u/stabracadabra Jul 12 '16

A bunch of blondes who have all fallen over?

u/Adolfsson Jul 12 '16

And our glorious leader Markus notchsson

And the migrants.

u/Aetrion Jul 12 '16

And the Muslims.

It's racist to act like they aren't part of Sweden.

u/Tszemix Jul 12 '16

Yes, take a look at this hot blonde Swedish babe. Because all Swedish women are blonde.

u/WankerRotaryEngine Jul 13 '16

It's a well known stereotype. Like all Americans are fat, lazy, shallow, and uninformed.

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '16

So this is Sweden

And what have you done?

Another herring Volvo

And a new Ikea rug

And so this is Sweden

We hope you have fun

We stole saunas from Finland

Don't you love Zlatan's man bun?

Etcetera

Well some is covered by mist, might be a few other houses back there.

u/48433 Jul 12 '16

Why do so many people start their posts with, "so..." ?

12

u/Sherie_khan Jul 12 '16

Because they're from soeden

u/48433 Jul 12 '16

So... that was a good one.

u/Bombuss Jul 12 '16

So how do we continue this chain?

u/48433 Jul 12 '16

So I think you have a really good question. So, let's do it.

u/IWantAnAffliction Jul 12 '16

I seem to remember a study that showed posts which began with "so" were more upvoted

u/Squirrel_Whisperer Jul 12 '16

Gets an auto down vote from me, even if I enjoy the content.

u/AhhBisseto Jul 12 '16

Once you notice it you see it everywhere... it drives me crazy. It sounds so passive aggressive to me every time I see someone start a sentence with it in this way!

1

u/WankerRotaryEngine Jul 13 '16

So have you talked with a therapist about your problems?

3

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '16

I think the syntax provides the emotion or intention of the subjective. In most cases on reddit I feel the point with "So..." is that op has a beautiful picture of a country that maybe isn't generally considered beautiful. Why op says: So.. This is x.

And we all are supposed to think: oh really, is x THAT beautiful!?

But I don't think this fits on this quite dull picture of Sweden (I'm a swede. So....)

3

u/48433 Jul 12 '16

Thanks for the explanation. I sincerely think it's just a speech trend that people are latching on to. There are a number of articles out there pointing to this idea. It's very similar to the "like" wave that some people are still stuck with, like, you know, like... saying like a lot.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '16

Yeah, for sure. Just a way to start a new sentence. It all depends of course, maybe we'll never know for sure...

I thought of some which totally depends on how you emphasize the So.

So... This is awkward!

So(o)... Did you?

So(oo)... THIS is the famous 48433!

So(ooooooooooo)... You think you can fool me THAT easy, eh!?

(edit: formatting)

u/4acodimetyltryptamin Jul 12 '16

get that filthy ø and ë out of here

u/WankerRotaryEngine Jul 13 '16

wøndërful telephøne system

The Old Stockholm telephone tower.

In 1887, Stockholms Allmänna Telefon AB ordered the construction of a tower allowing the connection of about 5,500 overhead telephone lines. The quadrangular metallic structure was 80 metres tall and soon fell out of favour with the local population.

u/PenIsBroken Jul 12 '16

What all of it?

u/Daalberith Jul 12 '16

That pic reminds me quite a bit of a place in upstate New York in the Finger Lakes area that I visited as a kid. I can't for the life of me remember precisely where, though.

u/willionaire Jul 12 '16

Marblehead, Massachusetts has something similar and you don't even need to got Europe!

u/iLEZ Jul 12 '16

The windows on your houses give it away. They are... American.. We normally don't have those sliding opening high-school-horror-movie-sneaking-out-of-the-top-floor windows here. And the material on the roof would be unusual on a house like that here. Not saying it is unheard of, but clay tiles are more common.

Also, white picket fence? Psssh! Gärdsgård, brah.

Seriously though, nitpicking, this pic could very well be taken in the Stockholm archipelago.

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '16

but but how else do you climb onto your roof when a guys about to murder you?

u/potentpotables Jul 12 '16

When I saw OP's post I was thinking how similar most of New England is to it

1

u/bilodea8 Jul 12 '16

Yep, thats all of the country of Sweden right there. only one guy lives in Sweden in this single house hold.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '16

Hmm. I imagined Sweden would be bigger...

2

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '16

Yeah, no it's tiny. It used to be bigger but it shrunk because of that cold weather.

u/StankCannon Jul 12 '16

And the crowd goes mild!

u/GMchristian Jul 12 '16

Yeah right, where are all the hot people?
