  • Not only deer, but all antlery animals (moose, reindeer, elk, etc). It's completely normal and pain free, but it looks like something out of a horror movie.

    For some reason, this does not happen to animals with horns, such as cows.

  • what is a skill you wish you had, and why?

    Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I've always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren't enough to express what I want to say, and for those situations I would love to have a simple drawing do the talking for me.

    How racist/controversial would this skit from the 90's be today?

    To summarize, this scandinavian comedy trio from the 90's made a parody of Miami Vice. This being 90's scandinavia, you can probably guess that the actors/comedians didn't exactly have the melanin-credentials of parodying the black guy from Miami Vice, so one of them instead wore blackface (well, brownface would perhaps be a better description, due to the color tone).

    As far as I can recall, the skit didn't really make race much of a punchline, except from when they're fixing their hair before the final showdown (which one of course have to do, this being a Miami Vice parody), and the white guy asks the black guy to borrow some hair gel but gets the response: (roughly translated) "I'm black, I don't use hairgel. I use chocolate pudding."

    So yeah, asking because I'm a middle aged extremely white guy, and I found this skut funny as shit when I was a kid, and I stumbled across it recently, and I got curious.

    EDIT: Found it. Turns out it's from 1989. https://youtu.be/GDpLUXtA-4M I can't be arsed translating, because in retrospect it's not really that good, but you can see the blackface and its origin in the beginning.
