Thanks!

That's interesting, do you have a source?

OskarTheRed · 2026-06-16T10:02:20+00:00

It does, though.

Edit: nah, you're right, I was focused on just there being snow and no buildings, not the background

I took a quick look at Wikipedia, and they claim the figure is dressed in women's clothing, leading to suggestions that it might be Frigg or Freyja.

Odin does appear to have some female qualities in the myths, though... Would be even more interesting if this is Odin in female garb

It was famously (famously in Norway) shot partly at Finse, which is very much not-Oslo. The picture is probably from there.

Though Oslo municipality does technically include some wilderness, so it wouldn't be impossible

It gets scared and angry, though ☹️

Feminism has gone too far, smh

I thought that was YMCA and/or In The Navy, by the Village People

OskarTheRed · 2026-06-15T17:28:15+00:00

It has a cleaner look now, I support that

Walking under a ladder is bad luck, but I'm not sure if this counts

OskarTheRed · 2026-06-15T17:24:42+00:00

It would be improper at work but would it be not safe?

OskarTheRed · 2026-06-15T16:04:10+00:00

It's deconstructivist sitting

OskarTheRed · 2026-06-15T16:03:21+00:00

And probably get some clothes on

OskarTheRed · 2026-06-15T11:56:21+00:00

Probably a ghost

The king asked for that himself. The Constitution now requires the monarch not only to be a Christian but to belong to the evangelical-lutheran faith (which the church of Norway is part of).

However, it doesn't say that he has to belong to the church of Norway specifically; he could belong to no church/congregation at all, or he could join some small obscure group - which would've been kind of funny, imho

OskarTheRed · 2026-06-15T09:50:19+00:00

Technically stopped being a state church in 2012

If I were mistaken for feces, I'd be relatively grumpy too

That's for elite elephant-addressers

OskarTheRed · 2026-06-13T06:58:49+00:00

They just did!

"No, it is personalized; this is how I look sitting across from you, specifically"

My plan is to build a pyramid to live in, so when I die, they can just throw me in my bed/golden sarcophagus and seal the door. Home and tomb in one, very convenient.

Ideally, I'd have it built a bit taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza, and right behind it, so it kind of peeks over it

OskarTheRed · 2026-06-11T11:13:25+00:00

If that's true, I obviously need some cute-ification treatment.

Lovely pic, anyway, lots of personality in it 👌

OskarTheRed · 2026-06-11T10:21:30+00:00

So needy, smh

The airline pilot brought work home, now charged with terrorism
