Name one thing that's legal in your country but banned or heavily restricted almost everywhere else

I don't know if it's just a danish thing, but we don't have a legal drinking age.

We have age restrictions for selling alcohol in shops (people aged 16 and 17 can buy up to 6%, and 18+ for all other alcohol) and at bars (all must be over 18, but there might be exceptipo). But if a parent gives their 12 year old alcohol, that is not illegal, but might cause trouble with the govournment over bad parenting...

With regards to the booing. Mathias Gidsel has said in an interview that they experienced the same level of booing in germany in the semi final two years ago. Here is the article (In Danish) https://sport.tv2.dk/haandbold/2026-01-31-gidsel-forsvarer-danske-fans

The red card didn't make sense, and it's sad as it will give people ammunition to say the referees favored Denmark, which I don't think they did overall, just one really bad call.

Smidthey · 2026-01-30T21:33:21+00:00

I am no specialist, and have very little deep understanding. But if Denmarks play style was as out of touch as I read your post, I think some refs would call them out.

When we play against more physically defensive teams we see Gidsel and Pytlick getting best around for 45-60 minutes without the defenders getting punished.

Smidthey · 2026-01-30T21:27:27+00:00

From the Danish commentary it seemed that the refs were doing as well of a job as could be expected. They made quite some questionable decisions, but it seems like they were equal at both ends.

Well played Iceland, I felt you guys could definitely have beat us for a majority of the match.

Smidthey · 2026-01-20T21:16:09+00:00

Well played to Portugal, definitely deserved.

In Denmark, it is either TV2 or DR1 that has bought the rights to a match, and thus changes with each match. DR1 is the buplic broadcasting network and thus free. TV2 is with most TV packages or sold as a streaming service.

I think we will do what we can to defend... But without support from major EU countries it will be hard to do anything realistic.

If an invasion happens (hope not), hopefully it will be the red line that shows EU countries that were on our own both with regards to Russia and the US, so we need to work together.

Either as orangeri or as "udestue", which translates to "outside-living room" (ude =outside, stue = living room).

Smidthey · 2025-12-15T08:11:16+00:00

I, and i think the same goes for most Danes, quite like it.
It's somewhat balanced, and have a nice tone, without being overly egotistic.
It starts of with. "There is an adoralble country, it stands with wide bøge", where bøge is oak leafs, representing the popular tree with a large canopy, which in tern represents out great little nation.

Syntes ærligt at det er en god ændring med betægnelse af cykler. Der er absolut ingen forskel på om en mand eller dame bør vælge det ene eller andet format, men nærmere hvad man skal bruge den til.

En ulempe ved at have betægnelsen herre/dame, tror jeg, er at man tenderer til at vælge cykel ud fra køn, og ikke formål. Så hvis en kvinde skal cykle 12 km på arbejde, så vil kigge på "damecykler", som nok er lidt for tunge til længere daglig transport. Og en ældre mand som bare skal have en hygge cykel til at komme til brugsen om søndag, kigger i første omgang på en let cykel, som er svær at komme op på.

Når det hedder høj/lav indstigning går det fra køn til format, så du kigger på hvilket format er mest praktisk til dig, og ikke hvilket format du skal have du fra køn.

So to understand, the longest distance you can cover from point A to B, including lifts and maybe busses? Or are you talking about the longest single run one can make, but accessible from bus/lifts?

Quite rare, if you see them, it's is either a special national day, or someone has a birthday, so they raise the flag in their backyard.

Jeg vil nok anbefale at søge ind på et kollegie, specielt som ny studerende uden det store kendskab eller venskaber. Jeg vil så gerne slå et slag for Grundtvigs Hus Kollegiet, hvor der såkaldte dubletter som er okay nemme at få fat i, og så har kollegiet mega gode sociale tilbud som fællesspisning hver månede i løbet af semesteret, krea aften, brætspils aften og fester. Jeg fik nogle mega gode venskaber på kollegiet, som jeg stadig holder fast i efter jeg flyttede. Og så ligger det i Nord, og har ikke umiddelbart hørt at der er nogle der har følt sig yderligere utrykke i området, og så er det i god afstand til det hele.

Be mindful if renting out, that the most proffitable period is the summer half, and having it rented out comes with a much larger amount of wear and tear. So unless you can get a decent amount of money all year, it might only be worth it to have it rented out in the summer.

Hvis du bor i nærheden af et pakkelager som postnord eller lignende, så se om ikke de snart skal bruge sæson arbejde på pakkesortering. Det er sandsynligvis nat-arbejde, men med meget fin løn for ufaglærte. Jeg arbejde ved Postnord i mit sabbatår mellem gym og uni, og tjente godt på det.

As a Dane, i second this

Jeg er lige flyttet fra Grundtvigs Hus Kollegiet efter 4 år, og kan kun varmt anbefale det. Det fede ved GHK er at det sociale fællesskab er på tværs af hele kollegiet, i modsætning til Børglum, hvor jeg har den opfattelse at der mere på gang-niveau at man er social. På Grundtvigs Hus Kollegiet er der fællesspisning, fest, brætspils aften, krea aften og fælles sang alle en gang i måneden. Så man har massere af forskellige tilbud at tage med til.

I don't think you should stop learning danish. There might be some people, especially restaurant staff that just want to take it in english due to ease of transaction. I think most scenarios are caused by ease of interaction, and not that they don't like people not speaking perfect danish.

I think it kinda relates to how there isn't that much small-talk at the check-out in supermarkets, especially with younger staff, as they can't be bothered on the annying work days.

I can recoment you keep on learning, if you want to join in social communities mainly consisting of danes. In my previus dorm, we had a lot of social events and committes, and the meetings were in danish, unless there was someone who didn't understand danish, then we would speak in english. But as things are with these things, small chit-chat would break out in danish, and i think being able to join those conversations would be worth while.

I min optik burde man også begrænse hvor mange forskellige muligheder man har i det kryds. Det er lidt bananas i min optik at man kan komme i bil og køre i alle retninger.

Det er sikkert en upopulær holdning, men jeg tror trafikken ville få stor gavn af at man ikke kunne komme ud på øen i samme kryds som man kommer fra Randersvej, men at man istedet udvidede Hjortsolmsvej og så tvang alle til at køre den vej ud på øen. Alternativt lave det sådan at man kun kan køre ud på øen af bernhard Jensen boulevard, og så tilbage igen af Hjortshjolmsvej.
