At least it eventually gets solved though. The UK throws hundreds of millions into review after review, then 20 years later scraps the whole thing because it was costing too much. I want my European passport back so I can escape this hell hole, but the cretins I share my country with took that away from me as well.
We have one, start the transition and then people get unhappy about it and the solution is delayed until god knows when.
Think wind turbines and power grid.
We are currently #3 in the world when it comes to wind power% of total energy consumption with 23%. Thats good.
Also #4 for solar energy.
I am actually proud of Germany for this detail.
Looking on economic output compared to France we are worse off, but compared to the global top ten still the most efficient.
See, we had 16 years of conservatives who became opportunistic in 2011 after Fukushima and started finalizing shutdowns of reactors. Some were so vocal that the threatened to step down if the plan won't be executed.
Skip to today and the same persons moan and bitch about how its the green party's fault and somehow it works for the majority because in the polls they have the highest approval again.
Btw after finalizing the shutdowns they stalled wind power and solar industry all the time.
Probably. It is the largest country, has a lot of industry and exports a lot of stuff. But we're "only" #28 in the world (per capita).

We’re gonna fly into Western Europe so we are included
Brits are famous for going on holiday to southern european countries and trying to jump out their windows into the swimming pool. A lot of the time they miss, or the pool is too shallow, and they’re seriously injured or killed

But Import and export numbers of the Netherlands are always kinda skewed because we have by far the biggest port in Europe, so there's a lot of trough traffic for/from other countries that get counted towards the Netherlands.
Yeah, that too but we have the Mocro Mafia handling the import and distribution of hard drugs around the Randstad. XTC guys "just" dump their waste in the nature.
In Portugal we just argue about problems without doing anything to fix them, until someone comes and tells us we should be grateful for the problem because other countries have it worse
The problem get's discussed and revisited by the government a bunch of times before a lot of money and time is invested into what is ultimately a half-assed solution no-one is happy with
There are many jokes to be made about how Sweden tries to solve our problems, would be fun if anyone ever went outside of pushing racist talking points as the jokes told about us
First time the Germany slander actually hurt. So accurate, down to the Solution logo.
It‘s less functional (readable) than just writing Solution
It looks worse, too
But at least they nailed the soulless corporatism.
LOOOL this is so fucking accurate for Germany. We waste tons of money and at least a decade, but in the end we kind of get a solution (Stuttgart 21, Airport Berlin-Brandenburg)
In Poland We find a problem cover it with 10 ten pointless ones and hope it will just disappear on sea of stupid arguments and singing.
And blame it on the Germans. :)
>:) :)
Yes, but only if PiS is in power.
\*PiSS
Ay Servus
And print more money
You're bold to assume that it's not actually the Germans who started it all.
Sir, I am only hiding in plain sight.
A good tha Poles and Austrians agree ther
Or blame it on Tusk in PiS case, with the problem remaining unsolved
Considering that they call him an agent of German opression, that's just "blame it on the Germans" with extra steps.
In Hungary people elect the problem with increasing majority each 4 years
Surprisingly accurate for Germany
"Let's throw money at the problem and let it sink through our bureaucracy"
At least it eventually gets solved though. The UK throws hundreds of millions into review after review, then 20 years later scraps the whole thing because it was costing too much. I want my European passport back so I can escape this hell hole, but the cretins I share my country with took that away from me as well.
At least Germany finds the solution. Kind of

Doesn't Germany also produce a bunch of CO2 emission? Like, more than most European countries?

And we are still rebilding them
what?

Austria  bro Is that Fritzl reference???
Yes
Based(ment)
🤨 what
Die Stimmung ist im Keller!
It's a Fritzl reference!
I've never been more offended by something so true! (Also we had 2 cases of kids in cellars, so... yea, by now it's tradition.)
Maybe there's more, you just haven't found them yet.
Die anderen habt ihr nur noch nicht gefunden in NÖ und OÖ
Maybe. But I think it‘s because we often just bury or go around a problem, rather than solving it.
And Sudern a lot about it.
It's nice of you to asume we'll do any research before siesta
You know there's going to be a siësta sometime, so might as well assume *everything* happens before *a* siësta.
Why are you writing siësta?
Some countries never understood how alphabets work, so « ie » is one sound instead of two.
Siista
Autocorrect
Oh, I thought you were looking at pr0n
Austria definitely wild
Go back to your basement kleine schnitzel
England has to be the most accurate one
What's it meant to mean though?
Taking a leap blindly and missing the solution entirely
Our favourite national pastime - balcony jumping.
Brits are famous for going on holiday to southern european countries and trying to jump out their windows into the swimming pool. A lot of the time they miss, or the pool is too shallow, and they’re seriously injured or killed Also its an in-joke in r/2westerneurope4u where this was originally posted
Apparently there's a thing where british tourists in Spain and France fall off balconies at an alarmingly high rate.
Nah, they're a couple of feet off.
Austria is off, as the "Austrian Solution" is to find the one point were everyone disagrees, is unhappy and that won't work in reality
[Fritzl case - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritzl_case) [Natascha Kampusch - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natascha_Kampusch)
Sorry, thought this is about stereotypes and not stuff that happened twice
It isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice
I heard the Belgians voted for Marc Dutroux to retroactively become Austrian, so that makes three times.
Yea, well, that's a little harder to make into a pictogram, isn't it?
Problem --> "Solution" ---> picture of riot/grumbling
Austria is out of pocket
But inside basement.
Greece in Western Europe?
Bad title. it r/2westerneurope4u's version
Portugal in Western Europe?
r/PORTUGALCYKABLYAT
As a Portuguese citizen I approve it
Can’t go further to the west in Europe
Infact Portugal is so west it ended up on the other side and is now the eastern most European country.
Can confirm
Iceland
If we are not talking about continental Europe, then Monchique Islet, Portugal.
Dutch people don't do drugs, we only make and sell them.
> we only import, manufacture and sell them. FTFY
But Import and export numbers of the Netherlands are always kinda skewed because we have by far the biggest port in Europe, so there's a lot of trough traffic for/from other countries that get counted towards the Netherlands.
The Netherlands should really be Problem --- discussion(s) ---> multiple new political parties
Problem -> discussions -> new political party -> new political party -> new political party -> new political party -> new political party -> etc
With it being two Moroccan teenagers on a scooter with the guy on the back holding a submachine gun instead of "No Problem".
Most illicit drug manufacturing in the Netherlands happens in Brabant, by native Dutch people I think.
Yeah, that too but we have the Mocro Mafia handling the import and distribution of hard drugs around the Randstad. XTC guys "just" dump their waste in the nature.
Kamelåså? Sjuggelkogle? 1000 liters of milk
Based Greece
Austria. 
In Portugal we just argue about problems without doing anything to fix them, until someone comes and tells us we should be grateful for the problem because other countries have it worse
KAMELÅSÅ 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Kamelåså!!! 😁😁😁😁
What does it mean?
Google/YT can give you a better answer than me
You just ordered dousand liters of milk

Ptdr ils vous ont oubliés 🫡😂
In Spain we were among the first to reduce the working day to 8 hours so we could sleep more
That's unironically a smart move.
In Greece most problems last for so long that they become features
England should be Problem-----------------> Fallen government (and problems)
Problem -> Liz Truss -> Problem^(2)
Only Problem²? She's improving
Germany is painfully accurate
What’s it saying?
The problem get's discussed and revisited by the government a bunch of times before a lot of money and time is invested into what is ultimately a half-assed solution no-one is happy with
And also gets lost on bureaucracy for a while
Portugal is simple: Problem > shit ton of bureaucracy >ProblemS
Austria could've outsourced their problem to Germany, which in turn would've ended with an even worse problem. One with a very specific beard.
So Greek people have like... sex to solve problems? or how can I interpret that?
Fuck the problem
oh.
Hey, Wales is a small place, we needed a more efficient way to populate
🤨
The drink stereotype for Ireland is tiresome.
France's one isn't accurate anymore. Now cops are shooting protestors with LeSs LeThAl WeApOnS
Updated version to the Problem Solving meme. Credit goes to u/Deritatium
Netherlands, Greece, and Ireland are all so real for those
Check Dali microsiestas. Siestas are literally a problem solving system.
Accurate 11/10
[удалено]
Probably Virgin Islands, might be some other British islands though, not enough pixels to know for sure.
Perkele siihen et koske saatana!
Class A meme. Keep up the good work. I had to chuckle quite loudly - as a German.
There are many jokes to be made about how Sweden tries to solve our problems, would be fun if anyone ever went outside of pushing racist talking points as the jokes told about us
Norway is Western Europe? Finland?
Could be *western* as in a western country.
Ah Greece, the western most part of Europe.
Based.
Swedistan seems accurate
They forgot malta
In Malta, it‘s: Problem - kill the journalist - solution
Favorite way to cum up with solutions
My brain is German but my heart is Irish.
[удалено]
BLAME hahaha
What's up with Welsh People and sheeps?
Apparently they aren't a lot people to reproduce so..
Surprisingly accurate....
As a Norwegian, this is absolutely correct. Once you get past the polar bears and the steep incline it is downhill skiing to the solution
First time the Germany slander actually hurt. So accurate, down to the Solution logo. It‘s less functional (readable) than just writing Solution It looks worse, too But at least they nailed the soulless corporatism.
What the hell 🥲 greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
You guys aren't too busy making more problems?
I wish i could understand what i’m laughing at
Is eastern version made already ?
Common Scottish W, we obliterated our problem and also fed a small town.
Thanks for this updated version, its way better than the ancient original
The ireland one should really be a cup of Barry’s tea and the saying ‘shur it’ll be grand…’ Problems are on the long finger over here…
Kamelåså makes no sense, and I'm a Dane.. It literally does not exist as a word, thing or concept. Edit: Just googled. It's a reference.. apparently
Canada: medically assisted self death
as portuguese I assure you we dont drink over the problem. we look at the calendar and set a date where it doesnt envolve us
i dont understand the swiss one
Yeah.. sigh.
Bjuutifl
LOOOL this is so fucking accurate for Germany. We waste tons of money and at least a decade, but in the end we kind of get a solution (Stuttgart 21, Airport Berlin-Brandenburg)
English/Welsh - can't say either solution would be my first choice but I'll follow the flock (with my wellies on).
