Having your country's flag on your property

Oh wild guess... USA?

I've seen this more in Norway than in the US, people love their flags here

Denmark too. You’re not a success in Denmark until you have a flagpole, two kids (no more, no less), an electric car, a robot mower, a robot hoover and a sunken trampoline.

I moved to Denmark recently. The Danish love to fly their flag. Half of the houses have a flagpole. It's weird for me because no one in Poland does this.

Is that guy okay?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Nope. Storing all of Google street view in one human's brain takes a toll on you.

But seriously, if you haven't seen him before, the guy is nuts. He has to come up with challenges to make geoguesser difficult for himself now:

Isn’t putting up flags an American thing too? Don’t really see this kind of nationalism in other coutnries.

In England we only really put them up for football and racism.

[–] akilou@sh.itjust.works -1 points 4 months ago

In the US, we have our own special flag just for racism.

Northern Ireland, plenty of flags over here.

We were there a couple of weeks ago. Seems different neighbourhoods had different flags. We elected not to fly a courtesy flag on our boat as all the alternatives were partisan one way or another.

It's one of the more obvious signs that you're in either an unionist or republican area. Kerb painting, murals, street names in Irish.
