This kinda makes me feel old.

The version I heard I thought it was New Zealand... 😝

[–] Kraiden@kbin.earth 14 points 5 days ago

New Zealand doesn't exist. Show me New Zealand on a map

(this joke works because New Zealand is left off of a stupid number of maps)

Wait, it’s not Iceland?

[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I've also heard it's Australia

But then where do the waffles come from? And the chocolates? And diamonds?

All those things come from Bielefeld !

You have been lied to your whole life !

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ok, you convinced me. Where do I sign up?

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 5 days ago

Uhhh...

That's a great great question..

"Where is Bielefeld ?"

We know that it exists. But where ?

Bielefeld? The football club from Armenia? πŸ˜‰

Where does black metal come from?

Mostly Norway, Sweden, and (to a lesser extent) Denmark.

Also from a profound sense of alienation combined with a tendency towards macabre flamboyancy and just subjective stylistic preferences of expression, I guess 🀷

Ahchchcually USA has by far the most metal bands, but yeah Finland leads the per capita list by far.

Hate to be this guy, but it's Norway.

That sounds like something a Finn would say.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 5 points 5 days ago

So Finns do exist, other than Belgian people

Careful, that word's really offensive in most parts of the galaxy.

Except in serious screenplays, of course.

I once won the Rory Award for The Most Gratuitous Use of that word in a Serious Screenplay, you know.. Then someone stole it, of course..

Pretty sure it was Idaho
