OK, so Turkey is fascist and Portugal has a needle as its most used emoji?? And what does the polish beaver stand for?

Is there a source for this data?

Britain’s just talking about water conditions at the local beach

IIRC in Norway they have "Taco Friday"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Yeah, we got sections of our grocery stores dedicated to them. Why, you ask? It is part of our national cultural heritage since we apropriated it from Mexico, of course.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Same in Sweden.

I think the main reason is because a Swedish spice company spread the idea many years ago.

Give us a Guinness pint emoji ffs

Nobody using that is off to drink German-style Steiners

Russia is not part of Europe.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (3 children)

It is. Europe is commonly defined all the way to the Ural mountains, which are located somewhere in the middle of Russia. Most of russian population lives in Europe.

Culturally I'd also put that part of Russia closer to the Slavic countries than to any fully Asian country.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

But why would the other countries, like Switzerland would be excluded then?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

No data available, most likely.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

It's made by some dude on instagram. He probably just didn't find the proper data for some countries.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And 'continents' are just arbitrary conventions. Where they begin/end can't be settled by anything objective. There are several models for delineating them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Interesting!

I was thought the five continent model as a child concerning the geographic continents (but Australia was called Oceania) and the seven continent model in society class (Samhällsorientering)

Why is Russia shaped so weird?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

They wanted to use the geographical definition of Europe, so they cut off everything beyond the Ural mountains and Caspian sea.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

seems like a strange definition of europe?

The one thing that comes to mind for wolves and Turkey is the Grey Wolves, I wonder if it's related

Portugal (and Switzerland, I think?) had a heroin problem in the 2000s. They decriminalized it and it was a major success.
