All I can see in the mine is the head of a gopher screening before being hit.

Is that a new format I see? Can I invest in this?

In the photo right after this you get to see the giant gold coin that pops out of it.

The Dutch and the French both have many Belgian jokes (all along the lines that Belgians are dumb), but the funny thing is that many of the jokes actually originate from Belgium itself. They are jokes by the Flemish and Walloons making fun of each other that are then generalized to Belgians as a whole by the Dutch and French.

We still hold a bit of a grudge against them for having let the Germans pass without saying anything during WWII and also because they claim to have invented fries. We tease them but we still like them.

I bet it's the French taking the piss out of the Belgians again.

Hey now, we Dutchies love taking the piss out of Belgians just as much :)

Be the meme-starter you wish to see in the Fediverse!

Actually kinda needed that punch in the arm. Thanks, bud, though I doubt my content will be nearly as dank as some of your Roman contributions. I shall try!

This is like when we Danes tell jokes about Swedes and Norwegians, I assume.

Like this: How many Norwegians to change a light bulb in the ceiling?

AnswerThree; one to hold the lightbulb and two to carry them while going in circles.

Or the Bavarians tell about Austrians.

Lightbulb jokes are universal, only the target changes. The Bavarians have some long-form jokes ("Two Austrians go on vacation to the Sahara...") that I'd never heard before going to Germany.

As a Virginian, we tell West Virginian and Kentuckian jokes. How many west virginians to change a lightbulb?

!Whole family, one to hold the bulb, the rest to turn the shack!<

How many Kentuckian does it does tocl change a lightbulb?

! I'm not sure, you'd have to convince them it isn't magic first!<

FYI, spoilers don't work like Reddit (or at least not on my web client.) Try doing it the way Limfjorden did:

AnswerThree; one to hold the lightbulb and two to carry them while going in circles.

The ones using colons don't work on my client, but the built in ones using the > and ! do. I'm on eternity

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Strange. I think colons are the official way (as I'm just on default web lemm.ee,) so that might be something to contact your client's devs with.

Raised in Maryland, same kinds of jokes we tell about West Virginia, lmao.

A West Virginian boy got mad at a Marylander, so he threw a stick of dynamite at the Maryland boy. The Marylander picked it up, lit it, and threw it back.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Ha! Nice! Take that, Wear Virginia! Lmao

We had others, but most of them revolve around how, ahem, close their families are. Lol

How many Germans does it take to change a light bulb?

1

SpoilerI know it's not funny, but it is efficient.

This is exactly the same with the Dutch and the Belgians.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Belgian: "One loaf of bread please".

Baker: "White or brown bread?"

Belgian: "Doesn't matter, it's for a blind person".
