Been saying it for years, and starting to feel like I'm going insane. How in the fuck have so many municipalities around the world, especially those concerned with vehicle-based terrorist attacks on pedestrians, not settled on bollards? If it works for embassies, military bases, and other sensitive sites, why not exclusively vehicle-free areas?

Cast iron flower pots

In Oslo in Norway there's these really big and heavy cast iron flower pots. Wish more places used something like this. Something that's also pretty or serves some other purpose.

Karl Johan jumpscare

(It's always interesting when you randomly see a place you live in get posted, it feels so strange)

Det er så jævlig rart å se folk fra Norge på Lemmy.

Especially since there's like 34 people living in Norway and only one of us has heard of Lemmy. So I guess one of us is faking it and is actually just Swedish.

Vel, om bare en av oss kan fortsette som nordmann og den andre bli dømt til å være svensk...

But yeah, I get you, it is a bit funky ^^

people in Nordic countries (and places like the Netherlands) do tend to be vastly overrepresented in the English internet, however
