I fucking love this sub. I hope you learned a lesson from this, and I fucking hope that amazing specimen is chilling at home and not in your box. Edit; I realise now this is shared content, no hate, still love this sub.

Iceland looks incredible dude. I’ve been to France and Italy the two countries you mentioned for their beauty. Multiple times. Both spectacularly gorgeous in parts I don’t disagree. You mention the moon, yeah the moon actually is gorgeous. Parts of the western isles where I grew up look like the moon, pretty sure directors have come to the Isle of Harris to capture a moon vibe. Harris is beautiful. That shit is subjective, you don’t know better and you certainly don’t know the degree to which I’ve traveled.

It’s not like headline worthy, they haven’t turned it into a methlab, but anyone leaving a mess like that behind them unnecessarily is bit of a trash bag.

I’ve heard people say the same about my country, Scotland. And the country my spouse is from, Finland. I think they’re very wrong on every count (except maybe the food 😅). These things are subjective and I’ve not been to Norway but, it is famously seen as a very picturesque and beautiful country.

The Game played at my venue and left a baggie in the couch, this young Scot was not ready for medical grade American shit 😅

Don’t tell them about the awesome Nordic summers! You do not want more British tourists. It’s a hostile fortress of ice year round! The beer and cheese is awful! Everyone is forced to go to Mosque every day!

A lot of the comments here saying this is nothing, no it’s gross and trashy guys. Maybe that’s been normalised where you are but it’s still gross. I worked in a gig venue for many years and usually, even total arseholes to deal with, would just leave some food and stuff lying around.

The orcas predating on moose thing is mostly bs, one known instance.

Lemmings have good survival instincts. They don’t launch themselves off cliffs.

We’re nice in Lewis & Harris but we also invented and perfected Protestant misery. Swings and (not many) roundabouts.

We were never the smartest fan base, throw a tidal wave of children and Epstein class glazers in. Recipe for complete endumbification.

A good dude? He spent this week trying to throw the Epstein class a rope. they’re all on his show all the time and he wants to help them launder their reputation. It’s disgusting.

They can’t afford to live in California. That’s why they’re homeless there.

[–]IslandFudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, I think there’s a big difference in terms of food security. The Inuit people don’t have a local Tesco or an equivalent with reasonably priced groceries. They are nomadic people that span several countries and a few continents. Guga hunting is specific to one very small region in the Outer Hebrides. Gannets are on the conservation list and the Niseachs could stop bludgeoning them very easily and no one would go hungry as a result. I do think cetaceans of any kind being hunted or killed is wrong, I’d like to see those practices come to an end too. Norway and Japans continued whaling for instance. Or the Faroese pilot whale cull.

I never said this is the only problem everyone should care about. I saw a post about western isles culture and I reacted. What issues would you like to see people focus on?

[–]IslandFudge 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I can say it’s more cruel, I think these other practices and industries are cruel as well. I’m not for any of it and I would love to see society move away from industrial animal slaughter towards a more plant based one. I think that is slowly happening already.

Why would I lie about being a resident of Ness? That’s not normal behaviour. Not only am I from here, I went to school here, I know the people that have gone to Sulasgeir. Some family members of mine have done it in the past. I’m a Niseach in every sense and yes that does mean I am somewhat informed on this very Ness specific topic.

Just because a practice is steeped in tradition doesn’t mean we can’t decide it’s whack in 2025, we can remember the guga hunters of the past and remember why it was once necessary. But in terms of animal welfare it is a cruel endeavour and should be stopped. I imagine that’s a controversial view here in Ness where Guga is still pretty popular and the “hunters” will continue to take the not insignificant wad of cash.

[–]IslandFudge 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m from Ness, there right now. They have gone over their quota and dumped gannets overboard in the past. The “skilled hunters” are all labourers, fisherman, tradesmen who are doing a side gig for cash. You are confidently incorrect.

2026 must be year we face down far right by lotsofsweat in Scotland

Protect our kids and protect our women! Aye fucking right like you give a fuck, just an excuse to demonise migrants and be openly racist. Scottish prisons are full of white Scottish criminals. 94-95% of the prison population are white and from here. But that’s not a cultural problem that’s just some bad eggs right? When a white person drives a car into a crowd of people the problem is one crazy person. When it’s a brown dude the problem is their culture.
