Did you know Rudolph the Reindeer (and all reindeer in general) has no upper teeth?

Join us for beautiful pics of auroras, reindeer teeth trivia, and grousings about grocery prices! Whether you’re a born Norwegian, immigrant, tourist, or just think reindeer are cute, this is the place to be.

Due to the small size of Lemmy, and the even smaller size of the Norwegian part of Lemmy, contributors are encouraged to stick to English where possible.

ironically it would probably be more accurate to say "dane" whenever people talk about vikings, since vikings were just people who went out to plunder and stuff. Meanwhile the danes were the most significant group in the nordics at that time, sorta like how people generally say "british" even though that doesn't technically include ireland.

But Norsemen, another agreed upon generalization from their victims (everyone else) more specifically referenced Norwegians.
