Having your country's flag on your property
Oh wild guess... USA?
Denmark too. You’re not a success in Denmark until you have a flagpole, two kids (no more, no less), an electric car, a robot mower, a robot hoover and a sunken trampoline.
Is sinking a tampoline a Danish nautical tradition?
I get that falling is less dangerous if it’s sunken, but holy hell I don’t want to imagine what animals would live underneath it
Uhhh, wat
No only bikes
I think you mean Danish
Thanks
I moved to Denmark recently. The Danish love to fly their flag. Half of the houses have a flagpole. It's weird for me because no one in Poland does this.
It’s a long story of course, but goes back to a wave of nationalism that arose after the 1864 wars against Prussia. The Danes often said “what is lost externally must be gained internally” and it lead to a break with Pan-Scandinavism so Danes really had nothing but flags and flagpoles left. And boy did they use them.
They also tried breeding a pig with the Dannish flag on it. Also its the oldest continuously used falg, coloration and minor size differences not withstanding.
I've seen this more in Norway than in the US, people love their flags here
Popular in finland too
Only on flag days though.
Pennants are a very common thing on summer cabins
