This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Hold up the Dutch straight up put chocolate sprinkles onto buttered toast and you're coming at exclusively at the US? And Danish were named after somewhere. Strudel... that sounds awfully germanic... I think Europe is gaslighting us. Also I've had European milk chocolate, holy shit.
The danish aren't all overweight though. 50% of white people in the US are now. 60% or more of the general population last I checked, and it takes an immigrant on average 7 years to become as overweight as the average American.
So something is different.
