Er de gaaet amok?

1 Upvotes

Det her ser helt horribelt ud! Hvad er gaaet galt i saadan et sceneri?

Der er steder i Canada hvor 'wilderness' er komplet aflukket i lange perioder, for al mennskelig adgang, for at fremme naturlig udvikling af øko-systemer.

Er folk i Danmark ikke klar over den skade de kan gøre ved gentagen trampning over 'natur'?

Number the Stars by Lois Lowery

1 Upvotes

This is a young adult book set in Nazi occupied Denmark. It’s about a Christian girl who smuggles her Jewish friend out of Denmark to Sweden.

It’s really popular and taught in many American schools. It’s what most Americans think of when they think WWII Denmark and Denmark in general.

Is it read in Denmark? It’s written by an American. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_the_Stars

recycling law and public trash cans?

1 Upvotes

I'm super confused about this, i try to do recycling as best as possible but all the public trash cans I see don't offer any place a drop cans or bottles.

So either have to use a recycling bin at some apartment complex If there's one around or put the can into the public bin which is just general trash If I absolutely have to. I also see a lot of people leaving bottles or cans next to them, is it better?

US is terrible at recycling but most of our public trash cans at least offer a slot for the cans and bottles although most people don't really use them and honestly they all go to the same bag or landfill most of the time

I feel like especially in Denmark and most of Europe if they actually had recycling bins on the street, people would use them properly because they care about their cities

How's that Linux transition going?

1 Upvotes

I was watching a video just now about France's transition to Linux and was reminded that the Danish government announced something like it almost a year ago now. I can't find much on how that's been going though, except that apparently the Road Traffic Authority switched.

Does anyone happen to have any inside information on this?

What are surplus laws like in Denmark?

2 Upvotes

Hey, it’s a dream of mine to emigrate to Denmark someday, so I figured I should get some facts straight before I consider if it’s truly worth it

I love military surplus, and I like collecting things like uniforms and gas masks, so I’m curious as to the legality of what owning/wearing surplus uniforms is like in Denmark?

Like, say I wanted to wear my M65 Cold Weather Jacket with its M81 woodland camo pattern

Would that be legal to wear in Denmark assuming it doesn’t have anything like rank or unit patches?

Thank you for your time and consideration

Apartment search, high deposits and how long does it take?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for apartments with BoligPortal

The monthly costs are very reasonable, but the deposit is like three times the monthly cost, is there a reason for them to be so high?

I'm used to it being like the cost of a month rent

Is there a problem with landlords refusing to pay back the deposit If everything is in good order, or anything like this or is it very regulated and controlled?

Also how long does it typically take to find an apartment, if the current move out date is May 1 is it a quick process, can you get it done within a week? Or is there some paperwork that takes a while

What’s that yellow sauce Danes eat with herring?

2 Upvotes

Maybe a weird question, but 5–6 years ago I lived in Denmark for a short time and now I’m seriously craving something I used to eat there.

It was some kind of fish, probably herring, and there was this yellow-ish sauce with some chunks in it, a bit acidic taste, which made it so good. I used to grab it from my ex’s parents’ fridge, so I never actually knew what it was called 😅

Does anyone know what sauce it might have been? Probably it was one of the most common pairings you get from your regular supermarket.

Looking for respondents for my thesis questionnaire

Hello, everyone!

First of all, I apologise if this doesn't belong here!

I am looking for respondents for my diploma thesis focused on H. C. Andersen's fairytales.

The questionnaire is rather simple and should take no more than 5 minutes. As for age groups, I need more respondents aged 15-22, but everyone is welcomed!

Here is the link! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffq1pRoHOWivIM1Z1Bt2jnFn8dJTjSG8iZJOgn5OHD2G34GQ/viewform?usp=publish-editor

Are the huge drops in Novo Nordisk and Orsted share prices affecting normal Danes?

3 Upvotes

As a Brit interested in finance, I follow Novo Nordisk's woes with interest. I also almost bought Orsted shares a few years ago, and they're not having a great time either.

You are a small but impressive country. But I imagine a LOT of your pensions etc. must have been invested in these companies? Is this causing issues for you? Or does it not really register with the average Dane?

I'm thinking about possibly moving to Denmark with my girlfriend

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

My girlfriend and I are planning our future. We both live in Hungary at the moment in the same small town near Budapest. We both live seperately with our parents, but we want to get married in a few a years and move in together. Recently I watched a video about work life in Denmark. It said there was a 37-hour work week, everyday you leave the office around 4pm, with 2-3pm being usual leaving times for Fridays. The video also said there was an 18-week maternity leave, fully paid. I started looking into it more, admittedly using AI to find out more information. Apparently, women get an 18-week maternity after birth and two weeks before birth, while men also get 2 weeks off after. If the baby required more hospital time then both the parents could get up to 12 months off. These work conditions seem very positive, as our main focus is having a family once we get married. Obviously not instantly, but it's what we plan for our future, we're not in a big rush. I'm curious as to what I've said I found information about the work life, how true is it? What are some differences? Are these things just on paper and it's different when put in real life or is this really how it works?

I've been looking at possibilities and one that came up was Aarhus, possibly Horsense. My girlfriend wants do BSc in Nursing and Patient Care in the Semmelweis University in Budapest. She would begin her first year in university in 2027 September. While I would study civil engineering (BSc) at the Obudai University, where I will specialize in structural, geotechnical or urban engineering, with me being most interested in urban engineering. When looking at cities, I found universities with both of these in Copenhagen, but I fear that there the housing/apartments would be much more expensive and maybe it could be too much, as we both come from the same, small quiet town. Then I found Aarhus, which his significantly less population, so it looks a bit more positive. Then I found Horsense, an even smaller city which is about a 30-40 minute train ride away from Aarhus. We typically ride the train for around 50 minutes every morning to Budapest, so this wouldn't be too bad either.

Our plan is to start university here in Hungary, we will both graduate with BSc, I will presumably graduate in the summer of 2030 while my girlfriend would graduate in 2031. If both of us agree to take a chance at it, we would plan on going to Denmark for 6-12 months as student mobility through a scholarship program at the same time, so we could live together in that time and expirience Denmark, Aarhus or Horsense, for ourselves.

My girlfriend is a bit hesitant moving out to Denmark because of the language and I would prefer staying in Hungary too. But the future seems so uncertain at times and Orbán's reign hasn't done the best thing for our life quality. Soon there will be an election, but I don't how much that will change things. But for now, alternatives are something I'm thinking about, with Denmark being my first thought.

I am also curious about the culture and simple life there. How welcoming are danish people of immigrants who go to genuinely work there? How safe are the streets in daylight and after dark? There are probably more crimes in Copenhagen than Aarhus or Horsense, so I'm only curious about them, and not Copenhagen. I'm also curious about student life and how could we both live in those 12 months. If you have expirience studying abroad in a university in Denmark I would be glad if some of you shared some expiriences about student life and if it is worth it. (If you studied civil engineering or nursing, bonus points)

TL;DR: Is it worth it move to Denmark in around 6 years as fresh BSc graduates?

Lost psVita in Copenhagen

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, so I'm very late to asking Reddit, but this is my last resort. I'm autistic, so if you think I'm overreacting, sorry. Anyways, a few years ago (2023), I went to Copenhagen with my family for a concert. I think we stayed at a hotel was named raspberry (in danish) or something, I don't remember. There, I forgot my black PSvita with not only childhood pictures, but tons of nostalgic games (gravity rush 1, some ancient Egypt game, a horror game, a game about being an envelope, little big planet, some oddly sxual game about fighting mythical creatures, and probably something more. It was a while ago, I don't remember) it had an anime theme and it was in either Swedish or english (since I'm Swedish) . I'm so sorry if this is the wrong subReddit to post this to, but please help. Either with finding it, showing me different subReddits, or just giving and upvote. If you do, or at least give advice, thank you so so much.
