More than just mildly interesting. Imagine going to your living room and seeing this.
- When you accidentally order your entire wishlist
  
  or got a very good deal on TEMU?
- Doesn’t even need to use those binoculars.
  
  Only a straightnocular
- alright world, I got a good sleep, had my cuppa and I'm ready to take on whatever you throw at me
  opens news / window
  .......
  
  Today their news window is their living room window
  
  Gets eardrums ruptured by fog horn
  
  :::shouting in Cypriot Greek:::
- Motherfuckers blocked the view. The owners must be mad.
  
  'Get out of the way, I'm trying to see that ship that crashed!'
You can't park there mate.
- I don't see a "no parking" sign
- G-Day Tarkin mate you can't park yer ship there mate
I found a source in English: https://witness.co.za/news/2025/05/22/norway-cabin-owner-snoozes-as-cargo-ship-runs-aground-outside/
- Helberg only discovered the unexpected visitor when a panicked neighbour who had rung his doorbell repeatedly to no avail gave up and called him on the phone.
  “The doorbell rang at a time of day when I don’t like to open,” Helberg told television channel TV2.
  Relatable
  
  Helberg says he did not wake up when the ship hit land a few meters away from the house.
  But we woke up to the neighbor loudly ringing the doorbell. He said: Haven't you seen the ship?
  It was quite absurd. When I looked out the window, there was a huge ship's bow there, says Helberg.
  Lol I love this guy
  
  Helberg, the hero of Trondheim. It's a warmish spring morning; how many of those do they get a year there? 20? Helberg is not gonna waste that.
Lucky for the company, they don't appear to have hit any trees
- Is Norway tree law brutal?
I was absolutely flummoxed until I scrolled down more. (Posts are usually in large mode)
I wonder what the salvage rights are in these casey.
Could have landed anywhere else on that empty shoreline but almost hit that tiny house. Shit sucks sometimes.
- I'd say it's the opposite of sucky that the house was missed
- Reminds me of /r/fuckyouinparticular on the other side, that must not be named
  Edit: found /c/fuckyouinparticular !fuckyouinparticular@lemmy.world
  
  /r/fuckyouinparticularalmost
- But Helberg is ok!
huh, the news is reporting on a lot of out of control boats recently, it seems.
- Well, once one makes big headlines, and clicks, the media realizes it's been a neglected source of revenue.
Oi da
- Fo da
Werebthey aiming for that home? It looks like the only one around
- Population density is about on the level of Finland, I live in the south of Finland, and houses on the coast like that with several hundred meters of no-one else around aren't that rare when you go even 5-10km fron the city centre.
  So I assume they aren't in Trondheim either.
  
  Well that was my point yeah, no one else around yet that ship is right on top of his house
Speed 2.5
- Willem Dafoe, call your office for another sequel. Didn't they drop an anchor on his character at the conclusion?
Ziggy, your ship came in!
