EU citizenship with no hassle?

Hell yes!

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 56 points 1 week ago

Yes, sign me up. I'm ready. Right now. Seriously. Do they want money?

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 42 points 1 week ago

This would be the biggest mass migration to California since the last one.

[-] darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago

No hassle? I think you severely underestimate the effort required to learn Danish.

Can they buy oregon and Washington too?

[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

As a Cali expat in Washington I approve of this.

[-] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

I'm sure we could work out a buy 2 get 1 free deal

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Don't forget Colorado, we have lots of drugs!

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

As a Coloradoan, I approve of being sold to Denmark.

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

I support this sale.

[-] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I volunteer Minnesota as well.

[-] Limonene@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Wisconsinite here. I'm hoping the great lakes area is occupied by Canada after we lose WW3.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

And North Carolina. Trump can keep South.

Don't threaten me with a good time

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 week ago

Yes! California native here. We accept.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 10 points 1 week ago

$1 is a pretty good deal.

They should have charged, honestly.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

California accepts denmark's bid. Please.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

Honestly Washington State is the one I'd buy, but given the weird conservative obsession with beating up on California you can probably get a better deal.

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 week ago

Lets go Danes!

[-] tunetardis@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 week ago

Darn, I was kind of hoping for a viking raid of Mar-a-Lago followed by some pillaging up and down the gulf coast. Get some pirates back in the Caribbean and rename the Gulf to something even more obnoxious.

[-] BillTongg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Well, the vikings reached the east coast of what is now Canada in around the year 1,000, but they were Norwegians, not Danes. They never got any further than New Brunswick, but who knows, if they visited Florida perhaps they would have stayed...

[-] mPony@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

They never got any further than New Brunswick

New Brunswick can do that to ya. You have to be ready for it.

[-] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 week ago

I, for one, welcome our new Viking overlords."

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

still ain't gonna win a super bowl.

[-] A_cook_not_a_chef@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Why do you hurt me like this?

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 1 week ago

Yes please. If you could finalize the deal before April 15 that would be very helpful.

Ok so the Danes get the west, Canada gets the north, Mexico gets as much of the south as they want, and the rest can be The United States Of Trump until it gets destroyed

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 16 points 1 week ago

Can you give some back to the First Nations people?

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

Sorry, we're still only breaking treaties.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I wish. Unfortunately none of the governments staking claims give a shit about them.

I hope they change the name to Hyggewood

This just in population of California grows by approx. 277 million people.

[-] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

What’s hygge

Edit: that warm cozy feeling

[-] gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com 10 points 1 week ago

Can I offer you some hygge in these trying times?

[-] littlewonder@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I like how this underscores what a joke they think Trump is.

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 week ago

Maybe France would be interested to buy back Louisiana as well.

This is the "Louisiana" they sold: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Louisiana_Purchase.png/1600px-Louisiana_Purchase.png

Please! Please do it!

[-] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Please let this happen.

I wanna carve out Philly and submit myself to whichever EU nation is willing to take us. We voted against the fascist by double digit margin, and in the last mayoral democratic primary, a pluality of us voted for the progressive candidates (but the votes split on two of the progressive democrats so they both lost, thanks FPTP).

The pitch is a bitter response to President Trump's plan to purchase Greenland, which Denmark currently owns.

Jesus titty fucking christ how obliviously ignorant do you have to be to not realize the satirical nature-...

Oh, nvm when will the boomers fucking die already

He’ll probably jump at the opportunity.
