      You should settle for something more realistic like punching god in the taint

    hilarious, but Google search for the term only shows this Tumblr post, and there’s no equivalent term in Swedish that I know of. But we should make it a tradition anyways.

      I believe this refers to Heitstrenging.

      The Wikipedia page doesn’t seem to mention the craziness of the oaths to the point of gods, but seems to be more about boastful things people would actually try to do. From the above link:

      Heitstrengingar took place at Yule and other sacrificial feasts, weddings, arvals, and banquets and often acted as a form of bragging and promising the performance of an often great feat.

      Which seems to have been extrapolated on a bit for the post.

    I also liked the idea of New Year’s bingo, things you’d enjoy doing the next year and then seeing if you get bingo/s.

    But nah. In 2025 I’m going to start a company that will cheaply generate near-unlimited clean energy from greenhouse gases, pollutants, and (only discarded) plastics. I will install it for free and provide the energy at something like 10% of oil/coal equivalent. By threatening to turn it off, I’ll extort those in power to stop wars (yup, within the year) and obey the experts on how to improve the wellbeing of the bottom 10-50% in individual countries and globally.

    I will win PM of Canada through election or coup, then annex one by one each useful America state!

      I suggest annexing the entirety of the US as a single province for the shits & giggles. I don’t think they’d ever recover from that exceptionally bruised ego. LOL

    A bunch of extrovert idiots. That’s what that party is for.

    I’d much rather have a glass of bubbly at home with friends and then everyone goes their own way and I enjoy a book or something.

              Do you think insulting people for how they choose to entertain themselves is not poor behavior? Are you 74?

                People should be insulted if they’re clearly stupid enough to think tearing shirts and yelling in the name of tradition is a good time.

          Every time a shirt is torn off voluntarily is a good time.

          And mongoloid is an old racist term.
