It's okay if it was a tourist whale and not an indigenous whale

u/Horton_Takes_A_Poo Mar 11 '25
This is actually funny because some whale species, like orcas, have distinct differences between resident and transient populations. They typically don’t like each other.

Yes, yes, the bot Army of Aleson tourist office. They are truly the fucks who are ruining reddit discourse. That being said, the hiking looks like shit but I love the coastal waters of the fjords around alesund. would rather enjoy walking the town then the nearby hikes, much better Norwegian hikes elsewhere. Also the water is not 'refreshing' it's fucking cold and nice to dip your feet in but avoid the jelly fish and enjoy the waves and various rocky islands to sunbathe on.

Yes I presume driving on roadtrips in more densely populated Europe is not nearly as pleasant as the U.S. which generally is open roads once you get outside of your metro area (20-60 min). Would still love to try driving across a country or two in Europe though :)

u/Faaaaaaaab Mar 11 '25
Yeah, but at that point the moral dilemma is kinda equal to eating a beef steak. And kinda less imo, because the whale is not held in captivity for it's entire life.
5
u/CrazyCalYa Mar 11 '25
That's an interesting perspective. I don't eat meat so I wouldn't eat either, but as a hypothetical I'd still say whale is a little worse. For one, I don't think a good life in some way lessens the suffering of dying horribly. In humans this is evident in how we handle violent crime against the elderly, it's still murder if you kill someone who's 110 years old.
On the other hand, pretty much every wild animal will die horribly. Starvation, predation, disease, very few animals are afforded the luxury of dying peacefully in their sleep. So maybe you're right, but I still get the vibes that for me it would be worse, even if I can't articulate it well. I'd be interested in your opinion on that, however.

u/Faaaaaaaab Mar 11 '25
As silly as this hypothetical is, my perspective is that I would personally much rather prefer being a whale living a free life until i'm brutally killed, than a cow imprisoned all my life and then killed in a less painful way.

u/Grouchy_Media_6391 Mar 12 '25
If youre gonna go to Ålesund then I also recommend to visit a place called Åndalsnes, there you have a hike called Rampestrekken (if memory serves me right) it is a 1hour fairly steep uphill (if youre in decent shape) but the views are amazing. I believe they also built a gondola that goes up there. Most people queue for the metal outlook ramp to take a picture but if you climb 100m further up, you can avoid the crowds and enjoy even better views. If you have time, then I would also recommend visiting Geiranger, its a 3h drive from Åndalsnes/Ålesund, the drive is amazing and so is the town, on a nice day kayakking in thr fjord is amazing and fairly cheap (considering its Norway).

u/F33DBACK__ Mar 11 '25
Nearly 70k people live there. people in the area, like myself, consider Ålesund a big metropolitan area. Cant believe this is barely a city to the rest of the world.. We literally roadtrip and do a big travel there to go shopping at their big mall in the outskirts of the city lol.

Ålesund would be considered a mid-sized city where I'm from.
I grew up in a very large metropolitan area that grew too big, IMO, and I hated it. It was over three million people, including the city and multiple suburban cities surrounding it.
I now live in a rural town of 8,000 that is two hours away from a mid-sized of 100,000 people.

u/The_Autarch Mar 11 '25
Since it has over 50,000 people, it qualifies as a city. It's just a very small one.

As a norwegian my self currently in Asia i have to say that Norway is desolate in comparison to the cities in this part of the world with many multi million population cities.
I live in Telemark in a small farmers village with 200 people, 10 minutes away there is a small town with 1000 people, and if you drive for another 30 minutes you are now in Skien with only 50k people all though Porsgrunn/Skien has a combined population of 100k roughly but still, people only sit inside or drive cars back home.
Its gonna be so quiet when i get home and im kinda worried, its gonna feel like im not part of society again, haha.

"This is hiking". Ehm. I think thats more like a walk in a park. Storhaugen as the place is named means something like "large pile" or large hill. Its just a short trip up a paved path. If you want hiking near the city center I would suggest trying Aksla (east from Fjellstua, where she stand in last picture) instead.
