@Pat Heh heh, good joke. :P

Welcome to the insanity that's the Fediverse!

@sean Well, better hope there's space left in the hospital with the current event going on. :P

@mur2501 At least we're not weed in this map. I even see a lone tulip on the edge!

@finity I can definitely see the similarities when those frat students are mooning!

@metapsyche Heh, would that still taste good?

@freemo For real? Wooden clogs? Or secretly crocs?

And then those westerners call /us/ farmers, jeez. (I live in the north)

@mur2501 @LoStz

@freemo Where the hell do we wear wooden clogs when gardening? 😋 Can't disagree with the rest though. :P

@mur2501 @LoStz

@mur2501 Yes, but.. we have more stereotypes! Windmills, clogs, tulips! Heck, even eating raw herring! Man, I'm hungry now. :P

@freemo @LoStz

@freemo I don't smoke at all, and I have 4 bikes in my possession... ;)

@mur2501 @LoStz

@mur2501 We're still weed, really? :P Man.. what about windmills, clogs, and tulips? We have more stereotypes y'know!

@mur2501 Ah, yes... my country is all 'Weeeed', how original. :P

Bluh, I'm pretty much underwhelmed. Steam didn't do anything except recycle its cards and badges from last year and with even less effort. 😒

Apparently the theme is 'birds' (seeing their animated sticker freebies), but you wouldn't have guessed that at all from looking at their front page.

The only things they bothered with is adding stuff that can be bought via their points store. Some of those are useful, but I really hoped for some fun meta game event or something to interact with.

@mur2501 Ah, thanks! Sounds about right. I'll just have to believe you. :D The king was said to have ruled for quite a while too.

Egyptians in general weren't exactly black. Black people were used as slaves there. So it was fairly impressive that there was a black pharaoh who ruled over Ancient Egypt for a while.

@JonathanMBR

@JonathanMBR Oh, right, the whole programme was because there were archaeologists who discovered his tomb that was hidden for so long.

@JonathanMBR Oh wait, I remember something! I was watching either Discovery Channel or National Geographic (probably the latter).

They actually had a whole programme about the black pharaoh who ruled over ancient Egypt and uh.. Nubia or something, which I'd think is probably modern day Sudan. (Would make sense, seeing the map).

It was a pretty interesting programme to watch, he was apparently a smart and good king. Further details elude me, unfortunately. But at least I know there was at least a black pharaoh who ruled over a fairly big area in ancient history. :)

@JonathanMBR Pretty neat, Egyptian style too. Looking at the map, that isn't really surprising either as they border Egypt. Nifty! Must've had some history together in the past!

@thor Roflmao. That is uh... breezah-taal Dutch... as in.. uh... some teenagers might use this and it's very silly.

@thor Heh. Polen, Noordpool. Het poolgebied. I think we're safe. ;)

@thor Sounds like escargots, really. The only taste in them is from the herbs and spices you add to them. :P
