Danish is a horrible language please dont do that. You have 4 nordic languages to pic from and you not only pick the worst one but also the one thats probably one of the worst languages of all time. Lotr and star trek trying to create the most disgusting sounding languages failed because danish was already a thing. Danish is so revolting that you start vomitting from it when you hear it and danish people think youre just replying to them.

Accurate though. Danish sounds legit like super drunk Swedish at a distance, and uncanny valley up close to anyone speaking Swedish or Norwegian or German.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have a friend who is Swedish but worked in both Sweden and Denmark for his job and I asked him if he could talk to them in Swedish and them to him in Danish and if they could understand each other and he told me mostly, but they just did it in English.

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

It's not impossible to understand Danish as a Swede but it's different enough in terms of sounds, grammar, maths, etc. that it's indeed like an uncanny valley. It's close enough at first glance, but then gets really alien when you start to pay attention to it. It's like catching snippets of a conversation in otherwise white noise.

I have worked in Denmark too, and share your friend's experience - both sides default to English.

There are way more than 4 Nordic languages to pick from. Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Faroese, Icelandic, Greenlandic, Sami. Still Danish is of course the worst one.

The US could never win from Denmark. Every tank or plane they destroy, Denmark just rebuilds as they are made from Lego.

Honestly, I have 15 years of naval experience, the Danish are one of the best trained and most modern navies I've ever seen or worked with (together with Germany and Norway) while the Americans nearly shot down their own helicopter by mistake, MULTIPLE TIMES, if it wasn't for an allied unit to intervene at the last moment like:

"This is US warship, hostile contact incoming, final warning read, opening fire."

"This is NL warship, hold your fire! wtf guys, did we miss an exercise or something? Are you aware you're about to open fire on your own helo right now?"

"This is US warship, hostile contact now friendly, out."

I've never seen a more incompetent navy out there, and I've worked with Italian, French and Peruvian navies too so that says a lot.

They may look impressive, with all their tech and carriers, but remember: They fought a 20 year war in Afghanistan against illiterate nomads with 60 year old kalashnikovs who live in caves, and they lost.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

That said, Afghan peoples have successfully fought off a lot of superior forces over the centuries. Most recently before the U.S., the Soviets.

Afghanistan is just not a great place for a military to root out a guerilla force. Those caves you're talking about are a big reason. The people who know the land have used that knowledge to their advantage for millennia and it's not something modern technology can really win against unless you're talking dropping a nuke on them.

Hey now. The US also lost a war against jungle villagers, and then later started losing wars against inanimate objects like drugs.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

At least it's not as bad as Australia. They lost wars against emu's, beatles, toads, rabbits and mice. Source This is so funny xD

Nobody wins a Lego war. You think that unexploded munitions left behind from conventional wars are bad, imagine condemning generations to come to live in a world where you could step on a stray Lego brick at any time.

As a Dane that sounds like paradise

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

In order to understand American military doctrine you need to understand a few things. First we're an engineering power masquerading as a military and cultural one. Second we had three major advantages in the world wars: we came in late to both, our civilians and manufacturing capacity were on the other side of the world, and we had more experience with an industrial war than anyone else thanks to our civil war. And third, we know we're insane and so does everyone else, sometimes that means we surprise Hitler, other times it means we accidentally shell Mexico.

And yeah the guy who shelled Mexico? L. Ron Hubbard, founder of scientology back when he was in the navy.

I'm not even a little surprised Danes had to stop us from shooting our own helicopters.

Americans think they are insane, the rest knows they are dumb.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I'm pretty sure we're both. I don't see another explanation for our current firearm situation

...and nothing in Minnesota changed.

America is now called Greater Vinland.

You know, Lincoln really pushed that whole "a house divided cannot stand" thing, but what is the actual reason that this particular geographic area has to be organized under one big government like this? Politically speaking, I don't want anything to do with the vast majority of you. My state being ruled from Washington D.C., might as well be ruled from London like it was originally, there's no political autonomy and rampant tyranny.

if Denmark did take over like this, we'd probably just see the scum rise to the top all over again. We never really seem to address the systemic issues that cause that to happen.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

That would actually solve several of my problems and I wouldn't even have to learn a new language

Hey Danes, if murica ever invades, just teach your farmers guerilla tactics. It's like a cheat code against them.

Selling Pølser in Ny København, producing Olsenbanden in Englene, playing handball in Vindensby.

Lars Ulrich renames Nashville to Musikby. Burning Man is replaced by Roskilde Vest.

Forget Budlight, you'll only get Tuborg or Carlsberg.

I am looking forward to the day when HM Queen Margrethe II officially decrees Solvang to be the new capital of the new semi-autonomous Danish territory.

In place of a Dark Lord, you would have a Tasmanian queen!

Not dark but beautiful, and terrible as the dawn!

Treacherous as the sea!

Stronger than the foundations of the earth!

All shall love me and despair!

Good cause, but boo AI image

That would literally put the Vinlanders in their place.
