What is a creepy or weird fact that would scare even the bravest person? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Can we just aim it at Belgium and all have a jolly good laugh?

Belgium is 50 years in the past. Won't work that well.

Source: Dutchman.

Also, these days that is a compliment.

Well, I guess it is racist Wednesday for some of the planet currently, even if not my timezone ....but why them?

Are you simply dying to be offended on someone else's behalf darling? Sweety?

Pour yourself a large G&T, poppet, there's a dear

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll never turn down G&T, but more importantly, what did Belgium ever do to you? I'm just curious...

If you've got a spinning wheel of 'who's gonna get it today' and Belgium came up, that's fine, too

It's an intercultural joke from where I'm from.

I'm sorry that you're so bo-o-o-ring that you can neither appreciate nor spontaneously produce humour, and that you have to resort to pretending to be morally superior to try to get attention for yourself by randomly calling people racists like some sort of yank

Making jokes on Brussels is popular with anti-EU factions, just FYI. Not exclusively so, of course, but its their main goto.

Like seeing someone wearing an England flag as a cape, football game or no game, its just best to keep clear of that person

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

No, not at all - I think it's hilarious! You've completely misread me

I was just curious as to why them (obviously we've got to pick on someone)
