You're right, I mistook it for BSW. My bad.

This might be too late since it circulated a lot, but the 'Hanga Dýra Mingja' part isn't actually 'Hanga Dýra Mingja'. It supposedly was old Icelandic but it makes no sense grammatically and the word Mingja does not exist in Old Icelandic. It's more likely to be 'Hangatýr Hamingja´ and then after chanting that a couple of times they say 'Ramr'. It makes more sense since it is a healing song, Hangatýr is Óðinn who is mentioned in the Merseburg incantations, Hamingja is Luck and Good Fortune in Old Norse, as well as a sort of guardian spirit, kind of. Ramr is strength in Old Norse. So really they are chanting ''Hanging God, Spirit of Fortune (bring) Strength'' Makes sense calling on them for healing, rather than hanging animals, I guess

Goes kind of like this

Hangatýr Hamingja
Hangatýr Hamingja
Hangatýr Hamingja
Hangatýr Hamingja
Hangatýr Hamingja Raaaaaaaaammmmmmmmrrrr!

This could also be a great textbook example of social conditioning. Women and men self-perpetuating gender stereotypes and acting weirded out when they're being violated.

Oh. It's the onion. Didn't realize until well after deep into comments.

How many fucking n-words are there?!

What do all those asterisk and numbers mean? I feel like I'm missing a key to decode that.

Edit: Damn, that little post lead to an actual TIL moment. I'm actually going to copy all your answers for future reference, since I enjoy etymology and get into contact with these symbols a lot. Thanks, everyone!

That feels like murder.

Everything is a slur. It's not about the word, it's about intention and usage. Everyone who is fine with idiot but gets karen-y at retard does not care about people of reduced intelligence but only about oppressing those around him and making himself feel superior.

So far I've checked several "getting started"'s and FAQ's and Google and everyone just tells me that it's possible but nobody tells me fucking WHERE. So obviously I'm in need of help. Preferably with a diagram or colourful pictures.

Edit: Okay, so old.lemmy.world doesn't seem to have been updated to allow instance blocking. Did it on the vanilla UI, thanks for everyone who rubbed my face into it! Appreciate the help. <3
