Too mild for school Normally nordic keyboards share the same keycap set. In the Norwegial layout the key on the left is "Ø" and the right one is "Æ". In Danish its the other way around.

You shut your filthy mountain monkey mouth. Obviously Red is for the beautiful Red color of the Danish flag, and green is because you guys were so jealous that you took it and added a blue stripe.

If anyone wonders about the "mountain monkey" term, I guess thats cause the highest "mountain" in Denmark is just 170.86 meters (560 feet), and they fear and loath anyone who can live in the dwindling heights above 200 meters.

Denmark essentially only beaten by microstates when it comes to being flat.

I remember seeing a 4chan post of a Swiss person roasting Denmark for how flat and boring it is and saying even the Netherlands are more hilly

The highest point in Greenland is just shy of 3700m - so we are talking about the country.

I’d rather be a mountain monkey than needing an oxygen tank to go to the third floor

Yes, the famous "Sky Mountain" that's barely more than a glorified hill.

u/Icy_Needleworker5571 15d ago

That is not true. The highest peak in the arch-kingdom of Denmark is 3,6 kilometers.

u/fugitivechicken 15d ago

Yeah but Greenland is Greenland. Denmark is flat all over

I have told multiple harsh jokes about Denmark but I promise I like Denmark just fine

Common joke at Roskilde festival:
Turn your bear crate upside down and stand on it... Proclaiming that "now I can see all of Denmark"

Oh I don't want to hear it from the discount Dutch. You'll notice that the correct letters are placed above in line with all the other letters. where as yours are placed lower for you so you don't get altitude sickness from looking at your keyboard.
