Hello everyone from Sweden! You may get annoyed with us Americans, so do I. But I have a lot of ancestry from Sweden and I'm very interested to meet some of you and learn more about Sweden in general. Music, food, pop culture, slang. All of it.

I play video games (of course) and love space and science. I'd love to make a discord and get to know some of you, maybe play some games on steam as well.

Since this is reddit, you may already be exposed to much American media and culture, but I can offer to teach you anything you'd like about America or explain any current events over here as well.

Nice to meet all of you in advance, adjö!

"300 years is a long time in America, 300 miles is a long way in Europe"

300 English miles (50 Swedish miles) is not particularly long in Sweden, though. We're 1000 English miles (160 Swedish miles) from south to north.

So many of us do seek our ancestry out of pure curiosity and it drives learning worldly knowledge and cultures hopefully.

Most of us have a bunch of great great uncles and great great aunts that emigrated, indeed. And my great grandmother emigrated when she was an infant, but they moved back home after some years (my great great aunt was an American citizen all her life by Amendment XIV, Section 1, Clause 1 and was called "Amerikanskan" even though she had no memory of ever been in America).
