ø isn’t a Swedish letter.
Are you telling me that the Monty Python and the Holy Grail Swedish subtitles lied to me??

That’s, like, your opinion, man.

IKEA VINGKLIPPT
Vingklippt is good :). Maybe also… ANDRUM or SKAMVRÅ?
ANDRUM sounds like it exists. I love SKAMVRÅ.
Who removed the dead bodies of the poor souls tasked with putting the bags on the murder birds?
It never stops being weird that people think the IKEA names are just basically swedish chef speak (which doesn’t sound like swedish at all).
HONKHALT MYFUCKINSIDES XD
why make angrier version of gooses more angry.
Now you’ve just made them angry.
Anyone know why they’re being restrained? Maybe relocated?
A lot of animal/wildlife rescuers will use the swan straightjackets to keep both themselves and the swans (but mostly themselves) safe during rescue efforts. I remember the Wildlife Aid channel on YouTube had some videos with swan rescues where they explained that adolescent male swans leaving to find their own territories often ended up landing in suburban areas by accident (saw someone’s pool, or a reflective surface that looked like water) and had to be captured and relocated because they got too confused and disoriented to leave, etc. Since swans have breeding seasons, you can end up with a busy season where a bunch of swans need rescued in the space of a month or so. I expect something like that probably is the backstory here.
They’re angry. That’s all the information provided to us. Angry swans.
For the safety of themselves and society at large.
Don’t try this at home; a swan could easily break a grown man’s arm. Or at least his glasses.
I’ve never had my arm broken by my glasses.
Mine don’t have the spring-loaded flippy-outy bit, though.
No fucking way, for real? Like not gona lie, giving me mad urges to go fuck around and find out.
If he can reach them, sure.
When I was seven, I broke my arm. For reasons I still don’t understand, it looked like a normal arm with a lower case “u” in the middle of it. My doctor referred to it as a “swan neck” break. (He also called me a cry baby, which I don’t think was fair.)
No actual swan was involved, but your sentiment often makes me think of that.
Fågelbehållare i guess? Idk my swedish isnt very good and i just use behållare usually cause its a very general word. Also people outside the nordics love å so its a win to use it in an ikea meme. Väska could also work for more variety? Fågelväska
As somewhat of a polyglot, it just occurred to me that swedish is a language I’ve never once considered as a language I know absolutely nothing about nor have ever considered studying.
Ehh its not that interesting grammar wise. Just check the phonology, you will be slightly horrified but other than that its a very generic isolating northern germanic language. Huge amounts of vocab from proto-germanic(duh), english and french. The grammar is basically a remix of english. I still think its good to learn if you live in sweden which is kinda hard nowadays actually cause even swedish youth thinks theyre better off with english which is kinda sad.
I’m Norwegian, so basically the same both language and cultural wise. I know several foreigners that has had a hard time learning our language since we will jump over to fluent English after the smallest sign of struggle. When I was a kid I loved speaking to foreigners just so I could practice my English. Never occurred to me that maybe they needed to practice Norwegian more.
What’s the deal with swans? I’ve heard of angry geese, I’ve even known a few people who received injuries from one, but not swans.
My understanding is that swans are basically just geese with good PR.
Survivor bias. Those attacked by swans don’t live to tell the tale.
They’re basically much bigger geese
Take a stroll near a nesting swan and let me know how it goes for you…they may be pretty, but they are extremely defensive birds
Fucking dinosaurs
So was my rooster but he was cool. Granted, they can be awful.

Honkhalt sounds like merch you could buy at Honkbal Hoofdklasse.
IF you need a name for your metal band, Ikea is full of them
