Fleppensteyn

English speakers always seem to like mierenneuken: nitpicking, or literally, ant-fucking.

Or maybe fokker, meaning breeder (and a famous last name; and speaking of names, we have first names such as Fokko and Fokje).

That sounds too demanding

Chairs and tables. Why do I have to squeeze my thighs between the chair and the dinner table and then bend down awkwardly when I eat to not splatter all over? Why are chairs so high and tables so low? Just put the table higher so the food is closer to my mouth and why do we even need chairs anyway?

Milk cartons suck now. In the 90s, we could fold and push to open. Why do we need scissors to open them now? Oh and half of them now have a plastic lid in the middle so you can’t even pour out the last drops anymore.

I agree. It’s a loan word from Dutch and after 200 years, it’s about time you give it back.

Speaking of dandruff, it took me way too long to find out I don’t really have dandruff, just a dry scalp. That’s why the “dandruff”, like all my other health issues, just disappear in warmer climates.

I disagree. The alternative to news is no news. If you don’t have anything interesting to share, just don’t post it.

If you want to share news articles, just use a link to the internet archive, if available, or copy-paste the text if it’s behind a paywall.

Information should be open to all on a platform like Lemmy imo. If you’re willing to pay for news, you won’t need this platform for that.

Please ban paywalls.

I don’t know but imagine what crazy processes would lead to creating that magic man floating around in nothingness, without a world to evolve on.

Alles goed :) ja, ik kom uit Nederland

It’s funny I understand all that when written but couldn’t understand a word when Scandinavians speak

Where are you from, is this a joke or something? We have white eggs in Europe and Asia
