Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence

A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.

Here we toast:
πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
πŸ§€ The freest of health care
🍷 The finest of foods
πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ The liberalest of liberties
🌍 The proud non-members and honorary cousins πŸ’Ά And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.

Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream β€œonly in YUROP.”

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

The PC was invented by Americans and most of its important technologies are owned by American companies. Shockingly bad idea to let ourselves get so dependent on a single country, especially considering that Taiwan, which is by far the most important chip manufacturer, is threatened by another authoritarian regime. Maybe you could build something equivalent to an x86-PC with ARM, but not without those hyper-sophisticated chip factories (though TBF, the USA would also be fucked if China conquered Taiwan and blocked those chips from getting into the US).
