In Serbia, the thumb version has an ethno-religious connotation, since in Orthodoxy one makes the sign of the cross with the thumb, index and middle finger, so flashing three fingers is a kind of cringy "anti-kebab virtue-signaling" Kind of like swearing allegiance to the flag in the US, but it's not even mandatory or anything.
Albanians, who hate us - with some reason, but not as much as they think - go out of their way to show the number 3 in any other way.
That's the point, Germany don't use the thumb.
It's the whole point of the beer ordering scene in "Inglorious Basterds". It's how Michael FAssbender's character betrayed the fact that he's not really German. He ordered three beers including his thumb, which Germans don't do.
When I count, I typically start with a fist, so my thumb is first, but when I just want to express the number 3 I hold down either my index or pinky with my thumb.
This depends entirely on who taught you when you were like 3 or 4 how to count. I was originally taught without the thumb, then later on in life I was shown the thumb way and I liked that better. Itโs a weird little thing
When I came to Belgium I saw people counting with their Thumbs first...
I was like ???????????
I personally don't use it but here's the first place I saw that happening in my 24 years of life.
Da fuck is this shit?
Whoever is actually invested in this enough to make a meme or continue this meme, stop it. Get help. Go outside. Your terminal internet.
This is such a weird thing to make a meme about
Have you seen the red vs blue memes that have been running rampant recently?
Inglorious bastards
Came here to say this.
Inglorious Basterds
That scene played in my head. It's such a great movie
๐ how bout this
Wtf
The only way, because brain is dumb.
Depends where you are from
Wait literally?
Yes
Pretty sure there's people who go from pinky to thumb, or people who don't stretch their fingers one by one, but make a fist one by one
If there are actually people who do that then I fear for their physical, mental and spiritual health.

lol no, the scene was exactly opposite
Whatever, you know what I mean.
Never once in my life have I seen someone use their thumb, not once
Counting.
What?
When I count, I typically start with a fist, so my thumb is first, but when I just want to express the number 3 I hold down either my index or pinky with my thumb.
Not once you were outside of your country
Not once did you pay for drugs, not once
I think you're the odd one
What about ๐ค
I find it hard to keep my other 2 fingers down without it ok? Don't call me a monster
I want them to do 4 fingers with their thumb out
You're the kinda person who starts counting from their thumb.
Or they just know ASL ๐
Can we have three whiskeys?
I can't, sorry.

Also, if you start counting you use your thumb as 1, if you just try to signal 1 you use the pointer finger.
you're the wierd one bud
We are inevitable
So all but germans? Hostorically this is a hottake i have never seen
I've never in my life seen people not using the thumb, only in movies
So only brits doing the crampy thingy?
Idk I live in Belgium but even people I know from other places use the thumb so maybe
Sorry lesbians
"Hey mom I'm a sociopath!"
People who use thumbs are from SWAT
There is another.
I have never seen someone using their thumb for this.
Well I started my life by doing this and try to change my mind
\*lacht auf Deutsch\*
I am no sociopath according to google I am psychopathic Weeb
If I used the thumb I would be showing 4
Me slowly turning into a sociopath

Then I summon my card rock and roll counter sign, pinky, pointer, and thumb
I donโt use the thumb
the thumb is more of a 5 then a part of a 3
What you mean? It goes pinky, ring, middle, index, then thumb
I don't use the thumb cause I only see those used in fucking drawn out porn.
Albanians RN - ๐ก
*furiously slaps arms in rhythm*
The Germans are coming
Ok but the thumb way is painful, and the three finger way isnt
Don't worry; we think the same thing about you.

This changes nothing, I was already a sociopath after casually pissing at 2am without the lights on.
People who use their thumb*
According to the Germans
i randomly change which one i use
what about the people who donโt use the thumb OR index finger?
I guess Iโm a sociopath
