I would suggest we add community nesting. It would allow people to easier find new communities and post in small communities without risking that no-one sees it

Yes, and it’s not like you can’t experience temperatures that are not 0-100°F. Here in Sweden (and Finland) we have saunas, and I can assure you that there is a difference between 100 and say 110 Fahrenheit.

btw, is there any word for “being in a sauna” in English? In Swedish we would say “basta” , which is mentioned in our dictionary (in SAOL and SO but not in the SAOB article from 1901) but Google translate fails to translate it. We also have the longer form “bada bastu” that translates to “take a sauna” but I really prefer the shorter form.

Ok maybe I’m a silly swed, but to me the idea of a mountain in Denmark sounds really silly :)

I looked it up on Wikipedia. They don’t mention any lightning coming from his hammer but say that he rides is carriage and creates lightning when he is angry

When Thor is enraged, he rides around on his chariot, which is drawn by the goats Tanngnjóstr and Tanngrisnir, i.e. Tandgnissle and Tandglese, among the clouds and fights with his hammer, Mjölnir (Mjölnir, a symbol of the thunderclaw), against evil in the form of giants; a similar battle is fought in Indian mythology between Indra and Asuras. This is how thunder occurs

Translation from the Swedish Wikipedia

I’m kinda disappointed that he doesn’t create thunder with is hammer. I thought our school knew what the were teaching us :(

But he is riding his carriage during combat with the giants and then the actual lighting is when he throws his hammer? But I could be wrong, it was a couple of years since I studied this

I hate teams but sadly I’m forced to use it in school. Our city spent ridiculous amount of money developing an ms SharePoint/office site for all schools so now I’m stuck with shotsoft teams :(
