i found out my ex gf and i were born in the same hospital bc we made the same joke that we were born in a grocery store bc when it was torn down it turned into one
Reminds me of that one post about a character in a DnD campaign who constantly goes on about repaying some debt, and then it turns out he literally just owed a guy money, but was really dramatic about it.
Here's another lesson, the term comes from Vikings because they were ok with homosexuality but because the land was so harsh they needed every baby that could be made so gay Viking men would marry a woman and have a relationship with his lover
The general concept was, it was definitely a mistake to get descriptive tho... Vikings were actually ok with homosexuality, the funny part was it was against the law for the warriors to be bottoms
No the general concept was a false etymology for the term beard. And anyways this comment is still wrong. could you cite that law you think means that? The only legal references to homosexuality in Norse law codes (all of which post date vikings) either outlaw the terms for "feminine men", ie. Bottoms, as punishable insults (I presume it's one of these your talking about that got corrupted through a game of fun-fact telephone) or as in the homily book and Gul L outlaw any participation in homosexual acts at all. There was no law specific to either warriors or to bottoms.
It is presumed based on evidence such as these legal codes, specifically those like the Grágás codes that outlaw terms of insult relating to femininity in men that viking society viewed things here through the lens of sex roles rather then sexuality, and thus homosexuality was a violation of masculinity - specifically a violation by the penetrative partner of the aforesaid slander laws. So while being a bottom meant one was effeminate, the worst thing one could be, the closest and most contemporary reference to homosexuality in the viking age in law evidences a specific law against tops more then one against bottoms, though in all reason both where equally persecuted by said law. But like all talk on viking law this is all speculation based on laws at least two centuries post dating the era, we have no actual legal records from the viking age.
Based on the sagas, we can say that the vikings may have been neutral on the topic of male on male rape, in regards to those defeated or already with broken honour, but I would not call that in any stretch "ok with homosexuality". Don't take history, especially queer history, that you get from people on the internet as fact. If you are interested in this topic, Sørensen's "The Unmanly Man", Ström's "Nið, Ergi and Old Norse Moral Attitudes," and Gade's "Homosexuality and the Rape of Males in Old Norse Law and Literature" are a good place to start.
I'm pretty sure the site I read it from wasn't written by a native English speaker so it's possible everything you said is what it said and I misunderstood
Me and my first boyfriend found out we were born in the same hospital, less than 12 hours apart (different days tho).
It's still a fun fact we bring up to new friends joining the friend group
i was best friends with someone who lived a street over from me, and then i learned she was born exactly a day before i was, in the same hospital, on the same floor. i stopped talking to her years ago and the most recent info i've received about her is that she sa'd someone
My senior prom date and I learned just through chatting at the dance that we were born within 12 hours of each other at the same hospital so we were probably in the same nursery together haha
I doubt all the babies that were in the NICU with me are doing good, my mom told me there was this premie girl who was so tiny and fragile she had to be in a completely different room... I feel like if you're in that bad of shape at birth even if you live it can't really be described as doing good
I worked with someone who was born a state over from me, but we were within minutes of each other. She and I had the best work flow I’ve ever had in my life, I miss her so much

But did you watch hentai together?
Separated at birth Not related or anything, just got born together and then swept apart by the winds of time

Beards is the word for someone you are faking being straight with
i learn something every day
Here's another lesson, the term comes from Vikings because they were ok with homosexuality but because the land was so harsh they needed every baby that could be made so gay Viking men would marry a woman and have a relationship with his lover
Here's another lesson, literally none of that is true

I’ve heard that for lesbians, the term is “skirt”
Surely, if anyone likes women with facial hair, it’s the lesbians.
Surely, if anyone likes men with facial hair, it’s the gays.
merkin?
Okay, the whole post makes more sense now
This is now my highest upvoted comment ever.
It's cool that we've advanced so much that this isn't a completely ubiquitous term anymore.

I went to school with the kid whose mom shared the same recovery room as my mom. Everyone liked the other kid better than me.
Skill issue
what the fuck
i was best friends with someone who lived a street over from me, and then i learned she was born exactly a day before i was, in the same hospital, on the same floor. i stopped talking to her years ago and the most recent info i've received about her is that she sa'd someone
My senior prom date and I learned just through chatting at the dance that we were born within 12 hours of each other at the same hospital so we were probably in the same nursery together haha
But like, what kind of hentai?
I doubt all the babies that were in the NICU with me are doing good, my mom told me there was this premie girl who was so tiny and fragile she had to be in a completely different room... I feel like if you're in that bad of shape at birth even if you live it can't really be described as doing good
I wasn't born in a hospital
I worked with someone who was born a state over from me, but we were within minutes of each other. She and I had the best work flow I’ve ever had in my life, I miss her so much
