My Yule boasting! I am going be less judgmental and critical. This weighs on me heavily so it’s definitely a more Herculean task for me than it might be for someone else 😊
Hmm … this is going to need more thought or more brain altering substances … perhaps both … let me get back to you on this …
Technically you have till next 12/31
The “more thought” is a barrel of mead of course!
And an ounce of weed, but that was already there
A bunch of extrovert idiots. That’s what that party is for.
I’d much rather have a glass of bubbly at home with friends and then everyone goes their own way and I enjoy a book or something.

Every time a shirt is torn off voluntarily is a good time.
And mongoloid is an old racist term.
You realize we’re talking about a viking tradition here
As if tradition was ever a good excuse for poor behaviour.
Do you think insulting people for how they choose to entertain themselves is not poor behavior? Are you 74?
People should be insulted if they’re clearly stupid enough to think tearing shirts and yelling in the name of tradition is a good time.

Ok, here I go: I will finally hit the gym, find someone to love, get a better job, learn to play an instrument, become a more patient and confident person, read the books I’ve bought, play the games I’ve bought, learn a new language, spend more time with people I care about, try LSD, start a master’s degree and do something about my receding hairline. Good luck, future me.
I’m getting out of my comfort zone
Ooh - I’ll do an impossible one:
“I will be able to afford a house on double the median household income for my region”
Let’s not go crazy. Stick with the god dick punching thing.
In 2025 I am going to steal slood from the gods for mankind. This will fix everything.
hilarious, but Google search for the term only shows this Tumblr post, and there’s no equivalent term in Swedish that I know of. But we should make it a tradition anyways.
this year i’m going to invent the term in swedish
I believe this refers to Heitstrenging.
The Wikipedia page doesn’t seem to mention the craziness of the oaths to the point of gods, but seems to be more about boastful things people would actually try to do. From the above link:
Heitstrengingar took place at Yule and other sacrificial feasts, weddings, arvals, and banquets and often acted as a form of bragging and promising the performance of an often great feat.
Which seems to have been extrapolated on a bit for the post.
In 2025 I’m going to get a good night’s sleep every night. Further, I will wake feeling rested and ready to take on the world
I will wake feeling rested
Depending on your situation, a sleep study and CPAP could help with that.
Been there, doing that. I love and hate my cpap.
It changed my life. I hate it, but I’d be dying without it.
Damn, look at this guy going right to the “bending the laws of the universe” boasts.
And you will wake up early in the morning too, compatible with society
Soooo…a typical New Year’s resolution then.
I’m going to shoot every billionaire in the face. With a bazooka.
🎵there goes my hero🎶
Everyone cheers
Swoons
I’m going to finish all the games in my steam library
You have to finish within the year.
I just logged into my humble bundle account & looked at all the codes I haven’t redeemed yet…
What was that about altering the laws of physics, time and the universe?
Realizes I’d need at least 4 years, if I finished a game a day… I need to stop buying games.
Sir that’s over 1k what the fuck.
Our 4 buddy family group has less games combined sir.
Sir you need to stop.
I also liked the idea of New Year’s bingo, things you’d enjoy doing the next year and then seeing if you get bingo/s.
But nah. In 2025 I’m going to start a company that will cheaply generate near-unlimited clean energy from greenhouse gases, pollutants, and (only discarded) plastics. I will install it for free and provide the energy at something like 10% of oil/coal equivalent. By threatening to turn it off, I’ll extort those in power to stop wars (yup, within the year) and obey the experts on how to improve the wellbeing of the bottom 10-50% in individual countries and globally.
Im going to break a chunk off Jupiter and bring it into Earth’s orbit so we have a second moon!
I’m going to evenly microwave a Hot Pocket.
You should settle for something more realistic like punching god in the taint
