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

These are all the questions my girlfriend asks me all the time and I give her the deer-in-the-headlights look.
I really need her in my life lol
Sure, I guess we don’t need writers, painters, visual artists, musicians and filmmakers. I mean, what do they do really, enrich our culture and move our souls? Pff, AI can do that easily.
They recently did that in Norway, it has improved my life by about 1%. You still get the flour explosion when opening a new bag though.
Techno Viking is a time traveller so he doesn’t count. Fun fact, Vikings used to have a rave after a successful raid
Vikings were a very particular group of Scandinavians who, during parts of the year, went on their longboats and raided villages and stole stuff to bring home. For most of the year, they were farmers and fishermen. Having Scandinavian ancestry does not make you a viking, they literally don’t exist anymore.
I’m 100% Nordic by the way
I live in Norway and one year I planted 10 chili plants. I treated those plants like royalty and in the end I got like maybe 2 chilis per plant 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).
I went on a 2 week holiday earlier this year and I barely took a single picture lol
That’s definitely the case since I can’t read Chinese lol
That’s super interesting! I barely know any Chinese and probably just assumed the characters were for language instead of numbers.
The public transit system used arabic numbers (maybe as well as the Chinese characters?), so at least that was easy to navigate lol
When I went to China about 5 years ago, all the numbers were Arabic numbers. Not sure if this is a regional thing, or if this is a more recent development.
A friend of mine has his birthday on feb 29th. He was turning 49 and me and my gf showed up to his party with balloons with the number 12 on them (since that’s how many actual birthdays he’d had).
Idk, I feel like Lemmy has way more dank memes than Reddit. Also more boomer memes.
My buddy once bought a few cans of Space Coke for us to try. I told him it tasted like TV static. He said “well technically, TV static is interference from space, so it literally tastes like space”.
A catapult can buy many peanuts
My mind immediately goes to the Ferengi whenever someone says “females” about women.
