In Dutch, “haai” (shark) sounds very similar to “hi” (the English word), same for “hooi” (hay) and “hoi” (hi). Which leads to this hilarious comic I saw once where a shark meets a bale of hay ^{edit: somehow I typed bay of hale}

Oh I’d never call myself a conservative, and most conservative parties here are right-wing as well.

Edit: I should probably start by saying that this is somewhat off-topic.

In the Netherlands we tend to rank our parties along left-right and progressive-conservative axes separately. Conservative-left gets you Christians who care about the poor. In other countries there’s also the “I want the government to support our workers”, “I want to go back to Soviet times” and “I’m leftist but LGBTQ is wrong” types.

At least here in the Netherlands, there was a lot of commotion because a data centre tried to buy a windmill park meant to power households as their dedicated power source

It tells them that none of that matters, they’re still superior because they’re white. In fact, none of their problems would exist if it wasn’t for those people
