Why is the korv med bröd always served with a cold bun in Sweden? 🥶🌭

The sausage is boiling. The bun? Cold. If not straight from the fridge.

Is it a tradition? A prank? IKEA’s fault? 🤣
I need answers! 😭

📲 Klarna is officially fed up with Sweden’s digital ID monopoly

After repeated outages in both Swish and BankID, including over 180 incidents just last year, Klarna’s founder says enough is enough.

🗣️ “The real issue isn’t Swish - it’s BankID. We need alternatives..” said Sebastian Siemiatkowski on X.

Right now, over 8.5 million people in Sweden rely on BankID for everything from payments to logging in. But with only one major provider, any glitch hits the entire country.

So Klarna is making moves. Not launching their own ID just yet but making it clear: change is coming.

💬 Would you trust an alternative to BankID? Or are we too locked into the system?

🚨 Strike warning at Systembolaget!

The union Unionen just announced a major strike that could affect up to 500 employees working at Systembolaget’s depots and HQ. That means deliveries to stores could stop, and shelves may start to empty fast.

The strike is planned to start June 10 at 05:00, unless a new agreement is reached.
 Unionen demands: ✅ Higher wages ✅ Shorter working hours ✅ Overtime pay for part-time workers

Their message? Equal rights and fair conditions or no deliveries.

🇸🇪 Sweden passed a new law: paying for sexual acts online is now illegal.

Even on platforms like OnlyFans.

Sanna Zentio, a 29-year-old content creator, says the law threatens her livelihood and her rights:
 🗣 “I have the right to my own sexuality and to sell it.”

She’s now considering leaving the country to keep her business running.
 Meanwhile, anti-trafficking group Talita supports the law, saying it protects vulnerable people from exploitation.

💬 The debate? Far from over.
 One side calls it empowerment - the other, digital exploitation.

Is it protection or a form of control?

👜 No more bag ban at concerts soon? Maybe. Maybe not.

Sweden just lowered the terror threat level. Now the police say they’ll review the controversial ban on bags at large events.

That includes concerts, football games and festivals where bags of any kind have been off-limits since 2023.

🚫 The rule sparked a lot of frustration. 📉 But with the risk level lowered, a new decision might be on the way. 📆 No date yet but the review starts immediately, police say.

For now? Still no bags allowed. But stay tuned.

🔴 Free HPV shots only until June 30 - for those born 1994–1999 💉

This one’s for the 90s babies 👇
 If you were born between 1994–1999 and haven’t gotten the HPV vaccine yet - you’ve got until June 30 to do it for free.

💡 It protects against several types of cancer - including cervical cancer. 💸 After June 30, it’ll cost around 6,000 SEK. 📍 You can get it at your local clinic, and in some cities, even at the cinema (yes, with a free movie ticket).

I did it myself two years ago - super fast, smooth, and not scary at all.

I will now get reminding dose after 3 years from taking the first one. The only condition was to fill health declaration form and make HPV self-test.

Info & booking ➡️1177.se (search “hpv vaccin”) or contact your nearest vårdcentralen or barnmorskemottagning 💪
 Don’t wait. This is your sign ✨
