I'm convinced it's the winters that get them

Looks like this only 2 days in summer…

[–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 28 points 4 months ago

I hate to burst your bubble, but not everyone in Norway lives in places like your image.

Source: I live in a village in Norway by the fjord between tall mountains, a lot like your image.

I think it's the seven months of winter every year that informs the Scandinavian metal scene as well as the rich and complicated mythical history, also the brewing and drinking traditions.

mayhem: exists

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 91 points 4 months ago (1 children)

When the winter looks like that I can understand the metal.

Which band is that? I don't recognize the logo

But their churches look like this

Expected to see the stave church that one black metal band member burned down just to spread misery

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

It looks so tiny. Like a miniature golf obstacle

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Valhalla take me!

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

Pretty sure it's shaped that way to shrug off the weight of snow.

The material/colour choice doesn't help, I'll grant that...

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Looked* I think this one for burnt didn't it?

This similar church was the one that Varg Vikernes from Burzum burnt. It was rebuilt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantoft_Stave_Church

[–] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 36 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Brütal.

Also, anyone get itchy for Valheim when they see architecture like this?

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, then I remember how much I dislike Ashlands...

[–] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh man, yeah Ash is muy caliente! Barely dipped the toe in there with some of da boyes and it was problematic... Good to save those raids for a proper mean squad.

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

Not even the difficulty. Just the relentless pop-in of enemies. Endless and boring.

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 months ago

Valheim was my first thought as well.

[–] wieson@feddit.org 43 points 4 months ago

If I had a cruise ship parked there, stinking up the fjord, I would also write a hate song or two.

Fr they are an environmental disaster and they don't bring any tourist money to the places they destroy. All money is spent within the ship.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Babette's Feast explains all of this

[–] Rayspekt@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is this the original Mayhem house?

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 2 points 4 months ago

No. Mayhem's house is said to have been close to Oslo.

OPs picture is a stock photo from a small city further north, Flåm by Sognefjord.

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 60 points 4 months ago

That cruise ship may be the festering pit of disease riddled near-corpses that served as inspiration

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

For 2 months a year

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's the no sun in winter.

[–] StThicket@reddthat.com 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That depends on where you live. Some places doesn't get sun all year.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 6 points 4 months ago

Like Newcastle and Glasgow

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 2 points 4 months ago

"Some places doesn't get sun all year."

Posting an image during the ten days at the height of summer when Norway gets sunshine, while neglecting the 99% of the year when its cold, dark, wet, and miserable.

The spring and summer is pretty good in Norway. Several weeks with 20+ weather and sunshine. It's maybe more unstable on the west coast, but Norwegian summers are easily better than the heat wave summers you see south in Europe.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 24 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Our winters here aren't much better. We hit -50C for 2 weeks last winter. The only benefit, I suppose is that we get a lot of sun during the winter, as we're in a rain shadow.

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And I thought -6C was cold, fuck me.

To be fair, I honestly found that manageable with just a work uniform and an extra long sleeved shirt.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ehh there's not much difference between -6 and-18 you can get warm by doing whatever activity. Somehow -3 to +3 is the hardest to stay warm in. Too much moisture in the air. Below-18 is where the dry cold starts to be tough.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 months ago

Yeah 0F is -18 and that’s when your Moses starts to stick together when you breath in.

You’re apparently better off swallowing your snot too, since it’s largely condensed water vapor from your own lungs and you’ll dehydrate slower.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Where do you live? Siberia?

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Canadian Prairies. Fukn cold 'ere b'y.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Damn, canada was my other guess (or greenland but like no one lives there)

[–] FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

That's insane. I genuinely cannot imagine how cold that is.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 6 points 4 months ago

Eh it is a dry cold.....

But really after -20 or so its all the same but you get injured quicker.

I have lived in wet winter places (east cost of Canada, Ontario, Quebec) and I like my dry -50 more.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

When you step outside, your face hurts. And that's if it's not windy. Unless you're really bundled up, it feels like you're naked in the cold, and your clothes are like a makeshift tarp you've wrapped around yourself.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

In these temps anyone will understand how cold can burn.

I slept outside in -42 when I was in the army in Finland. Not a good night's sleep, I'll tell you that.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Just take a deep breath!

Have experienced some -35°C not funny.
