What can you say besides, kids these days?

Kids learn the bitter realities of the gender pay gap

sudshr47 March 9, 2018

Ah, childhood. A blissful time when harsh realities like the gender pay gap are so distant.

But these kids are about to learn a very important lesson.

This video by the Finance Sector of Norway shows four pairs of kids (one girl and one boy in each pair) and asks them to complete a simple task. The kids work together to get the job done and are rewarded with candies—but there’s a catch.

The boy in each pair receives much more than the girl. The kids look confused and when they’re given the explanation as to why the girl has less, they protest.

Once they realize what a dumb standard this is, the kids are happy to divide up their candies—the same reward for the same job. Read more…

To wit: Unacast, a location data startup from Norway, has today announced a $17.5 million Series B round — to fuel expansion, including into his home turf of Europe. Read More

Mmm, protein: Norwegian Olympic team accidentally orders 15,000 eggs

sudshr47 February 8, 2018

Take heart: You’re not the only one who has trouble with Google Translate.

The chefs for Norway’s Winter Olympics team received a shipment of 15,000 eggs last week thanks to an error on the translation service. They’d meant to order 1,500, so it was an understandable mistake — but it was also way too many eggs.

Way, way too many eggs.

OL-leiren bestilte 1500 egg gjennom å oversette via Google Translate. Men det slo feil. 15.000 ble levert på døra. Vi ønsker lykke til og håper at de norske gullhåpene er glade – veldig glade – i egg: 😁 pic.twitter.com/qaWVpq1Xgy

The Norwegian curling team’s pants are the real stars of the Olympics

sudshr47 February 6, 2018

Before the Winter Olympics in 2010, curling pants were fairly nondescript. Curling, as the New York Times later wrote, was a “sport in which athletes traditionally wear black and draw little notice outside curling circles.”

But the Norwegian men’s team in Vancouver changed everything. Instead of basic black, they wore so-ugly-you’ll-love-them argyle pants in red, indigo, and white — the colors of the Norwegian flag.
