You know that guy smells like stale sweat and cigarettes and she smells like monster and damp towel

When I met my now-wife, she worked at Five Guys. Every workday she'd come home smelling like burgers and ketchup. I have a pretty limited sense of smell, so I enjoy most (but not universally all) things I can smell. That these were the smell of food I enjoyed also helped. I kinda miss those times, though she's much happier no longer working that job.

I don't know how I smelled. Hopefully not unpleasant.

That smell when you leave the cloths in the wash too long. Mildew ass white people

Honestly when you live in a frozen wasteland, survival is metal.

Guy in Ohio who thinks his ancestors living in a frozen wasteland makes him superior, not so much.

Clearly the difference is the piss shark diet. We should pitch it on Rogan.

It sucks that I am Scandinavian by both blood and name, but I feel ashamed to show anything of it. Because it would lump me in with these fuckheads, or worse, the nazi fucks.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago

you know there are more scandinavian stereotypes than neonazis with rune tattoos, right? The swedish chef is right there, not to mention the "swedes are gay" stereotype.

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

As a metalhead, I admire Sweden and Norway, so, your shame surprises me. I certainly don't think of neo-nazis when I think of those countries.

[–] circuit23@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Also as a metalhead... Did you forget about all the neo Nazi metal bands from Sweden and Norway?

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

Of course not. But...

  1. That doesn't take away from the genius of the non-nazi artists from that region. And there's plenty.

  2. I don't feel like that region stands out in neo-nazism and anything far right. Like, I would say, Finland has a particular problem? And slavic countries. France too. But in any case, when I find a black metal band I like, I always check if they're sketch or not, no matter the country. All countries have sketchy black metal artists.

So... that leaves an aura of prestige around Sweden and Norway for me. And I certainly don't associate them overall with neo-nazism.

The point of the meme got pushed out of my brain by the questions about why they took it so far that the modern goober gets a full-on big tiddy goth girl for his baby mama.

[–] diablomnky666@lemmy.wtf 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Ah yes, "ve ver vikings" or "We wuz kangs" for white trash and neo-nazis.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago

also real vikings: "hey Willy Dickson, write any good stories lately?"
"Why yes Jarnskeggi Thorleiksson The Girthier, i went to Angle Land and got some great inspiration for a tale about bald people brewing beer!"
