FAQ
IS SWEDISH PROBLEMS ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK OR OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA?
No, Swedish Problems exists only on Tumblr. Everything else is fake.
DID YOU ACTUALLY STEAL THAT ONE JOKE FROM THE TYPICAL SVENSKEN?
No. It was a submission that came through our ask box. The link below it is the link to the person who suggested it. It was queued two days before it was published. By the time we realized it was up on TTS (or even that TTS existed), it had 800 notes and we kept it up.
I HAVE THE PERFECT IDEA, HOW CAN I SUBMIT?
You can write your idea to us in the ask box or through a submission. We might change the punchline a little, to make it fit in the meme, but we always make sure to credit.
We offer royal submission, the deluxe version of our submission system. You make the meme yourself and see your result complete with the king’s face! Do you dare to submit? Don’t forget the link/.jpg when you’re submitting in the ask box, so we can credit you.
WHY DIDN’T YOU USE MY SUBMISSION/CREDIT ME?
Okay, hold on - stop the Kent record and put down the knife you’re going to cut yourself with. It probably has something to do with one or more of the following things:
- It’s not *that* funny.
- It’s racist.
- We don’t get it.
- Someone else thought of it first and it’s already in the queue.
- It already has been posted.
- We have over 1,200 messages and enough with our own personal Swedish problems.
- It’s perfect…! But not for this blog, try Socially Awkward Penguin. (Although we seem the same, there’s a slight difference.)
- Also, we try to distinguish ourselves from blogs of the type: “You know you’re [insert nationality here] when…” and rarely accept jokes that are just swedish phrases or phenomena. This is a joke dedicated to first world problems. But sometimes we’ll let one pass if it makes us giggle. Man är väl bara människa.
CAN I SUBMIT BUT STILL BE ANONYMOUS?
Just ask us not to credit you, and we won’t. We will credit “anon” or the pseudonym of your choice.
WHY DON’T YOU ANSWER MY MESSAGES?
Thanks for all the love, folks! We read all of your messages and it really warms our hearts, but we don’t want to clog people’s dashboards by publishing nice asks. *vill ju ej göra någon avundsjuk*
I AM NORWEGIAN/DATING A SWEDE/FINLANDSSVENSK/FROM MARS, IS IT STILL OKAY THAT I ENJOY THIS BLOG?
It amazes us that we still get this question. The answer is always yes. We love you all. (Especially finlandssvenskar because of your sexy sisu accent)
ARE YOU GUYS SWEDISH?
Men ja för fan
KAN NI INTE SKÄMTA OM NEGERBOLLAR? :)
Nej
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT PEOPLE MAKING THEIR OWN SWEDISH PROBLEMS THROUGH ROYAL SUBMISSION AND POSTING THEM TO THEIR OWN TUMBLRS?
If it’s not a good joke, something inside of us dies.
