    Not sure how one can put alt-text on an image on Lemmy, so I’ll leave here a description of the cartoon:

    The perfect European should be (there are comical draws for each nationality):

    Cooking… like a Brit. Available… as a Belgian. Talkative… as a Finn. Humorous… as a German. Driving… like the French. Technical… as a Portuguese. Flexible… as a Swede. Famous… as a Luxembourger. Patient… as an Austrian. Controlled… as an Italian. Sober… as the Irish. Humble… as a Spaniard. Generous… as a Dutchman. Organised… as a Greek. Discreet… as a Dane.

    PS: Note that some stereotypes are ‘recycled’ from the original NATO version where they were attributed to other nationalities.

      I though it was being absolutely brutal with “Hung… as a German”

      You can add it in the square brackets with markdown. The browser itself can read that text, but I’m not sure if Lemmy apps do as well.

        That’s for embedded pictures in comments only, unfortunately. OP would have to put the description in the text field when submitting a picture. It’s a bit clunky.

    I was confused until I got to Englishman. I had to survive on fish and chips when I went to the UK, couldn’t stand anything else.

      I’m guessing it’s because Denmark was the first country to legalize pornography, I think the person in the image is trying to sell pornographic magazines.

      At least that was the only way I could get it to make sense.

    As a Portuguese, I’m flattered. Damn. Thanks whoever designed that, you’re very kind :)

    Edit: wait wait wait… I think OP is Portuguese as well… That explains it 🙃
