There was a vote in a Danish newspaper a few years ago about what to call us.
I think "Fjellaber" won. Mountain monkeys for the rest of you.

We did a separate vote in a Norwegian newspaper shortly after. The answer "Being danish is embarrassing enough" won by a landslide.

Just a little fun fact to brighten up everyone but @BigDanishGuy's weekend!

That's "fjeldaber" with a silent "d" because of... Well I don't know why, it's fancier with silent letters, sorta like French.

TBH Norwegian pronounciation is a bit simpler, do you even have silent letters? Kinda sounds like a west Jutlandian drunk.

One thing that bothers me though, is how you decline your nouns. What I mean is the phrase "Den bilen" is silly. The noun is "bil", if we're specific we go "bilen" were the English would go "the car", we can all agree on that. But "that car"? Why do you need both a "den" and a "-en"? "-en" is a pleonasm, we already know it's that car and not those cars, you don't need to tell me that were only discussing a single car...

And don't get me started on the word "slike", having had to read Sentralnervesystemet by Per Brodal made me really confused, I mean why did he mention candy all the time in an anatomy text book?

Yeah lots of silent letters.
My name even has one.

For your question regarding the use of "den bilen": we use do it to confuse the Swedes. As you probably know, they are not the brightest bunch. I'm glad we caught a Dane too.

I can't shit on Norwegians today, not on July 22nd. Truth be told, we wept with you.

But going after the Swedes though, that's fair game. Had Sweden been a member when the poster was made I'd bet it'd say "unpretentious as a Swede".

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
