The closest I can come is blackletter or fraktur scripts that were once used for generic languages. As far as letters go they are silly and overcomplicated, with Latin scripts being far easier to read and more adaptable to different visual styles.

With that being said, they do have their own old-timey charm and there is something satisfying in being able to pick up a old book in blackletter and read it when you know that most people can not.

Fun fact: Blackletter was only used for Germanic languages. If a text contained non-Germanic passages it was normal to set those in Latin letters while the rest was set in blackletter.

I love the idea of a modern runic script, suitable for contemporary Scandinavian languages. Would you care to elaborate on your thoughts on this?

I feel like too few people truly grasps the body horror of teeth. Those fuckers are terrifying.

Whatever type of chilli mayo I feel like making that day. Or remoulade, the sweet Danish mayo-based condiment with chopped pickles and curry powder.

If Russia is excluded for waging old-school state vs. state war then the illegal zionist entity should certainly be expelled for waging a horrific and unapologetic genocide against civilians.

I know it's not going to happen, there's way too much western supremacy in FIFA and the football world is infamous for being a safe haven for absolute disgusting politics. But wouldn't fascism-free football be a nice goal to work towards?

The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election.

Get an electable candidate then.

Someone I knew was living in an old building with old-timey fuse boxes placed outside the apartments. When she got tired of her idiot neighbours partying on a weekday night for the millionth time despite being asked to dial it down she finally had enough and went to the fuse box and took away all the fuses to the neighbour's apartment.

She never had trouble with noise again.

When I went to university, our lecturer would literally pass around a flash drive with the ridiculously overpriced textbook he was the author of. He was a cool guy who had the extremely valuable skill of turning a dull subject interesting.

I can't imagine them being interesting to kids today, let alone adults

Weird how kids and adults alike keeps using fireworks then if it bores them so much.
