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

    I consider the Portuguese as quiet.

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

    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.

      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

      As a common stereotype in Europe, we see the southern countries as…not so hard working.

      It doesn’t say it is. It is called “Maps of Prejudice” after all.

    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.

    18 should be “people who need a plumber” and “people who don’t have plumbing”.

    The lines in map 4, 5, 9, 12, 13, 17 and 19 are approximately the same. Which means: Potato = bad cuisine, eaten while walking, people who live here in the northern half are hard working, emotionally repressed, only live 21 days per year, and it’s cloudy. Tomato = good cuisine, eaten sitting, people who live here in the southern half are lazy, sexually repressed, only work 21 days per year, and it’s sunny.
