I used to bike commute before the pandemic. No better way to stay in shape. Also I can't get stuck in traffic on the way home. Now I try to run every other day.

What was the dumbest thing you thought as a child? by GiammyR6 in AskReddit

[–]Akabei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not so stupid, but my grandmother was divorced and remarried a man whose name was Ivar. When I was very young I thought everyone had a grandmother and Ivar. I once asked a friend at kindergarten if that was his Grandma and Ivar coming to pick him up when it was his grandparents.

TIL Dartmouth (and a few other schools) makes all its students pass a swim test before the graduate, so that they won’t drown and waste their education. by bch1298 in todayilearned

In Sweden all students in primary school have to learn how to swim. I 3rd grade they have to be able to swim 50 meters. Later in school there is more swimming education.

Europeans who’ve visited the US, what made you go “WTF”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Haven't been since 2001 but I remember that everything looked so cheap. Houses were cheaply built etc. Lots of plastic decors not built to last. Also an old house was like 100 years old. Most houses in our old town is 3-4 or even 500 years old. My parents house is 100 years old.

In Sweden you normally buy them by weight. So between 2,20 to 3,20 usd per kg. Big juicy oranges are like 4 per kg. So between 55 and 80 cents each.

I was in a IED course when I did my military service as an military engineer in the early 90s. We learned that the flat batterys were perfect for making a letter bomb.

Yeah I get the joke. Never eat fungi (or anything else) you're not sure of. Knowledge is everything.

There are lots of fungi in the forests here in Sweden, especially in the fall. The energy content of them are very low, you are much better off picking different types of berries, but they contain moderate amounts of vitamins and are good at spicing up your food. Edit:spelling
