Only because people couldn’t be bothered with learning the over-under cable coiling method.

Homeless people are just losers who lost the game of Capitalism, their punishment is just and necessary for them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and start a Fortune 500 company

Try Norway. Our electric companies were sold to private investors who sold our electricity to the EU, and then they sold too much so they had to buy it back at exorbitant prices and the public is footing the bill for their dumbassery.
It’s not as bad as it was a year ago but it’s still about 15 times more expensive than it was just 4 years ago.

Runk means masturbation in Icelandic so that adds another layer of hilarity to this

Yall ever just unwind and smoke 20 cigarettes at once? Relaxes your soul, 20 cigarettes does

He tried really hard to be called the “real life Tony Stark” and he was successful until, idk, he fired his publicist? Whoever that was did a hell of a job making this moron look smart

Sometimes I look at pictures of puffins in flight because they look so ridiculous lol

That is actually a lot closer to the Icelandic one, except the F sounds more like a V and -röst rhymes with bust.

As an Icelander, the pronounciations of the nordic names in Marvel movies crack me up. Especially Bifrost (which they pronounce “bi-frost” instead of 'bif-rost", and Laufey (pronounced very differently, also a decidedly female name).

Idk, I feel like Lemmy has way more dank memes than Reddit. Also more boomer memes.

I find that whenever I go to metal shows, most people are very kind, polite and free of bigotry. Maybe what you’re describing is a US thing, or maybe it’s just that Metallica is a super mainstream band which attracts more dickheads than your average metal show.

I’m Icelandic and I just learned about this now! To be fair I learned fuck all about pre-20th century US history in school and I’ve basically just puzzled it together through movies and references online.

Lol a good friend of mine lives on a homestead. He chops wood, builds things with his own hands and has an apple orchard.
But that’s not his job, he’s a software engineer

Why are you using someone else’s bones and why can I see your bones?!?!

I have to know if this picture already existed or if you just made that because it’s perfect

Not in Norway lol. If you want to meet up at 11:20 you say “ti på halv tolv” meaning "ten minutes before half hour before twelve.
Yeah, it took me a while to wrap my head around it too.

This is classic greenwashing. It’s the smallest possible gesture a soda company can make to show that they “care about the environment” while not making any actual change to be more eco-friendly.
Same thing with those awful paper straws. Are you really asking me to believe that a massive burger chain can neutralize their footprint by giving you a straw that turns soggy in minutes? The straws were never the real problem, but it’s the smallest possible step they can take to seem eco-friendly.

Yeah probably, a surprising amount of Icelandic idioms have Danish/Norwegian counterparts
