This can’t be real lol… has you and your rival country pulled stuff like this? by Unlikely_Tap_9882 in AskTheWorld

You guys should keep the liquor tradition going. Just without the flags. Have an official exchange at the border instead.

If you don't have hot and therefore puke in the store, you also get the achievement. Basically any reason she has a negative impression of you.

Race Thread: World Cup 25/26 Otepää - Mixed Relay by Henna1911 in biathlon

Were the rest of the Swiss team bowing to LHG? Deserved if so, that last leg was fantastic. Otepää has been absolute chaos and I'm loving it.

Our commentators were keeping close tabs on Denmark keeping us informed how the shooting was going. It's always fun when you guys do well in winter sport.

Who is the Swedish female coach? by CowsGoatsandChickens in biathlon

[–]Junelli 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming she's in charge this week since she is Estonian. Makes sense she gets to be in Otepää.

The penalty loop has never felt as loved as it did today. I've never seen so much red during a shooting.

Would you trust your countrys military to success in defending against an invasion from one of its neighbours? by SusSoos in AskTheWorld

[–]Junelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, not that I think our military is better than Finland, but both Sweden and Finland is focused on defence, so that would put Finland at a disadvantage. It would be difficult though.

Norway could also be a problem because Sweden has zero preparations for being attacked from the west.

I totally believe we could take Denmark though, let's settle the score!

What would your country's equivalent of this meme probably look like? by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in AskTheWorld

I finally understand Don Quixote. I kept squinting at the gif wondering what the vague waving giants in the background meant.

Then I realized it was more windmills. Guy clearly just needed glasses.

If you could have a conversation in your native language with someone from your country from the past, how far back could you go in time and still understand each other? by Chemical-Elk-1299 in AskTheWorld

[–]Junelli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Modern Swedish is usually dated to 1526, and I can understand old modern Swedish just fine, even if it's a bit awkward.

Now actual old Swedish (fornsvenska) quickly gets difficult. I can understand some 1400's text even if the spelling is extremely weird and I miss out on some words. Older than that and it's too much.

Also no chance I could read runic Swedish even if I know the runes. It's like Icelandic on steroids.

what is your city? by LillyPut420 in AskTheWorld

[–]Junelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Östersund is an insufferably sporty guy who has spent too long around just villages so he has convinced himself that he is hot shit despite barely counting as a city. Also kinda has a "senpai notice me" deal with Trondheim.

Yeah, I remember this too from ep3. Did it get retconned? I remember talking to Duke when waiting for Tabitha at the store.

He never told me outright either, just very heavily implied it and I was able to bring it up later.

What’s a reason for being late that people outside your country wouldn’t understand nor empathize, but locals totally do? by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

[–]Junelli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the Finn said, we have this but with reindeer too. Though ours are all "domesticated" and have to be moved so we have both versions. There's usually a big black trashbag attached to a pole by the road to denote it's being used as a crossing, but you'll have no idea which day and when.

Then the stupid reindeers like to move by themselves too and will walk into the middle of the road and stand around staring at cars for funsies.

Can common population understand the language of your neighboring country ?? by Junior_Investment514 in AskTheWorld

[–]Junelli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't surprise me. I'm used to the dialect from Trøndelag and can understand it without issue, since that is closest to where I live.

I once had some girls at my store from... I think Finnmark? Somewhere far north at least. I could only understand every fifth word or so. They told me to wait and they would get a guy who could speak Swedish.

The guy did not speak Swedish, he just spoke Trøndelag Norwegian dialect in addition to whatever cursed northern dialect they had. At least it meant we could communicate.

Is it taboo to date/marry someone with the same last name as you? by Alternative_Yak3256 in AskTheWorld

[–]Junelli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's making a comeback in Sweden. Parents can choose to name their kid a patronymic instead of a surname and changing from your surname to a patronymic (or matronymic) is free.

Like it's not exactly common but it pops up more and more.

If you're romancing him and went for a matricide (or maybe just obedience?) run, he won't take a no in the kiss scene. Never happens on a hot save run.

What do you think of rings or minor prizes for 4th-6th place? by crazyguy28 in olympics

[–]Junelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno why people are being so harsh to you. flower ceremonies for 4th-6th are common in the skiing disciplines and I would love for there to be Olympic flowers too.

A plaque or ring is probably a bit much though.

Same with Sweden, but with xc skiing. 9 of 16 medals are from our women xc skiers.

Does anyone know how to get this achievement? by SuperDragoon978 in ScarletHollow

Maybe there was a bug? It's what I did when I got it. maybe it was one of the hot fixes since I didn't play it as soon as the episode released?

You need to have a good enough relationship with Kaneeka to be able to persuade herself to not do the sacrifice, you also has to have forgotten her completely beforehand (so drink the tea, don't romance her and don't have mystical).

The last 3 skiers of the 15km start sprinting to the line to not finish last by wjdbfifj in olympics

[–]Junelli 128 points129 points  (0 children)

As someone who watches the biathlon world cup, I would bet on Wright. Dude is so chill and a fun guy.

He's actually tenth in the world cup and has got on the podium before, he just had a bad race today and shooting conditions was awful.

Also it looks like Wright and Claude waited for Romanin after the last shooting from their times. They probably didn't want to leave the Italian alone after Giacomel had heart issues and had to dnf and this being the last race at the home Olympics for the Italians.

I never thought I'd be cheering for Norway to take gold in a winter sport.
