@mur2501 Yeah, well, beyond the VOC I've never really had too much interest in Dutch historical affairs outside of Europe, heh. I'd check this up, but I'll just believe you there (until I'm not so lazy). ;)
@freemo Shows that anyone can nominate anyone, I guess.
@mur2501 I just think English and Dutch probably differ enough because they colonized different regions with similar-ish names.
UK had a long history with India, and NL had a long history with Indonesia.
@mur2501 Then you've got a different definition than we have. If we want to say Indian, it is Indiaas. If we want to say Indonesian it is Indonesisch. If we want to say Indonesian-Dutch, it is Indo.
So our Indo-Chinese restaurants is actually Chinese restaurants with heavy Indo influences. You'd never find this food in China or in Indonesia as it is here. It's totally adjusted to our Dutch taste buds and it is so goddamn delicious.
@mur2501 Indo-Chinese as in Indonesian-Chinese? There's a shitton of those restaurants here. Delicioussssss.
@mur2501 So driving on the left is like pee. Got it! 😋
@mur2501 See, the point is moot. ;)
@freemo Give me a good internet connection and a well-modded Minecraft, and I might just pull it off!
@mur2501 They just drive on the wrong side of the road, so the point is moot. 😋
@mur2501 I've read Dutchies complaining that Germans drive better than their fellow Dutchies. I've read Germans complaining that Dutchies drive better than their fellow Germans.
I guess Germans and Dutchies drive about the same. :P
@mur2501 *Snickers at the sport*
@mur2501 Move to side if that can be done safely. At traffic lights, when your light is on green, wait anyway until the emergency vehicle has passed.
@FailForward Good points in general.
Let's just remember that back then, even if we created things from scratch more often, it was a relatively small group doing the programming.
Now we have way more people invested in it, and even if they mostly do clicky programming, there's probably a bit more variety and results.
I guess it's all about perspective.
@blogseohelp That's a bit odd to ask as your first toot here.
@doltamalte Hello newbie, welcome to the Fediverse!
@mur2501 Yeah, that movie tried to show the gritty reality that it would've been back then.
Play a movie with sound off and subtitles on.
That's the experience. :P

Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.
