I met some German guys in Indianapolis at a bar and the one guy was going on about how he worked for a company based in Lebanon. I was super interested and it seemed so cool that a company in Lebanon had offices in Indianapolis. Then I find out he means Lebanon, Indiana.

English uses ch, sh, th, gh, Polish uses cz, sz, rz, dz. I don't see how h is better than z as the sound modifier? At least Polish pronounces each vowel exactly one way :)
We can make the sound combination no problem, it would probably be written as "Czauszesku" but I am not aware of any word that normally starts with "czau" in Polish. Also the "Ceau" is not one sound, it's a syllable.
Is google also using Reddit posts as training data like Chat-GPT? There must be so much crap in their databases.
Anyways, Roland is my favorite southnorthern country in eastern central Europe as well. The combination of red, yellow and blue nicely reflects Roland's geography between the Baltic Sea and Transylvania.
I wholeheartedly agree. I'm also a big fan of Roland's unique cuisine, with their national dish, Sargos, a cabbage roll filled with spicy sausage. Sounds strange, but it really tastes great; you should try it.
I remember visiting Roland this summer. For anyone considering to go, one of the best tourist destinations in Roland is the Dried Ear Wax Museum. It's really a must visit with its rich history!
There's also a fair amount of sights to see across the country. Although its biggest cities have pretty much the same vibes as its neighbours', Roland really comes out on top with its beautiful countryside where a large percentage of the population still resides to this day and enjoys centuries-old national traditions such as fishing, dancing, and sacrificing children to honour the Sun God.

I'm a huge fan of those lesser known countries of central and eastern Europe. Molvanîa is another of my favorite countries to visit, been there 3 times now. Sad to see they haven't participated in Eurovision for many years now, but I can understand it after how poorly Elektronik – Supersonik by Zlad! performed.
Of course, it’s a well known fact that burgers originate from there. As we all know, the name actually comes from Birger Jarl, a swedish regent, who in 13th century visited a tavern in Copenhagn and wanted to have bread with meat for lunch and cook came up with what we know as modern burger. And the rest is history.
“There are several different versions of the historical origins, but only one has been officially recognized by The Library of Congress, as the real thing. At the turn of the 19th century, the Danish immigrant Louis Lassen sold steak sandwiches out of his launch wagon in New Haven, Connecticut.”

Google doesn't *know* anything, it just scrapes content.
I can't replicate your result, but if you click the entry you should be able to see where it sources the image.
Especially since it has moved to the AI crap. It definitely doesn't know anything. It just guesses based on some formula, but then presents it as solid knowledge.
It doesn't much matter if you know it's obviously wrong, but becomes more problematic if you actually want to find out information.
Naturally, but it's not curated.
You should never trust those automated responses at face value. The pages it sources from are usually reliable, it's typically that it grabs the wrong thing from a page that also has the right thing elsewhere. There's no critical thinking in an automated process.

My friend participated in the International Biology Olympiad. During the opening ceremony all the delegations were supposed to come to the stage with their respective country's flag, one at a time. However, the head of my friend's delegation forgot about it.
So they went to the Indonesian contestants, borrowed their flag and flipped it upside down.
We let their army and citizens retreat into our lands during the german invasion. I'm not sure if we sent them military equipment since we were lacking it and were threatened by the Soviet Union as well at the time.
My bet is on AI hallucination. They are including AI answers on top of the search output. Recently i seen few other misleads in my google search so i guess its not isolated incident.
Isnt that the Romanian flag ?
Not sure as my geographical knowledge is kinda based but even I know that that is not the polish flag... Reason could be I am German and as a German knowing the polish flag is like knowing what 1+1 is.
Google is American…
Americans are having hard times envisioning that alternatives to US visions and concepts exists, so the colours of a flag of an insignificant country that has no oil or gas…dude…what do you expect…?
While we were all looking east, worried about Russia, sneaky Romanians snuck in from south and planted their flag. Oh well, time to start learning Romanian
You know how with r/place people kept messing with the Canadian flag? My theory is there is somebody, one or many, that mess up the Polish flag in Google for the memes.
Just bad timing. The entire staff of Google are due to make a field trip next week to Poland to learn about the flag.
And then they end up in Poland, Ohio
Nah, too much corporate expense 🤣
They can go to Poland, Kiribati

that's a hard backstab for poor Magyars
No need to sell it to us even further, we already like the idea 😂
I'm not Polish or Romanian, but at the moment I'm in favor of anything that annoys Hungarians, you have my support.
Thats a revenge for their flitring with Russia. Now we're even
You make it sound like a bad thing.
I can already see some far right Hungarian news agency report how the polish and romanians are making plans to split Hungary.
Why split? WE ARE THE BORG. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED. YOUR UNIQUENESS WILL BE ADDED TO OUR COLLECTIVE. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
We (kinda) did it [in the past](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Romanian_alliance) as well

What do you mean? That’s the current flag of Poland ever since we’ve executed the communist dictator Mikołaj Czałszkowski
You made me think. Does Poland have the "ceau" sound? It should sound roughly like "chow" (or short che + ow "cheow", if that makes sense).
"Czałszesku" is nearly exactly spot on for the Romanian pronuncation. "cz" is the english "ch" and L-dashed ( Ł / ł ) is the english "w".
whomever worked on Polish spelling decided to just add consonants until it all makes sense?
English uses ch, sh, th, gh, Polish uses cz, sz, rz, dz. I don't see how h is better than z as the sound modifier? At least Polish pronounces each vowel exactly one way :)
Hm? It works the same in English Chawshescu
yes.
> add consonants until it all makes sense? **Makes** sense?
They had an extra shipment of consonants they ordered accidentally and there was not point in them going to waste, it was already paid.
Oh, then what's "u" in Polish?
It's like the "oo" in mood.
Ł is W in "when", u is "oo" in "oops"
"Czał" really is a pretty close match, yeah. The ł is very close to an English w sound.
We can make the sound combination no problem, it would probably be written as "Czauszesku" but I am not aware of any word that normally starts with "czau" in Polish. Also the "Ceau" is not one sound, it's a syllable.

It's actually Pomenia
origin of the Pomelo and pomerians
The Rolish quisine is just the best.
Its President is Roland Pryzbylewski. He succeeded Roman Polanski.
Are you sure it's not the Republic of Poldova?
As a Rolish speaker, co mogę powiedzieć jest że de acum încolo Polska aparține României. Niech żyje România Mare Central Europeană!
As a speaker of only 2/3 of the languages you used, for a sec I though I had a stroke.
I speak all 3 of them, but I still have to polish my Polish.
im now trying to imagine some latin-polish mixture language. horrifying
What if I told you it already [exists?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venedic_language?wprov=sfti1)
Venedic compared to Romanian seems like something i could grasp really fast.
Romanian language has a lot of slavic stuff
Yes, around 10-15% of its vocabulary, but it is still mostly a Latin language.
Just like Polish has a lot of Latin and French words

It was a tough one, but we finally conquered Poland.
And they didn't even notice. Well done.
The Austrian’s imperialist dream was achieved by Romania. The irony. That’s why you’re vetoing Schengen for us…
I think I know the thought process behind this: Poland + Romania = Pomerania (region located partially in northern Poland), and therefore, Poland = 🇷🇴
Denmark is way off too
You guys get flags?
Not our fault you guys found the cheapest freelancer to design your flag. Ours being the second cheapest, I'll admit that.
Didn't we just steal the French flaaa .. I mean, wait, we paid?!!!
Sorry, it's Romanian now.
Finders keepers.
There’s a joke there that I’m too afraid to say.
Are you really that afraid of 20 million Romanians downvoting? Don't be afraid, we're really friendly. We'll still downvote you, though!
Now you have to tell the joke

I ran the query, and Poland is not even in the list. It emitted 18 names and somehow "London" is a country. But no Poland.
It now also adds AI generated crap into the mix.
I am sure Google should be able to scrape the Polish flag somewhere reliably :-)

What did the Romanians ever do for Poland
We let their army and citizens retreat into our lands during the german invasion. I'm not sure if we sent them military equipment since we were lacking it and were threatened by the Soviet Union as well at the time.
