What did New Zealanders do to OP?

[–] Caitlyynn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 113 points 8 months ago (2 children)

They took old zeeland from me

Old zeeland is still where it used to be. (I would make a joke about Germans here, but can't think of anything clever right now)

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 15 points 8 months ago

Hahaha Germans having no humor. So funny.

Why germans? Zeeland is in the Netherlands.

[–] zout@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

Because Zeeland gets taken over by Germans in the summer, and OP seems to be German.

[–] Geobloke@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

You mean swamp Germans?

[–] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Technically they took Aotearoa in the name of Zeeland.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one wondering. I thought I had missed something in the news.

I'm sad to say that it took me a minute to recognize the actual meaning.
