In my culture we don't stop drinking beer

We start making alcohol free beer

This is just a small selection of what you can find in my local supermarkets. Only one isn't a Danish brand. I'm going through them because I want to make beer tastings for friends. I have tried some that aren't here and can probably find more. The strongest can is 33cl of 0.5 vol%, which is 0.11 unit. The recommendation is less that 14 units a week, meaning you can drink 127 cans a week.

Link to the video

Here's a bit of a "follow-up" to my post about it being Danish culture to leave your baby outside in their strollers and not worrying about them getting kidnapped.

I can't find the first post I made about it, so I can't attach a link, but I randomly came across this just now and just kinda wanted to show that yes, this is very much a thing and it is just not dangerous in Denmark as it may be in other countries.

And I am forever grateful of that.

so i'm Danish and Portuguese, right? I've known that my whole life. I've grown up around Danish customs because the majority of my family is Danish. so tell me why I didn't know that Denmark is considered both Norse and Nordic??? No website or anything is giving me an answer as to why that is so if you know please tell me because I'm curious now and I can't stop

#also for those of you that don't know yes there is a difference between nordic #norse #and Scandinavian #Danish #denmark #Danish culture #culture #nordic

Five Days in Copenhagen

Photo by Shvets Anna on Pexels.com Many years ago, I had the lucky experience of spending my spring break in Copenhagen while my husband was traveling there on a business trip. Spring break is one of the perks of being a teacher! While he worked, I got a chance to roam the city alone with no particular agenda each day. Looking back, it was once of the most relaxing trips I’ve ever taken. That…

Yesterday we celebrated Queen Daisy’s 83rd birthday with princess cake from Copenhagen Pastry. It was my first time having princess cake and it was delicious.

We also had a sing-a-long of traditional Danish songs with Danish composer and pianist Rasmus Skov Borring. He also played a song called “Skybrud” (text by Dy Plambeck, 2018, melody by Marianne Søgaard, 2018), which was very touching; it was about how all of our loved ones who have passed on from this human life, are still everywhere around us.

Rasmus had said, “In Denmark, they think of fellowship in a way of growing”. We don’t have to have the same mindset or agree with the song; as long as we are open and willing to give our voice to sing, that is enough.

I love how the Danish people truly care about one another, and see every other person as an equal. There’s a lot to learn from the Danish culture. ❤️

so, Skipper. speaks English. We've seen him use Spanish because he "spent 8 years in the jungles of Mexico", wiki says he swore in Korean (this is the only one im unsure about), he probably knows Danish too-- having spent enough time there to get banned lmfao, also used Japanese words here and there (plus he once found himself in a hotel in Kyoto) so. We love a multilingual king

#someone help me out #the only time i remember him swearing is in Herring Impaired? and it was not audible? so idk #wiki also says German but i have no clue where that came from #the only speculation here is Danish and thats bc he is v familiar w the Danish people and their culture & also spent a long time there #with Hans #if we're stretching- hell i could even bet on Polish. because of Kowalski.#its such a cool idea that hed pick up sm languages bc of his international missions #i love him #the penguins of madagascar #tpom

Tiny Bronze Portrait of Alexander the Great Found in Denmark

The miniature bronze portrait depicts Alexander the Great with his wavy hair and crown of ram horns.

Metal detectorists have unearthed a miniature bronze portrait of Alexander the Great on an island in Denmark.

Finn Ibsen and Lars Danielsen made the discovery while conducting survey work in a field outside Ringsted, a city on the Danish island of Zealand, and surrendered the artifacts to Museum West Zealand, Danish news outlet TV2 Øst reported.

The bronze fitting, known as a bracket, measures approximately 1 inch (2.7 centimeters) in diameter, is cast of bronze alloy and includes an engraved portrait of a wavy-haired man wearing a crown of twisted ram horns, according to a statement from Museum West Zealand.

Based on the imagery, archaeologists immediately knew they were looking at the face of Alexander the Great, the legendary leader of the ancient kingdom of Macedon whose empire stretched from the Balkans to modern-day Pakistan by the time he died at age 32.

The piece "has the typical attributes of Alexander the Great, such as his distinct, wavy hair and ram horns," Freerk Oldenburger, an archaeologist at Museum West Zealand. "The image is almost identical to another bracket portrait found years ago that contains the same stylized image."

That piece, also a metal bracket, was found by a different group of archaeologists in Jutland, Denmark. It was hidden among a stockpile of weapons and likely served as an "ornament worn on a silver shield mount — it was a way to show off," Oldenburger said.

"It's quite a remarkable piece," Oldenburger said. "When it showed up on my desk, I nearly fell out of my chair because it's almost the exact same portrait as the other, but this one is a little more coarse and is made of cast bronze and not gilded silver. The bronze alloy also contains a high lead content and was made using an alloy often found in [Roman] bronze statuettes. It's possible that a statuette was melted down to make this portrait."

While researchers remain unsure of the piece's function, they know that the fitting dates to around A.D. 200 and could have been worn as a "decorative disc for a shield" or as a bracket affixed to a sword belt, according to the statement.

A portrait of Caracalla, a Roman emperor who often emulated Alexander the Great. He is depicted with a shield containing a portrait of Alexander the Great.

"This was around the same time as Caracalla," a Roman emperor who reigned from A.D. 198 to 217, Oldenburger said. "We know that he was completely obsessed with Alexander the Great and was interested and inspired by him, since he was the greatest conqueror of that time period," he added.

In fact, Caracalla was so enamored of the Greek ruler that he often "dressed with the same style and believed he was Alexander the Great reincarnated," he said. "Caracalla is also the only emperor of his time to be depicted with a shield containing a portrait of Alexander the Great."

person with terrifying political views: [insane fash shit], but not in like, a fash way yk?

sane person: sounds fashy!

person with terrifying political views: what a bizarre misreading, I specifically clarified I didn’t mean it that way. pretty embarrassing for you, looks like someone needs to learn reading comprehension before they can talk politics at the grownup table!

Like, remember in 2006 when sam Harris said explicitly that the “people who speak most sensibly about the threat that Islam poses to Europe are actually fascists,” and thereafter when ppl objected he abd his fanbase would patronisingly explain that he said this was bad so it didn’t make his immigration politics fascist (his choice of word!!)? Many such cases

#now ofc he can soothe his conscience pointing to the Danish social Democrats!#god he was such a fucking cretin #still is presumably but the culture has mercifully passed on

Join us as we journey through the rich history, architectural grandeur, and cultural significance of this iconic fortress that has captured the imagination of visitors for centuries.

In 2000, Kronborg Castle was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, recognizing its exceptional universal value and cultural significance. This prestigious designation honors the castle's unique blend of architectural excellence, historical importance, and artistic influence, ensuring its preservation for future generations to admire and explore.

Perched on the northeastern tip of the island of Zealand, Kronborg Castle stands as a symbol of Denmark's rich cultural heritage and maritime power. With its imposing ramparts, elegant spires, and strategic location overlooking the Øresund Strait, this magnificent Renaissance fortress has played a central role in Danish history since its construction in the early 15th century.

Kronborg Castle's fame extends far beyond Denmark's borders, thanks in part to its association with William Shakespeare's renowned tragedy, Hamlet. Inspired by the castle's atmospheric setting, Shakespeare immortalized Kronborg as the fictional Elsinore, forever linking the fortress to one of the greatest literary works in history.

As you step through the gates of Kronborg Castle, you'll be transported back in time to an era of kings, queens, and courtly intrigue. Marvel at the castle's impressive Renaissance architecture, from its towering turrets and fortified walls to its opulent chambers and ornate ballrooms, each telling a tale of Denmark's royal past.

Throughout its history, Kronborg Castle served as a formidable fortress, protecting the kingdom of Denmark from foreign invaders and asserting its dominance over the strategic Øresund Strait. From its commanding position overlooking the sea, the castle played a vital role in controlling maritime trade and safeguarding Danish sovereignty.

Today, Kronborg Castle continues to enchant visitors with its rich tapestry of cultural events and festivals. From theatrical performances of Hamlet in the castle's atmospheric courtyard to vibrant medieval markets and music concerts, there's always something exciting happening within the castle's storied walls, offering a glimpse into Denmark's vibrant cultural scene.

Beyond its historic interiors, Kronborg Castle invites you to explore its sprawling grounds and scenic surroundings. Take a leisurely stroll along the castle ramparts for panoramic views of the Øresund Strait, wander through the castle's lush gardens and courtyards, or venture into the underground casemates and dungeons for a spine-tingling experience.

So come, dear travelers, and immerse yourself in the history, beauty, and intrigue of Kronborg Castle. Whether you're admiring its architectural splendor, delving into its royal past, or simply enjoying the breathtaking views of the Danish coast, you're sure to be captivated by the timeless charm and UNESCO World Heritage status of this iconic Danish landmark. 🏰🇩🇰

you know what? there’s something about the comment “i think we should all forget nationalities” on a post about not letting the world become an american monoculture that didn’t sit right with me.

#like im just thinking about all the languages lost ngl #i get the whole treating everyone equally and not being racist ideal and by one culture no one is inherently superior #but on a post like that where people are posting their experiences with loosing touch with their culture/language/who they are bc america #it felt wrong #like on the same post we have dutch/danish people talking about how their language is stereotyped as ugly and finding it pretty again #filipinos talking about being forced to speak english because its seen as educated #children who know little of their countries and culture bc of the Internet #anglophones not knowing how things work in their country bc usa #and it just missed the point #americanisation

a new introduction post

hi, my name’s alice (they/them). i see you’ve stumbled across my tumblr.

im a young bisexual adult with adhd who enjoys music, chaos, and fantasy. my mom says i should consider going to school for anthropology because im like temperance from bones (but with culture and history as opposed to forensics...though i do like collecting bones). im learning norwegian and intend to learn danish, swedish, and icelandic. i also enjoy learning about scandinavian history and culture. my favorite podcasts are distractible and welcome to night vale. my hobbies include noodling around on my guitar, crochet, writing, urban and rural adventure, making collages, and looking for pirate radio stations. i got ordained for shits and giggles and my favorite anime is attack on titan. im also completely obsessed with the hobbit. i practice witchcraft and will probably never start a friendship with “hi”.

in terms of my personality? imagine if amazing phil, danisnotonfire, kesha, and echo gillette had a love child (chaotic, gay, and a slut in theory but not in practice).

anyway, how about we figure out how to human together?

In Denmark we have a day called J day which is held early November. It celebrates the annual release of our special Christmas beer and that Christmas is arriving soon, so we of course get completely hammered from Christmas beer because that's the most Danish way to celebrate anything.

This is also the ad that runs through all of December and was first released in the 1980s:

youtube

The text by the end is a pun in regards to Tuborg, a beer brand in Denmark. Translated to English it's: "Merry Christmas and a happy Tubyear" (it's a better pun in Danish I swear lolol)
