It is a fair interpretation, just not one that I thought of.

Thanks for clarifying.

All good indeed.

I have no idea if swedes tend to be bottoms more often than other nationalities, neither do I care to be honest.

The words „Sweden“ „top“ & „bottom“ triggered a brainfart, which I formed into this joke. If the line had been „drive through Sweden from bottom to top, I’d have probably made the same joke the other way around.

Why is this so important to you? Do you think I‘m dissing Sweden? Do you suspect that there’s a layer to the joke you didn’t get? Is the joke simply not funny to you an you try to find out if you missed something?

No, as I said, it’s a play on words and a reference to how you like to have sex.

The terms top, bottom, and switch are used to describe an individual’s role during a BDSM activity. They may more broadly denote a psychological, social, or sexual identity, or indicate one’s usual preference.[1] Terms topand bottom refer to giving and receiving roles, not to who is physically on top in a particular sexual act.[1][2][3] A switch is someone who can act as both a top and bottom.

It’s a sexual preference joke.

Yeah… the Swedes… turning every top into a bottom in less than a day…

At least that part is seen as a bit problematic by characters of the story.

The art is problematic in itself.

• Goblin banker look like antisemitic caricatures.
• house-elves want to be slaves because it’s their nature and Hermione is ridiculed for trying to free them
• the Irish guy is called Seamus Finnigan and like to blow up stuff
• the French girl is pretty and mean.
• the Eastern European guy is quiet an angry
• the red-haired family is poor and has a lot of children
• the Asian girl is smart and called „Cho Chang“
• …

It’s just another iteration of the Heroes Journey in a nice (except for the racism) setting.

Edit: read Alanna by Tamora Pierce. Much better.

Play old video games. They have codes for every level because of no room for savegames.

I don’t recognize the specific melody but it feels like something from southern Germany/Austria/Switzerland.

• Snowdrifts so high, travelling in a train like this (5000PS, 80t) felt like hitting waves on a boat.
• Cycling against a 90km/h headwind.(Walking would have been easier and faster, but the way back was glorious)
• Camping in a storm with 11 Beaufort gusts on a rockfestival and seeing a helicopter abort his landing attempt and a Pavillon tent roll by like a tumbleweed.

All quiet on the western front. It’s short. It’s good. The OG Nazis hated it. Read it.

(The title alone is „Baby-shoes-never-worn“ level of sad)

Because he is reaping the souls.

The scythe as an artistic symbol of death has deliberate agricultural associations since the medieval period due to the importance of farming and seasons. The tool symbolizes the removal of human souls from their bodies in huge numbers, with the analogy being to a farmer (reaper) cutting through large swaths of grain crops during harvest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grim_Reaper

Edit: Death personified as someone harvesting is a very old metaphor:

For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets. Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them. Jeremia 9, 21-22

5.5/7 because in the words of the famous Brendan Sullivan:

„shut the f*ck up rob i liked the movie. I thought it was dark and mysterious, almost as good as the dark night“

That’s when Hitler died in Argentinia

There’s a reason neo-nazis are terrible DJs.

Ah yes, I remember: His name was Laokoon.

That’s a perfect metaphor for crying over „man hating feminists“.
