A_ADanes launch bid to 'buy California' after Trump's Greenland threats
not_that_guy05Please take us.
I’ll pay Denmark to buy us…
radixWait, no, he might take that deal and doom the rest of us to his bullshit for generations.
Get into Cali before they do it!
FuglyDuckdoes everyone who happens to be there when the exchange happens…get danish citizenship?
Asking for a friend.
lumpenproletariatNo but you get 33% off of your next danish.
Fun fact Denmark doesn’t have birthright citizenship. Trump could score a win in that regard by giving it to Denmark.
ByteJunkBig win, huge win, he should do it.
Why would you want citizenship in shitty little denmark lol
EU passport?
To be fair, in the Danes bought California, and made it part of Denmark, you wouldn’t really be able to call or small anymore. California is roughly the same size as Germany+Austria
Trump’s over here saying calada should be the 51st state, meanwhile california, oregon, and washington are all like “peace out bitches!”
If so ill need to buy a camper an real quick…
I’d settle for some free Lego sets.
I like the way you think, yes.
DominusOfMegadeusNew England wants in on this
Late2ThePartyI second this! Do I hear a third?
BigDaddySlimThe Massholes accept!
My homies!
And by new england, you mean all of what people call new england, but also NY, PA, OH, MI, IL. Sorry Indiana…you kinda suck.
I vote “no” on Ohio, but the rest are welcome. Also, Maryland and Delaware can come too.
Fuckin Ohio.
I know we suck! I’m sorry! I want to come too :(
Hellfire103Great story, but I feel I should mention that the Daily Heil does not qualify as news, due to the sheer volume of disinformation it publishes.
There’s no mention of it in news in Denmark.
All the tabloids are pointing to this page as “source”: denmarkification.com
It’s obviously a satirical site. My guess is that it’s made by an American.
According to the whois data, the site is registered to someone in Reykjavik, Iceland… Not that that necessarily is correct.
Well if we’re doing that now: anyone interested in adopting Massachusetts?
No offense to the Danes, but I’d like to see what the Nederlanders are offering before we make a decision
Freedom is priceless
Good choice.

Isn’t California’s GDP about ten times that of Denmark?
I guess that purchase would be quite a bargain.
40 times! I looked it up when I saw the headline.
I think it would technically be a reverse takeover
Is there a go fund me page I can chip into. I’m not even Danish but support this message.
Does that mean we could stop supporting the red states of the US on our backs? We already have and love Legoland, might as wella add Hamlet.
Fuck you guys, Canada has dibs.
Canada/Cascadia, Cancadia
Oh please, we’ve been over this. You guys get to burn the white house, we bring kindling and a drum of gasoline. In return we get to kick comrade orangutan in the nads first and roast schmores on the house fire. As for the rest we split it with no dibs.
Quite funny statical thread. Here’s the same link but from Lemmy(dot)World instance :

Buy Maryland instead! We’re closer!
As a Californian I’m in
Also Californian, all in.
Could force us all to speak Danish and I’d still be down
No need for that, as I understand it most Danes are able to carry a conversation in English. But you might need to ditch 12h clocks and switch to SI units of measurement.
Same
CarlOg min økse!
Im not Californian, so give it a week so I can rent a friend’s spare bedroom there first
Trump’d probably jump at the chance to get rid of California. Should have gone for Florida or Texas.
Of course… then you’d have Florida or Texas. Euch.
wolfkinCalifornia already has Solvang, so there should be minimal culture shock
In these dark times it’s great to see the Danes responding to unpleasant orange chauvinism and bigotry with dry humour. It kind of deflates the mafia boss’s self importance.
I’m watching series 7 of a Danish TV programme called Badehotellet at the moment and it struck me that the Danish of humour it portrays is very much like the British, full of irony and self-deprecation. If they could buy the UK as well I’d be extremely happy.
Flying SquidNormally, I would complain about someone posting a Daily Mail link, but this is fucking hilarious.
