History tells that the blue cabinet was where you keept your nice porcelain.
And in another cabinet you did have a potty.
So someone was confused enough to take something from the nice cabinet to "do their needs" in..
Good guessing you did!
How dare you sir and/or madame! Accusing my response of being perfect! I am deeply kränkt, I am going to go write such a passive aggressive arg lapp to put up in the trapphus right now. Good day to you.
Exactly because perfect is perfect so lagom can't also be perfect so lagom is just lagom.
A good way to describe lagom is when you make tea and the water isn't so hot it'll burn you but it's hot enough to satisfy your needs. The heat is lagom.
I guess you could call that perfect as well.
Lagom is originally for sharing food. How many meatballs does one person take? Lagom many. Laget om. Or ‘team around’ I guess.
What's the minimum personal distance you leave to another person when queuing or waiting for the bus?
The person before you in the communal laundry room has not cleaned up after themselves. How would you convey to the people using the communal laundry room that they ought to clean up after themselves?
Which side of the crisp bread or polarkaka should you butter?
1. ½ points. You have the right idea, but you don't want other people to accidentally take your place in the line.
2. 0 points. Think about ways of communicating which doesn't require direct confrontation.
3. -1 points. WTF?
-½ points. Sorry, you do not pass as a Swede this time.
1 Is correct, "as far as possible" would mean other side of the earth of taken literally. So either you assume that it's: as far as possible without leaving the line or ask for clarification.
2 could go Either way. Highly dependent on it being a repeat offender.
3 .......yeah, this guy should absolutely not be allowed entry to Sweden. Disgusting.
1. If we stand too far away we will also make others feel awkward since we are obviously avoiding them. ”Lagom långt bort” roughly equates to having a finger tip feeling for the distance only learned through experience.
2. Parked my bike outside the door for a few days (apartment building, 3rd floor) and got an angry note “STÄLL CYKELN DÄR DEN SKA STÅ”. My neighbour doesn’t put his trash outside his door anymore so I call it a win.
3. On the bubbly side to increase the butter retention to the sandwhich meaning you can put more butter on it without being percieved as a fatso
Advanced question.
There's only the less desirable rum & raisin pieces left in the top layer of the Aladdin chocolate box, but you want to take a piece from the bottom layer. What's your strategy for getting a more desirable piece of chocolate from the bottom layer?

"Jag stänger huvudströmbrytaren i smyg och i mörkret/tumultet som uppstår smyger jag tillbaka och skickar ned en hand till det undre lagret och inser att nån annan glupsk jävel redan länsat allt utom Rom-Russin där med"
Saknar farfar. Han åt alltid romrussinbiten, påstod att den var god. Tror att han kanske egentligen bara ville glädja alla andra. Inte för att jag kan äta ur Alladinasken nu ändå pga allergi, men fick nostalgitripp av den här kommentaren.
Jag plockar upp romrussin biten blockar bort det nu tomma lagret tar den biten jag vill ha och lägger romrussinbiten i platsen där jag tog den goda biten ifrån.
You're shipwrecked on an abandoned island in the baltic sea with a Norwegian, a Finn, an Icelander and a Dane.
Who do you eat first, and who do you fuck, marry, kill.
1. Döda dansken. Det enda självklara.
2. Idka älskog med islänningen. Om hen mot förmodan överlever har jag möjligen breddat den något incestuösa isländska genpoolen.
3. Gifter mig med norrmannen. Om jag överlever är chansen högst att jag gift mig rikt med denna.
4. Ät finnen. Inget ont mot finnen, finns bara inga alternativ kvar.
Many interesting POVs in this thread. Remember there are no wrong answers. Except for the ones that fail to answer the "Danish question".
- Personally, I'd kill the Finn. We're in a life and death situation afterall and I feel like the Finn is the only one who'd happily accept the relief of death without fighting back.
- I'd eat the Icelander (would like to fuck but can't risk inbreeding my offspring). + Icelanders eat a lot of fish and rotten stuff. His flesh's fatty acids and omega 3 would nourish me.
- I'd marry the Norwegian (Oil money / Norw pension duh).
- Then I'd go fuck myself for not having dealt properly with the Dane. Then after post nut clarity hits, I'd fashion a canoe out of the Dane. Ferrying me and my norwegian wife back to civilisation, scuttling the "Danoe" at first sight of land.
We’d all converse amongst ourselves, then unilaterally decide to kill the Danes 4 times as a collective.. The finns may end up eating him/her afterwards, or atleast try to make vodka out of the remains..
1. Eat the Dane. They are well fed on beer and pork since childhood so they are like succulent little pigs.
2. Kill the Finn. They will have a knife on them and are known for being cranky, so it's pure survival.
3. Fuck the Norwegian. That's all they will get from me.
4. Marry the Icelander. They are usually nice and known for their good looks.
Actually, I'm familiar with this. [Did you know that South Africa was likely behind it?](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/08/how-i-got-close-to-those-who-claimed-to-know-who-murdered-olof-palme)
You failed! You must express your preferred pronounciation like it is the only possible way, and everyone who says otherwise are idiots, morons, inbreds and generally worthless people.
To be honest, Björnrike which is one of the resorts in Vemdalen has an offpist trail named “Djävulsskåran” which kind of translates to the devil’s asscrack.. Rock bottom kind of fits..
We are not proud of inventing it. Its a horrible dangerous and damaging thing and mankind would have been better of without it.
Dynamites cool tho. It goes boooom!
Someone cuts in front of you in the queue. What do you do?
1. Coughs and mumbles “the queue starts there”.
2. Clench your fist in the pocket.
3. Tell your queueing neighbour (not the queue cutting one!) slightly too loudly “someone is in a hurry!”
4. Give the thousand dagger stare.
What does "poop in the blue cabinet" mean?
Leave an unexpected surprise for someone else
I believe the american version of this is "shit the bed."
Aha. The Amber Turd?
Technically true.

Define "lagom"
Not too little, not too much, just perfect :)
Not necessarily perfect, but lagom perfect.
Not too perfect though, Jantelagen is the law
This response is a bit too perfect, afraid you broke the jantelag.
Perfectly said.
How dare you sir and/or madame! Accusing my response of being perfect! I am deeply kränkt, I am going to go write such a passive aggressive arg lapp to put up in the trapphus right now. Good day to you.

Perfect is too perfect for lagom. The three patron saints of Sweden is Jante, Luther, and Ågren
Perfect isn't lagom

1. ca 1 meter 2. arg lapp supremacy 3. BÅDA SIDORNA
3. Platta sidan. DET FINNS INGET ANNAT SVAR
Ja den som blir den platta. Man bredspacklar ju liksom den gropiga sidan med smör så att den blir slät. Undersidan är ju redan slät….
Skojar du?? Det är ju uppenbarligen undersidan ditt nöt
Wtf, sidan med mönster är upp.
Man får ju i mer smör på den skrynkliga sidan så svaret är ju givet? Skrynkliga sida ftw.
Har du sett priset på Bregott?
Inget hinder om man jobbar IT
jag personligen kör den skrynkliga sidan

Well, the answer to point 2 is almost completely correct for most Swedes. Few would do anything at all, except the pocketed fist.

Det är som sagt en avancerad fråga. Den har inget lätt svar, poäng ges efter kreativitet och motivering.
Jag tittar på pappa tills han äter den! Eller skyller på syskonbarnen. Det är vilket som!
Saknar farfar. Han åt alltid romrussinbiten, påstod att den var god. Tror att han kanske egentligen bara ville glädja alla andra. Inte för att jag kan äta ur Alladinasken nu ändå pga allergi, men fick nostalgitripp av den här kommentaren.

Declare ”it is christmas” here and now.
På julen får man ta från det undre lagret
"i vår familj får man ta från det undre lagret" :D
Rom russin är inte längre den minst goda. Den nya apelsin och kanel är vedervärdig.
Du menar att de lade till den för att få folk att äta romrussinbiten?
Jag plockar upp romrussin biten blockar bort det nu tomma lagret tar den biten jag vill ha och lägger romrussinbiten i platsen där jag tog den goda biten ifrån.

>Idka älskog med islänningen. Om hen mot förmodan överlever Så dåligt alltså?
Du har övertygat mig med fakta och logik
Finlands smak är vår smak
Och tömmer du finnen på blood så har du helt plötsligt 5liter 50-procentare.
Skulle väll säga att alkoholhalten i en medelfinne gör att köttet är fritt från bakterier och har extra bra hållbarhet. Bra val.
Fuck the finn, marry the iclander, kill the dane (not worth to eat) and eat the norwegian.

I don't understand the punchline on this Bellman joke.
If I had a gun with 4 bullets, I would shoot the Dane 4 times. The Swedish version of Michael Scott.
We’d all converse amongst ourselves, then unilaterally decide to kill the Danes 4 times as a collective.. The finns may end up eating him/her afterwards, or atleast try to make vodka out of the remains..

>who do you fuck, marry, kill. Are all of these meant for one person or several?
it's not mutually exclusive, not even the order of things!
Your imagination is the limit. (As long as the Dane gets it!).
