It looks like I have to choose between good sex or good food. I think I'll take the food, please.
Right on.
I eat three meals a day.
If I fucked that much I'd hurt myself and die.
It'd be a glorious death though.
Death by snusnu!
I was expecting this comment
We all have to do our part
You guys are having sex AND food?? 🤯
I consider the Portuguese as quiet.
And why are large parts of Germany and Czechia not beer?
Because this is all complete bullshit.
Because it's a joke and isn't supposed to be scientifically accurate?
A joke has to be somewhat accurate to land or to be funny. Otherwise it's not a joke, it's just "stuff".
There might be a cultural difference what quality standards are expected from a joke here.
I demand scientifically accurate jokes! >:(
It's not perfectly accurate but the south-west of Germany, especially along the rivers of Rhine and Moselle, is wine country.
Finland also should be beer Europe.
*Nordics
I've seen other maps where the beer, wine, and vodka regions all overlap onto Czechia. While I'd say it's mostly beer here, there's definitely a good amount of wine too. Moravia is a big wine growing region.
Italy and most of France are sexually repressed? Aren't they kinda the most famous countries for the opposite?
They hold themselves back. If they didn't... 🫣😳🥵
They are famous for being very sexually forward and aggressive, but not about accepting "sexual deviants" or whatever they call gay people, bdsm positive people, etc... lol
I have never seen anything more accurate than tomato and potato Europe
I don't get the 21 days per year thing.
I think it means that they do that thing ONLY 21 days per year and the rest of the days the other thing.
So 21 days working and the rest of the days living
Vs.
21 days living and the rest of the days working
As a common stereotype in Europe, we see the southern countries as...not so hard working.
Regarding 12 and 17: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_annual_labor_hours#OECD_list
The problem with Southern Europe is not lazy people, it's unqualified bosses.
Since when is southern Europe sexually repressed? Also, this stupid af.
It doesn't say it is. It is called "Maps of Prejudice" after all.
Ireland is definitely in the cultural Catholic side for part 10. I know it doesn't make good linrz, but Poland was ekee out in the religious version.
Ireland is a lot less Catholic than it was a few decades ago, and decreasing. They legalised same-sex marriage and abortion some years ago, and the church is making noises about stepping back from its position of social authority while it can still look like it’s doing so voluntarily.
Poland is probably a decade or two behind Ireland. The standing of the church is in freefall there (albeit falling from a high mark), largely due to the church having tied itself to ultraconservative politics.
Yes, I understand that. Ireland is still more catholic than Protestant. My point about Poland is that clean straight lines don’t seem to be important, it about which is religious.
There are different things being measured between the 2 maps I referenced.
I take issue with 06. Denmark is 100% beer country. This chart seems to forget Carlsberg and Tuborg exist. The instant Friday hits water get replaced with beer.
France religious? Try again.
Most of these are fairly accurate though. 8/10.
I doubt Portugal or Spain being part of rich Europe, we are part of the acronym PIGS 🐷
Fag hags huh
The lines in map 4, 5, 9, 12, 13, 17 and 19 are approximately the same. Which means: Potato = bad cuisine, eaten while walking, people who live here in the northern half are hard working, emotionally repressed, only live 21 days per year, and it's cloudy. Tomato = good cuisine, eaten sitting, people who live here in the southern half are lazy, sexually repressed, only work 21 days per year, and it's sunny.
I'm pretty sure the poor vs rich is very wrong. And catholic correlates to homophobic which is also wrong.
Olive oil, coffee and tomato at least checks out.
catholic correlates to homophobic which is also wrong
uhhhh what
Overly religious countries tend to ban same sex marriage. Religious very often correlates to homophobia.
lol no shit, I'm a gay guy living in an overly religious country. which is why I'm confused about how the other person says that that correlation is "wrong".
The southern countries are marked as not homophobic but marked as catholic.
I guess Ireland should be moved closer to France or Iberia for 2, 3, 10 and 20.
Also how are Greece and Rome in New Europe?
hey im from estonia and not homophobic
Living in the UK, I wish we were more quiet. I would've put us in the deafening category just for the football fans (/hooligans) alone
Nothing more accurate than the first map. Although there isn't much difference between constant melancholy and depression.
In what world could Ireland be considered predominantly Protestant.
Traditionally, Catholics outnumber Protestants by a significant margin.
Nowadays, people are becoming more atheist if anything.
