That is not true, there should also be green colour as I can see this space would easily fit 3-4 żabkas

Poznań 1994... or was it 2024? Sometimes I'm not sure.

You can tell by Biedronka.

You forgot the neon green of Żabka

My turn to post this for the 1647821648712th time tomorrow

Not to mention that it's Omsk, literally in the middle of Siberia

u/Fun-Raisin2575 1d ago

I find this houses, but I can't find place

Do you know the address?

u/Fuzzy_Quiet2009 4h ago

I used to live in Omsk but I can’t id the place. There are literally dozens of neighborhoods that look like this.

1

u/Rip_Nomad Mazowieckie 1d ago

Then I shall post this for thr 1647821648713th next day following to keep the chain going!

Tno ruined my mind, now I can't stop tweaking every time I hear Omsk.

u/mynameisatari 1d ago

Sure, care to share last time this was posted in r/poland then?

26

u/Rift3N 1d ago

Can't be bothered to meticulously scroll through the archives but I've seen this pic reposted at least 10 times in the past year or so

Several times a user in the comments even found the exact spot on google street view btw

-11

u/mynameisatari 1d ago

Not to worry, I did it for you and haven't found it posted in r/poland at all! You must have seen it in some other communities.

u/cronktilten 1d ago

I’ve seen it so many times and always to describe anywhere in Eastern Europe. At least put in work to make a new image

I dunno, man, I dunno...

u/tentegesszmeges 1d ago

ho le fuk. They did it. They open żabka in PKiN. XD

u/Competitive_Juice902 1d ago

Inevitable. PKiN is PŻiP

u/Impressive-Key4264 1d ago

I dare you to travel atleast ~20 km from that place and you are gonna see that palette or you might as well head to ursynow or praga

u/Competitive_Juice902 1d ago

Been there, it's not bad.

u/Kord_K 1d ago

its so funny to me that polish people think its only grey and miserable in poland or eastern europe during winter and nowhere else

have you seen the uk? belgium? netherlands? germany?

17

u/strandroad 1d ago

UK and Ireland retain a lot of foliage in winter, deciduous trees might be bare but hedges tend to be evergreen and most of the grass survives too.

14

u/Kord_K 1d ago

in my experience, it doesn't really make too much of a difference, especially if you live in a city as most uk city centres are pure concrete

3

u/strandroad 1d ago

City centres tend to be that way everywhere but even OP photo would look quite different with green lawns and hedges, not to mention suburban houses with gardens.

u/JarasM Łódzkie 1d ago

Shit's covered in snow though.

u/Jiseido 1d ago

Agreed! Belgium today looked straight out of Silent Hill 2 video game.

5

u/the_weaver_of_dreams 1d ago

Tbh it's always like this... Poles experience something negative in Poland and blame it on Poland, whereas in reality it's just like that - and sometimes worse - in other countries.

6

u/Fun-Raisin2575 1d ago

I have 1200 hours of sunshine, Scotland have ~1500 - 1800, Ireland 1600-1800 hours. There have been only 3-4 sunny days in the last month, and the day lasts about 5.5 hours, the rest is night and darkness.

~9 a.m.

u/obihighwanground 21h ago

i have seen only maybe 3 sunny days last month and days last maybe 6 hours. i go to sleep at night and wake up at night.

u/ScrewedDudd 11h ago

Canadian here- pretty grey and miserable around us too

1

u/BunnyRabbit767 9h ago

Most of the "Poland bad" crowd never left their village let alone the country.

1

u/lysy9987 8h ago

I live in the Netherlands, and i like weather here more because it’s warmer, but i haven’t seen sun for last two months.

1

u/opolsce 1d ago

Where I grew up in Germany there were significantly more winter days with blue skies. Like night and day. And that's easily explainable. The more continental the climate, the more overcast the winters.

u/Low_Shallot_3218 17h ago

USA? Canada?

-8

u/ComfortableBright570 1d ago

I’ve been to all of those mentioned countries (I even currently live in NL) and none of them even remotely compare to the depressing dull grey ness of Poland.

16

u/Kord_K 1d ago

you might just have a bias against poland then, because i currently live in the uk and i'm also frequently in poland in the winter and its definitely worse here

a beautiful photo of greater manchester, uk i took this year in february

u/ihatejailbreak 1d ago

I don't know about that, it looks like a Doja Cat video set almost every single day down here in Małopolska

1

u/No_Wolf8098 15h ago

I've been to Denmark, Germany, Netherlands and UK in the past 6 months and I can't agree with you at all. A lot of buildings is just plain brick which is extremely dull, your blocks of flats look sad and dystopian.

u/ElectricByCraft 1d ago

Fake !! Should be green on each building corner for 🐸

I miss the snow 😢

u/marco_van49 1d ago

Święta bez śniegu to już tradycja

u/blinman94 1d ago

Co roku jest śnieg na święta przecież. No chyba, że mówimy o Bożym Narodzeniu, to wtedy nie.

2

u/marco_van49 1d ago

W sumie masz rację. Ale jak zobaczyłem w poniedziałek śnieg za oknem to myślałem że tym razem będzie inaczej

2

u/Impressive-Key4264 1d ago

I dont miss wyobrazcie sobie tylko ile relatywnie mniej istnien ludzkich nie poginelo na polskich drogach przez fatalne warunki pogodowe albo ile mniej bezdomnych zamarzlo

1

u/Atulin Dolnośląskie 1d ago

Katastrofa klimatyczna, niedobór tlenu w oceanach, załamanie prądów morskich, ale przynajmniej żulom cieplutko

u/BunchInitial5260 1d ago

Depends where you are... this is Tatrzański Park on the 25th of December

u/Aprilprinces 1d ago

What do you think England looks like in winter?

11

u/MinecraftWarden06 1d ago

TBH I hate such posts. Firstly, the photo doesn't seem to be from Poland. Secondly, we are Central Europe. And people are acting as if Poland was the only place where it gets dark and gray in winter. Check out Sweden, Finland or so.

-5

u/Jesuismieux412 1d ago

The Poles are Eastern Europeans living in a Central European country.

u/MinecraftWarden06 12h ago

Wdym? We are Roman Catholics, we've never used the Cyrillic alphabet and we've always been part of the Latin civilization.

u/tei187 1d ago

Brush, where did they get the snow from?

u/TheRealPTR 1d ago

There is no more winter im Poland... Climate change tranformed it into five-months-long November!

u/Fun-Raisin2575 1d ago

It's not Poland, it's Omsk, Russia. I find this houses(near was taken the photo). It's typical Soviet houses project

It's not this place, but it's near

u/Fun-Raisin2575 7h ago

you have not been to Norilsk, Chelyabinsk, Chita and other cities with environmental disasters. In Russia, dozens of cities are on the verge of environmental disasters or have already survived them. The legacy of the Soviet Union is terrible in terms of ecology.

u/Fun-Raisin2575 7h ago

I understand that this is mainly due to the extraction and processing of coal?

We were in Poland last year and it was beautiful. Lots of snow, nice christmas markets. It was a great experience

Is this photo from the 90's or 2000's? Be serious and honest.

Welcome to every post USSR country in winter

u/opolsce 1d ago

Daily reminder that Poland was never part of the Soviet Union.

u/sh1kora 1d ago

Ok. Eastern Bloc

u/dziki_z_lasu Łódzkie 1d ago

This photo was taken somewhere in Russia. Free parking spots in front of such a block of flats LOL
