They are going to make an Icelandic Taskmaster. This post is my audition for the Taskmaster. Just look at this grumpy face!

Just imagine asking me to give you points for your pitiful attempt! No! You'll get 1 point and be grateful.

me, very grumpy

She hasn't been on an episode yet, we were just spectators at the live show, but I hope she will be on one day.

in the actual video there are examples of raspberry, tyttebær and strawberry jam on the side. raspberry is more flexible, hence the use as a gift.

Ólafur Waage @olafurw.com · 1d

Any jam can go on the side, by definition, tyttebær is just more common in savory dishes.

@geofftech.bsky.social your travel recommendation worked perfectly (of course)

Nah.

Ólafur Waage @olafurw.com · 2d

Better to get a multi use jam, to put on all the sides.

Ólafur Waage @olafurw.com · 2d

Was an honor. With jam on the side.

It's been said that you can judge a culture by the ads they have.

So tell me why most TikTok ads I see here in the UK are just baked beans.

When I do many takes, for some magical reason it's often either take 1 or the last take that I pick.

I love Māori and their Haka. It's culture, passion, humanity, history, respect and fierceness all rolled up into one.

There are two types of people.
- The ones that don't really celebrate their birthday
- The ones that have a birthday month
