That is a mistranslation. It wasn't cinnamon buns, it was hetvägg, a type of cardamom bun swimming in sweetened hot milk/cream.

14 cinnamon buns would be rookie numbers

They are really good. Just make sure the cardamom is mixed in well.

and that you're not a king of sweden

Do you suppose he was trying to be the King of Sweets, too?

A time-traveler, too? At that mass? Oofda.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Didn't you know? All kings are time travelers. ESPECIALLY the Swedish ones.

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ohhh, that's what No Kings is really about? That makes so much sense now.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, lots of anti time travel sentiment in the US population.

They have a hard enough time denying the details of their own history WITHOUT people just going to see for themselves!

(For the joke to work, please pretend that the parties are reversed)

I should've known that you, of all characters, would be familiar with atypical time manipulation. I mean, c'mon. You've an ironic anachronism (separated by centuries, no less) as your whole username. 😋

So, O' Timeline Berzerker in a Hand-Me-Down Hemp Toga of Mindfulness +2... what happens next? 🫣

I've been called much worse 😁

For my encore, I'll juggle the simultaneous beliefs in pacifism, that collective punishment is wrong, and that the guillotine for all billionaires is a moral imperative😉

Joking aside, though, my username is actually quite apt: I'm a big bearded guy from Denmark and I'm also a far left anti-authoritarian pacifist (with certain exceptions to the rule such as the above one) 🤷🏻

We're not too dissimilar, geophysically aside, it would seem. No note, other than Mr own personal preference to spell "moral imperative" in that context as "civic duty", instead. Also, for fertilizer; it's a wiser solution than simply eating them as the old saying goes, and the crops will reward us all!

I make sure of that every morning, just to be on the safe side.

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

what if you are a queen of sweden?

[–] Rawrosaurus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

They're amazing. I can definitely believe someone dying after eating 14 of them in one sitting though. I can barely get through one before I just can't eat anymore.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 14 points 2 months ago

Yes, and to add: hetvägg is the precursor to the modern semla, which is probably pretty much a national dish here now.

The traditional hetvägg is equally if not more delicious though, although quite a bit more involved to make.

hetvägg

Heterosexual/hot wall? 🤔

Second only to the bi version. 🤌🏼

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 5 points 2 months ago

hot wall?

Given some cinnamon buns I've had in in my life, they could have just as well been heated drywall. ;)
