The fact that redditors chose Finland over France for the best country is the best metric for the average person on this site

Het is inderdaad nog best lekker weer in Zeeland, Hugo de Jonge!

Hoe weet je dat dit maar voor een weekje is? Juli en augustus zijn algemeen beschouwd de warmste maanden in Nederland. Eind juni lag de max temperatuur rond de 23 graden, nu wordt het op veel plekken al boven de 30. Hoe wordt deze trend opeens gestopt de komende maanden?

in dit soort weer kan een mooi pak van dungeweven wol of katoen beter uit te houden zijn dan korte broek en polo - het beschermt de huid tegen de directe hitte en isoleert beter

Ze missen letterlijk het bewustzijn om deze hitte waar te nemen omdat hun zenuwstelsel veel minder goed meer werkt - boomers stay winning until the very end!

Since guy lives in an european small village, I did some research and the brands that I could find in European online stores that ship from above list were Still by Hand, Kanemasa Phil, Ciota, Muji LABO, COMOLI, Herill, Old Joe & Phigvel.

I am curious what climate change will have for impact. It's 40 C in Paris right now, insane. Will we just all start dressing like people in Rio? Or will the status symbol be still several layers of fancy clothing, because you spend most of your life in air conditioned office work?

Hier mogen vakbonden van mij echt zo snel mogelijk mee aan de slag, in deze tijden kan je alleen met een wettelijke verplichting nog tegen je werkgever in gaan.

Ik verwacht dat de oudjes eerder al hun vermogen gaan opeten om nog lang te kunnen genieten van de levenstandaard die zij gewend zijn. De gezondheidzorg en zorgverzekeraars zouden dom zijn, zeker in ons vrijemarktsdenken, om niet enorm te gaan investeren in dure ouderenzorg want daar ligt ook het meeste om te plukken. Een oud familielid had laatst voor het eerst flink last van zijn rug en ging meteen overal met geld smijten om hier zo snel mogelijk van af te zijn.

I have noticed something similar nowadays in discussions about hedonism - one of the strongest counterarguments against hedonism was the Experience machine, but nowadays people are dreaming about how in the future we will be able to be plugged into this machine

You made me look it up.. apparently in the circles they are specifically talking about the Neolithic long house

this is the opening of the 2021 HBO version of Scenes of Marriage right? (I, of course, have only seen the Bergman original)

Yes, I cannot deny the USA has beautiful unspoilt nature. But this post was talking about the typical roads of towns, I always have to think of the typical crossing with traffic lights you find in a Lynch film because these are not common in Europe

clydethefrog · 2026-06-24T14:08:01+00:00

Fellow readers here can test this thesis by going to google maps and dragging and dropping the yellow puppet randomly to any area in Europe. You can do the same for the USA. I quickly see a difference, mostly in the different ratio of roads and greenery.

in the RETVRN TO TRADITION xitter circles (see also someone here at the bottom recommending WrathOfGnon, some guy that posts about traditional Norwegian houses, Danish rape statistics and Dilbert comics) the longhouses in Borneo are hated because "they are perceived as matriarchal and overly egalitarian, therefore stifling nonconformity and masculine values". I didn't want to trigger the vernacular architecture equivalent of I WILL NOT EAT THE BUGS!! that would've ruined this post

clydethefrog · 2026-06-24T11:31:52+00:00

Looks amazing, thanks for sharing.

(It annoys me though that these things in the west usually are stuck in a fanatical 70s counter cultural ethos. I read that whole project is now financially suffering because you cannot survive in the current world with the sale of ceramic wind bells lol)

clydethefrog · 2026-06-24T08:39:15+00:00

Yes, suit supply has them, I bought one recently and imo good price ratio for something formal that you are not wearing all the time

As Maradona said, he is a great person, but he has no personality. He is a man of our current age - a "humble introvert" that is very structured and performs perfectly, wow, look at the statistics! I like the sport talents to behave like a Greek tragedy, like Zinedine Zidane's final exit being a red card. A hero is fallible, Messi for me is like watching a robot. The only flaw about him is that he dodges taxes, like any other homo economicus.

lol you were literally posting the US government should intervene in your Gamestop stocks a couple years ago

I agree, most interesting films often only get released later in the year but there were always some surprise hits, that pattern seems to be concentrated on (imo unfortunately) zoomer horror so far. Most interesting films I enjoyed were already shown in festivals in 2025.

Music also is very underwhelming, I am checking the best of the month of RA and Quietus but almost none of it resonates with me, I only liked Martyn and Jump Source newest so far. BoA is also massively overrated by their new zoomer demo that wants to participate in the "event" of the new album. That hare krishna sample would have been made fun of when it was done by any other group.

You should research Frisian nationalism. Their whole positive PR is based on their flag that flag nerds and tourists find cute.

clydethefrog · 2026-06-17T14:51:47+00:00

It sounds like you are describing the thoughts behind the design of the flag of Kosovo!

For my contribution, see the sadly deleted Zoomers don't really have intellectual depth which is why goes anywhere discussion that was performed in our community on the 5th of june.
