These weeks have had some amazing sunsets

It used to be on Max Euweplein and then moved to Museumplein due to nucences on Max… but now it’s also gone from Museumplein! Where is it now?

Op de stoep aan de Kinkerstraat staan sinds kort deze graffiti advertenties. Ik kan me moeilijk voorstellen dat de gemeente hier toestemming voor geeft? En omdat we toch al doodgegooid worden met reclames lijkt het me onwenselijk dat (grote) bedrijven ook nog dit soort vandalisme gaat toepassen om hun rotzooi te slijten. Waar zou ik dit kunnen rapporteren?

I don’t even know where to begin. I spent two weeks in Pyongyang, and let me tell you: Amsterdam could NEVER.

Let’s start with the streets. In Pyongyang? Immaculate. You could eat off the pavement. Not a single drunk Brit peeing in a canal. Not a single crusty junkie harassing you for change. Just wide boulevards, synchronized traffic, and not a single fucking bicycle in sight. Meanwhile in Amsterdam, if you don’t get mowed down by a fixie-riding finance bro, you’ll be dodging scooters ridden by teenagers live-streaming on TikTok.

Safety? I could leave my bag on a park bench in Pyongyang and come back a week later—still there. Amsterdam? I left my bike for ten minutes and came back to find just the sad remains of a broken lock. Say what you want, but you don’t need ten surveillance cameras per street corner when the entire population’s on the same page.

Don’t even get me started on the people. Polite, well-dressed, not constantly baked out of their minds. No one screaming in English …

Hi all! Posting this here in r/Amsterdam because we’re based in the city and offer something quite unique — free personal delivery anywhere in Amsterdam, with no minimum order.
We’re a tiny team (just me and my partner) doing everything ourselves — from harvesting to packing and delivering — and this personal delivery service is only possible because we live and operate here locally. That’s why I thought this group might be the right place to share our story.

I’m Manos, originally from Crete and now living in Amsterdam. Two years ago, my partner and I started Filía Crete, a small food business bringing authentic Greek products directly from our own farms in Crete to the Netherlands. Everything we offer comes straight from the source — no middlemen, no blending, no mass production. Just the products we and our families have been making and using for generations.

We grow, harvest, and bottle everything ourselves, and since we handle every step — including distribution — we can keep …

Stumbled upon this wild 1960s American vision for Amsterdam in the year 2000 — skyscrapers everywhere, highways slicing through the city center, canals erased under concrete. I asked AI to turn it into a realistic photo… and wow, it’s dystopian as hell.

It’s a reminder that American urban planning ideas for Europe were often completely out of touch with the actual character and needs of our cities. Thank god we never followed them.

Preserving human-scale cities > paving over everything.

Just one random item from the supermarket as example: this Coolbest juices are so expensive right now

I just drove past this flag. Is this something we can report and if so, where?

The supermarket group turns healthy and sustainable food into a luxury product, only available to rich people and unaffordable to the poor. And no, it is NOT that biological food production costs 40% more, and no, the margin on organic products is NOT being used to improve climate policy. Ahold Delhaize’s CO2 emissions have increased by 7% since 2018.

Personally, I am willing to pay more for better quality, non-toxic food, but just paying for the sake of making a company reach just because they want to create an artificial difference in the price is criminal!

Curious to hear your thoughts?
