The Internet Found Out Some Swedish People Don't Feed Guests and Twitter Had A Day About It

So this started when a comment from this Askreddit thread about wild junk people had to do at other people's houses popped off, wherein one commenter described visiting their Swedish friend's house as a kid and not being included at the dinner table. Honestly it sounds cartoonishly cold, especially for a group of people who are typically characterized as overly rigid skiers whose furniture is often described as "as durable and easy to put together as it is to pronounce."

Other Twitter users went on to articulate the practice of not feeding a child guest as more reasonable if your think of it as "it would be seen as impolite to feed other people's kids," rather than viewing it as an entirely selfish desire to keep all your food to yourself. It's sort of unlikely that every Swede is sitting in their home with the lights off, angrily hoarding food because "these dang neighborhood Swedish urchin children won't stop robbling my surströmming."

As these things go, what resulted was everyone on Twitter putting in their two cents in about how much nicer their culture is to guests.
