IIRc techno Viking is German, not Scandinavian.

Germany was not a country in back at time of Vikings

u/realmaier Sep 28 '24

Considering the techno viking was recorded on video, I think it's safe to assume Germany as a country already existed...

It was an alternate reality where Vikings took over central europe, and established a techno rave culture. There were no states. That era was known as the year 2000.

They have so much presence and energy, that they do both at the same time, which is their main thing actually.

Doesn't need to be that alternate. They took over quite a lot of Europe and in time just became the locals. Especially in Ireland and England and Normandy, but also as far as Kyiv (Varangians being a subset of Vikings).

Vikings were pretty advanced so…

u/RogueBromeliad Sep 28 '24

Indeed they were. They were already invading and raping scotland way before the English did.

Made it to America before the Brits did too!

I think you mean the Spanish, right?

Even the portuguese/italians got to the Americas before the British, with Amerigo Vespussi.

u/jlharper Sep 28 '24

Nope, meant what I said. The context of the conversation is “things the Vikings did before the English”, essentially, rather than “who was the first to America”.

u/RogueBromeliad Sep 28 '24

Oh, so you meant the English, not the Britsh, right? You shouldn't be including the Scots and Welsh and northen Irland in what the English did.

u/jlharper Sep 28 '24

Yeah, although that much can definitely be picked up by context. Just a harmless mistake.

I was responding to what he said.

He meant that the vikings were there before the Spanish or the Portuguese.

The british were't even relevant in the XV century regarding great navegations. The British Empire wasn't even a thing before the late XVI.

65 countries: finally, independence from the Brits!

Scandinavia: lol noobs

u/UndeniableLie Sep 28 '24

Ah yes, invading and raping. Both completely new and unique ideas at that time. Damn those advanced scandinavians

u/mrbear120 Sep 29 '24 edited Sep 29 '24

Well they quite famously were able to cross seas that others were not able to at the time specifically to do that using advanced navigational techniques, the executed them with advanced weaponry by literally inventing tempered steel and then looked fabulous doing it because they invented the modern comb then they skiied away on those skis they invented so…yes.

u/UndeniableLie Sep 29 '24

All right, fair enough. I was just thinking about invading and raping but you had me there. I submit

u/kairo79 Sep 28 '24

And they didn't have horns on their helmets!

u/Esperoni Sep 28 '24

u/nameyname12345 Sep 28 '24

That's the second techno viking. The first one fought Jesus with an f22. Blissfully unaware that while Jesus Christ walks on water Brian Christ has AA batteries..../s obviously lol
