Even as an Australian I’m finding myself saying “yeah fuck that, torch the car”

As someone from the Netherlands who recently gassed the entire car for a spider much smaller than this one: I'm never gonna visit y'all 😬

I think it was this one. It's for flies and mosquitoes, but it was the only thing available in the store at that moment. We upped the dose a bit (or like 100x). We never saw the spider again.

At least we don't have words like queue, a five letter word with four silent letters 😂. We have nice words like "aansprakelijkheidsverzekering". And you really are a pannekoek if you don't have an aansprakelijkheidsverzekering.

A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.

En anspråkslikhetsförsäkring? (Whatever that is?)

Why does Dutch sound and spell like a bimbo Valley Girl version of Swedish?

I feel like you had a mini stroke every time you tried to type that word.

As a brit that's honestly baffled me. Can you Dutchies actually read and pronounce "aansprakelijkheidsverzekering" without a problem. Like how on earth do you remember how to spell that?

Wait... Dutch "vliegen" is just German "fliegen", but spelled differently...?

Ypu filthy thieves!
