Some of the questions requires participants to parrot state propaganda, such as answering that Greenland ceased to be a colony in 1953.

lmfao

It is deeply unserious.

I always knew denmark was problematic in tons of ways but holy shit this blows, my condolences for living there lol

Another hoop you have to jump through in order to become a citizen is that you have to give the local mayor a handshake (skin-to-skin contact legally required). This is considered so important that it was upheld even at the height of COVID.

The reason for this bizarre rule is that chuds convicted themselves that shaking the hand of a woman was some kind of cryptonite to scary "Islamists". But the mayor is more likely to be a man than a woman, you say. Yes. That is true. It is ridiculous even on its own terms.
