Aw, they redraw it to include non-EU countries. :(

The old one had Sweden and Finland dangling in at the top right like a cock and balls.

It’s not two bad.

So does the water go the opposite way in Australia or not?!

It falls upwards out of the toilet

  • Constant viking raids throughout most of history
  • Nowadays we get a lot of shipwrecked yachts and other pleasure vessels
  • Very low taxes in the northernmost province, very high taxes in the bit next to portugal.
  • Similarly to ireland we have very low taxes for corporations. Ireland tends to attract more business this way because billionaires face persistant looting when they settle down in 2. It's just in our culture.

I used to live on the 2's Sharpie Cove, right as the two seas would smash together into one. The storms were immense, but it was the only point on the entire damn island free of seagulls

[–] udon@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just because its shape vaguely resembles a 2, that doesn't mean that the country is called "2". It's actually called 3.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah but it's pronounced "Two"

[–] xav@programming.dev 12 points 1 week ago

It depends. The south accent makes it sound like "five".

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Better than living in Br*tain

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

You can say Brutain on the internet.

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or Spa*n.

Why can’t we use the letter * here?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You're right! They misspelled Br*ta*n!

edit: Should have considered that we're rendering markdown before I used asterisks so wantonly.

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I th*nk something broke for you. Usually it only messes with a single letter for us.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

In the spirit of heeding your username, I shall engage.

In markdown, if you use a single asterisk it doesn't mean much unless it's part of a list. However, if you use two, it will italicize the text between them. Britain, for example, would bring Brtan because the T and A (yes, I'm aware of the abbreviation) would be between them.

edit: Seven days later, I saw this post again. I realize now you weren't talking about the formatting but how many instances of the offending character to replace, like non global stream editing or sort of like ƒ.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 15 points 1 week ago

It's a big country, lots of cultural differences. Unfortunately the education system is pretty bad here.

The only country name we've learnt to spell is Portugal. We're pretty bad at all the others.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s nice and quiet, with little pollution.

In 1952 we passed a constitutional amendment banning traffic from our air space, resulting in all transatlantic flights crossing the northern routes you fly today.

Looks like you'd have some good point breaks. Like legendary.

Why do euros, mexican pesos and peruvian soles have the same design? Grey/silver outer ring with a gold center

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Bi-metallic design is mainly used to make the coins harder to counterfeit, to make it more expensive to counterfeit than the coin's value

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

To elaborate, it's really easy to forge "regular" coins and really attractive to forge high value coins.

For example, the 1 British Pound coin was, before the redesign, widely forged:

As of March 2014 there were an estimated 1,553 million of the original nickel-brass coins in circulation,[6] of which the Royal Mint estimated in 2014 that just over 3% were counterfeit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_pound_coin

(Note for any languages that use the comma as a decimal separator: 1,553 million is referring to 1.5 billion)

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Those buggers wouldn’t unlock supermarket trolleys, so you’d have to get rid of them at a McDonald’s, where the staff don’t look too close at the coinage.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

In the UK the key from a tin of corned beef will operate a trolley. Do with this information what you wish.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Canadian toonie as well

[–] Alvaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

If I had to guess, probably all come from some sort of template coin made by a single supplier or made by the same machine that has template designs.

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

Looks expensive to live in, it's all costal.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I prefer the pre 2007 design where Sweden and Finland can't be unseen.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 10 points 1 week ago

Oh, they added a "modesty Norway" to cover up that filthy border.

[–] Thorry@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

Someone send this to Randall Monroe, how fucked would we be if we actually created this piece of land?

[–] Martj9@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well you know in 2 we have a nice weather... we intercept all the Gulf of America Stream

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Not for long!

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

We try harder

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I had a chance to visit once, but decided against it, the weather there sucks. I ended up going to denmark in February instead
