Sure, I guess we don’t need writers, painters, visual artists, musicians and filmmakers. I mean, what do they do really, enrich our culture and move our souls? Pff, AI can do that easily.

If they’re decreasing their production, it could mean that physical media is ending. If so, that fucking sucks because you can’t own anything anymore
Sony owns the blu-ray format. I’m worried.

Idk, I feel like Lemmy has way more dank memes than Reddit. Also more boomer memes.
“Band” in this context means united. “Bandalag” means the same as “förbund” in Swedish, so yes you’re basically correct.
It’s actually “Bandaríska borgarastríðið”. “Bandaríkin” is our word for the United States, “borgari” means citizen and “stríð” means war. So yes our word for civil war literally translates to “citizens’ war” since all the participants are citizens of the same nation. Hälsningar från en Isländing i Norge
I’m Icelandic and I just learned about this now! To be fair I learned fuck all about pre-20th century US history in school and I’ve basically just puzzled it together through movies and references online.

Those “elf houses” is actually a more recent thing we do for tourists. But according to folk belief, the elves live inside certain rocks and cliffs. Some road constructions have been derailed because an elf rock was in the way and the people were having none of that.
This is just the Euro NCAP guidelines, not actual EU regulation, but still a positive development.
And I agree that the EU have been on an amazing streak lately, they seem to be the only governing body actually fighting for consumer rights.
Then how do you suggest we keep in touch with those older people in our lives who think other social media are scary?
Icelandic folklore doesn’t have fairies, we have elves.
Also there’s some very disturbing Icelandic cryptids, like Jólakötturinn, a giant cat that eats children on Christmas, and Nykur, a backward-hoofed horse that hypnotizes you to ride it and then it walks you into the sea.
And who is more likely to value historical artefacts than the culture they originated from? Truth is, the British have frequently lost or damaged priceless artefacts, and thousands of them are locked away in vaults where no one can enjoy them. How is that better than simply giving them back?
Allow me to introduce you to Smash! They’re basically chocolate covered Bugles and they’re amazing. Very popular in Scandinavia.
Definitely skipping that update then. Thanks for the warning
These are all the questions my girlfriend asks me all the time and I give her the deer-in-the-headlights look.
