[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 2 years 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 🀷

[–] Knuschberkeks@leminal.space 3 points 2 years ago

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

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

That sounds like something a Finn would say.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years 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..
