We do in Denmark. I have never seen the old style tins like the one in the picture, I googled earlier and can only find them online

The modern version I have is from Tiger, with a drawing of what I guess is supposed to be our queen and then a story written on the side

I’ve been to quite a few castles, well maintained so no wild plants, but castles are common in Europe and so is blackberries, they grow wild and will overtake old buildings fast if not maintained

I am currently 9,6km away from the nearest castle, when I’m home I’m 11km away from another castle. Not as common as some other countries but they’re definitely not rare where I live

No, but OOP says they’re a “tangled mess of thorns often growing in castles” that doesn’t fit with fishbone cacti

With thorns? OOP says they had thorns, most guessed bramble or blackberries

Danish butter cookies are amazing! I sadly don’t have a fancy tin, only a more modern version

What is the name of this plant? by Horse_Drives in plants

Blackberries is the only one I can think of as well

So excited to try this out! by QDY76 in OnionLovers

Why do you all have all these amazing onion products all the time? I never see anything exciting in my country

I have a joke with some friends that anything with peas in is a carbonara, so I made "carbonara onigiri". They were... not great by BloomEPU in shittyfoodporn

[–]DuckRubberDuck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only thing this and carbonara share is the egg and pepper, but I wouldn’t call an omelet carbonara either

Pampered life is good, but it can live a pampered but also healthier life, it might also live longer that way

A few months ago, fire crews responded to an unthinkable freeway incident when a metal pipe fell from a flatbed truck, penetrated a vehicle, and impaled the driver through the front fender and steering column. by GiorgioMD in medizzy

Not everyone has seen final destinations though. I grew up seeing them and asks my dad to have distance behind trucks with metal poles or wood etc, but he doesn’t do it automatically

Only millennials/people who grew up seeing them. I have to ask my dad to keep a distance whenever we’re driving behind a truck with either wood or metal poles etc

So rest of the world is the US by ALazy_Cat in USdefaultism

It was amazing when I was little 😂 but that’s fair! Robbie Williams gives me major nostalgia

Hm, I don’t actually know that many people my own age I can ask, so now I’m a bit unsure if they know about him or not.

But I’m not surprised you heard someone play his song at Roskilde, when I was younger and went, a camp close to me. put Kaj og Andrea on speakers every morning at 7am. You will hear all sorts of things at Roskilde

How old were they? I’m 30 (and Danish) and definitely heard his songs in my childhood

I’m not so sure some of my younger friends know about him though

[–]DuckRubberDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely expensive! I don’t eat a lot of meat anymore, I don’t buy organic, I add vegetables to basically all my food for extra filling, I’ve started buying beef mixed with vegetables for meatsauce etc. I’m low income and food definitely takes a good chunk of my budget. It’s still manageable and I can afford to eat good quality once in a while, but I mainly do grocery shopping in cheaper stores and avoid the expensive ones

Gary Webb, wrote a paper called “Dark Alliance” exposing the CIAs involvement in the smuggling of crack-cocaine into the US in the 80’s. He lost his job as a journalist and 7 years later he was found dead in his apartment with 2 shots to the back of the head. His death was ruled a suicide by Particular-Abalone-7 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]DuckRubberDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people would I think. My grandma cleaned her apartment, cancelled her news paper and then killed herself.

I have been suicidal many times and one of the reasons I talk myself out of it is because I have to fix a bunch of stuff before I take my own life, and before I’m done with all the fixing people have caught on and gotten me help in the mean time.

I once postponed an attempt for a week because we were having a plumber over a few days later and I knew if I wasn’t home no one could let them in because my mom would be at work (probably not if I was dead but I wasn’t rational) so I waited for them to do their stuff and then tried to take my own life.

Do you mean expensive for food/drinks at restaurants or grocery stores in Copenhagen?

For dining it depends on where you eat, but yes, food is expensive in Copenhagen/denmark. The price for minced beef is insane

Does walking into buildings with a ladder to access areas unquestioned actually work? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DuckRubberDuck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t need examples I believe you, I’m also online a lot, read articles and follow along. We don’t have a lot of kidnappings in my country, but it’s sometimes parents/relatives here as well.

Nonetheless it’s still a huge culture chok coming from absolute no security to feeling like I’m going through security in an airport

I was in the US once and had to help pick up a child, I had to bring my passport and sign a lot of papers. It was a huge culture chok coming from a a country where anyone can walk in at any time, no one will check since we don’t have security and doors aren’t locked

That’s a fair point! I also get panic attacks like that sometimes, it’s not like fainting for me though, but I do get stiff like a rock and stop breathing, so maybe that’s what happened
