As a Danish guy, please don't. I get confused enough when you mash æ, ø, or å into random words.

Reading the header with Norwegian eyes was horrible, and it took way too long for me to actually see what they were trying to say

As a Danish man you need to tell me how much truth there is to this. Please.

There's some truth to it but I can't say if it is unique to Denmark. There's some phrasings and words used in Jutland that's completely foreign for people in Zealand. We also have our fringe dialects that are closer to being an entirely different language.

But what is true is that Danish puts way less emphasis on consonants and endings of words are often "swallowed" so to say, so for Norwegians and Swedes it might seem that we have a speech impediment at best. A joke in Scandinavia is that the easiest way to learn Danish is to learn Swedish and put a potato in your mouth while you speak.
