#[0] big enough that it can host #[1] multiple mastodon servers but small enough that the government isn’t trying to ban vpn.

#[0] Always thought it was a little crazy that this country is the number two agricultural exporter, worldwide. That seems a little overkill for the very much not number two in world population.
#[0] If we check the landsize indeed.. it's nuts! Even with all compact stuff together its insane

#[0] Netherlands total area 41,543 km² Did I math right? Is that really 2.4 chickens per square meter? Where does the chicken feed come from? how tall are those chicken houses?

#[0] we could give so much people a decent house, for the area that all those animals take 😱
#[0] I remember talking about this with some Mongols a few years ago. The idea that you absolutely can't go to a place where the horizon is clear of human buildings kinda blew their mind. That every square meter is planned into something or other, actively managed by someone and we actually count all the animals. They pitied me. :akkoCry:

#[0] and these numbers even don’t show the ‘dynamic’. We should also take into account that in the Netherlands 1.8 million animals are slaughtered every day.
