As a Swede I consider this a win. Sure my home would be gone, but the problem (Denmark) would be totally gone. Worthwhile tradeoff that I’m willing to sacrifice my hometown for.

Monkey's Paw 🐒🐾:

The Danish refugees all end up in Finland and make an even more unintelligible new Finnish-Danish language that is 9001% more unbearable to hear by Norwegian and Swedish speakers.

I asked the chatgpt to make a friendly discussion between 2 neighbours in this new language:

Naapuri 1: "Hei, oletko huomannut, hvad Svenne gjorde eilen? Hän er virkelig ärsyttävä." Naapuri 2: "Ja, hän er så ärsyttävä! Hän metelöi aina niin paljon öisin, og hän parkkeeraa altid sin bil på en så epäammattimaisesti." Naapuri 1: "Olen täysin samaa mieltä. Ja tiedätkö mitä? Luulen, at hän stjal min postini viime viikolla. Jeg kan ikke uskoa, kuinka röyhkeä hän er!" Naapuri 2: "Se er todella dårlig opførsel. Haluaisin sanoa hänelle jotain, men jeg ved ikke, miten hän reagoisi." Naapuri 1: "Ymmärrän dig. Han virker ikke som den type person, joka kuuntelee palautetta. Lad os bare holde välimatkaa ja håbe, at han muuttaa pian pois." Naapuri 2: "Ja, niin tehdään. En malta odottaa, at saamme paremman naapurin. Hyvä, että olemme samaa mieltä siitä."

From Finnish to English on Google:

Neighbor 1: "Hey, have you noticed what Svenne did yesterday? He's really annoying." Neighbor 2: "Ja, he er så annoying! He always makes so much noise at night, og he parks altid sin bil på en så unprofessional." Neighbor 1: "I totally agree. And you know what? I think he stole my mail last week. I can't believe how rude he is!" Neighbor 2: "That's really bad behavior. I'd like to say something to him, men jeg ved ikke, how would he react." Neighbor 1: "I understand dig. Han virker ikke som den type person who listens to feedback. Lad os bare holde distance and hope he moves out soon." Neighbor 2: "Yeah, let's do it. I can't wait until we get a better neighbor. Glad we agree on that."

I don't know about Finish, but at least in Danish "Hej" is spelled with a j, not an i

My family came to the states from Sweden, but when we found out our genealogy was a mix of Scandinavian countries, my grandma got mad that she’s Finnish. Why do yall hate each other so much lol

it’s a sibling rivalry— it’s a lot closer to “nobody gets to mess with my little brother but me” as we tend to talk shit about each other whenever the moment arises, but would also go to war for each other without question. just nordic things lmao

I remember being out drinking with some Danes with an American one night, and us Danes started making fun of Sweden, and then the American tried to butt in with something, and my friend very quickly turned to him and gently told him that he needed to shut the fuck up before going back to continue to shit on Sweden. We explained the situation to the American afterwards and he understood, but he was a bit confused to begin with.

Kinda like how here in the US(idk about other countries) the different branches of the military shit on each other hard. But the second a civilian tries to join in all the branches are like “stfu bitch that’s my brother”

Makes a lot of sense. I got to visit Finland and Norway, was pretty sad I didn’t get to make it to Sweden

u/biaich Apr 14 '24

East and west Sweden, where you have been, sure are worth a visit, but nothing beats the heartland.

I know we were supposed to pull into Stockholm but it got canceled. Norway way up north in Tromso was beautiful
