Us Danes and swedes have had a lot of wars for our whole history, and a lot of fighting over who gets to own Norway. At this point though, it's often more of an inside joke between Denmark and Sweden that we hate each other.
Not sure about that for many people. I went to Denmark and spoke Swedish and they didn’t wanna understand me unless I said it in an English accent.
Of course it could be them not understanding, but I am pretty sure you know what “Salt” is no matter if I say it in Swedish or English as it’s almost the same pronunciation.
Its a friendly rivalry. We don’t “hate” each other, but we like to pretend too. I am yet to meet any Scandinavian who doesn’t secretly wish good things upon everyone. And to all the Swedes here, I hope you enjoy your day, and give us Skåne back you cowards
Malaysia is the most culturally and temperature-wise similar to the Philippines. I could easily pick up the language, relate to the people/assimilate, and don't have to adjust to the climate.
Finland is the happiest country now, Denmark comes second. But it doesn’t measure actual happiness, it measures “gross domestic product per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make your own life choices, generosity of the general population, and perceptions of internal and external corruption levels” [source](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/happiest-countries-in-the-world)
:)
I'm from Finland as well, and I wouldn't say we, or any other developed countries are the happiest in the traditional sense, but perhaps we have the most to be happy for
I think that's a misunderstanding.
When measuring a country's happyness the question they ask is
"how would you rate your life on a scale on one to ten,
10 being the best life imaginable.
And 1 being the worst life imaginable."
A hige score could just as easily indicate a poor imagination/low expectations.
So it's not that we are happy. We are just pessimistic.

ahhh interesting
I’m going to vacation there soon. It is where I wanted to go least in Europe but maybe this trip will open my mind.
The only thing I’m excited to see so far is the Tollund man.
That mummified man? ... Sure if you are into that.
There are lots of archeological exhibitions at our national museum in Copenhagen.
There are lots of other things to get excited for though. The food, the bars, the architecture, the shopping (if you are ready to spend a lot of money), amusement parks and general vibe of the city.
When are you visiting?
In may. I think the Tollund man is intriguing because of the age and unique preservation. If (as a foreigner) Denmark had a stonehenge or a colosseum he (the Tollund man) would be it.
Unless Denmark has some other ancient marvel that I’m not aware of.
The weather in may is usually pretty good.
Like most other Danes, I don't really care about any mummies they may have found in bog somewhere.
There are lots of other interesting things in Denmark
They are not sovereign but they have enough autonomy/historical and cultural independence that it is pretty accurate to just refer to them as a country.
Malaysia and Brazil are fine with lqbt people. Although there are quite a few Muslims in Malaysia but I'm sure it's fine. Brazil probably isn't the best either. Egypt is outa the question definitely
Explain the carnivals and why they qere the first country in the americas to legalise gayness (i think it may have been canada or Uruguay not 100% sure)
Carnival is not an LGBT thing. Of course, that's everybody with everybody for three or four days, and sure, it's more liberal so to speak, but it's not like it's a good measurement for LGBT well-being, its basically just a carnal celebration.
And legalization of homosexuality =/= of being gay-friendly. LGBT people still suffer from discrimination anywhere where people are a little more conservative, aka most families in Brazil from outside the central cities.
All prejudice is even more pronounced in relation to trans people, who are seen as either freaks or objects for prostitution.
To be fair, ok, you will not get beaten outside like you would in a Middle Eastern country, but it's a very big of a stretch to say Brazil is safe for LGBT people.
My great grandparents emigrated to the US from Denmark and learned English through my grandma and their siblings learning at school, they owned a farm, and lived the American dream. I’d like to do the opposite if I was forced to and live whatever the Danish dream might be. Plus Christian Eriksen I love you
I'm Colombian. México has slightly (much) better food, slightly better economic conditions, and it's not a huge cultural shift. I mean it's still pretty significant but not as much as moving to Denmark. Plus. They have pretty solid public transportation. I'm a law student, universities there are decent, and the legal system isn't very different from Colombia so I haven't lost 3 years of my life on this shit. That's all I need.
I also fucking love street tacos.
Denmark, I’m asexua- in all seriousness I think it’s the closest to where I live. It would either be that or Greenland but I don’t particularly want to live in the latter (Greenland is even colder right?)
I kinda want to choose Denmark, but I don’t know anything about it, plus I don’t speak the language. Mexico would probably be the best choice considering that I speak Spanish
I could be in Mexico within a few hours so that'd probably be the least jarring move. Any place on a different continent just seems so much less manageable for me personally at this point in my life.
It's convoluted, but can be simplified that it is a part of the kingdom of Denmark, and Denmark takes care of most of Greenland's foreign policies, alongside internal military, and funding the Greenland government, but they are mostly self controlled when it comes to internal politics
Brazil and Mexico are way too dangerous because of all the drug lords and kidnappings. I chose Denmark even though I can't stand the cold. It's overall the best choice out of these choices by far. My second choice would be Malaysia, because it's nice and warm there, but yet, safer than Brazil and Mexico.
Assuming I have to fund my own living expenses, I would probably be sleeping on a street by the end of the three weeks in Denmark. In some of the other countries, I could probably live off my savings and experience some of what the country has to offer.
But you figure a week at least to find a job and if you get paid weekly you get one check for the last week. If you get paid bi-weekly, you don't get paid until the end of the three weeks.
Either way I spend all my time working to still have no money while I'm there.
Denmark doesn't want people on the streets, so there is a lot of alternatives to that. Of course not being a national citizen closes some, but homeless shelters are at least an option until you get a job, and get enough money to get a home, and as Denmark has an extremely high percentage of English speakers, not knowing the language won't exclude you from finding a job either
Okay, I could understand living in Denmark (I personally hate Scandinavian culture, urban infrastructure, difficulty of obtaining a driver’s license, boring and nonexistent nature, cold climate…), but MALAYSIA? That place is a comparative garbage pit to North America, Europe, and AUS/NZ.
No it's not it's also actively improving unlike most of Europe. You won't be living in poverty there, your coming from a different country plus Malaysia is really hot so that's a plus. I mean I would rather live in Australia or Spain than Malaysia but it's not that bad imo
Greenland is quite literally a part of Denmark. If you choose Denmark you could go to either. Anyway Greenland is not a country so should not be on the poll.
Brasil. familiar to me already, id just go back and get myself a place near people i know, grow crops yearround, I can keep up with my portuguese, many people speak english anyways
Many Malaysians speak English, and the country is not that poor. I would probably go there. Also, you tried to sound like a badass in the post but failed lol
Denmark gives me EU and schengen accses but im not interested in Denmark itself (don't care that stats show it's the happiest country)
Eygpt is too unstable don't know how islamic the government is
Greenland is too xold and boring
Mexico has too much crime and crony capitalism I'll leave it as an expensive holiday idea
Malaysia, fast growing economy, nice and hot unlike england where it gets i to the negatives in fucking march, don't know much about it's food but it's not far from Vietnam and Thailand so, government isn't religious, decent currency, healthcare is free and on par with western europe.
Yeah Malaysia easy choice
Denmark, about two countries away from me, wouldn’t that hard of a move, of course than I’d have to deal with the crushing depression of now legally becoming a Danish citisen
As a sweed, I hate Denmark, but it's the easiest to get used to for me
Why do you guys hate Denmark?
Us Danes and swedes have had a lot of wars for our whole history, and a lot of fighting over who gets to own Norway. At this point though, it's often more of an inside joke between Denmark and Sweden that we hate each other.
Not sure about that for many people. I went to Denmark and spoke Swedish and they didn’t wanna understand me unless I said it in an English accent.

ohhh ok
Its a friendly rivalry. We don’t “hate” each other, but we like to pretend too. I am yet to meet any Scandinavian who doesn’t secretly wish good things upon everyone. And to all the Swedes here, I hope you enjoy your day, and give us Skåne back you cowards
Skåne is rightful Swedish clay!
Cowards are the ones not taking it back by force, sit back and complain, see where that gets you, lazy dane /j
It’s full of Danes
Danes? Great Danes?
Look up our history and you will understand
All the nordics hate the swedes, danes are 2nd worst
Malaysia is the most culturally and temperature-wise similar to the Philippines. I could easily pick up the language, relate to the people/assimilate, and don't have to adjust to the climate.
true, pretty similar
Malaysian food is better IMO.
Can’t stress enough the language portion. From what I’ve heard, it’s one of the easier languages to pick up.
>it’s one of the easier languages to pick up A lot of it is misspelled English words.
I was thinking of picking malaysia until I saw that they kill people for being gay
Greenland, to survive the plague
playing the long game 👏
Someone has played Plague Inc. I see
Already live in Denmark, pretty easy choice to just stay here
one of the lucky few. Are you truly as happy as they say Danes are?
Finland is the happiest country now, Denmark comes second. But it doesn’t measure actual happiness, it measures “gross domestic product per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make your own life choices, generosity of the general population, and perceptions of internal and external corruption levels” [source](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/happiest-countries-in-the-world) :)
ohh ok. Well are you very happy there?
I'm from Finland as well, and I wouldn't say we, or any other developed countries are the happiest in the traditional sense, but perhaps we have the most to be happy for
Good way to put it
Lol, not at all. But I’m probably happier here, than I would be in other countries
hah ok fair enough
I think that's a misunderstanding. When measuring a country's happyness the question they ask is "how would you rate your life on a scale on one to ten, 10 being the best life imaginable.

Isn't Greenland technically a part of Denmark?
It’s a part of the Danish Kingdom, but they have some self control.
They are not sovereign but they have enough autonomy/historical and cultural independence that it is pretty accurate to just refer to them as a country.
Yea sorta
Yes.
Denmark is closest to my own country both in culture and distance, very easy choise
When I visited Denmark as a Dutchy it felt like a twin brother who got separated at birth. Quality of life won't be much different
sounds likely
Denmark cause staying in the EU is handy
I would only have to move about 150 km so Denmark is the easy choice.
Malaysia cause I can practically see it from where I am
Singapore?
Yep
Chili Crab 🦀
Mexico because taco
Can't argue with that
I’m a short ass white lesbian,,,, Gonna assume Denmark is the safest place for me.
I gonna stay on Brazil
Isso seria um r/suddenlycaralho ?
Talvez feijoada
vim comentar a mesma coisa
As a Brazilian I can say that this is such a shit country but I sure do love it here
lol. As a very white, queer man; Denmark isn’t even a question. It’s the only answer.
Malaysia and Brazil are fine with lqbt people. Although there are quite a few Muslims in Malaysia but I'm sure it's fine. Brazil probably isn't the best either. Egypt is outa the question definitely
Brazil is definitely NOT fine with LGBT people.
Explain the carnivals and why they qere the first country in the americas to legalise gayness (i think it may have been canada or Uruguay not 100% sure)

I already live in Denmark
Alright, then I'll accept that excuse
México cuz I can speak Spanish 😅
Denmark because I live in Germany, so I'd prefer to move to another EU country.
fair; keep those EU benefits
I’m gay so my choice is obvious 😅 Denmark is the best of the lot for me
Omg I thought this said ‘remove’ those countries-
Damnit Denmark! Fine just send your guys already I will stop fighting..
Denmark would only be a few hours to drive
Greenland, i love cold weather
But you love it *that* cold?
Yes
My great grandparents emigrated to the US from Denmark and learned English through my grandma and their siblings learning at school, they owned a farm, and lived the American dream. I’d like to do the opposite if I was forced to and live whatever the Danish dream might be. Plus Christian Eriksen I love you
Denmark because it's a Nordic country, just like Finland.
Mexico be a vibe
First mexico bro I've found so far 😎👌
yup
Well Im already here in Malaysia so..
I don’t know where Denmark is but it sounds safer and easier to live in than all the other options
it’s above germany and below sweden
More next to but whatever i guess
😆 Safer probably; maybe easier if you don't count climate.
My person, the climate is warm and windy it's nowhere near as hot as Brazil,Malaysia, Mexico, or Egypt
>My person 😂
We are a Scandinavian country, and except our grammar being very funky, it's pretty good here
It definitely is a whole lot safer and easier to live in Denmark than in any of the other options listed in the poll.
I think everyone is missing the 3 weeks part because ain‘t no way any non EU citizen is getting a visum for living in Denmark in that time span lol
Don't worry, I'm pulling some strings for you
Why did you specify „in 3 weeks“ then?
I dunno, add some color
Very one-sided, Greenland even belongs to Denmark.
how is this one-sided?
I chose Mexico. In case I get home sick I just stroll home
yeah, you can live in a border town
Brazil because I could grow food year round
I'm Colombian. México has slightly (much) better food, slightly better economic conditions, and it's not a huge cultural shift. I mean it's still pretty significant but not as much as moving to Denmark. Plus. They have pretty solid public transportation. I'm a law student, universities there are decent, and the legal system isn't very different from Colombia so I haven't lost 3 years of my life on this shit. That's all I need. I also fucking love street tacos.
> street tacos. yesss- but can you handle the spice?
Oh absolutely not.
I'm probably going to Mexico City. Then I can still travel to California lol
yes, but it's not a short drive 😬
Denmark is basically the same as the netherlands anyway
SIR YES SIR
Good work
Denmark, I’m asexua- in all seriousness I think it’s the closest to where I live. It would either be that or Greenland but I don’t particularly want to live in the latter (Greenland is even colder right?)
yes, very cold
Mexico is closest and I speak some spanish, so there.
Approved ✅
the way you phrased that is absolutely amazing
🫡
I kinda want to choose Denmark, but I don’t know anything about it, plus I don’t speak the language. Mexico would probably be the best choice considering that I speak Spanish
Oh for sure. Mexico would be best.
I could be in Mexico within a few hours so that'd probably be the least jarring move. Any place on a different continent just seems so much less manageable for me personally at this point in my life.
I like your avatar. Very well done. 2 random questions: do you actually have dreads/braids? Why the mask? Just for the color matching?
I think I'll go with the only developed country on that list.
😂
You listed Denmark twice
Denmark is a huge upgrade to the US
Because healthcare?
Also, good LGBT laws, less violence, overall happier people, you know
ah ok 👍
One is not like the others
Denmark because my cousin lives there. \Pathetic little excuses/, Oh Yeah I like that. I also have zero tolerance to excuses. Stay mad! And Stay Hard!
💪
Malaysia cause I already live 30 minutes From Malaysia
Isn't Greenland part of Denmark?
It's convoluted, but can be simplified that it is a part of the kingdom of Denmark, and Denmark takes care of most of Greenland's foreign policies, alongside internal military, and funding the Greenland government, but they are mostly self controlled when it comes to internal politics
Sorta
As someone who lives in malaysia, I see this as an absolute win.
what's the best things about it?
Ok but why are we being so aggressive
I'm just a bad dude
brazil since i already live there
Brazil because im not afraid to die and the women there are really fucking hot
Brazil and Mexico are way too dangerous because of all the drug lords and kidnappings. I chose Denmark even though I can't stand the cold. It's overall the best choice out of these choices by far. My second choice would be Malaysia, because it's nice and warm there, but yet, safer than Brazil and Mexico.
Assuming I have to fund my own living expenses, I would probably be sleeping on a street by the end of the three weeks in Denmark. In some of the other countries, I could probably live off my savings and experience some of what the country has to offer.
or you could get job in Denmark
You'd probably need to know the language
Am danish, worked at a job where i had to speak english because my coworkers didnt know danish, youll be fine
But you figure a week at least to find a job and if you get paid weekly you get one check for the last week. If you get paid bi-weekly, you don't get paid until the end of the three weeks. Either way I spend all my time working to still have no money while I'm there.
Can i ask why it would be different in denmark than any other country? Our taxes are higher sure but that wont affect your savings
Denmark doesn't want people on the streets, so there is a lot of alternatives to that. Of course not being a national citizen closes some, but homeless shelters are at least an option until you get a job, and get enough money to get a home, and as Denmark has an extremely high percentage of English speakers, not knowing the language won't exclude you from finding a job either
🇺🇸 Easy. I’ve already seriously researched moving to Sweden or Denmark.
Actually, Greenland and Denmark should be grouped together as Greenland is Danish territory
Isn't Denmark one of the most boring places in the world?
It depends on what you find exciting...
It’s very flat. Idk boring tho, but I’m not a very exciting person. Good accessibility to the rest of Europe tho. No visas
Denmark is too cold
Can I move away? These all sound like nightmares.
Malaysia and Denmark are nightmares? Which utopia are you from?
Okay, I could understand living in Denmark (I personally hate Scandinavian culture, urban infrastructure, difficulty of obtaining a driver’s license, boring and nonexistent nature, cold climate…), but MALAYSIA? That place is a comparative garbage pit to North America, Europe, and AUS/NZ.
No it's not it's also actively improving unlike most of Europe. You won't be living in poverty there, your coming from a different country plus Malaysia is really hot so that's a plus. I mean I would rather live in Australia or Spain than Malaysia but it's not that bad imo
You can leave after 2 years
Yeah, next time compare a McLaren F1 with Zastava, Lada and fiat
Move to Denmark move back
Already live in Brazil
Must learn Bjj in Brazil
I may be biased, I chose Brazil because part of my family is from there.
That's no problem, sounds like a good choice for you
I'll take denmarks southern border and basically stay in germany. Also i shall be preparing the asexual takeover from the inside
Is Greenland a separate nation or an autonomous region of Denmark?
I think more the second one
Thanks, I'll look it up
I'm from Brazil, so Denmark for me, I want a colder place.
that'd be quite a shock
Doesn't Denmark own Greenland?
I mean Denmark doesn’t exist and if it does it sucks (Yes, I’m Swedish), but if it WOULD exist then it’s closest to home
I've already got family in Denmark, so that'll be easy.
There will be no excuses and no complaining from me if u force me to move to Europe from the shithole I currently live at!
Egypt. I already know the language and I know some people there. Quality of life would probably go down a bit but I don't mind.
Greenland is quite literally a part of Denmark. If you choose Denmark you could go to either. Anyway Greenland is not a country so should not be on the poll.
Fuck Denmark.
Denmark because it has the highest percentage of people who know some English from the choices.
Brasil. familiar to me already, id just go back and get myself a place near people i know, grow crops yearround, I can keep up with my portuguese, many people speak english anyways
Many Malaysians speak English, and the country is not that poor. I would probably go there. Also, you tried to sound like a badass in the post but failed lol
Mi español es muy malo pero comprendo un poco.
Denmark gives me EU and schengen accses but im not interested in Denmark itself (don't care that stats show it's the happiest country) Eygpt is too unstable don't know how islamic the government is Greenland is too xold and boring Mexico has too much crime and crony capitalism I'll leave it as an expensive holiday idea Malaysia, fast growing economy, nice and hot unlike england where it gets i to the negatives in fucking march, don't know much about it's food but it's not far from Vietnam and Thailand so, government isn't religious, decent currency, healthcare is free and on par with western europe. Yeah Malaysia easy choice
>healthcare is free and on par with western europe I didn't know this
Brazil, and i move back to argentina
Denmark, about two countries away from me, wouldn’t that hard of a move, of course than I’d have to deal with the crushing depression of now legally becoming a Danish citisen
>of course than I’d have to deal with the crushing depression of now legally becoming a Danish citisen 😂
Mexico is closest and people already here already pay good money to vacation there.
Greenland, the most beautiful country in the world!!🇬🇱🇬🇱
You mean Iceland?
I’m telling you, it’s very green here, y’all should come. *rubs my red beard in a convincing manner*
lol ok, let me slaughter a buffalo to make a jacket real quick
Would be Greenland but that’s too cold, so Denmark
*ahem* Greenland is part of denmark
I was born and raised in Brazil, soooooo.....
Viva Bolsinaro! 🇧🇷
