Ireland is wrong in a lot of these.

Last time someone told us Finns our food was bad they got an award winning pizza named after them.

Religion* is wrong.

Exactly, russia is extremly traditional

Agreed, there must have been a terrible mistake.

Finland is beer Europe, not vodka

BolshajaSvinja
Ei ole vodkaa.
Aefinn
Kyllä se on vodkaa. Suomessa käytetään sanaa viina, mutta maailmalle myytävä on nimeomaan "Koskenkorva vodka" ja tasan samaa tuotetta.
BolshajaSvinja
No näköjään EU:n mukaan on, mutta suomalaisittain taas ei. Varsin erikoista.
Jorjuice
Is north Italy richer than south Italy ?
Earan
Famously so
Zorrodidnothingwrong
Northern Italy is much richer than the South. That's why they made a party called Lega Nord and tried to divide the country in two.
Mugfan
Prejudice? This is pretty fuckin' acurate for where I live. *Opens beer and enjoys bad food*
MissSpelledTattoo
UK! Or northern Germany, Netherlands, or...Iceland ?
Mugfan
Central-Western Germany, close to the Netherlands. Good guess!
MissSpelledTattoo
Ah yes. I lived in Hessen for half dozen years. Berlin for 3 but that was before the wall came down. I still do miss a nice fest brat, more
tordendue
in #6 it felt vad seeing denmark as a part of 'vodka europe'. we drink tonnes of beer man
onlyhalfghost
Yeah, that curve is drawn pretty badly. It should come down around the middle of Finland and curl around Poland.
edelstahlman
Same for Germany
NicoHoej
Not to mention our many breweries, definitely NOT vodka europe.
rezpawner
More than half of this is bullshit.
SaltyInternetPirate
AsAHistorian
At least 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 15, 17, and 18, maybe more, are complete bullshit.

unless you make a simplified, overgeneralized graphic for that statement in 2 seconds, I can't believe that statement
DownvotesAreFun
I live in Austria, a region that is often very close to the dividing lines, and many are just wrong. Most prominent alcohol and religion.
reallyunfunnypun
the other half is just shit.
mechanicalchaos
You should make a graph picturing so.

Italy and Greece new Europe??? XD
DildoNecklaceDesk
The balkans in general
PigMarshBetweenTwoSaltWaters
Also Ireland. It was in the dark ages until the '50s.
CurlySwede
These are all extreme oversimplifications, some are plainly ignorant and wrong.
AskingTheRealQuestions
Really, do you think a chart that separates Europe into "bad cuisine" and "good cuisine" is oversimplifying/simply wrong?
Falanxzealot
'Some'?

France in most of these:

I seem to relate to France... never knew it

As a Swiss I am also rather confused about pretty much all of these

AsAHistorian
A lot of these (at least 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 15, 17, and 18, maybe more) are complete bullshit.
daguq
I'm confused by the idea that the French are sexually repressed.
Gilganesha
French here, and it's simple. Be a romantic who can't separate sexe from love, and don't forget to be emotionally reppressed as well.
daguq
I've been living in France for 13 years. I see no evidence of sexual repression.
Gilganesha
The french culture isn't particularly sexually repressed (though it used to be much more relaxed in the 70-80's), but some individuals are
PrincessCatBucket
Uh I'm Irish and I can tell you that we are both sexually AND emotionally repressed thank you very much!
ruferto
i question both of those things
bonoisapox
Haha came to say exact same thing
BigSnicker
Ya, that's the entire brown region. The idea that the Germans are LESS sexually repressed than Italians... is hilarious.
footfinger
same in poland
NotGoneYet
Greedy!
d0nni
and definitely not protestant. lol
karrik478
And Catholic.
IamMadeOfShamrocks
You took the words right out of my head and typed them into "reality"
safetcup
Same in Iceland
VenerableInheritance
Finland in the team for sure. But on the other hand, I'd be more convinced we can fix the damn sink by ourselves at least...
DooksandPooks
Thank you.

I am 78% Irish an can confirm it is true.

This comment.

Also both protestant and Catholic! Magical wee country
RoutemasterFlash
And Atheist, according to these maps.

Also loud, deafening and quiet with respect to the number of Guinnesses we've ingested

I for one love that they put Ireland as Protestant
EoinMcCormack
Little not wee. Honest to fuck I hate that. Tírín do bhí tú ag iarraidh an gaelainn. But that would be weird and not used.

I wasn't really.. I was making a bit of a joke and that's all. I've got ancestry from knockaun, I'm not just another random idiot.
tanomil
Wtf, we love beer in denmark. Were the fucking beer capitol
Pacemaker
Easy there cowboy. As far as I know we have the highest density of breweries over here in Bamberg, Germany. 1 for less than 5000 people =)
Killersmail
All of this is rather cute. Just look at who drinks the most beer per capita and then come back - guy living in Czech republic
RockPapersBeer
Yeah this is bullshit. Austria ranks 4th in beer consumption per head and we're marked as a wine country.
RockPapersBeer
I mean... We drink a lot of wine too, but still.
theslatcher
Fun fact; Danish people consume more wine than beer(same for Swedish people), somehow Norwegians are the ones to consume more beer than wine
Cutsforhugs
Can confirm, have taken boat to buy cheap, 24+ packs of beer from denmark before.
uitSCHOT
wait... Denmark (or scandinavia in general) and cheap beer in one sentence...?
Cutsforhugs
Well, cheap relatively speaking. Don't know what constitutes cheap in the rest of the world. :v It was beer made to be bought in bulk 1/2
Cutsforhugs
and specifically targeting the swedish that took the boat, commonly to buy beer.
grenzdebil
As a German: That's cute.
tanomil
Pff, you're known for your fancy teaparty beer, we have beer on tap mawfuggah

Your refundable deposits aren't that high. You should be able to afford bottles.

That's Belgium. You might want to check where large quantities of Carlsberg are actually made.

as a Dutchman, sorry, but we already have a holy trinity of beer, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany.

And Heineken! /s
ElmyrDeHory
The same in Poland. We were vodka people back then, under soviet domination. Since, idk, middle 90s, we are definitely beer (57%) people.
MojoOhNo
Which beer type do you guys from Belgium/Germany/Netherlands prefer?
MojoOhNo
My experience Is you love your wheat beer where further north black lagers/porters are preferred, thus it's a matter of preference is it not
zombiejedediah
Every town or village has their own preference.

nolittleplans
You can tell a russian made thes maps. That last one of Russia based on West opinion should be just a giant single color lableded "nothing"
HmmICantThinkOfACleverUsernameRightNow
Well, at least for Americans. I could maybe come up with four quasi-regions.
nolittleplans
Yes but for the "west" nomenclature in this case they are pointing at us and bit
TrustMeImKindOfADoctor
Yep
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
I think it should have said "created the AK-47" over the whole thing.
ProudBird
not everyone in "west" are retarded, someone have geography classes in school
nolittleplans
Not about IQ mostly about not caring
DownvotesAreFun
I dont know what part of the west you are from, but the education system must be shit.
nolittleplans
Again not being able to read the context of the joke makes me wonder about your education. Less about actual identifiers more about pride
nolittleplans
Also the irony that you don't realize it's an atlas of prejudice and that my note of "nothing" would suit so damn well is astounding
AsAHistorian
The western part should say "Communist," but, yeah, "nothing" over the rest of it.
Lapkin
Actaually, all communists are at the US now. Brighton beach is a national park where USSR is carefully preserved.
nolittleplans
Yes all of them..... Every single one none in China or anywhere ever in any part of Russia
Lapkin
I'm not sure how good you are at Geography, but China is a little bit too far away from the Europe to be considered as a part of it.
nolittleplans
But guess what half of Russia is in....
EricFromAccounts
Not to be pedantic, but Italy is NOT sexually repressed, and in Spain, it DOES rain, mainly on the plain.
justsignedupforthishit
Dude, totally pedantic. Carry on.
AliBarber
I dunno.. The sicilian love for their mothers could keep Freud pretty happy

Uhh... not... you? Some... lady... over... there
luppioto
That's actually one of the few true things here. Italians are utterly and completely sexually repressed. Take it from an italian
Potatopeelerkind
You have a few very strong outliers, and they're pulling up the average.
WhathaveIdonetodeserveImgur
Well,maybe u are?
madeanaccounttocorrectpeople
I think past of the problem of Italy's sexual repression is that most people especially men live at home until they're married.
NineToTenToElevenToTwelve
As an Italian, mate, we are very, VERY sexually repressed. Took me moving countries to realise that libido is healthy and ok.
Zorrodidnothingwrong
Florence must be in another country, then.
WhathaveIdonetodeserveImgur
Or maybe you come from a very catholic family and you think it must be the same for all of us. Or just ugly.
ashmenon
Oh wow really? I always thought of Italians as oversexualised, if anything. I always imagined them humping everything.
CatsIsTheAnswer
Oversexualisation and repression aren't mutually exclusive
WhathaveIdonetodeserveImgur
He is probably from the south. Hopelessly catholic over there
ashmenon
Man the more I find out about other peoples the more I want to find out.
luppioto
Esattamente quello che è successo anche a me! C'è un approccio molto malato alle tematiche sessualità in Italia secondo me.
WhathaveIdonetodeserveImgur
Mi sa che vivevate in paesucci molto religiosi. Nelle grandi città altro che repressione!
luppioto
Roma, ed è la peggiore. A Milano va un attimo meglio effettivamente

Italy has sex in cars with papers on the windows cause you cant do it at home and cant wear condoms.. although you had that porngirl in parl
CatsIsTheAnswer
Sex in cars with papers on the windows? What 70s movie made you think that? :D
Wanderlay
Seen it 3-4 times when I've been there. Last time was 8 years ago though.. Never seen it in any other countries
CatsIsTheAnswer
Was it in a particular area? Asking before I never noticed it
UrsaUrsa
Can't wear condoms or -won't- wear condoms?
Wanderlay
Cant ofc. The pope will spank your dick off you otherwise.

Spiky Italian dicks. Condoms don't work.

Belgium is Catholic too! Almost no protestants here.

I'm having a hard time understanding what's revolutionary and what isn't according to this map
jetflight
So are Poland and Lithuania.
SvarvSven
In Sweden you don't go to church on a regular basis, you don't pray. You don't read the bible and so on. Protestant? No, not even close.
ydwyrd
They have an entire brand of Catholicism named after them!
ThanatosElNyx
1) I wonder what percentage of Irish Catholics actually believe in transubstantiation. If they don't then they are technically Protestants.
ThanatosElNyx
2) Of course that is oversimplifying things but hey the OP charts started it.
Earan
Protestant and Catholic are cultural terms as much as they are theological, especially wrt Ireland
Whousedmychapstick
And we are both Emotionally and Sexually Repressed

Yeah, you shoot and blow up the Protestants.

Someone tell the artist that the SEVERAL "English Revolution(s)" basically CREATED western capitalism and modern parliamentary democracy.
LarfleezePlz
AlmaAdelier
I think they meant actual, violent revolutions. We had a civil war though that created the modern U.K. Government
CanadianMadCow
And a number of jacobite wars after that. Don't follow House Stuart, they're no good a uprisings.
casualnihilist
30 years war in cental europe?
EricFromAccounts
Combative revolutions aren't binary. That historians universally call our civil war(s) "Revolutions" ought to count for something.
Liammozz
I like to think because we where civil about our civil wars we are better than the rabble who have to resort to violence haha
Rabh
the war of the three kingdoms was really brutal, not much civility from the various English factions
EricFromAccounts
pssssssr I like to think so too but it's improper to say it in a public forum where the rest of the world can see how haughty we really are
