So, what, there are going to be twelve Danes in arms instead of 6?
Why is there international reporting about these weird, quaint little quasi-countries? My high school class was bigger than Denmark. Why does a national border catapult you out of the local interest section?
Cringe American comment
This is how they actually think about the world.
When Europeans first arrived in China people refused to believe that all these tiny little European countries existed. Makes no sense for some peninsula smaller than 1/3rd of Shandong to be its own country.
We had Danish exchange student visit once and they literally talked about crossing the border to buy groceries.
The Kingdom of Denmark is the 12th-biggest country in the world.
is that by counting Greenland? lol
Real cope.
European Denmark has a little more than half the population of LA county. I'm not shitting on your culture or anything I think you and all the other nordic countries should re-unify. RETVRN to tradition, invade Norway.
; )
on the contrary, i think we should build a catapult with which to launch denmark over some national borders. be pretty funny to fling denmark into slovakia i think
did denmark drown your cat or something?
No, Danes are phobic about water after the incident where the moose swam over from Norway a few years ago.
I cnut imagine how that would turn out.
Your highschool class was the size of Wisconsin?
I'm not American and know about Idaho because they have potatoes and sketchy apps that cause Mayor Pete to win primary/caucuses, and they're 1/3 the size of Denmark.
It's not like this is a completely town-like country, like Andorra or San Marino. Being the setting of Hamlet and having Lego count for something.
Yeah, I'm just being a shit. We should make Denmark and Wisconsin fight, though. Put them both in a jar and shake it to find out who the true heirs of the Vikings are.
Re: Idaho - Despite having a much smaller population, Idaho has like six times the land area of Denmark. It is very much a "shithead ignorant american" thing, but the scale of many other countries compared to the USA is often so skewed it makes comparisons weird. I've lived in metropolitan areas with populations several times that of Denmark. I've lived in states that are about a quarter of the size of the EU, but with less than 1% of the population. America is a whole ass trip.
Besides Alaska there aren't multiple states that would fit that description tho. Texas is about one-sixth of the size of the EU but has a huge population, Montana's the 4th biggest state (after AK/TX/CA) but around one-twelfth the EU's size
You're probably being hyperbolic or smth this is just me being pedantic lmao I have OCD
Ayo someone namedropped my state
Not really
Lmao this is the same mindset of people from small towns where a movie was once filmed
Lol, you completely destroyed my point.
If anything those small-towns have a better mindset because at least the director actually stepped foot in their towns, Shakespeare didn't go anywhere.
Wisconsin have high quantities of beer and cheese (not necessarily quality), and redlettermedia. Idk how you can really quantify places you've never been to other than by your cultural/food export.
I will go to the small town, I will feign being impressed when the local greasy spoon has a picture of Sylvester Stallone's second cousin eating while shooting a movie there.
