Ay! We love sled-things here. Many different kinds. Do not try the one that looks slightly like two skis and a wheel, though.. Pain.

How tho. The ones we buy always break.

Jag gissar inhemsk tillverkning av vapenskölden under varumärket att döma. Hammarplast kanske. Tidigt 80-tal.

I made a sled out of downhill skis, 1/2 in galvanized pipe, and a plank of wood. Its nearly indestructible compared to everything you can buy.

I’ve lived in the south for much of my life (west of the Mississippi to be sure). I have literally never heard that.
I personally just call them my “knit hats” or “knit caps” if I’m feeling randy. Everyone else around me call them “beanies”

The commenter attempted to use two em dashes kind of like parentheses for a quick informative aside.
If your comment was an attempt at humor, I recommend entertaining only yourself next time. Reddit has become clogged with unfunny halfwitted quips that add nothing to the user experience other than having to wade through them all for the good stuff.

I mean, I get the em dash thing... but that doesn't really have anything to do with my comment. Unless I'm missing something.
There is a - in front of 100F making it negative 100F to 0F. Then -- comes after the 0F separating the temps and then finishing their sentence with 'and'.
​
Apparently Reddit doesn't like jokes - but what they wrote is negative 100F to 0F. Which is why I made my joke.

Intersport, Biltema, Stadium etc is surely the lowest quality you can possibly find.

Some people are used to typing em dashes by using two hyphens since common word processing software will autocorrect two hyphens into an em dash

It is a common typing convention to use two hyphens in place of an em dash if that does not come standard on the keyboard. Word processing software will sometimes correct two hyphens into an em dash. That is how I type them at work.

Reply to Micronta Alarm Clock from early 80s (maybe '83?). Has a blaring alarm that will wake you up for sure. [Not sure if I am using right flair.] by i-pity-da-fool
Oh that sound 😂 I got a clock radio so I could wake up gently to music instead.

Clearly you live near a hill with no trees to run into. I remember that even old sleds with metal frames were destroyed by hitting something. Or when someone built a ramp

Terrible plastic is terrible, excellent plastic is excellent. Exactly the same as various metal alloys.
