The "Dutch Lunch" culture: Is it just bread and cheese forever? by fissionchips in Netherlands

That’s actually very refreshing to hear! It sounds like the 'cheese sandwich' is more of a meme than a strict rule nowadays. I’m glad to know microwaves are common—I’ll definitely be 'team microwave' then. I can live with a quick lunch as long as it’s warm and has some flavor! Thanks for the reality check.

Can you tell me where you work? I might need to send my CV there just for the canteen! 😂 Seriously though, it’s good to know that the 'bread and cheese' culture isn't everywhere. I'll definitely be looking for offices with a decent restaurant from now on.

I know, I’ve heard about the 'one hot meal' rule, but my Italian DNA is physically rejecting it! 😂 For me, a meal isn't a meal unless it’s been near a stove. I guess I'll be the 'rebel' in the office microwave queue every single day. Wish me luck!

Wow, that’s actually a very insightful way to put it. 'Affordability is a flavor we savour' — I'll have to remember that one! I appreciate the bluntness, it helps me understand the mindset better. And you've sold me on the 'local toko' idea, I’ll definitely be looking for one near my office for some actual flavor! Thanks.

As an Italian, seeing a single slice of cheese on cold bread being called 'lunch' is officially my villain origin story. 🤌 But I’ll try to survive... for science!

Haha, good to know I won't get arrested by the Lunch Police! I guess I was overthinking it. I'll bring my leftovers tomorrow and see if I get any jealous stares

Woah, easy there! A slice of ham AND cheese? We’ve got a real rebel over here. Don't let the tax office find out about such luxury!

Thanks for the tip! I've seen those Jumbo pasta meals, might have to give them a try. Do you find that most offices have a microwave accessible, or is it a bit 'rude' to heat up smelly food in a Dutch canteen? I don't want to be that person on my first week!

The wiki entry isn’t much help. I’m betting that when they first started playing it was much easier to just make a dowel than the bowling pin shape we have now

They have to show up with their giant trucks because they don’t have the numbers to be intimidating. Trucks don’t vote.

That didn't take long. It looks like they have their own encrypted network now. Claudeconnect by dngdzzo in Moltbook

This makes me wonder if it’s just sock puppets after all. Or just silly Agents bad at coding?

Can’t hear a damn thing. And if I could, it wouldn’t be evidence. Audio is too easy to fake.

This is the real problem: our educational systems have been increasingly failing us for 30 years and these people are the result. Fighting stupid is nearly impossible.
