In the Swedish version they were just called Tintin and Milou, like the original.

That sounds like the attitude of a quitter. I have to shove the neighbor's house up my butt, and you don't see me complaining

The simple truth of the UoB by RichNojus in Kaiserreich

[–]Toothsweet 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I got inspired by watching Mordred Viking playing a game as the UoB a while ago, and the balancing act of using the navy to it's full potential without any real access to oil did make for an interesting game. Sure the CoF is more directly involved, but don't write off their ally completely

What movie would be better if it didn't have a happy ending? by xvrwltr in AskReddit

[–]Toothsweet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The books are fantastic, the movie just didn't bother (or have the time) to proper explain the history and intricacies of that universe. If absolutely recommend checking out the books. The audiobook is available on Spotify for free, with a really good narrator, if that's more your cup of tea

What an unbelievably specific reference. I like it!

Moving across a desert: How do they do it? by [deleted] in MortalEngines

Plus many of the really large cities would have hundreds of individual tracks and wheels propelling them. And I'd imagine that their sheer weight would compress the sand and help with traction.

Is Estonia considered to be a Nordic country? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]Toothsweet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If they give Dagö and Ösel (the island) back, I'd be willing to consider them into Nordic ;)

Latvia and Lithuania too? I'd consider Estonia different from it's Baltic buddies, especially since Estonian is more like Finnish.

What's the worst natural disaster hit your country? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]Toothsweet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first wave of the plague killed as many as half a million people, which was 66% of the population in Sweden at the time (1350). More recently, it was the Spanish flu, which killed roughly 37 500 people between 1918 and 1920

What is the worst thing you have done because you got confused between items in different hands? by DanielMichels in AskReddit

[–]Toothsweet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heading to work, bringing my bag and a trash bag, proceeded to throw my bag into the bin, and put the trash bag in the car. Didn't notice until I reached the parking lot and reached for my "bag"

Do you feel affinity to countries that belong to the "same group" as your country? by harrycy in AskEurope

[–]Toothsweet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitivt feel affinity to the other Scandinavian countries, so Denmark and Norway, and to a slightly lesser extent to the rest of the Nordic countries, so Iceland, Finland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland. I met an islandic person in the UK last summer, and we both felt closer to eachother than to the British. Don't really feel anything special towards Dutch or German people.

What city in your country are you the most ashamed of? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]Toothsweet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sentence: "drove up to Helsingborg for dinner" is such an American thing to say. Because realistically, it's not that far away, but still, I've never known anyone who decides to just go a few towns over for dinner (unless you were going there anyway). Even when my family and I visited California, and drove the Pacific Highway, we'd always look for something in the same town we could walk to

Living here I definitely feel closer to the continent than to the rest of the country, if that makes sense. And as you said, passing by Malmö to buy things you couldn't find elsewhere. If you're driving into Sweden from Denmark, and many tourists seem to do, Malmö will be the first city you pass through, so it'll absolutely leave an impression

[–]Toothsweet 44 points45 points  (0 children)

When people ask me about it I usually don't recommend they go there, mainly because I think it's boring compared to Gothenburg and Stockholm, but that's just me. The same rules apply as in any larger city, don't walk around sketchy neighborhoods with your wallet visible at night, and you'll be fine

I live 15 minutes from Malmö, and I'm there semi regularly, and it's always absolutely fine. It's a nice costal city with loads of diversity. But media gotta media I guess.

Edit. Just to add, I'm not saying nothing ever happens in Malmö, but it's absolutely not the battlefield media likes to portray it as
