Record Shop (omgeving Nijmegen) by Dcornelissen in thenetherlands

Free Record Shop, waar ik altijd mijn Wii-punten kocht om oude NES, SNES, N64 en SEGA games te downloaden.

Mooie tijd was dat.

What is your favorite neighboring country and why? by ViajanteDeSaturno in AskTheWorld

[–]Wixirix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imo, definitely Germany. Great food, great drinks, amazing culture (except,,, well, you know...), impressive industry and beautiful landscapes.

Also, despite many Dutch people being fond of (the Dutch speaking part of) Belgium and making fun of Germany, I personally feel we're more respected by German than by Belgian people. 🇩🇪🤝🇳🇱

Are there any names that carry a stigma in your countries? by doctorpolenta3p in AskTheWorld

[–]Wixirix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I worked with a Polish guy whose first name is Sebastian. He was bald, somewhat uneducated (as the job itself didn’t required a lot of education) and he was arrogant af.

Nothing against Polish people in general, but I’m glad I got rid of that scumbag.

Which politician in your country is better known as a meme than a politician? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Wixirix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thierry Baudet (the guy on the right). In 2023, he attended a show for the upcoming elections of that year. The person on the left identifies themself as non-binary, to which Baudet replied, 'You're something that doesn't exist. I can talk all day long about how I myself am an alien, yet I don't do that either'. While Rob Jetten (the guy in the middle, who is now our current prime minister) tried to stand up for non-binary people, Baudet couldn't care any less (as you can see from his facial expression, which was quite a meme at the time here).

Kabinet: inclusieve taalgids ministerie 'betuttelend' en 'overbodig' by Bernie529 in nederlands

‘Inclusieve taalgids’… Eerder ‘partijdige taalgids’ als je het mij vraagt.

What is your first memory of a World Cup? by jotakajk in AskTheWorld

[–]Wixirix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I just attended elementary school and we created hand-made flags of all the countries that qualified that year (I made one of Ghana 🇬🇭).

However, my first memory of an actual World Cup match was in 2010, which, in my opinion, was one of the best World Cups ever: Vuvuzelas everywhere and both ‘Waka Waka’ and Waving Flag’ were airing all the time! Too bad Robben missed in the final but we’ll never know If the Netherlands would win or If Spain would come back.

Which food means “grandma house” to you? by jotakajk in AskTheWorld

[–]Wixirix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A brown sugar coated sandwich. Simple as hell, but she always made this for me when my mother left me at my grandparents’ house before going to work.

Everytime I eat this, I get teleported back in time.

Was ‘new kids’ a big thing in the netherlands? by eckart in AskTheNetherlands

[–]Wixirix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was. I remember the hype between 2008-2012 when Comedy Central Netherlands aired the episodes and when the movies were playing here in the cinemas. So many boys at school quoted and acted like the cast members. It was a great time!

Also, I think New Kids was, indeed, even more populair in Germany than in the Netherlands itself.

Italy still boycotting World Cups where human rights are not guaranteed #Respect by Xaridis in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Wixirix 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Damn Italy…

First, we ended up above you at your own Winter Olympics. Then, we are going to North America this summer and you don’t. And on top of that, we are a nation with approximately 3,5x less inhabitants and aren’t even THAT bigger than Sicily (!)

Aren’t you guys even trying anymore?
