What are the historical explanations for pic related? Why are less industrious people more hospitable?
I don't believe this. Scandinavians just talk with their guests sitting at a bare table?
nordic influenced cultures have a strong individualist ethic and honour culture of equality, so it is sensible and respectful both towards guest and host to get your own food.less individualistic cultures are more likely to provide food for the sake of social bonding.
>>18241167I remember scandis and northern euros trying to justify sending friends home when dinner time came around rather than inviting them to eat dinner with them.
>>18241173I don't understand. What is the point of inviting someone over if you're not going to eat together or at least drink something? You can talk on the phone, or at school/work/somewhere else if it needs to be in person.
their food sucks, offering it to someone would be an insult
>>18241162I personally think it can have something to do with abundance of food in pre industrial period. Sweden and Finland had famines into 1860s despite being fairly wealthy by the time
>>18241162>another latinx seethe thread
>>18241162this map is 100% correctI, as a dutchman would never give a stranger food neither would anyone from limburg, flanders or brabant, unless they lived on the belgian side of the border of course, then these people would be much more likely to give you food!
I've never been in someones home without getting food. The map is bullshit.
>>18241162Depends on the length of visit.

>>18241162Why did the icelanders row their island closer to Europe for this study if they were just going to be rude anyway?

Culture of individualism and self-reliance comes from Protestantism
>>18241162Did this study combine England/Wales? I feel like the Welsh would probably be a "likely" otherwise. >>18241554Kek
>>18241162most industrious parts are switzerland and southern germany, so you are retarded
>>18241162This map is literally just conjecture unsourced guesswork bullshit
>>18241162I genuinely don't understand this.How can you invite someone over and not offer food and drink? Friends and family you always share food and drink with (though it's sometimes hospitable for the guest to bring food/drink sometimes too). If you're gonna be hanging out for any length of time, sharing alcoholic beverages or offering a meal is just normal and **human**. This should be a thing that transcends cultures.
>>18241864Pretty sure this stat almost exclusively refers to kids visiting their friends. Sometimes I'd eat a friend's but there also were a lot of occasions where I'd wait upstairs and just continue to play vidya while they ate. Someone even once drove off to a restaurant once to eat while I stayed at their home and waited
>>18241162What is the explanation for this entirely made up infographic?
>>18242224Lmao what?
>>18241162I always thought this was weird until I understood what it was implying. I always saw people attacking Scandis for not giving people food, and I thought “what’s the problem? Just because someone enters your home they need food now?” but what’s being implied is that they wouldn’t give you food even if they were eating, and that is indeed strange. For example, here in America, if I am going to eat in front of a friend, I would always offer them food.

>>18241162that's so fucking weird because you would think most Americans would be bong or nazi descent but it's rude to not offer your guests food or drinks
>>18241864In our culture we hate food. We've never ate food.
>>18241283TRVTHNVKE
They aren't. You're very likely to be given a drink as a refreshment in Germanic countries, not food. Offering food is usually reserved for friends or coworkers, people you see often, rather than a perfect stranger. But a stranger will always be offered something to drink, with the type of beverage depending on the context of the situation. Sometimes alcohol is merited, other times simple refreshment, like a cooling drink if it's hot out, or something warm and stimulating like coffee if it's cold.
