  • Timezones are fine to program around.
    DST is a bit of a pickle to plan around, but can be done just fine by a computer program.

    Historical dates; considering leap years, skipped leap years, and times when leap years weren’t a thing or when humanity just decided we skip a bunch of years; are the bane of all that is good.


  • It is in the style of the original, where during Covid the page on “Migrating to the Netherlands” simply just started with “Do not migrate to the Netherlands”, before expanding on the Covid restrictions on place and what foreign nationals currently in the Netherlands are to do.

    On one hand: Now that’s loud & clear communication. On the other hand, “Just don’t” really ties in to the stereotype of Dutch directness/rudeness.








  • I offer you Indonesian, which has a word for “he/she/they/it” (dia) but no words for “he” or “she”. Indonesian has words for older sibling (kakak) and younger sibling (adik) but it’s rare to specify the sibling’s gender. It ever has rude slang for “primary reproductive organ” (titis, among many others) without specifying wether it concerns a vagina or penis. TL;DR Indonesia is based.
