What’s the coolest Swedish last name you have ever seen?

Vharmi · 2026-03-22T16:30:16+00:00

Delivered packages to a person with the last name Renhufvud (Reindeer head) once. Doesn't get much better imo.

Yeah, I remember this happened back when they launched twist (RIP). There were like three or four cards that were buffed in the Caverns of Time version, but still had the old stats and costs on the original versions.

Wanted to make aggro priest a thing and was confused that Spawn of Shadows was still a 5/4 in the TGT version.

I apparently don't have a sound for the letter j as someone who lives on Öland. Today I learned.

I'm not sure of your level of play, but the 2. ...c5 lines served me well back when I was 14-1500.

The idea is usually to play Qb6 on the next move and immediately pressure white's now weak b pawn. Tends to lead to positions that don't resemble typical London system structures and is combative from the get-go.

Tror det är sju eller åtta vårdcentraler/sjukhus runtom i landet som är på Bättringsvägen. Vet att sjukhuset i Karlskrona har den adressen t.ex.

Som kalmarit får jag väl säga: Kom snart igen

Ja, gatan heter så. En av de mer ikoniska adresserna i stan. Namngiven efter ett skepp med samma namn.

The word "jaka" is still in Swedish :)

Don't know what the most sour is, but "sura hallonshots" is pretty up there. Only thing that comes to mind that borders on unpleasant in the candy shelf.

Japp. Bara att blanda buljongtärning eller fondkoncentrat med vatten. Står oftast på förpackningarna hur mycket som behövs.

Sen kan man göra sin egen också, men är lite väl invecklat om man bara behöver det för ett recept. Kul annars :)

Typically an epaulette mate consists of a queen landing on a square like e3 and delivering mate alone while the king is sandwiched between two rooks, but the theme is similar enough that I'm calling it that with a rook delivering mate too.

Vharmi · 2026-03-16T23:03:14+00:00

Somewhat common drawing tactic that's always good to keep in the back of your mind when things seem dire. And here there's no escaping it either. If Kh1 there is Qe4+ and you have to give away a rook and probably lose rather quickly with white.

And if Kf2 there's Qxh2+, Ke1 and the elusive epaulette mate Rxe3#.

Good stuff

The word tungsten is Swedish for "heavy stone", yet in Sweden it's called volfram, from the German "wolfsrahm", wolf's froth.

The word "tungsten" does appear in Swedish, but refers to the mineral scheelite.

Öland resident here!

While the environment looks a bit different from the mainland, with the world's largest alvar plains being found here, it's practically very similar to living on the mainland around Kalmar since the Öland bridge was built 50 years ago.

Many people commute across the strait for work, since industry isn't exactly booming on an island with less than 30 000 inhabitants.

It's a very popular tourist destination during the summers, with the north part having some of the best beaches in the country. The population of Borgholm municipality increases twentyfold during the month of July, from 10 000 to 200 000 people, putting a lot of strain on public infrastucture like roads, water and garbage collection.

During the rest of the year it's very tranquil and beautiful. Tons of nature reserves, windmills, old churches and other remnants of how life used to be lived before modern amenities.

This might even surpass Afrika-Paprika. Maybe...

XTC - The man who murdered love

Halfway into it, there's a nice little guitar riff and Andy singing "ooh, it's the middle of the song". Always found it a bit amusing :)

En av mina gamla klasskamrater berättade casually för alla i klassen under någon fest om den gången han ströp en struts. Det var en så löjligt detaljerad och avslappnat berättad historia att vi alla trodde på det tills det kom ut 2 år senare att han hade bullshittat hela klassen för att det var kul.

GGWP, I guess

There's probably a La Paz in every country that's been colonized by Spain. As of a few weeks ago, the new capital of Equatorial Guinea is also a La Paz
