The white chair is TripTrap made by Stokke (At least the original design, guess it's been pirated by other makers) This could have been any Nordic country as well apart from the details ofc :) I blame IKEA for that

So the Norwegian Forest Cat is sitting on the Norwegian children chair :)

Edit. Think it might be a siberian actually...

They're Maine Coons actually! Brother and sister.

[-] fishbone@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

How many toes do they got?

I must know!

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I'm not entirely sure. But, one thing is for certain, Salad Fingers likes rusty spoons.

[-] fishbone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Is there some kind of reference to this that I accidentally made? I was asking an honest question because Maine Coons tend to have extra toes (polydactyl).

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

No.

I'm sorry for interjecting such a random reference into the conversation, but it just popped into my head right then. And I'm weird so...

Edit: my friend has a Maine Coon. I'll ask if it's a polydactyl. Interesting that it has that genetic trait.

[-] fishbone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

All good, I was just confused is all.

I'm not sure if Maine Coons specifically have a genetic predisposition for polydactylism, but I do know that it's a relatively common trait that's paired with them because of selective breeding.

[-] Dezzorian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Sorry, just 4 at the end of the paw.

The dealbreaker for me is that a nordic home would never have pre-sliced cheese on the table but rather a big block of cheese and a cheese slicer.

[-] Kanda@reddthat.com 2 points 5 months ago

Pre-sliced is fairly popular in Scandinavian homes now

[-] arken@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Well, there's always some people with no self-respect, but they're hardly the norm.

[-] Kanda@reddthat.com 1 points 5 months ago

Too lazy to slice, in Norway it seems to be the majority

[-] Dezzorian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

We've switched back and forth between pre sliced and blocks. But stayed with blocks after watching an episode of "Keuringsdienst van waarde" where you see how much un-cheese presliced cheese actually is.

[-] omgarm@feddit.nl 1 points 5 months ago

In the Netherlands we have both. It just depends on how lazy you are.
