"Submarine scrapped 19 years after the 'battle'" is a weird way of saying it sustained no damage.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 year ago

They played the long con

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

That's the joke

We now know that cars are not an effective anti-submarine countermeasure.

[–] eu@kbin.social 42 points 1 year ago

No, too many variables. We only know that a Volvo PV544 isn't effective against that particular Swedish submarine. We now need to crash several different cars against several different submarines several times, for science!

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago

What do you mean they had to scrap the submarine

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

No, no. You just need to up the acceleration.

Strap some rockets to that bastard, and let 'em go again.

In Sweden, it is illegal to break the regel

[–] Getallen@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

And in the netherlands its illegal to not follow the wet

Zou ik u kunnen vragen wat de nederlandse taal met dit te maken heeft, behalve dat wij het zelfde woord gebruiken voor regel?

För i Sverige pratar vi mestadels svenska såvitt jag vet ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well There's Your Problem

The worst tragedy in the history of the town. The driver remained scarred by the experience. He finally overcame it five minutes later when he was offered a beer

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Result: Swedish defeat

LMAO

I searched this "battle" up and couldn't find the original article. Did find that it's been reposted a lot though.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Oh wow you couldn't find this original very real article? How strange

The text in OPs fake-screenshot is fake; but the photo/incident itself seems real

You think someone would just lie like that 😰

The Huge Mermaid

(Joke explanation: The Little Mermaid from under the sea meets the Prince, but this Mermaid is huge.)

Sweden only had like 2 car brands back then... :) Volvo and Saab I guess.
