I consider the Portuguese as quiet.

And why are large parts of Germany and Czechia not beer?

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because this is all complete bullshit.

[–] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because it's a joke and isn't supposed to be scientifically accurate?

[–] jennergruhle@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

At least these few things that are not just "North vs. South" could be a bit more accurate.

[–] theonyltruemupf@feddit.de 9 points 11 months ago

It's not perfectly accurate but the south-west of Germany, especially along the rivers of Rhine and Moselle, is wine country.

Finland also should be beer Europe.

I've seen other maps where the beer, wine, and vodka regions all overlap onto Czechia. While I'd say it's mostly beer here, there's definitely a good amount of wine too. Moravia is a big wine growing region.

I have never seen anything more accurate than tomato and potato Europe

Regarding 12 and 17: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_annual_labor_hours#OECD_list

The problem with Southern Europe is not lazy people, it's unqualified bosses.

Ireland is definitely in the cultural Catholic side for part 10. I know it doesn't make good linrz, but Poland was ekee out in the religious version.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ireland is a lot less Catholic than it was a few decades ago, and decreasing. They legalised same-sex marriage and abortion some years ago, and the church is making noises about stepping back from its position of social authority while it can still look like it’s doing so voluntarily.

Poland is probably a decade or two behind Ireland. The standing of the church is in freefall there (albeit falling from a high mark), largely due to the church having tied itself to ultraconservative politics.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, I understand that. Ireland is still more catholic than Protestant. My point about Poland is that clean straight lines don’t seem to be important, it about which is religious.

There are different things being measured between the 2 maps I referenced.

[–] dEVbiKub@feddit.nu 4 points 11 months ago

The lines in map 4, 5, 9, 12, 13, 17 and 19 are approximately the same. Which means: Potato = bad cuisine, eaten while walking, people who live here in the northern half are hard working, emotionally repressed, only live 21 days per year, and it's cloudy. Tomato = good cuisine, eaten sitting, people who live here in the southern half are lazy, sexually repressed, only work 21 days per year, and it's sunny.

hey im from estonia and not homophobic

Fag hags huh

Nothing more accurate than the first map. Although there isn't much difference between constant melancholy and depression.
