Öh hörrni

Det här kan väl inte vara några problem? Vad är det värsta som skulle kunna hända? Att de gör som de gjorde med tågen här och kör på de årtionden gamla modellerna som inte längre duger för sörlänningarna?

Ah hm ok... 😐

Short description of some places in northern Sweden (feel free to add)

Umeå: If that nerd in school were a town

Jokkmokk: That skilled and underappreciated mom who keeps the place afloat really

Luleå: Will be on the robots side in the revolution (which they caused)

Skellefteå: In order to be granted membership your last name must be Eriksson

Boden: A beautiful town to be passing through

Tornedalen: [Distant angry Finnish screaming]

Sundsvall: Stockholm 2.0

Kiruna: The actual location of earths Stargate

Gällivare: The actual reason aliens no longer uses the Stargate

Lycksele: Have replaced the R’s in the language with the sound of mosquito buzzing to better fit in among their overlords

Haparanda: Nice try, IKEA, but we’re still not going there

Piteå: Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu Piteå wͥ̈ͬ̏ͮͬͯg̀̄ͮͤͬ̅ͯa̖͍ͫ̀h̜'̭͔̪ͤͭ͐n̙ͬ͛̚ag̜͙̥̹̎l̫̹͈̦͔͕̾̈́̋̑͂̈́ ̪̯̬̭̻͔́̏ͅf͒͊̐h̤͍̪͕̃ͤ̇͑̔ͣt̀̔͋̐ͫ̎a̳̲̭ͅg̳͚̖̹̪ͣ͛ͬ̍ṋ̘̫̖̻̃̉ͭͥ

Hey now, I go to Haparanda on a (ir)regular basis to visit IKEA, y’all are missing out really

But hold on, I’ve never seen my town described as ‘a beautiful town to be passing through‘ I feel like it refutes with this saying:

det finns en plats på jorden, där solen aldrig ler. Den platsen heter Boden, dit vill jag aldrig mer. (there is a place on earth, where the sun never smiles. That place is called Boden, I won’t ever be returning there)

[growingupnorth]

Yes, exactly why Boden is so great to just pass through 👍

Corona conspiracy theories are crap why are nobody seeing the obvious facts.

The reason, the true conspiracy, is of course that covid-19 was created by men's Djurgården ice hockey team because Luleå was going to win the 2020 gold of Swedish hockey otherwise.
