Normally, I would complain about someone posting a Daily Mail link, but this is fucking hilarious.
Not The Onion
Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!
As a Californian I'm in
Also Californian, all in.
Could force us all to speak Danish and I'd still be down
No need for that, as I understand it most Danes are able to carry a conversation in English. But you might need to ditch 12h clocks and switch to SI units of measurement.
Og min økse!
Same
In these dark times it's great to see the Danes responding to unpleasant orange chauvinism and bigotry with dry humour. It kind of deflates the mafia boss's self importance.
I'm watching series 7 of a Danish TV programme called Badehotellet at the moment and it struck me that the Danish sense of humour it portrays is very much like the British, full of irony and self-deprecation. If they could buy the UK as well I'd be extremely happy.
California already has Solvang, so there should be minimal culture shock
Trump'd probably jump at the chance to get rid of California. Should have gone for Florida or Texas.
Of course... then you'd have Florida or Texas. Euch.
Does that mean we could stop supporting the red states of the US on our backs? We already have and love Legoland, might as wella add Hamlet.
does everyone who happens to be there when the exchange happens.....get danish citizenship?
Asking for a friend.
No but you get 33% off of your next danish.
I'd settle for some free Lego sets.
I like the way you think, yes.
Fun fact Denmark doesn't have birthright citizenship. Trump could score a win in that regard by giving it to Denmark.
Big win, huge win, he should do it.
If so ill need to buy a camper an real quick...
Fuck you guys, Canada has dibs.
Oh please, we've been over this. You guys get to burn the white house, we bring kindling and a drum of gasoline. In return we get to kick comrade orangutan in the nads first and roast schmores on the house fire. As for the rest we split it with no dibs.

Quite funny statical thread. Here's the same link but from Lemmy(dot)World instance :

Canada/Cascadia, Cancadia
Please take us.
I’ll pay Denmark to buy us…
Is there a go fund me page I can chip into. I'm not even Danish but support this message.
Isn't California's GDP about ten times that of Denmark?
I guess that purchase would be quite a bargain.
I think it would technically be a reverse takeover
No offense to the Danes, but I'd like to see what the Nederlanders are offering before we make a decision
Good choice.
-- an Italian who lives in Denmark but lived in the Netherlands and knows the difference
Freedom is priceless
New England wants in on this
I second this! Do I hear a third?
The Massholes accept!
My homies!
Great story, but I feel I should mention that the Daily Heil does not qualify as news, due to the sheer volume of disinformation it publishes.
There's no mention of it in news in Denmark.
All the tabloids are pointing to this page as "source": https://denmarkification.com/
It's obviously a satirical site. My guess is that it's made by an American.
Lego Land from San Diego all the way to Jupiter. 😃
Can they buy Minnesota too? Or can Canada annex us? Anyone? Please?
Also Broward County, FL, specifically, would loooove to be an exclave. Huh? Huh? Could be pretty sweet!
Well if we’re doing that now: anyone interested in adopting Massachusetts?
Buy Maryland instead! We're closer!
Wait, no, he might take that deal and doom the rest of us to his bullshit for generations.
Get into Cali before they do it!
