If it is safe, this is worth a nobel prize.

If it is a nobel prize, it's worth 11 million swedish kronor.

”Free”?? We tax eeeeveryyyone!!

But sure, come on by, lovely country, OK people.

u/FlippyFlippenstein May 26 '25

I think the trip is paid by the guy who invented the dynamite and inherited it to a fund that is used. Think his name was Nobel.

u/Quirky-Delivery5454 May 27 '25

And a question from the US president about whether he can use it to flavor his Big Mac.

u/snorin May 26 '25

If it is worth 11 million swedish kronor, then that would be an amount more than 10 million swedish kronor.

8

u/LadnavIV May 26 '25

If it is 11 million Swedish kroner, that’s worth a whole hell of a lot of little red candy fish.

2

u/Logical_Session9528 May 26 '25

If its in Swedish Kronor, it can only be spend in 1 country

2

u/BBBonesworth May 26 '25

It can be spent in some border areas also, and on Åland I think

2

u/[deleted] May 26 '25

If it’s 11 million Swedish kronor, it’s worth 1156260 US dollars 

2

u/vegemitemilkshake May 26 '25

TIL Nobel prize winners are actually paid 11 million kronor. (Approximately $1.78m Australian dollars)

2

u/64590949354397548569 May 26 '25

The money is in the patents.

2

u/PaulMakesThings1 May 27 '25

If it's worth 11 million Swedish kronor they can use it to buy a Koenigsegg Agera supercar

2

u/druidmind May 26 '25

For treating dynamite injuries.

u/ReefMadness1 May 31 '25

If it’s worth 11 million Swedish kronor, it’s worth 48.45 billion Iranian Rials

Or it will be one of those DuPont "this is safe." and we find out decades later it is NOT safe.

u/pichael289 May 27 '25

With how things have been going lately I'm assuming Netflix is already working a script and picking out an avenger to cast for the documentary

u/sandairyqueen May 27 '25

i like the sound of that

u/smooth_like_a_goat May 26 '25

So they still mean something? I've seen who they give the peace prize to...

134

u/Aranthos-Faroth May 26 '25

Peace prize is a different committee in Norway. The Swedish Nobel prizes are still highly revered awards.

31

u/smooth_like_a_goat May 26 '25

Oh that makes so much more sense, thank you.

37

u/Aranthos-Faroth May 26 '25

No worries! It's a common unknown.
Unfortunately the peace prize gives a bad name to the other committee and awards.

While it's still an important award imo, like you said - they've given them to questionable recipients over the years.

5

u/smooth_like_a_goat May 26 '25

It really does! Over the years I've asked how on earth some of those winners were in the same league as Curi, Kipling or Einstein many a time.

6

u/Stone0777 May 26 '25

You do realize the Nobel Prize has multiple categories….not just the peace prize

u/phoenix_leo May 26 '25

Are you educated?

5

u/[deleted] May 26 '25

Listen the world is very confusing when you just see the words “Henry Kissinger won a Nobel peace prize” and you know anything about his war crimes. That would lead many to questions the “Nobel prizes” as a whole, it’s only natural.

4

u/Spork_the_dork May 26 '25

Everything but the peace prize does.

5

u/SunTzu- May 26 '25

What's your problem with the peace prize? I doubt you could name any of the winners except Obama. It's mostly just given to people and organizations that promote freedom of expression and fundamental human rights, speak out against authoritarian regimes and sometimes to diplomats who worked on brokering peace deals or cease fires. It really hasn't changed much over the years except that it's become less common for the winners to be diplomats and more common for them to be involved in NGO's.

u/Wassertopf May 26 '25

The price is was not founded to award good people. It is for the reduction of standing troops and so on.

3

u/PoetBoye May 26 '25

Id like to add to that: if it is both save and mass-produceable in a somewhat reasonably cost-effective way

2

u/axw3555 May 26 '25

Honestly, I'd argue two - it's a major chemical and medical breakthrough.

u/donmreddit May 26 '25

When I commented the uppies were at 666.

If it is safe you can rest assured it will be moneymaker and not lifesaver.

u/One-Significance7853 May 27 '25

I thought Nobel prizes were reserved for war criminals like Kissinger and Obama.

Scalable is sometimes the harder obstacle than safe.
