religious pshychopath lady I know that thinks earth is 3000 years old
Heresy! Everyone knows the earth (and the universe) was created in 40004 bc

Calling this “just some looney” is very unfair.
This is a massively more impressive thing just “just some”, its high level looney!

Well, there’s a whole bunch of moronic conservatives in the world…

That graph is hilarious. If euros looked like that, nobody would be using them.

Universal currencys not run by local governments could help prevent such

This might be complex, but bear with me.
If someone steals 100 euros from Alex, and someone steals 2 euros from Bob, both are victims, even though Alex lost much more.
And it just so happens that the solution for both is exactly the same.

Both of your examples fared incredibly poorly under external pressure and collapsed. Which is pretty much what happens with every poorly aligned group of people.

Oh, Dutch people use unsalted, and often the cheapest butter on their bread. And the majority use margerine
- Comment on Anon teaches you about their culture 4 weeks ago:
I had a Dutch roommate once who routinely ate sprinkles on toast for breakfast — she called it traditional.
It is! Hagelslag on bread is very much a Dutch traditional food.
Bread, apply butter, pour chocolate sprinkles on. Eat.

But dulce de leche is brown… Both of these are white.
- Comment on Anon teaches you about their culture 4 weeks ago:
Oh no, we imported lots of food. And we kept it nearly separate, never to mix it with our own.
We imported Indonesian food, mixed it with Cantonese food and called it “Chinese food”, or the “Chinese Indian Speciality Restaurant” nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinees-Indisch_restaurant
- Comment on Anon teaches you about their culture 4 weeks ago:
Bitterballen, poffertjes, awesome cheeses of all sorts, rookworst, stroopwafels, (…) pannekoek.
We’re great at snacks, that’s absolutely true.
But we share speculaas with Belgium and Germany, and spekkoek is Indonesian. Advocaat is… Probably an acquired taste, I’ve never seen anyone under 60 drink it
- Comment on Anon teaches you about their culture 4 weeks ago:
I’m Dutch/British, and I can honestly say the Dutch don’t (historically) like tasty food. Maybe it’s the Calvinism, maybe were culturally broken. Maybe both.
Behold the Dutch breakfast
Now behold the Dutch lunch
No, that’s not a joke or a mistake. That’s real.
Typical Dutch food is Stamppot. Which is boiled potatoes (poorly) crushed with 1 or 2 boiled vegetables in it. There are a dozen versions of it and people will argue which beacon of sadness is better.
Another typical Dutch food: pea soup so thick you can eat it with a fork. It has peas, bacon, potato and sadness. Recently people added stuff to make it tasty, but historically it’s just peas and potato.
As a little break from food talk, here’s a famous Dutch painter making a famous Dutch painting: People eating potatoes
A typical classic Dutch desert is Hangop, which is yoghurt you hang (hence the name) in a cheesecloth to let the water soak out to make it more dense. That’s it. Plain yoghurt. Maybe add some honey for this amazing Dutch “treat”.
Now, we have amazing cheeses today, but historically Dutch cheese was pretty shit. Most of the land isn’t suited for cattle, so the milk had very little flavour. The Dutch invented adding herbs and spices into cheese. While french cheese might have a vague hint of cumin due to the ripening process in an ancient cave system, the Dutch would just chuck cumin into cheese.
We hate food, and it’s a genetic problem we still haven’t managed to break.

I honestly enjoy mushy peas. Not from a box, but fresh made.

I can do (some of) the maths, but I definitely can’t explain why any of it is like that, or how it works.
- Comment on No fear! 4 weeks ago:
I have had a concussion as an 11 year old, and have absolutely zero memory of what happened or how. It probably involved my bike, since that was outside when I somehow stumbled back home (which I also don’t remember).
My brain goes from two or three days pre-concussion, to having the absolute worst time with my parents waking me every hour at night for no clear reason and my arm being broken.
It was not a fun time, and a helmet would have probably prevented that. There’s no permanent damage, i think, but that was extremely lucky.
- Comment on Also no singing preachers 🥀 4 weeks ago:
The protestant church as an institution isn’t exactly destitute either. It’s just not in gold.
- Comment on Also no singing preachers 🥀 4 weeks ago:
Protestants when they walk into a Catholic church and remember the first two commandments (or just the first, depending on who/when/where). Or the sermon on the mount. Or the part where Jesus says to sell your possessiona. Or the parable of the poor widow. And probably a dozen other places that I can’t recall off the top of my head.
They didn’t randomly decide they didn’t like gold, they do have a few reasons for it.

Also make brain go quiet after a day of thinking for a living, make back not hurt, make sports more fun and make moving around easier. Also makes partners very happy, though ymmv on that last one.
And if none of those, burn more calories, so you can eat more tasty things.

Still, it sounds more like the grandpa was buying the PS1 for his 8 year old son in 1995.
Sure, like how my parents bought “me” a computer when I was 4. Before windows 3.11 was a thing.
