To choose the color of their team in Buenos Aires, they said that it will be the color of the first ship that will come on the port. The first ship carried a Swedish flag 🇸🇪 and that why Boca Juniors have blue and yellow as their color 😁

Fun fact: the Argentinian soccer team Boca Juniors (very famous in the soccer/football world) is blue and yellow because of the Swedish flag. the history says that around 1907 the team owners were discussing what colors to use, they came to an agreement to use the ones in the flag of the first ship that would come to the buenos aires port, that ship came from Sweden :)

Funnily enough, there was a proposed Finnish flag with a white cross on a blue background, but that was quickly dropped due to the reasons of it being mistaken for the Swedish one from afar.

So one of my fav KZbinrs is a young man in Sweden who is building a cabin in the woods with trees he cuts down (Erik Grankvist - brilliant vids). He always makes a point of showing that he is replacing the trees each time. I thought it was just him being conscientious... but perhaps he was also proving he was not breaking any laws...

[@jonaramire]

Pewdiepie ?

[@TheLittleTpot]

How very fitting that his surname means "Pinetree Twig"!

[@snowstrobe]

@@TheLittleTpot Too cute!

[@Theorimlig]

The law just means that if you clear fell a tract of forest you have to make sure it's replanted or is allowed to regrow naturally (if you don't get enough natural regrowth, you have to plant or sow new trees there). Erik just cuts down a few trees on a small scale, so that law would not apply. But he's definitely a cool guy, and seems conscientious.

[@Theorimlig]

@@TheLittleTpot Spruce twig, not pine twig! Gran = spruce, kvist = twig.

[@CoffeeSuccubus]

Another fun fact The Paradox game you play are made in Sweden.

[@edwinostberg8768]

6:36 a small correction; Småland translates to Small Lands because historically the region had many small "countries" or earldoms. Interesting fact! During the Swedish Liberation War of Gustav Vasa, a farmer by the name of Nils Dacke started an uprising against the later king of Sweden because of high taxes on farmers and seizing of precious metals and gemstones from the catholic churches by the protestant central power. The province during this time called itself Dackeland (after the leader of the rebellion) and could have become an independent country if things had gone a little different. The king Gustav Vasa is reported to have said about Nils Dacke that he was "worse than a heathen and a jew", and his decapitated head is supposed to have been stuck on a pole and displayed in Dackes home village (although this is disputed, as some claim he fled Sweden for Brandenburg where he supposedly had relatives). Great episode as always Barbs!

[@oliverkarehag9883]

As a person from Sweden, the län and landskap are in some cases the same, some slightly diffrent, but some are very diffrent. Its really weird when you look at it closer. BTW three crowns (tre kronor) was a important castle that burned down.

@@unclear6055 Vissa landskap har väl starkare identiteter än andra. Någon från Lysekil lär ju definitivt har ett starkare band till landskapet Bohuslän än till Västra Götalands län, till exempel, men detsamma gäller ju definitivt en Bollnäsbo som i alla lägen lär prata om Hälsingland före Gävleborgs län.

As a Smålander I have to correct Jonas on the etymology of my province. Småland means "The land of Small Countries" reffering to our traditional 11/12 countries from back in the Iron age.

[@blitzgordon3515]

The three crowns stand for 3 kingdoms united: Svealand, Västra Götaland and Östra Götaland. The "powerhouse" of that time. Then you add Norrland (added later) and Skåneland (often warred over with Denmark trough the centuries) and you got Sweden

[@queerwizard]

I´m proud to be from the province of Småland! We have our own national day which is on the first thursday of March, or "fössta tossdan i mass" in our dialect. On that day we get to eat marzipan cake (massipantååta) and celebrate the fact that we don´t pronounce the "sh" sound in all these words.
