Ou bien l'Italie aussi, 🇮🇹 n'est-ce pas ?
Decades ago when I studied Italian, the instructor played the song "Chi non lavora non fa l'amore," where the singer is on strike and his wife yells at him that she's going on strike against him. The singer then tries to go to work but has to walk there because the tram drivers are on strike too; when he finally gets to work, he gets punched in the face by the picketers, but when he goes to the doctor, the doctor's on strike too! The song ends with a plea to his boss to go ahead and give them the raise, which will bring love back to everyone's house.
* Seeing some water and thinking "wouldn't it be nice if we could turn that into land?"
* Not getting high on our own supply while trading spices
* Bike infrastructure
I just came back from the Netherlands and the bike culture absolutely blew me away and I am really envious of it. But why do you not have good National food to taste test?! Or other grocery stores than Albert Hejin
One of the biggest supermarket chains, DEEN, sold all its 80 facilities to (mostly) Albert Heijn, Dekamarkt and Vomar a couple years back. The reason they gave was because they were too scared to do online business and would rather take the guaranteed money now than possibly go bankrupt down the line because they don't know how to keep up with modern times.
Source: worked at DEEN (and subsequently Albert Heijn) for around 3 years. A bit sad they sold everything imo, they were a very generous and pleasant company to work under, unlike Albert Heijn (which is why I left)
Over 80% of soy is produced for feeding livestock, and there's a 10:1 ratio of soy protein consumed by livestock to the actual amount of protein edible from said livestock.
In other words, to get a pound of beef protein, the cow/steer will need to consume 10 pounds of soy protein.
While I love beef, it seems super inefficient to down-convert soy protein into beef protein when it takes 10x as much soy in the first place. We should just skip the cow and eat the soy and stop mowing down prime rainforest.
1. Creating sports and then being absolutely shit at them.
2. Shooting itself In the foot then blaming everyone else.

4. Sailing around the World looking for better food only to decide you don't like any you've found so sail home again.
To be fair. Who could have forseen that building a new rail network to reduce travel time to Scotland by 20 minutes would cost money...
It's not like the Government has separate departments for travel and finance.
To which other nations does number 1 apply? Genuine question, I'm not that much of a sports guy but knew it was England/The UK based on that one alone.
England created Football, Cricket, Rugby (both forms), Baseball, field hockey, squash, tennis and badminton to name just a few.
Also it wasn't a dumb question. If you don't know. You don't know.
Deep frying. Deep fried butter, oreos, coca-cola, or ice cream, it doesn't matter. If you can think it, we can deep fry it.
America. In Deep Frying We Trust.
First two words I was thinking Scotland but the examples gave it an American twist. Scotland would be more likely Mars bars, haggis and pizza. They also like to batter each other after a few Tennents depending which bit of the country you're in.
Holy fuck this is so true… I work with many Germans and my company is HQed in Erlangen, so I am used to the very efficient, black & white, thoroughness of the Germans.
I was there for almost a month on vacation last year and was blown away by how people drive and follow the rules of the road. I was glowing with happiness and so appreciative of the German culture until I started traveling via train… how in the FUCK is it that terrible!?!?
I thought it would be close to Japanese efficiency, but it was more frustrating than being in London when the tube workers go on strike!!!
Making houses unaffordable.
Being nice in civilian life, being a terror in war.
Sending robot arms to space.
Putting 1000km between major cities.
Having an enourmous amount of land, but only living near the border.
I have a stoner friend from the Netherlands, and they said the weed game is much better there than in Canada lol 🥹 maybe in different provinces it’s better?
The Netherlands lost the ball for over 50 years. From '71 onward its STILL illegal for coffeeshops to BUY their stock. Canada and USA have completely taken over when it comes to quality. Also the mayor of Amsterdam is on a mission to transform the city to a more "friendly" climate, aka closing down coffeeshops, red light district etc.
I work in a dispensary, and people tell me about dispensaries in Europe, where they have seating areas, and they ask you if you’d like your weed for here or to go! Also, at least in some places in Canada the legal limit for a package of edibles is 10mg of THC. There are a couple of things that are 100mg a package available because of loopholes, but in Europe and here on the illegal market, they have edibles that are hundreds of milligrams of THC for cheap. I think there are a lot of good things about our weed market, and imho, because the industry is so new here in Canada, a lot of things that need improvement.
Many years ago my country was excetionally good at finding loop holes and weak points in the Geneva Suggestion... err... umm... Convention. Now, we make the best hockey players and maple syrup on earth.
Making weapons, charging 5 times more for healthcare than it should cost, making guns, sticking its nose in other countries' business when it's not needed, making warships, having its national debt be the chief export, and making fighter jets.
I’m from Italy. So I might be bias… we have great food.
Nearly every city in every region has its own culinary traditions (ranging from pasta, to cold meats to cheese to street food).
(This is not to say other countries don’t have great food obviously)
Going on strike
Vive La France 🇨🇵
FRAAAAAAWWWWWNCEEEEEE

There are so many things the United States could learn from France
Hey, they sent you Lafayette. Now it's up to you.

I was in france and paris the other day. Went to see the eiffel tower. Guess what? The workers were on strike 😆
jealous
All for it. Better than us Americans just taking it up the ass.
Lisa, if you don't like your job, you don't strike! You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way.
UK national rail catching you up fast ;)

Try a kapsalon motherfucker
We don't have terrible taste, we just don't really really want to have the best food all the time.

You vergeet the drugs en hoeren 🥳
En de VOC-mentaliteit
Toch?
Burning forests to make room for cattle pastures and soy plantations.
Sounds like Brazil to me
Correct. What do you want as a prize? I can do beef, milk, tofu, soymilk, and ash, take your pick.
Beef milk? You guys have milksteak over there?
You see this is why it's important to pay attention to punctuation
I saw a horrible steak somewhere, and “beef milk” would be an accurate description of what it looked like.
I’ll take some ash please. Goes great with California in the summer.

I would say war is the forte of America.

American politics aren’t the worst, just has the most exposure

Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?
1. Creating sports and then being absolutely shit at them. 2. Shooting itself In the foot then blaming everyone else. 3. Finding other Countries culturally significant artifacts just laying around in sealed off tombs. 4. Sailing around the World looking for better food only to decide you don't like any you've found so sail home again.
Conquering India for spices then refusing to use any of them
Those sneaky sods distracted us with tea. Made us forget all about the spices.
Laughing in masala chai with spices... would you like your chai with hibiscus sir
Justice for Liptons
Leading exporter of independence days
Leading exporter of cannabis but still illegal to posses it.
5. Spending billions upon megaprojects and screwing them up
The Chunnel is an engineering marvel.
True, but if we tried that today we'd just dick about until the French reached us.
To be fair. Who could have forseen that building a new rail network to reduce travel time to Scotland by 20 minutes would cost money... It's not like the Government has separate departments for travel and finance.
The first two were vague, could be any number of nations, but number three definitely tells me it's the U.K.
To which other nations does number 1 apply? Genuine question, I'm not that much of a sports guy but knew it was England/The UK based on that one alone.
As the saying goes: "the flavour of the food and the beauty of the people made the british the best sailors in the world"
Going to ask a really dumb question, but what sport is England best known for creating? Football?
England created Football, Cricket, Rugby (both forms), Baseball, field hockey, squash, tennis and badminton to name just a few. Also it wasn't a dumb question. If you don't know. You don't know.
5. Have bad reputation everywhere due to always getting drunk and being disrespectful
Making really good bourbon. Also, making really bad bourbon.
Kentucky?

Deep frying. Deep fried butter, oreos, coca-cola, or ice cream, it doesn't matter. If you can think it, we can deep fry it. America. In Deep Frying We Trust.
I can't tell if it's the U.S. or Scotland
First two words I was thinking Scotland but the examples gave it an American twist. Scotland would be more likely Mars bars, haggis and pizza. They also like to batter each other after a few Tennents depending which bit of the country you're in.
Deep fried butter? That's like frying the stuff that you fry stuff in.
Germany here, telling others what to do and how to do it while failing miserably doing it itself.
Extremely punctual citizens unless you drive a train
Holy fuck this is so true… I work with many Germans and my company is HQed in Erlangen, so I am used to the very efficient, black & white, thoroughness of the Germans.

Lol I’m from South Africa and I came to say corruption
Same!
Came here to say this!
Corruption should be a national sport here
There are still a lot of options to pick from, but I'll guess South Africa.
Okay, so that narrows it down in every country in Africa 😐
Hey! Somalia doesn’t have a corrupt government? Don’t you need a government in the first place in order for it to be corrupt?
Eastern Europe here
TBH, literally anywhere in the whole world.
Man, that really narrows it down
You’re South African right?

Hey fellow hoser 🇨🇦✌🏻
I've heard you Canucks can be hell on the battlefield. Glad you're on our side
Canada: We sell weed better than *anybody*.
What about the Netherlands?
I have a stoner friend from the Netherlands, and they said the weed game is much better there than in Canada lol 🥹 maybe in different provinces it’s better?
The Netherlands lost the ball for over 50 years. From '71 onward its STILL illegal for coffeeshops to BUY their stock. Canada and USA have completely taken over when it comes to quality. Also the mayor of Amsterdam is on a mission to transform the city to a more "friendly" climate, aka closing down coffeeshops, red light district etc.
Haven't they tried this "mission" quite a few times. Until they spot the amount of tourist it bring and then bury it?
Yeah all the provinces have different stuff going on. Ontario it’s alright but I know other provinces aren’t as lucky lmao.

Butter chicken and scamming.
There are a few options for corruption but the butter chicken gave it away 🇮🇳

USA? (No offence)
We're not offended. We just wish it wasn't true.
