Best tip I can give you: When you pay for something, throw random amount of money. If they look angry, throw more money. There's no way 1/2

Christiana is a boy if I am correct though

My great-grandmother was a Dane. My aunt has her recipe. I want to try it in Denmark. She cried when my parents married. Mom is German.

As a Finn, I've never tasted mämmi, but I'm pretty sure it's poo.

I'ts just gooey sugar. With milk or cream on the side. That's all it tastes like.
SirCheckmatesalot
häpeä.
MissT
En :P
graehall
mämmi is nice - the rest of our cooking is so good it's obvious they had to pick a low hanging fruit to criticise :)
MissT
It's not that good. For example, hernekeitto, is disgusting.
ThatIsAbsolutelyFantastic
It's no poo, even though it tastes funny when you try it first time. Very good with sugar and cream
MissT
Still not going to eat it
kishinlemming
Mämmi is one of the few things I miss from my home country. :(
MissT
Aaaw, where do you live now?

MissT
Cool. Was in Florida 2 years ago. Want to visit again.

How on earth do you skip mämmi in here??? Even schools have it at easter.

Just don't eat it
irna
Everything has to be tasted at least once. Unless youre allergic, then not even once.
MissT
I just really don't want to vomit
HardRockHallelujah
That was not an option for me, they made me eat it. The same way they forced salmiakki on me...

Got me drunk, put it on a spoon, and said "here, try this it's delicious!". Then showed me where it came from after I had swallowed it xD

I like these better than polandball
CableAHVB
Eh, it's a lot more liberal
marcus501
They do share similarities. Like Finland being a knife wielding maniac.
AKUUUUUUUUUUUU
Because these are made by one person, and have a constant quality. Polandball is crowdsourced, so the quality varies. But yeah, me too.
ToastyMozart
It's a bit more coherent thanks to the dialogue, and based more generally than the (often obscure) current events of Polandball.
LaBotte
I do to.
JazzBunny
Poland ball is more accurate though :--\

Does anyone outside Scandinavia get all these references?

spacemountain
Yes. - American.
MikeofLA
So... just curious. Was it ever explained why the USA doesn't have arms?
AdmJota
I think all the characters' arms just appear and disappear as needed. Note that America does have arms when he's double-fisting those beers.
GasBandit
It's on all of them. Unless the artist wants a character to be doing something with arms, they don't get drawn. look at the end of #1 4 arms
GasBandit
And the beginning of #2 for nobody having arms.
PsychopompGecko
Ridiculous. The U.S. clearly has arms. Just ask Iraq, Afghanistan, and Newtown, CT.
ohthechestpain
Why does Sweden look like the biggest geek ever.
ARegularPapaya
Well we *did* create Minecraft after all
IHeartTrains
Which was banned in Turkey for being too violent, goes to show just how 'pacifist' sweden really is

1) because the characters are based on stereotypes, sister sweden is a big boobed slut, while sister new zeland is a sheep

I know we're seen as blonde and big-boobed ye, but never heard the bloned, four-eyed geek before.

probably because you are a woman, check your privileges ..or dont i dont realy give a damn about that shit

As someone with no knowledge of geography whatsoever, can you actually just walk across? Or is that a joke

It is absolutely possible, the sea just have to freeze. I'm not sure of the distance, but you can clearly see Skåne (sweden) from Copenhagen

Bottom line: EU would like Norway to join because of their wealth, Norway doesn't want to join because they do good with their wealth.

Norway refuses to join the EU.

That wasn't his point. Read his comment again.
CONFESSlONBEAR
The point is, it has nothing to do with his nationality. I'm sure there are many non-Americans who don't know Norway isn't part of the EU.
itsminttime
I don't expect non-Americans to understand American politics, I'm sorry for not knowing foreign politics. Thought the same rules applied
itsminttime
I know the basics of the EU, most of the countries involved, but that's because I find the EU interesting. I didn't get the joke either so..

So by that logic, you should understand why the Nebraska legislator is currently trying to sue Colorado without googling it.
itsminttime
I hope for people to be reasonably informed, but some things (like foreign politics) are just not to be expected of the average person
JohnBlevins
As an American, European politics are irrelevant to us. We have no reason to pay attention to them. It's the same reason we don't all speak
JohnBlevins
multiple languages. There's simply no need for it here.
CONFESSlONBEAR
There's no need to be well-informed about the world, but my life would be much intellectually poorer if I weren't.
CONFESSlONBEAR
Just because something doesn't directly affect you doesn't mean you should be ignorant about it. 1/2
JohnBlevins
So I should try to learn everything? The brain can only retain so much knowledge. I'd rather learn more about local politics than European
JohnBlevins
politics.
CONFESSlONBEAR
Just because you don't "need" to know something doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to know it. 2/2
