          Countryballs, the Dutch are asking their neighbors for clay. All saying no in disgust. When Dutch ball goes to the sea, there is no objection. Dutch ball claims clay. I would say it should be 'geef' instead of 'gib', but who am I to judge.

          EDIT: Linky as tall images don’t do well in web, unless you are an ant.

          If you hit source (jerboa) on the image you get this:

          Which is an interesting format and I wish I could just save your image. I guess this is a request to the devs.

        And much like the beaver, many of our artificial flavors are made from the expressed anal glands of the Dutch.

        Do you really? Because I hear from Europeans they hate you.

        I joke because personally I love the Dutch, but not necessarily Amsterdam. Such a great country.

        The Danes have you beat in friendliness though I think… They’re so damn happy I can’t understand it.

    Even the history of this is fascinating. This is the “Moses Bridge”, and it’s a renovated part of the old dyke system that was used to prevent attacking armies from getting in - because the dykes and levee’s had blocked the sea so effectively, they realised they could stop attackers by… flooding them out. Literally.

    When it came to renovate this area, they wanted to provide access without denigrating the fact it was an old defensive structure, hence this unique sea-level bridge.

        I understand that a flood in the Netherlands would spell catastrophe but it sounds like the water just can’t flood there, because it is the Netherlands, not because of the amazing stuff that they built

          The water could flood, but it knows it would be met with swift draining of another polder in retaliation.

          The sea simply behaves out of sheer intimidation.
