This is prompted by Trump saying "Norway has become a shithouse country, actually" after he was not awarded the Nobel prize for peace.

Norwegians are honorary Australians apparently, we love a good shithouse.

Just the fact that the level of politics dropped this low and this is being celebrated is something that makes me feel that we are on a 100% downward slope on our civilizational collapse with no turning back. How tf the most powerful country on earth became such an openly corrupted clownshow?

Trump got confused and said shithouse (which makes no sense) instead of shithole, his original term for basically any non-white country.

India please kindly follow. Indians peeing on the roads should be put in the prisons for life.

Few in Europe can afford visiting these "free" Norwegian restrooms.

That's some good shit right there!

It is amazing what you can do with oil money.

This reminds me of Rick's secret pooping spot in Rick and Morty

Best public restroom density I've ever had was in Japan. Every corner you can find a toilet. So relaxing when you are traveling.

This is the problem with HN not doing humor. You are always the one who does not grok it... "Trump calls Norway a ‘shithouse country’" - https://www.euronews.com/video/2026/10/27/trump-calls-norway...

Really loving such responses to POTUS, I hope they don't spend too much of our tax money on addressing his childishness though, although, in PR this probably has good ROI :)

I hiked Norwegian fjords above Bergen a couple of times in the past, highly recommend it if you ever get a chance. Also: Norway has one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world, valued at $2.2 trillion; over 50% are investments in US assets; close to $200 billion in US Treasury securities; and is a major shareholder in US corporations, especially across the tech sector. So well done Norway, this is how you deal with clowns, not debate or argue on social media, but rub their face in your pure awesomness.

No way you could have those in North America -- people would ruin them. Which is a shame because they are pretty place to be a king/queen for a bit.

Meanwhile in London we have public... urinals. Just a few minutes from the city center. People urinating in the open. Opposite to where my wife goes to dancing classes. UK is really fucking abysmal sometimes.

Well, that's a pretty good ad from Visit Norway: now I'd really like to visit. In fact, if they weren't so damn rich and everything so expensive compared to my Southern European way of live, I'd consider moving there just to enjoy the gorgeous nature.

Back in the 1980s, The Miami Herald's "Tropic Magazine" ran a couple of competitions for most scenic outhouse in the world. (That is, an outhouse with a great view, which is different than finding ones which are architectural masterpieces.) I can find no trace of those results online. Perhaps someone here has better success?
