    It looks like I have to choose between good sex or good food. I think I’ll take the food, please.

    Italy and most of France are sexually repressed? Aren’t they kinda the most famous countries for the opposite?

      They are famous for being very sexually forward and aggressive, but not about accepting “sexual deviants” or whatever they call gay people, bdsm positive people, etc… lol

        Perhaps the theory is that Catholic culture and family values mean that all the sex is more hidden, and therefore “repressed”. Not really true for France at least, though.

          France’s culture is basically “I was raised Catholic and it fucked me up”

    I consider the Portuguese as quiet.

    And why are large parts of Germany and Czechia not beer?

          A joke has to be somewhat accurate to land or to be funny. Otherwise it’s not a joke, it’s just “stuff”.

          There might be a cultural difference what quality standards are expected from a joke here.

          At least these few things that are not just “North vs. South” could be a bit more accurate.

      It’s not perfectly accurate but the south-west of Germany, especially along the rivers of Rhine and Moselle, is wine country.

      I’ve seen other maps where the beer, wine, and vodka regions all overlap onto Czechia. While I’d say it’s mostly beer here, there’s definitely a good amount of wine too. Moravia is a big wine growing region.

      I think it means that they do that thing ONLY 21 days per year and the rest of the days the other thing.

      So 21 days working and the rest of the days living

      Vs.

      21 days living and the rest of the days working

    Ireland is definitely in the cultural Catholic side for part 10. I know it doesn’t make good linrz, but Poland was ekee out in the religious version.

      Ireland is a lot less Catholic than it was a few decades ago, and decreasing. They legalised same-sex marriage and abortion some years ago, and the church is making noises about stepping back from its position of social authority while it can still look like it’s doing so voluntarily.

      Poland is probably a decade or two behind Ireland. The standing of the church is in freefall there (albeit falling from a high mark), largely due to the church having tied itself to ultraconservative politics.

        Yes, I understand that. Ireland is still more catholic than Protestant. My point about Poland is that clean straight lines don’t seem to be important, it about which is religious.

        There are different things being measured between the 2 maps I referenced.

    I take issue with 06. Denmark is 100% beer country. This chart seems to forget Carlsberg and Tuborg exist. The instant Friday hits water get replaced with beer.

      The northern half of Germany also is beer country. Vodka country starts somewhere in Eastern Poland.

    I’m pretty sure the poor vs rich is very wrong. And catholic correlates to homophobic which is also wrong.

    Olive oil, coffee and tomato at least checks out.

        Overly religious countries tend to ban same sex marriage. Religious very often correlates to homophobia.

          lol no shit, I’m a gay guy living in an overly religious country. which is why I’m confused about how the other person says that that correlation is “wrong”.

            The southern countries are marked as not homophobic but marked as catholic.

    I guess Ireland should be moved closer to France or Iberia for 2, 3, 10 and 20.

    Also how are Greece and Rome in New Europe?
