This is exactly what I’m talking about. They’re literal hipster haircuts these days, except that hipsters tend to not have beards.
I guess to be fair, the decendents of most vikings are now socialists so perhaps ‘hipster’ is semi-accurate 
Does Viking translate to douchebag?

Second from the left on the top has an intense beard, holy cow. That’s some serious facial hair.
I’ve been on a bit of a Viking kick lately. I’ve seen some YouTube videos pairing Vikings and other warriors against each other to see who would win. I’ve always wondered who the deadliest guys in history have been. I’m assuming not Vikings, but maybe they’re up there? Mongols, samurai, some tribal group, etc? Not based off of how much they were able to conquer others, but just like based off of average physical size and the weapons they used, who’s the biggest badass?
Thorssun: “We’re going to fight! And Pillage!”
Boat Crew “Yeah!”
Thorssun: “We’ll fill our boats with Women! And Gold!”
Boat Crew: “Yeah!”
Thorssun: “And Scrunchies!”
Boat Crew: “Yeeaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!”
Scene changes to bloody conquest…
I just finished watching The Last Kingdom. It was pretty great.

I thought that there was literally something called a hipster beard.
I loved the last kingdom. Utred (top right) made it into my Google search of Viking hair styles lol.
I remember reading before that Danes (as Viking is something you do not a people) kept their hair in really good condition combing it and looking after it etc.
I love reading about these things!!!
On a separate note, has anyone watch the history channel drama Britain’s War of Thrones? Might add that to my watch list.

The Danes at one point were known for superior grooming. IIRC, the English had issues with it, as the Danes were stealing their women. I think they passed some sort of bill to address it.

Ah, so they had issues with vikings stealing their women, before they had issues with vikings (literally) stealing their women?
Something tells me the ladies may have been willful participants

I guess it wasn’t a law. They planned an attack over it.

I am still calling them murder hornets, because it’s an accurate description.

Seems derogatory towards people who are or identify as murders.

Maybe the crows got offended since collectively their groups are known as murders.

Wait, so you mean the same state that took like a decade and 4 iterations of new football team names - now wants to change the name of other things too?
“Murder Hornets” is still the proper name IMO. It’s like calling snakes “Death Noodles”… it’s just funny
no you’re thinking of washington DC - way worse..

Not surprising since Whoopi claimed Roman Polanski didn’t commit, “rape rape.” In that moron’s mind, a 43 year old drugging a 13 year old and then having sex with her, including anal sex, is not that rapey.
