There recently was an article that discussed about what the Dutch could do. It came down to 3 suggestions:

  1. Building a dyke across the Waddeneilanden (killing off the entire waddensea but also protecting the rest of the land)
  2. Raising up the existing dykes and sacrificing cities and villages that are nearby the sea since the dikes really need to become much bigger.
  3. Giving up whole parts of the Netherlands, building floating cities and relying on higher parts of the country to expand and rebuild there.

What it is going to become, I don’t know but it will be really interesting!

Cue the Dutch that live 50m NAP. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like you are a part of the same country.. 🥲

It is a big waste! Unless your cheese melts very easily, there is no reason to have that amount of plastic.

It looks more like he is addicted to the snacks. Might lay low on them for a while :)

Can someone please explain like I am 5 why we even had a veto system? I have read somewhere that it is mainly for in the beginning to protect the core values of the union.

The thing is, with a car you quickly can get to 2000 kilo’s. Even an electric car weighs as much as this!

Good! Maybe in the future when we fixed the problem of having big things going vroom polluting our planet we can try having them back but at the moment, let’s just not do it.

Jup! It’s quite normal here to have a bike that is so ugly, it is not even worth the effort to get stolen. 😅

To be fair, it was a not-so-serious—tongue-in-cheek-poke since some cat owners claim that their cat is evil but of course we know better! :)

 

Hi! European and new user here! I just read the origin story of Lemmy and there was a mentioning op “Pro US” and to be really honest I didn’t understand.

Instead of doing a google i thought it might be interesting to see what you think he would mean by that! :)
