"Submarine scrapped 19 years after the 'battle'" is a weird way of saying it sustained no damage.

They played the long con

That's the joke

We now know that cars are not an effective anti-submarine countermeasure.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 11 months ago

No, too many variables. We only know that a Volvo PV544 isn't effective against that particular Swedish submarine. We now need to crash several different cars against several different submarines several times, for science!

What do you mean they had to scrap the submarine

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

No, no. You just need to up the acceleration.

Strap some rockets to that bastard, and let 'em go again.

Zou ik u kunnen vragen wat de nederlandse taal met dit te maken heeft, behalve dat wij het zelfde woord gebruiken voor regel?

För i Sverige pratar vi mestadels svenska såvitt jag vet ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well There's Your Problem

The worst tragedy in the history of the town. The driver remained scarred by the experience. He finally overcame it five minutes later when he was offered a beer

Result: Swedish defeat

LMAO

I searched this "battle" up and couldn't find the original article. Did find that it's been reposted a lot though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Oh wow you couldn't find this original very real article? How strange

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

You think someone would just lie like that 😰

The text in OPs fake-screenshot is fake; but the photo/incident itself seems real

The Huge Mermaid

(Joke explanation: The Little Mermaid from under the sea meets the Prince, but this Mermaid is huge.)
