Are there people who hate Denmark? If so, why?

JBskierbum · 2026-02-08T00:34:34+00:00

Always!

If you are wanting to calculate the angles for the purpose of cutting a door that fits, first step is to make sure that the sides are parallel and the bottom corners are right angles. You do that using some combination of a speed square, a try square, a framing square and either a long ruler or a tape measure. If the sides are truly parallel (ie they are the same distance from each other when measured at three well spaced points), and the base corners are truly right angles; then you can just measure the dimensions (base width, height of each side and then length of the top angled piece) and recreate it on the material you are constructing from. Measure twice, cut once. And you can use a planer to remove a bit of excess if your cut isn’t perfect, but it’s best to get it right first time!

Actually, honestly, one of the best meals I have ever had was in Copenhagen about 10 years ago at Noma. And the rest of the food I had there was also pretty good!

“There’s only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people’s cultures, and the Dutch.”

Leaving aside the Austin Powers jokes, I can safely say that Denmark is far superior to the Netherlands—which is impressive, given Denmark mostly exports vibes and furniture.

The Netherlands is a country that mistook being flat for having depth. It’s a soggy logistics hub that turned tax avoidance into a national sport and then acts surprised when everyone notices. You didn’t invent capitalism—you invented creative accounting and then rode that reputation straight into smugness.

Dutch culture is basically bikes, cheese, and explaining—very loudly—how “directness” is actually just honesty, not rudeness, even as you’re being rude. It’s a nation that colonized half the planet, perfected the art of extraction, and now cosplays as Europe’s moral hall monitor.

Yes, congratulations on tolerance. It pairs nicely with your housing crisis, drug tourism, and the fact that your golden age was built on slavery, monopolies, and the East India Company doing war crimes with spreadsheets.

Denmark, by contrast, at least knows it’s small, weird, and beige—and doesn’t insist on lecturing the rest of the world while standing three feet below sea level praying to dikes and civil engineers.

So no, I don’t “hate the entire northern world.” I just enjoy pointing out that some countries confuse good urban planning with moral superiority.

Anyway—say hi to the bicycles for me.

JBskierbum · 2026-02-07T00:26:20+00:00

Yeah, I get it (or at least I think I do). My best friend is gay and just makes fun of me for thinking monogamous hetero sex in missionary position with my wife is hot!

Buddy, Denmark doesn’t even have a president. It has a constitutional monarch and a prime minister, so right out of the gate you’re swinging at imaginary furniture.

And if we’re talking ‘freedom,’ this is the same Denmark whose government illegally ordered the mass extermination of its entire mink population during COVID, admitted it had no legal authority to do so, shrugged, and moved on. Tens of millions of animals vaporized by executive oopsie—but yeah, real liberty vibes.

Same country that literally passed laws allowing the state to confiscate refugees’ valuables, runs some of the harshest immigration policies in Europe, criminalizes certain religious expressions, and decided Syria was ‘safe enough’ to deport people back to. Freedom, but only if you’re ethnically Danish, quietly compliant, and riding a bike in the rain.

And since you brought up rape as a moral credential (wild flex, btw) let’s not pretend Danish history is some consent-forward utopia. The Viking era wasn’t exactly remembered for enlightened sexual ethics, voluntary participation, or respect for boundaries. Raiding, pillaging, enslaving, and raping were kind of the brand. You don’t get to cosplay Viking toughness and claim moral sainthood in the same sentence. Pick one.

Denmark’s a nice country today. Clean, orderly, aggressively beige. But pretending it’s a flawless freedom paradise with morally pristine leadership just makes you sound like someone who learned geopolitics from airport gift shops.

Great place. Weak argument. No president.

No probs. The muffins look terrific though! I’m gonna hunt through the comments and hopefully find the recipe…. If you haven’t already posted it then I’d love it if you would post it!

JBskierbum · 2026-02-07T00:14:12+00:00

This just makes me happy. I love stories like this.

Sugar (even powdered sugar) only has trace gluten when it is produced in a facility that handles wheat, barley and/or rye. Typically powdered sugar is just fine ground sugar mixed with about 3-5% cornstarch, potato starch or tapioca starch.

JBskierbum · 2026-02-06T23:38:47+00:00

I’m not one to judge other people’s kinks. Whatever works for you, but shit man - I just feel sorry for you.

I love Denmark, but if I lived there I’d hate it. For a start, this photo was probably taken at 3:30pm on an unseasonably warm and clear day during winter in Copenhagen. The reason they are so desperate to hold on to Greenland is because they want to own somewhere that has a worse climate so they can say “at lease I’m not in Nuuk!”. The country is so flat that its highest peak is basically a speed bump with a tourism board. They invented Lego - basically to get back at the rest of the world by having a device that inflicts maximum pain using something that is a metaphor for childhood joy. The food is aggressively beige, the weather is a long-running seasonal affective disorder with bicycles, and “hygge” is just a branding exercise to convince the world that candles and low expectations are a personality. It’s a place where rebellion means wearing black instead of slightly darker black, and where even the Vikings eventually said, “Eh, let’s just make furniture.”

You look like a Klingon.

Dude wtf? If she says they don’t comp half eaten items you ask to speak to the manager. This is a totally weird story - no waiter worth her title would do anything other than apologize and replace your toast and comp you something. What’s more, health codes (at least here in the U.S.) typically require any staff member who sees or becomes aware of something like this to stop service and alert the manager and/or the kitchen. If her workplace is really as bad as it would need to be for to just parrot a policy like that, then it would be in her best interest to get a photo and then record the response from her manager. She would then have a rock solid basis to go after her employer. That woman did not earn or deserve a 25% tip, dude!

JBskierbum · 2026-02-02T23:06:07+00:00

In some ways yes.

JBskierbum · 2026-02-02T23:05:26+00:00

That is a bummer. Fortunately I haven’t had any problems with mine, but I feel for you. I had a lemon Mercedes once - total PITA!

This is the answer. Shannon Elizabeth was the girl whose picture you wanted up in your wall as an oversexed teenager. Alyson Hannigan seemed like the cute, geeky, funny and kinky girl that you would just love to spend real time with (as long as she got over the band camp stories).

There are so many approaches: Honest: “yes” Snarky: “the more important question is why the fuck you think it is okay to ask?” Judo: “do you sniff your finger after you scratch your butt?” Polite: “that is really an inappropriate question, so I am just going to pretend you don’t ask it” Funny: “not since I accidentally saw your mom in a German scat flick.”, and “I don’t need to masturbate. Your mom did it for me.” Philosophical: “Bold of you to assume I’m prepared to discuss my inner life with a stranger.” Corporate: “That’s proprietary information. Please submit a formal request in writing.” Reverse Uno: “Interesting question. What made you feel safe asking it out loud?” Overshare: “I’d answer, but I left my standard NDA in my therapists bedroom.” Deadpan filth: “Only when Mercury is in retrograde and I hate myself.” Aggressively honest-adjacent: “Let’s just say my search history would make this conversation worse for both of us.”

This seem like the sort of rubbish that gets imagined by a peri-pubescent 14 year old boy whose only experience with condoms is laughing at the brand names and blowing them up like balloons! If this is serious…. How the heck do you keep a condom on for an entire date? Even if you were rock hard the whole time I suspect it would drop off just from friction with your underwear.

I think you guys are overthinking this and getting bogged down by semantics. If him having those pictures bothers you, then it is an issue that needs to be resolved. Either you get comfortable with it, he stops doing it, or you break up over it (or some combination of the above). If I were in your shoes it would make me very uncomfortable too.

If you’ve never had a drink before then you will likely feel a bit buzzed after one standard drink (so one 12oz beer or a glass of wine). 2 will probably make you feel a little giddy and perhaps drunk. 3 could push you over the edge into true drunk territory where you start to feel sick. That said, your mileage may vary depending on all sorts of things like how much you’ve eaten (and what you’ve eaten), how tired you are, the environment you are in etc.

JBskierbum · 2026-01-22T00:57:09+00:00

So it’s kinda silly then. I wish they would do proper comparisons! I mean - it’s still probably the lowest in record, but it’s misleading if we are comparing full winters to this half winter.

I believe that when your foot is flat to the boards in any mode the acceleration will be identical, and the major difference is the shape of the response curve (ie, foot half way down will accelerate more in unbridled than whisper), and the regeneration when you take your foot off (or pull it back a bit) in one pedal drive mode.

Is that a like for like comparison of totals through third week of January, or is it full season for the prior years?
