My wife is Dutch. Today there have been many Dutch memes I have shown her.

She is pleased.

Yeah, gotta ask, what's with all the dutch memes today? Not complaining, just asking if its the new beans thing right now.

The Dutch has so much potential to adapt and adopt spices and have a rich culture of different traditional dishes. but no.. stamppot is enough.

"Then the Dutch revolt, and all the hipsters moved to Amsterdam."

"Damn." said Amsterdam. "We gotta start pillaging some stuff".

Why are all flags 3 stripes?

[–] Jables 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That's the old Dutch flag, orange white blue. It's now red white blue. Or do you mean flags in general? Then the Ugandan flag would like to have a word.

Oh interesting, I didn't know that about the Dutch flag. But yes, I'm curious about why it's true for most flags in general...

And yes, the Central African Republic flag would definitely beg to differ as well

Did you all get a history lesson about the Dutch today? Yes, my ancestors did host a very successful hub for all kinds of quite horrible acts, mostly because they noticed other countries did them worse business wise. Shame on all your ancestors too!
