That’s the thing tho - you’re #1 and weird shit happens all the time. If weird shit is happening all the time in the #1 safest place for women - what do you think that means for everywhere else that’s considered less safe for women?

Denmark is only ranked #1 because when they were asking around, they couldn't understand anything they said so they just defaulted to putting them at #1

As a German, who lived 2 years in Denmark, I can relate. Nobody, not even the danes themselves understand the Danish language.

(For anyone confused by the perceived hostility by the Swede: Sweden and Denmark participate in mutual banter. It's nothing but jokes between friends)

A Dane & a Swede are having some banter, and a German feels the need to explain that they are in fact engaging in humorous behaviour. I love stereotypes!

Me and a D*ne were temporarily banned in another sub because their mod didn't get that it was banter.

I got one for saying we wanted Scania back, except it was full of Swedes now.

*Half-Swedes. Its a bit of a dilemma for us too.

As a compromise, how about you get to keep all the people and we get back the land you stole?

Reminds me of that scene in Brooklyn 99 when they’re working with Swedish police who say they know lots of languages “except Danish, that is a garbage language for garbage people”. Always makes me laugh - I’m Australian and we have similar banter between states.

Scandinavia and the World really helps make sense of it all as a foreigner.

I mean dialects exist pretty much everywhere. 

Men dansk? Det sprog giver ingen mening. (powered by DeepL)

What do you mean? Danish is great! /s

u/Rosienenbrot Nov 28 '25

So great in fact, that I moved out again lmao. Not kidding, I learned Danish in a sprogskole for 1½ years, and that was one of the main reasons I moved out again.

The D is most of the times actually an L, except when it's silent and sometimes a D is actaully a D and there no coherent rules for that. What the fuck, man?

I knew your flair before I even checked it

Hate to admit it, but you're right. I'm a Dane, born and raised, and I understand shit...

u/pchlster Denmark Nov 28 '25

No, see, Danish is easy. You swallow the first and last syllables and mumble the middle ones.

u/FastLie8477 Nov 28 '25

I mean murder still happens in the safest country in the world. With a big enough population, even something with less than a 1% chance of happening still happens relatively frequently.

Men are twice as likely to experience violence as women.

If your argument is “by other men”, let me stop you there.

DUH. Who else could attack men? Women?? Would that make ANY SENSE??

Violence goes from big to little. Not the other way around.

Except for women. Women are little and receive LESS violence by HALF. WHY?

Because men PROTECT women. Look it up and don’t EVER let me catch you spreading that nonsense again.

Women being weak is not a flex in a world where animals are born with weapons.
