  • Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?

  • I hear more news from the US than my own country. Granted, my own country's politics are people respectfully discussing policy matters while US politics is like a circus and a pro wrestling league combined, with unimaginably high stakes.

  • It's the same as his approach to Covid. If we stop testing, we don't know how many cases there are and can therefore pretend it doesn't exist anymore

  • They haven't even considered that maybe 50% of the US population doesn't vote because they feel like neither party has their interests at heart!If they swung further left and got an actually progressive candidate who wants to fix the problems in this fucking country, I'm willing to bet everything that they'd win.Hell, what got Obama in office was precisely the fact that he campaigned on hope and progressive ideals! He didn't end up sticking to those ideals though, but that's another story.

  • There's already an American Song Contest, and no one has heard about it or cares about it.

  • I haven't watched it the last few years because I can't stomach the idea that a genocidal state is allowed to compete :/ I love Eurovision but the EBU has made all the wrong decisions. They were even going to let Russia compete in 2022 after the invasion of Ukraine, until public outrage forced their hand. They claim the competition is neutral but guess what? Allowing Israel, a country actively committing genocide who isn't even a part of fucking Europe is a political statement whether you like it or not

  • Eurovision is huge in Australia. People get up in the middle of the night to watch it. So in 2016, the contest's 60th anniversary, they allowed Australia to compete for funsies.Everyone agreed they understand Eurovision perfectly so they were allowed to stay.

  • I looked it up. I struggle to live not as well as a Norwegian prisoner.

  • The Norwegian prison system emphasizes rehabilitation over punishment. Norwegian prisons are generally decent places. Turns out that treating prisoners like human beings makes them much less likely to reoffend and go back to prison.

  • It's insane how expensive fish is in Iceland. Yay fishing monopoly!

  • It's important to mention that the vast majority of pizza eaten in Norway is frozen pizza. Grandiosa is the most popular brand and it costs about as much as a restaurant pizza anywhere else

  • Polar bears

    Jump

  • Yup they're dangerous as fuck. My mom (kindergarten director) once visited a kindergarten in Svalbard, Norway where there's a rifle hanging on the wall above where the kids get dressed.The idea being that if a polar bear wanders towards the village, it's essential to be able to fight it off and protect the children.

  • Polar bears will absolutely try to hunt you. They'll eat anything that moves. The only way to deal with a polar bear is a gun.

  • In addition, when reheating liquidy food, you should try using a lower power level for a longer period of time. This tends to heat it more evenly.

  • You better say "Thank You"!

    Jump

  • That's because a) the EU is a coalition of many different countries who all have their own flags, and b) we don't fetishize our flags nearly as much as Americans. Many countries have laws against putting the flag on merchandise, because it's seen as disrespectful.

  • As an Icelander, I just know if Trump gets Greenland he won't stop there. He'll try to take Iceland too. I'm scared.
