Humor helps us learn far more about the world than if we were super serious all the time. Grab some facts and social insights, throw in a bunch of comedy, add a good dash of current events, mold everything into the shape of a meme, and you have something truly special.

That’s where the r/2westerneurope4u online community comes in. It’s a popular subreddit that encourages people to post memes about life in Western Europe. They encourage users to make and share ironic memes about the countries in the region, and they are absolutely hilarious. You’re bound to enjoy them whether you’re living in Europe or just went to visit the Old World on holiday. We’ve collected some of their funniest memes to share with you, Pandas, so scroll down to check them out.

We got in touch with the friendly team running r/2westerneurope4u. The head moderator, u/rex-ac, explained to Bored Panda that the subreddit is a "European oasis," shed some light on the community's "rough past," and how the members still have regular discussions about what countries should be added to the list of Western European ones. Read on for our interview with u/rex-ac.

    I wouldn't normally pick holes in a post, but surely that should be 1892? Haha I can see since the original post has now been amended from 1982 to 1922. Thanks to the guys that responded with the correct information.

    as a Dutch person, i understand it sounds less nice to some people with the choking G. I also think Finnish sounds FANTASTIC 😍 though i dont understand most of it. Danish on the other hand... i love Denmark but Danish... Also i have been asked "are you from Denmark??" bij Swedes who heard me speak Swedish and by Swedes who heard me speak Dutch 😂😂😂 I was also once asked "are you from Bayern??" by a Swiss guy while talking German to him. he was dead serious.

    Fun (?) fact: Germany made its last World War One reparations debt payment on October 3, 2010—the 20th anniversary of German reunification. NB: that's WWI (1914-1918) Treaty of Versailles.

    Also if you look at this with per capita in mind, it's the Netherlands and Denmark who give the most, not Germany, and per capita, Poland is not even in the top five beneficiaries, it goes like this: Luxembourg, Lithuania, Hungary, Latvia, Estonia), so, I think it is a more fair view - there is simply a lot of Germans and a lot of Polish, these are big countries with a lot of people, and looking at per capita would be fairer.
