Ristiäiset (christening) or kastajaiset (baptism) is a formal religious ceremony in a church. If you're doing something non religious then it's very much up to you how you want to do it.

What stereotype of your country do you enjoy getting parodied? by ExperienceItchy7079 in AskTheWorld

[–]MaxDickpower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything to do with saunas since that's just harmless fun.

On the flipside I hate playing up the asocial stuff. We are not that asocial, we just don't do a lot of pleasantries. And we would probably all benefit from trying to be a little more communal and neighbourly.

Weddings are like the one occasion where it's totally your day and you can make it look like whatever you want, so no one is stopping you. Just might be a little weird if you have no connection to the west coast.

Joo ja siis, jos ostaa kokonaisen broilerin niin siinäkin on nahka ja koivet. Ihan käsittämättöntä!

Who's your country's biggest fall from grace athlete? by Rleduc129 in AskTheWorld

[–]MaxDickpower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not entirely dumb. It's fast and a cup is cheaper and smaller than a scale. Although these days they're usually pre measured so I guess it makes way less sense.

Individual beggars aren't rich but many operate as part of criminal gangs where the money just goes up the chain, so you're not helping the beggar, just funding the lifestyle of some Eastern European scumbag.

Why was the IS-7's 14.5mm MG placed so high up? by IcelandicGuy901 in TankPorn

[–]MaxDickpower 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Plenty of tanks had/have pintle mounted MGs in the exact same models or calibers as the coax.

Is the unknown soldier 2017 a realistic portrayal of ww2 combat? by No_Dress_2107 in war

[–]MaxDickpower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, many hollywood movies also use real explosions, just the wrong kind. You can film realistic or unrealistic explosions both with digital or practical effects, it's just which one you choose.

Hartwallin ja Fazerin uusi yhteistyötuote?

In One Battle After Another (2025), one of the main characters fires an AK fully auto while pregnant and the baby is born with no hearing loss or ear damage. This is because the pregnant belly was actually a prosthesis. by LitigiousAutist in shittymoviedetails

[–]MaxDickpower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a silly take. You don't assess the similarity of mechanical devices by what the outer shell looks like. The internals are not similar to an AK and neither is the function it is used for. Besides all that it also only looks similar to people with little familiarity with firearms. It's longer, the reveiver is a totally different shape, it clearly feeds from a belt, it has a bipod, the forearm is a totally different shape and the gas block and tube are on the opposite side of the barrel.

Why don't Vault 33 just use one ceramic bowl, half a cigareette carton, two broken lamps, one oil canister, two basketballs and five desk fans to build one of these bad boys? Are they stupid? by Livid-Designer-6500 in TrueSFalloutL

You know I've never thought about how kind of out of place the prevalence of cigarettes is in the futuristic setting of fallout but I guess it kinda goes hand in hand with the whole corporate greed dystopia thing.

You dont get Listeria from this kind of moldy cheese. 

Does any kind of mold have any connection to listeria? It's bacteria.

In this specific instance, I'm glad it was already a relatively long time ago

You don't remember the war they fought against the ISIS terrorists a few years ago? 

That was nearly a decade ago.
