#ive never been to netherlands except for the airport but i had the same experience there

[bogkeep]

hi here's another linguistic experience. dutch sounds like german but norwegian. something about the way it is spoken registers to my brain as norwegian, except i cannot understand it. it's absolutely maddening. one of the people at the workshop recently found a 24/7 music station at the radio, and every couple hours there's a short segment of talking. i thought i was losing my mind, or that my audio processing had gone even more to shit, or that the talking was some AI-generated gibberish - and then there was a word in the salad that tipped me off that this might be... a dutch channel.
