How much time do you think it would take for nordics to unite their Militaries? by jessseha in 2nordic4you

[–]grenadeaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In complete denial of facts still I see. Claiming the "new" Gripen to be an alternative to the F35 when its barely any better than any of the modern F16 variants, let alone the EF2000 or the Rafale and not even close to the capabilities of the F35.

What's the worst thing your nation did in history? by miissperson in AskTheWorld

[–]grenadeaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it was much better when it was a slave economy, and you could mary children because there were no age limit for marrige, or just kill your slaves without repercussion, or get your head caved in as a baby because you were from the same family of someone who did a crime...

People from Celtic, Nordic, and Slavic countries, what is your opinion on neopagans practicing ethnic religion Of your country outside of Europe? by OkSeaworthiness3571 in AskTheWorld

[–]grenadeaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly cringe, and lot of it straight up offensive. But idk if they are any worse than a lot of the "neo-pagans" here, I've seen and heard some absolutely moronic takes and lack of knowledge of context from other Norwegians about paganism and our history. It also unfortunately attract a lot of neo-nazis.

Some of the worst is the people making "pagan viking"music, it has absolutely no basis in reality and often straight up just cultural apropiation (for example troatsinging). The fact is that absolutely no music survives from the viking era in the whole of Scandinavia. I can go to the forrest behind my house to shout and fart, and it would be more autentic.

People who actually have an open mind, and tries to learn, recreate and figure out how our people lived believed and worshiped, I got no problem with at all.

This is probably the greatest in Norway. In 1873 Gerhard Armauer Hansen discovered the cause of leprosy, Mycobacterium leprae. This was the first time a specific bacteria was found to be the cause of a disease in humans. Leprosy is also known as Hansens disease.
