        Those statues inspired a waffle company in Japan with the same name and they are the most delicious things I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating.

        A red version was unveiled in May 2018 in Oslo, Norway. The unveiling was performed by a man, suspended by an overhead crane with hooks through his skin, who pulled off the cover.

        What the fuck?

Subreddit Rules

Keep It European

Memes should be relevant to Europe, Europeans, or European culture. Off-topic memes will be removed.

No Hate Speech or Bigotry

Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other forms of hate speech are strictly prohibited. Satire is welcome, but not at the expense of marginalized groups.

No Spam or Self-Promotion

Don’t flood the sub with your own content or links. Participate genuinely.

English Preferred, but Multilingual Welcome

While English is the main language, memes in other European languages are allowed if the humor is clear or a translation is provided.

Be Kind and Constructive

Disagreements happen, but keep discussions civil. Personal attacks, trolling, or harassment will result in bans.
