My company’s headquartered in Denmark, which means YouTube still assumes I’m there, and serves Danish ads, which give the impression Danes are utterly detestable self serving bourgeoisie. This isn’t an impression I ever got elsewhere, so I’m sure it’s the power of advertising.

@Leucrotta I rather like my friends from Copenhagen but maybe ads always highlight the worst of a country

@eredien I'm *very* sure of that, was the joke here.

Spoken Swedish sounds like something I *should* be able to figure out and can't; spoken Danish is completely opaque to me. Even without any idea of what's being said, the ads are just as offputting as English language ads.

@Leucrotta Danish does sound like you're trying to gargle a beautiful opera while having dental surgery
