Opening bottles with your phone used to be a thing too. Most used Nokias from the 32/3310 era in Denmark have scratches at the bottom from people not doing I properly. I’ve seen some people open beer with iPhones, but I wouldn’t recommend it.



You grab the neck of the bottle tightly with your dominant hand so your finger a thumb is holding the cap tightly. Then you take the lighter in the other hand and wedge it in between the dominant hand and cap. Squeeze tightly and use the lighter as a lever.


Cigarette lighters don’t explode that violently if they’re punctured. The greatest hazard would probably be getting plastic in your eye. If you do it wrong the lighter usually just gets scratched.


In Germany it was opening a beer bottle with anything you just happened to have in your hand at that time.

This goes for Denmark too.


I’m Danish. Opening beer with a lighter or other things that aren’t technically a bottle opener.


I like waffles and pancakes but I’m not a fan of french toast.


No. I usually call myself an agnostic atheist and follow it up with this thought: say humanity some day, somehow sends a man or a robot to explore a black hole and at the very bottom of that black hole there is an old door with a doorbell. We ring the doorbell and soon after an old man opens the door and says: “oh, there you are. I’m God, come on in”. I think it would be kind of arrogant to just dismiss him immediately and say “no you’re not! God doesn’t exist!” That’s why I’m not just a hardcore atheist.


Elder scrolls V: Skyrim. I got into gaming at a pretty high age(31yo) even though I had played a bit when I was younger, but I wouldn’t consider myself a gamer before Skyrim.


Seems to be specific to germany, though.

Nah, they ship to all of EU, shipping just cost a bit more.


TBH loads of stuff about headphones and audio equipment, gaming and computers, etc.

Did you not get sucked into the mechanical keyboards hole? Good for you! I subscribed to r/mk for a long time, but luckily jumped ship before I started getting into custom keyboards. I do have a mech keyboard though but only a basic WASD V2 with cherry clears. Nothing fancy.

I do miss having the money to buy new headphones and amps. I love music and movies, so the headphone hobby actually made a lot of sense to me, and I don’t see any of the equipment I’ve bought as a waste of money. I love my expensive headphones and smile every time I use them 🙂




I think more generally people use " hr. og fru Jensen" for a more exact analog of “John/Jane Smith”

But Peter Jensen was the most common name in Denmark for many years, so you’re not completely wrong.


I’ve visited a couple of times. My preferred app (relay) is still working, but I’m guessing I’ll jump ship completely once relay is affected, Lemmy has mostly replaced my Reddit habits anyway.


Wow! That’s another thing I learned from QI recently. Great fact though, and nice to see it mentioned here 🙂
