As a swede, I unfortunately have to agree with this entire video, especially how the giants here never stop talking. I had one as a roomate once and I was stuck for years in a timeloop.
Mmm.. As another Swede I also agree with this entire video. Well almost. Don't eat mushrooms that you don't know. But yeah. Stay safe ❤ And don't eath all mushrooms you see :P
I can relate to this. This has happened to me. But in Germany. And with witches. You cannot stop this from happening - it is ordained. We are the chosen ones. You have to make peace and more videos.
As an American I can't relate much to hidden worlds, but my niece was kidnapped by Moth Man during a trip through WV. Found her ten days later and now she speaks exclusively in rhyme about visions of the end. Brought up her grade point average somehow.
The Mothman is a simply a civil engineer who happens to take the form of a ten foot tall anthropomorphic owl with glowing red eyes. Yes his screams can be a bit piercing, but that's only because he's passionate about public safety. Take his warnings seriously.
duuude ok so not exactly the same but i was up in northern vermont with some extended family for a week, and no kidding on the LAST DAY before we left my idiot brother went into the woods and came back all jumpy and stuff. he wouldn’t go in about how he was “craving flesh” and whatnot. super annoying
Gosh as a Mexican I can totally relate, you can't play ball with your twin without getting summoned to Xibalba, the worst part is getting a mosquito to cooperate with you to uncover the real lords, is just pain in the ass, you have to fill so many forms or outright bribe them...
here in Brazil you gotta deal with a stupid guy with fire for hair with it's inverted feet telling you to not harm the forest or he'll get you lost in it, there's also a jerk with one leg that can make hurricanes to destroy all of your farm.
Living in another country must be so exhausting! Here in Germany we just try to stay sober… works most of the time. But when it dosen’t… well, beer only makes you meet you reptilian brain and that’s it. Pretty boring if you ask me. That thing just tells you to keep on breathing… and that’s it.
My dad was sent to the human realm 23 years ago. Haven't seen him since. There are more victims in transdimensional transportation than just the transportee. Thank you for this important video.
It is important to acknowledge the affect these events have on not just the so-called victim, but the people around them as well. Why, I remember my uncle losing his job to a doppelganger and his family not receiving governmental support for years simply because they denied the possibility. It really makes one think.
16 years ago my father was taken to one of the 9 realms. Unfortunately, I still don’t know which one. I hope you’re able to find your dad, and I’m so glad videos like this exist to get the word out.
Actually you can bribe tomtar (gnomes) with porridge, sweet porridge is their favourite. Hope this helps anyone from getting spirited away in the future 😅
I'm scared by how accurate this video is to my own trip on Finnish psychedelic mushrooms. Maybe the nordic fungi are just actually a bridge to the "hidden world". Or maybe I should just stay sober.
No. Don't eat mushrooms if you don't know what they are. Several people from abroad die each year because they don't know what they're doing. They kidneys and liver shut down. So. it's Important to know what is safe to eat even though they are about 200 mushrooms that can be eaten in Finland and Sweden.
@@kristofferhellstrom Trust me, you and I both know how much we're pushed to learn safe mushroom hunting here in the north. I don't actually pick anything more than the usual herkkutatti or kantarelli myself.
I (Giant 1582 M) disagree with this video. Since Giants hold humans to a higher regard than themselves, we’re constantly on the lookout for potential chosen ones within our hidden realms (especially humans) so it’s a bit discouraging to hear when our tales about the creating of the universe is compared to people talking to you in an elevator.
@@3d_young_josephWhat's so funny? Can't appreciate the good work of a giant? I know us dwarves are seen as picky and rude, but we still hold family at heart and our family extends to the damn giants.
I must say, as a Dutch person, dealing with the swamp creatures is easiest by offering them Tulips. This seems to settle their ancient spirit. We had a big influx of them after we built the Deltaworks, what with all the mud.
Omg I went to Sweden on holiday once and had this happen to me, but nobody would acknowledge it happened! Seems not speaking of being dragged into the Hidden World is one of those unspoken laws in Sweden. Still, it beat my usual workday fighting off giant spiders and snakes and drop bears as I ride my kangaroo around!
I’m an American, but I can relate too. Once I was fishing with my uncle in Massachusetts and Cthulhu started rising from the water, causing a huge storm to collect around the lake. Really annoying. And riding a bike through the woods in New York always seems to end the Headless Horseman chasing you for your head. I also went to New Jersey once.
Cthulhu should be in the south pacific ocean though, if he's all the way up in Massachusetts now that means he's on the lose and you need to get him contained ASAP.
As a Finn, Finland sucks even worse, and i actually wanted to move to Norway because like y'all got 99% of the shit figured out that we haven't, but literally the only reasons i didn't were that y'all didn't have enough private sauna's in apartments and the language. And the fact that i couldn't legally get reindeer in Norway since I'm not part of a sámi family. (Tho honestly, would rather learn Norwegian in school than Swedish. Like at least it would be more useful. And probably easier. Who the fuck invented Swedish anyways?)

Geez you have it rough, here in america we have a freindly guy, we call em mothman, while he does abduct people, they return somehow smarter than before.
I don’t live in Europe, but y’all’s village horrors seem both friendlier and more terrifying. Like, our village ghouls just keep offering to marry people and then trying to kill them when they refuse. Or setting weird money traps. And they usually go away once you throw rice on them or something
I mean, we have those too. Näcken and Rået are pretty much just known for being hot and luring you away. Gnomes also aren't all bad, if they like you they will braid your horses while you sleep.
honesty, in Finland it's very similar but you don't have to pay your taxes and you can leave whenever you want because Finnish giants are cool like that. but there is no real reason to leave the "Finnish hidden realm" After all, they have saunas there since of course saunas do keep the time-space continuum together, obviously. After all, in Finland, we do care about the time-space continuum.
bror all you have to do is remember to give an offering of porrige to the gnomes before you start picking but ONLY if they accept the offering and compliment you on how well it was prepared
as someone in scotland I can confidently say that this happens to me a couple of times every winter, maybe it's tied to temperature and happens all the time in sweden because it's so cold?
That's one thing I like about Czechia, no gnomes will harass you about eating mushrooms here. You may end up walking along side other mushroom pickers awkwardly for hours at a time but no gnomes. We've eaten them already. As well as the elves, and every single other magical creature. They were delicious.
im a swede and this is deeply relatable bro top 3 for me would be that i freeze to death on winter so i move to a warmer place in sweden but then i get burnt by the deadly laser in the sky
This happened to me a while back but I was so hard in denial I just assumed it was the mushrooms. Although every night I see my half elf child’s face in my dreams and have to reconsider
Omg I am SO happy I finally found a community to relate to! I didn’t have this exact experience, I didn’t EAT any mushrooms I just stepped into a mushroom circle in a bog but I ended up getting transported to the fae realm!! They thought it was very funny and tried to keep me as a pet but I kept chewing the legs off of their furniture so they sent me back. Now I have a HUGE gap in my resume and my appearance doesn’t match the birthday on my birth certificate, does anyone have any tips?
I actually used to live in the hidden world, But then I managed to anger some gnomes because I said I didn't like mushrooms, And as punishment they sent me to Sweden, It was dreadful. While I haven't been able to get back to the hidden world, I am thankfully in a better place now.
I hate it when that happens. All those nights I spent in the swinging souls tavern, drinking the nights away hoping one day I just get to get out of that place. It was my third time i had been sent there, ive spent maybe 80 years in total in that place, hate it. I just wanted to go for a walk, I didnt ask for this.
Something similar to this happened to me once, but it was goblins not gnomes. I was panning for gold at my a river I found and a bunch of goblins came and kidnapped me so they could force me to pan gold for them. After 8 years I did finally manage to climb up the goblin corporate ladder enough to get out of the system, but it was still pretty annoying. Never visiting the Rockies again.
As a Dane, i am deeply sorry for my Scandinavian brothers of the awful things you have to deal. The only thing we deal with is a never ending rain and potatoes stuck in our throats.
As another Dane, don't forget the countless of invading species known to man, coming from our most freightend neighbouring country . . . Legoland. They have already achieved global domination!
I usually carry anti-gnome charms with me. Usually works. Also, direct sunlight turns them into your typical garden gnome, so just go out at daytime. (And maybe stay away from the red mushrooms with white spots.)
Recently moved to Sweden and honestly this all tracks. There are always growing pains when moving somewhere new, but I'm really surprised none of my friends out here told me about any of this before I moved.
Once me and my friend decided to go on a trip to Sweden. While we were there my friend picked a mushroom, he kept on doing it until the gnomes got really pissed off and sent him to that realm. When he came back he would not stop rambling on and on about how bad the realm is and how happy he is that he got free; now I’m considering not being friends with them because they’ve been doing really weird things.
As a swede, I came into this video ready to hate. But after watching it, you definitely put up some good points. These are definitely some common problems we have in our country which needs to be fixed.
very relatable. In 1996 I was lured into the woods in my backyard by will-o'-the-wisp and through a large briar bush that happened to grow in the shape of a tunnel at the stroke of midnight and before I knew it I was gambling with my life and dancing with fae of all shapes and sizes. what I thought had been 10 days ended up being 10 years when I somehow stumbled back to our realm, and now I'm employed by a shapeshifting imp girl who knows my true name and won't release me until I figure out hers.
If you don't wanna heed the gnomes orders of quitting eating mushrooms, and then having to sit through the tirades of giants again, my best advice to give is probably to cut off chunks of it rather than just pulling them out of the ground. From my personal experience, the gnomes won't pester you, though the trees will start to get a bit mad and speak bad italian (for some reason).
Actually relatable. Thanks for reaching out about our struggles! No Ikea or socially distanced trains could ever be big enough to fill the number of times this has happened to me.
Thank god somebody finally brought this up! I've been waiting for a long while for something like this to make sure that people who aren't from Sweden understand that it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Great job on shining light in this issue!
As someone from Asturias (a region in the north of Spain) I can somewhat relate to this, although I must say that one usually gets sent back within a few years or so, or less if you actively pursue it. The other day I was picking wood and forgot to pray to Aramo, god of crossings, and inevitably got lost, and got to a hawthorn forest where I say a busgosu, and he lectured me for using straws instead of drinking with my hands, and then sent me to meet a bisarma, whom ultimately decided to send me all the way to the remote parts of the forest, where witches roam and time flows differently; I ended up hanging out with a light-hearted xana for a few years, until, after saving her from some güestias that had come for her in her while she was sick, I had to be sent back, a nuberu took responsibility for it (he had sorta caused the sickness in the first place with all that rain). I would recommend always carrying a holly or ash stick around for protection from spirits, although this may not work for all kinds of spirits.
Observation: Mattias went asleep for a while after eating a funny Swedish mushroom, woke up, and started talking about Norse mythology. Calculation:… Don’t eat funny Swedish mushrooms.
As a Slovak I had a similar experience with Vodník. Every so often I would find him sitting at th edge of the lake behind my house and he would go on and on about how the soul economy is not what it used to be and that young people are not so willing to go to his water realm. I had to call pest control because the souls he stored in his jars escaped and haunted my garden for a week. 🙄
As a Mexican, I've come to say: same happens here in Mexico, except that the gnomes are replaced with duendes who like stealing silverware and clipping your nails (even though most of the time they know they will accidentally cut off the tip of your fingers) Thanks for sharing, otherwise I wouln't have realized this is a global phenomenon. Who know what could have happened had I decided to escape the duendes only to be faces by gnomes.
No puedo decirles que tan molesto es cuando eso me pasa, la ultima vez era una simple salida que terminó con 17 años y un trabajo de oficina junto a satires y centauros (las sillas eran sorprendentemente ergonomicas para todos) y ahora solo puedo escribir en español. Cuidado con que trabajo terminan
Yeah, the gnomes are annoying. I usually stop eating mushrooms when they threathen me about the realm. But like, it takes out the fun in mushroom picking. There's this one gnomes, Anders, who always seem to bicker with me 🙄
Pretty similar experience, except usually my vision goes blurry, everything starts hurting and after travelling to the other realm, I get transported back to a hospital bed. Really weird. Maybe different nations giants have different magic spells
super relatable, after getting sent to the hidden world, i started gambling with the trolls, didn’t end well, didn’t know gnome debt collectors could be so vile
This is why I get my mushrooms from the grocers. I know they use violence to get the mushrooms back to the shop safe but the gnomes should respect the Swedish freedom to roam laws, and the recipe demands chanterelles and I'm okay with paying a bit extra
Me and some of my family often go picking mushrooms. The gnomes are sooooooo annoying, i just wanna try some of the cool mushrooms. They’re such hypocrites as well! When they pick mushrooms and berries they’re ”in touch with nature” but when i do it it’s ”morally incorrect” and insensitive”
Oh, yeah. This basically happened to me in Finland. But here eating mushrooms from anywhere is totally fine, you just gotta know where to do things - for example, don't eat chanterelles in the sauna, the sauna gnomes don't vibe with it. They view it as disrespectful of the holy sauna. To pay back the disrespect with booze money, they will force you to work in the Finnish underworld at your current job. To explain, the underworld is basically just the real world except that there's no consequences for your work and you don't ever notice somethings wrong, just living an imitation of your life. I was lucky that my guardian animal was a bird that could fly me back to the land of the living. I think my body would have been gone if I remained knocked out like that for a few more minutes, the sauna can be brutal sometimes. But I wasn't called the chosen one, lucky you!
I learnt this lesson the hard way, but apparently store-bought mushrooms do not attract as many gnomes as wild mushrooms do. And they tend to be much more lenient. Last time I only spent 5 years in the Hidden World.
Ugh I took1 trip once and we had to take a stop in sweden. Worst 6 days of my life. I ate some random mushrooms like I do at home and I was stuck there for like 70 years. And when I finally got back I was in a hospital and they had to keep me there because I had eaten a “deadly amount of poisonous fungi” but I think they were just jealous of my mushrooms cuz that’s all they’d ask me about after I got back. Such a pain
Ugh I hate when that happens it’s like 5th time this week this happened! Once I meet Oden himself yapping about I’m the chosen one, like dude I just wanted some mushrooms.
Regarding the world being a tree, just watching this I got a thought that technically, one could organize all the objects in the universe(stars, planets, asteroids and the like) into a graph(the mathematical/CS structure), and depending on which factor you decide to make edges between vertices, say by distance or otherwise, you can eventually prune said graph to get a tree(a graph without cycles/loops), and even if you get multiple graphs, you can get a forest then, so this large guy has some big brain stuff going on 🤣 Sorry if that idea got out of hand, it fits the plot here tho I guess
Ah yes the same thing has happened to me. Back in the day I joined a google+ group and they recommended I de-nordify my body. This entails going to the antithesis of Scandinavia. Out of the numerous options I went to Antalya in Turkey and spent a while de-nordifying. Don't forget to stay off coffee aswell! It took me about 2 months to get better. Good luck!
My Swedish friend use to live there and he said he moved because trolls wouldn’t stop taking his lunch whenever he crossed a bridge that led to his school
Thank you for raising such an important topic. I feel like you're not allowed to critisize the goblins or the media will be after you. You immediately get labeled as a racist if you suggest kidnappning people to the magic realm ahould be criminalized. We must rise up against the gnomes, or we will never be able to collect mushrooms again!

That's one thing I like about Czechia, no gnomes will harass you about eating mushrooms here. You may end up walking along side other mushroom pickers awkwardly for hours at a time but no gnomes. We've eaten them already. As well as the elves, and every single other magical creature. They were delicious.
I'm still mad I didn't stop at that place where they made goblin gulash. It smelled amazing!
One would think they'd have eaten all the gnomes in Sweden prior to inventing Surströmming.
Yoooo, Gargamel's been missing out all along it seems. Anyone uploaded a food review yet?
Surströmming good tho@@robertcollins4663
im a swede and this is deeply relatable bro top 3 for me would be that i freeze to death on winter so i move to a warmer place in sweden but then i get burnt by the deadly laser in the sky
This happened to me a while back but I was so hard in denial I just assumed it was the mushrooms.
Although every night I see my half elf child’s face in my dreams and have to reconsider
The guy is living in Isekai world
Omg I am SO happy I finally found a community to relate to! I didn’t have this exact experience, I didn’t EAT any mushrooms I just stepped into a mushroom circle in a bog but I ended up getting transported to the fae realm!! They thought it was very funny and tried to keep me as a pet but I kept chewing the legs off of their furniture so they sent me back. Now I have a HUGE gap in my resume and my appearance doesn’t match the birthday on my birth certificate, does anyone have any tips?
I actually used to live in the hidden world, But then I managed to anger some gnomes because I said I didn't like mushrooms, And as punishment they sent me to Sweden, It was dreadful. While I haven't been able to get back to the hidden world, I am thankfully in a better place now.
Im so sorry this happend to you but it could be worse you could have been sent to denmark.
The red mushroom with the white spots are my favorite ones
I never ever thought I'd learn about Swedish Isekai from this channel
I hate it when that happens. All those nights I spent in the swinging souls tavern, drinking the nights away hoping one day I just get to get out of that place. It was my third time i had been sent there, ive spent maybe 80 years in total in that place, hate it. I just wanted to go for a walk, I didnt ask for this.
Something similar to this happened to me once, but it was goblins not gnomes. I was panning for gold at my a river I found and a bunch of goblins came and kidnapped me so they could force me to pan gold for them. After 8 years I did finally manage to climb up the goblin corporate ladder enough to get out of the system, but it was still pretty annoying. Never visiting the Rockies again.
As a finn luckily I haven't had to go to the secret realm yet because I've always remembered to give the sauna gnomes something nice for their efforts
As a Dane, i am deeply sorry for my Scandinavian brothers of the awful things you have to deal. The only thing we deal with is a never ending rain and potatoes stuck in our throats.
As another Dane, don't forget the countless of invading species known to man, coming from our most freightend neighbouring country . . . Legoland.
They have already achieved global domination!
@@dannelagen and the frightening “germans” as they are often referred to as, that invade our beaches with their huge autocampers every summer.
As a Dane, I am great.
A Great Dane, if you will.
...and you just ordered 1000 liters melk.
Kamelåså...
Damn my worst enemy feels bad for us🥲
I usually carry anti-gnome charms with me. Usually works. Also, direct sunlight turns them into your typical garden gnome, so just go out at daytime.
(And maybe stay away from the red mushrooms with white spots.)
I am German, so if you want to trade elves and giants against the abominations from Brothers Grimm - you're more than welcome 😅
I clicked this video from the "Say "No" More", and now I will never see mushrooms the same way.
Recently moved to Sweden and honestly this all tracks. There are always growing pains when moving somewhere new, but I'm really surprised none of my friends out here told me about any of this before I moved.
Once me and my friend decided to go on a trip to Sweden. While we were there my friend picked a mushroom, he kept on doing it until the gnomes got really pissed off and sent him to that realm. When he came back he would not stop rambling on and on about how bad the realm is and how happy he is that he got free; now I’m considering not being friends with them because they’ve been doing really weird things.
As a swede, I came into this video ready to hate. But after watching it, you definitely put up some good points. These are definitely some common problems we have in our country which needs to be fixed.
very relatable. In 1996 I was lured into the woods in my backyard by will-o'-the-wisp and through a large briar bush that happened to grow in the shape of a tunnel at the stroke of midnight and before I knew it I was gambling with my life and dancing with fae of all shapes and sizes. what I thought had been 10 days ended up being 10 years when I somehow stumbled back to our realm, and now I'm employed by a shapeshifting imp girl who knows my true name and won't release me until I figure out hers.
It’s Rachel
If you don't wanna heed the gnomes orders of quitting eating mushrooms, and then having to sit through the tirades of giants again, my best advice to give is probably to cut off chunks of it rather than just pulling them out of the ground. From my personal experience, the gnomes won't pester you, though the trees will start to get a bit mad and speak bad italian (for some reason).
Oh,they have a perfectly fine reason, but their Italian is so bad it's impossible to understand
Not me thinking this was serious when I read thumbnail
Mattias really thought if he ripped on Swedish elves on April fools day that he wouldn’t get called out for it.
The local gnomes have now evolved and when you pick up mushroom you automatically get sent to the other realm
Actually relatable. Thanks for reaching out about our struggles! No Ikea or socially distanced trains could ever be big enough to fill the number of times this has happened to me.
As a norwegian, i am suprised that this happens to swedes too. Last time i got sent to Muspelheimen, almost got a heat stroke
as an American, I wholeheartedly believe this.
pewdiepie
As an egyptian i hate when i just go and pick some nile lilys and then i wake up finding myself in a bar chating with horus and anubis
At least they are nicer than Thor. he's such an asshole
Gnomes keep hiding my socks :(
Ever since i immigrated here. The gnomes have been living INSIDE my house. Great video can greatly relate.
Thank god somebody finally brought this up! I've been waiting for a long while for something like this to make sure that people who aren't from Sweden understand that it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Great job on shining light in this issue!
The part about the branching universe and galaxies… why is everything a god damn fractal!!!
As someone from Asturias (a region in the north of Spain) I can somewhat relate to this, although I must say that one usually gets sent back within a few years or so, or less if you actively pursue it.
The other day I was picking wood and forgot to pray to Aramo, god of crossings, and inevitably got lost, and got to a hawthorn forest where I say a busgosu, and he lectured me for using straws instead of drinking with my hands, and then sent me to meet a bisarma, whom ultimately decided to send me all the way to the remote parts of the forest, where witches roam and time flows differently; I ended up hanging out with a light-hearted xana for a few years, until, after saving her from some güestias that had come for her in her while she was sick, I had to be sent back, a nuberu took responsibility for it (he had sorta caused the sickness in the first place with all that rain).
I would recommend always carrying a holly or ash stick around for protection from spirits, although this may not work for all kinds of spirits.
I love the plot twist that this video was about drugs
I love the foreshadowing
As someone living in Norway, this is also an issue that happens everyday.
As a Norwegian, this stuff happens here too smh
Observation: Mattias went asleep for a while after eating a funny Swedish mushroom, woke up, and started talking about Norse mythology.
Calculation:… Don’t eat funny Swedish mushrooms.
Apparently they have death caps and destroying angel mushrooms there. So he probably died and woke up in the next life.
As a Swede myself, I agree. It’s so annoying having to talk to the giants. My teacher was one and our classes would NEVER end.
I have schizophrenia and i needed to hear this. Totally relatable. Have a great day. Thankyou
Wait i posted this literally before i heard you ask if this is relatable.
Goddamnit dude wtf is happening?
Great video! Pretty funny, love the art-style too
As a Slovak I had a similar experience with Vodník. Every so often I would find him sitting at th edge of the lake behind my house and he would go on and on about how the soul economy is not what it used to be and that young people are not so willing to go to his water realm. I had to call pest control because the souls he stored in his jars escaped and haunted my garden for a week. 🙄
The gnomes really make mushroom picking season such a pain
I live in wales, and it’s a real pain when people you know are turned into owls as part of a revenge plot
As a Mexican, I've come to say: same happens here in Mexico, except that the gnomes are replaced with duendes who like stealing silverware and clipping your nails (even though most of the time they know they will accidentally cut off the tip of your fingers)
Thanks for sharing, otherwise I wouln't have realized this is a global phenomenon. Who know what could have happened had I decided to escape the duendes only to be faces by gnomes.
Yeah those mushrooms got me flying and shit
No puedo decirles que tan molesto es cuando eso me pasa, la ultima vez era una simple salida que terminó con 17 años y un trabajo de oficina junto a satires y centauros (las sillas eran sorprendentemente ergonomicas para todos) y ahora solo puedo escribir en español. Cuidado con que trabajo terminan
0:26 Bro’s been eating a different kind of mushrooms
i can relate, i aint eating mushrooms no more
Yeah, the gnomes are annoying. I usually stop eating mushrooms when they threathen me about the realm. But like, it takes out the fun in mushroom picking. There's this one gnomes, Anders, who always seem to bicker with me 🙄
Bro is telling us the Sweden lore
This is shockingly accurate and I hope things get better
Pretty similar experience, except usually my vision goes blurry, everything starts hurting and after travelling to the other realm, I get transported back to a hospital bed.
Really weird.
Maybe different nations giants have different magic spells
good stuff, i love your art style
super relatable, after getting sent to the hidden world, i started gambling with the trolls, didn’t end well, didn’t know gnome debt collectors could be so vile
As a Norwegian, i can relate to this🧌🧌🧌
as someone whos stuck here in sweden i can agree this happens all the time
As a Finn. I totally agree
This is why I get my mushrooms from the grocers. I know they use violence to get the mushrooms back to the shop safe but the gnomes should respect the Swedish freedom to roam laws, and the recipe demands chanterelles and I'm okay with paying a bit extra
1:48 The joke here is that the T with the white background makes the Finnish flag and taxes can be really high in Finland.
God, I hate the gnomes so much
You went on an acid trip😂 you ate the wrong mushrooms
Me and some of my family often go picking mushrooms. The gnomes are sooooooo annoying, i just wanna try some of the cool mushrooms.
They’re such hypocrites as well! When they pick mushrooms and berries they’re ”in touch with nature” but when i do it it’s ”morally incorrect” and insensitive”
A normal day in Sweden!
Oh, yeah. This basically happened to me in Finland. But here eating mushrooms from anywhere is totally fine, you just gotta know where to do things - for example, don't eat chanterelles in the sauna, the sauna gnomes don't vibe with it. They view it as disrespectful of the holy sauna. To pay back the disrespect with booze money, they will force you to work in the Finnish underworld at your current job. To explain, the underworld is basically just the real world except that there's no consequences for your work and you don't ever notice somethings wrong, just living an imitation of your life. I was lucky that my guardian animal was a bird that could fly me back to the land of the living. I think my body would have been gone if I remained knocked out like that for a few more minutes, the sauna can be brutal sometimes. But I wasn't called the chosen one, lucky you!
I learnt this lesson the hard way, but apparently store-bought mushrooms do not attract as many gnomes as wild mushrooms do. And they tend to be much more lenient. Last time I only spent 5 years in the Hidden World.
Even with all of this tragic stuff definitely specific to Sweden, there is still their flag going for them. Maybe the only big plus.
So relatable in Frisia the dwarfs where Gnomes where goblins still the giants do the same with the trees
Ugh I took1 trip once and we had to take a stop in sweden. Worst 6 days of my life. I ate some random mushrooms like I do at home and I was stuck there for like 70 years. And when I finally got back I was in a hospital and they had to keep me there because I had eaten a “deadly amount of poisonous fungi” but I think they were just jealous of my mushrooms cuz that’s all they’d ask me about after I got back. Such a pain
Ugh I hate when that happens it’s like 5th time this week this happened! Once I meet Oden himself yapping about I’m the chosen one, like dude I just wanted some mushrooms.
I was expecting you to complain about something stupid like food or history. But turns out I was wrong and I agree with you on this.
I feel like I've seen this video like a couple of years ago. This weird sense of deja vu is a perfect complement to this lol
I love Sweden now
Regarding the world being a tree, just watching this I got a thought that technically, one could organize all the objects in the universe(stars, planets, asteroids and the like) into a graph(the mathematical/CS structure), and depending on which factor you decide to make edges between vertices, say by distance or otherwise, you can eventually prune said graph to get a tree(a graph without cycles/loops), and even if you get multiple graphs, you can get a forest then, so this large guy has some big brain stuff going on 🤣
Sorry if that idea got out of hand, it fits the plot here tho I guess
Ah yes the same thing has happened to me. Back in the day I joined a google+ group and they recommended I de-nordify my body. This entails going to the antithesis of Scandinavia. Out of the numerous options I went to Antalya in Turkey and spent a while de-nordifying. Don't forget to stay off coffee aswell! It took me about 2 months to get better. Good luck!
As a Swedish person I can totally relate. Happened just last week.
My Swedish friend use to live there and he said he moved because trolls wouldn’t stop taking his lunch whenever he crossed a bridge that led to his school
Thank you for raising such an important topic. I feel like you're not allowed to critisize the goblins or the media will be after you. You immediately get labeled as a racist if you suggest kidnappning people to the magic realm ahould be criminalized. We must rise up against the gnomes, or we will never be able to collect mushrooms again!
Oy Vey!
Relatable.
