Looks like it got removed by a mod. Which is interesting, because the commenter was also a mod.

Oh I’d never call myself a conservative, and most conservative parties here are right-wing as well.

Edit: I should probably start by saying that this is somewhat off-topic.

In the Netherlands we tend to rank our parties along left-right and progressive-conservative axes separately. Conservative-left gets you Christians who care about the poor. In other countries there’s also the “I want the government to support our workers”, “I want to go back to Soviet times” and “I’m leftist but LGBTQ is wrong” types.

The English disease of putting spaces in a compound word might be worse… it’s not even consistent. It’ll be a new example of “Dutch grammar is 50% special cases.”

Honestly no, never, and that feels more like a problem of not having proper cycling paths. Nobody wants to cycle on the sidewalk.

The way I see it, shawarma comes in strips and kebab in flakes

Oh die peiling ziet er eigenlijk veel beter uit dan ik dacht, ik was bang dat de PVV er nog meer stemmers bij zou hebben gepakt

Aw. We’re pretty used to hanging out in English-speaking spaces so there’s probably more Dutch folk hiding around. I do know the head admin of lemmy.world is Dutch, as well as one of the main devs of mbin.

Where are you finding all these Dutch posts? This is the only vaguely active Dutch sub I know of

At least here in the Netherlands, there was a lot of commotion because a data centre tried to buy a windmill park meant to power households as their dedicated power source

Het helpt dat dit EU-breed is, dus alleen uit Nederland vertrekken zou niet genoeg zijn, maar het is nog steeds lastig

Compleet mee eens natuurlijk, al doet men soms wel alsof.

Grappig hoe Baudet ooit begon als het ‘redelijke’ alternatief op Wilders en het inmiddels omgedraaid is

Maybe they’re Dutch, there it’s only done for words that end in a vowel. Probably not though.

In Dutch we only talk about turning screws clockwise and counterclockwise

I don’t know about Germany, but in the Netherlands people also kept giving that “no farmers no food” argument even though we produce much more than we actually eat. Most of our food is for export.

Also a thing in the Netherlands!

He has a bunch of English ones on his website as well. Some of them are just the dumbest, least translatable puns though (in a good way).

Sometimes you just have to feed the canal, you know?

Chips? Fries are patat or friet here, depending on whether you’re a heretic.
