    Explanation: While my knowledge of Norse mythology is a little sparse, to my understanding, the Norse (also sometimes colloquially referred to as ‘Vikings’, though that formally refers to warriors going raiding) had the best two afterlives of their mythology reserved for warriors who died in battle. No dying in bed for you, gramps! Grab an axe, or you go to the BORING afterlife!

      While all that is true, I just wanted to add that the “best” afterlife they had was when they would battle and most likely die everyday but then come back alive for dinner, have a great feast, then repeat it again forever until the end of the world battle happened where then they all died forever.

      Norsemen are crazy
