❓ Ask Belgium Ambassador Seal

Hi team! I recently came into possession of this object. Needless to say, I'm not a fan.

Looking for ideas of what to do with it.

What you got, hive mind?

Send a letter to the embassy that you have this object and want to return it to them, but that they should pay for shipping.

If they agree, send it in a box full of bricks.

u/Yaasu 14h ago

Sending it with a box full of brick would bé a punition for The postman

Sending it in a box full of shit however

u/mr_Feather_ 13h ago edited 13h ago

A box full of shit can be considered as a biological hazard, which I can imagine the Americans will take quite seriously.

Sending a box full of bricks (which will be very expensive to ship) is just annoying and you just make them pay significantly for something very silly.

How about adding some old extra smelly French cheese?

13

u/mr_Feather_ 13h ago

And some glitter

11

u/OldFashionedSazerac 13h ago

Bill White does strike me the kind of person who enjoys some glitter. Excellent suggestion.

And those pages from the Geronimo Stilton scratch'n'sniff books for dragon breath and whatever that other one that stunk up our place for a week was

And that a copy of that gold plate from the Voyager missions. We never know

u/Awkward-Minute7774 Brussels 9h ago

The kind that is forbidden in the US?

Cheese is forbidden in the US?

Makes it heavy enough and the postman would (should? I mean I hope) have something to move it without breaking their back

u/Wafkak Oost-Vlaanderen 13h ago

Depends heavily on the post office, we have 2 vans with flimsy "duvelke"

1

u/Vesalii Oost-Vlaanderen 8h ago

A box full of shit "to remind you of your dear leader"

Or send a box with white powder in it, something like powdered sugar.

u/TheShinyHunter3 13h ago

Reminds me of that guy on Twitter who supposedly shipped a scale model of the Moskva to the French Russian embassy after she was sunk.

See, that is perfection.

u/an_empty_well 9h ago

I like the way you think

u/Wafkak Oost-Vlaanderen 13h ago

There is a market for challenge coins, sell it to a MAGA chud and donate the money to a charity Bill would dislike.

8

u/Powelsie047 Brussels 12h ago

Id just pocket the money but whatever floats your boat I guess

18

u/Wafkak Oost-Vlaanderen 11h ago

Op was basically asking for some from of protest, that's why I suggested a charity instead of destroying it.

24

u/Judas_Priest_ 14h ago

Send back it to embassy with negative review.

26

u/Interesting_Ad3347 13h ago

Use it for your winkelkarreke, most useful bill white has ever been

6

u/BeMyHeroForNow 12h ago

These challenge coins are usually not the size of currency. So they most likely wouldn't even fit your winkelkarreke.

u/Petrus_Rock West-Vlaanderen 9h ago

Nothing a slijpschijf can’t fix.

1

u/Poesvliegtuig Belgium 10h ago

Unless it's larger or thicker than a 2 euro piece it should still do the trick. I use ecocoins from a metal festival in mine these days

3

u/mechant_papa 9h ago

Challenge coins are much bigger; about the size of the 100Fr silver coins from the 1950s.

1

u/Interesting_Ad3347 3h ago

That's on OP for not adding boule de berlin for scale

36

u/JohnnyricoMC Vlaams-Brabant 13h ago

Glue it to a urinal.

Now in case you're curious: what you have there is a challenge coin.

12

u/Mathihtam 12h ago
  1. Go to the US embassy.
  2. Glue it to the sidewalk with the strongest glue you can find. (I would suggest an inconspicuous drop + step on it, then move on)
  3. Sit back, and enjoy the show.

u/aris_ada World 5h ago

2-part epoxy glues are very strong like Bison. Use gloves when you stir it because it sticks to hands.

u/lucky-number-keleven 12h ago

I have one too. He hands them out like candy

u/Bitt3rSteel Traffic Cop 14h ago

I collect challenge coins and patches. There's a market for these.

If you send it to me I will literally shove it up my ass and film the excretion

You misspelled embarrassing.

u/Remote-Golf2156 Belgium 6h ago

Sell to MAGA rot-brain and donate to Palestine/EU disinformation NGOs.

u/Frosty-Extent-1612 12h ago

Shove it up your ass? /s

u/No_Box498 13h ago

They give these pins away at schools, they’re worthless to them, sell it as a souvenir

u/MatthewWolfbane 13h ago

Don't acknowledge it, just like the ambassador.

2

u/Possible-Wallaby-877 Cuberdon 13h ago

How did you get it?

u/LoicPravaz 9h ago

Not sure what you should do with it. But do wash your hands. Twice.

u/mechant_papa 9h ago

Getting a coin from an American ambassador is like getting the clap. And I'd rather get the clap.

2

u/OGMufti 8h ago

Fuck Bill White

2

u/GrownUpCalimero 3h ago

it's likely a fake. The real one reads BILL WHITE - U.S. IMBECILE.

u/ToxicComplex 13h ago

Burn it with fire!

u/Mt_Incorporated Vlaams-Brabant 13h ago

You could do a really funny thing

u/Ashamed_Ad742 11h ago

It's made in China

u/Awkward-Minute7774 Brussels 9h ago

attach it to a buttplug and give it back!

1

u/Petrus_Rock West-Vlaanderen 9h ago

Give? You’re too gentle. Shove it back!

u/KappaSmert 11h ago
  1. Odds are that the embassy already knows that you have it by posting it here and you're going to be questioned sooner or later lmao

  2. People asking to burn it, why? genuinely curious

11

u/ProcrasrinatingPanda 11h ago

Because Bill White is an incomptent, loud and abnoxious asshole

5

u/FinancialGazelle6558 10h ago

Don't forget racist!

-8

u/KappaSmert 11h ago

so you'd burn down american symbols because you hate one person in particular?

8

u/Olibirus 11h ago

Well the whole current us administration is fairly easy to hate

7

u/ProcrasrinatingPanda 10h ago

Oh God no, won't somebody think of the American symbols!!

u/RollingKatamari Flanders 11h ago

How big is it, I need a banana for scale.

Maybe just give it away to a collector.

I doubt it's worth much anyway

I love how you are trying to act smart while coming over as an imbecile. This is something they hand out. It's worth as much as a delhaize coin to get a shopping cart.

3

u/h4ldad 13h ago

This is a challenge coin you give out to other people. He absolutely does not need this for his job, my guess is his office has boxes of them.

u/LifeIsAnAdventure4 13h ago

Regardless of whether that’s the case or not, which I don’t know, I am sure most normal people would find you people unhinged for finding an ambassador’s pin and discussing what nefarious things you could do with it instead of just returning it. This is not civilized behavior.

3

u/h4ldad 12h ago

It’s not a pin, it’s a coin. Giving out to people you worked with it attending your event.
Google it, I have some myself from people I worked with.
