I (a non-Swede) went to Malmö last last year in late August, and found this archived video I recorded. Can someone please explain to me what these people are doing?

This looks like it could be part of an “initiation”/”hazing”, (nollning in Swedish) for Highschool.

Nollning
emarix on
That is probably what we call “nollning”, an “initiation” or “rite of passage” of new students at university. Very common in university cities in late August.

Initiations, probably for students of University of Malmö.

Don’t worry. It’s our annual Swedish human centipede. It’s all good and fun in the end (pun intended). Please enjoy our country.

This is most likely a “nollning” that most people write here. Usually done the week before school(university) start. It is made for the new students to get to know each other and build friendships with each other. The method behind it is that older students should have authority and give the students tasks that usually is embarrassing and group them together. By doing this the new students start to build a grudge against the older students and therefore get together as a team working together. Lots of parties and good times.
Great way to get new friends after moving to the other side of the country with not knowing anyone beforehand.
(Altough, this looks sloppy. If it is done well, there is no “harm” made to the students, like making them crawl through dirty water)

Pre-combat ritual before invading Denmark again.

Contrary to most others I think this is initiation for a high school, most university’s have stopped with humiliation, it’s still a large problem in high schools.
I was a university student at Uppsala and didn’t hear about anything near this degree of humiliation.

The hazing in swedish universities is just the wierdos with inferiority complexes messing with the new freshmen. It’s asinine and embarrassing. Let’s just say it’s not the most fuckable people that haze the freshmen.
Also anyone with confidence and self-respect don’t take part.

Its a summoning. A ritual blood sacrifice must be made in the local town fountain so a small halmbock can be selected and grow to become the great gävlebocken in time for christmas.

A friend just sent me this and It’s actually people from my school and I did that last year aswell (it was horrible but fun). It is students doing Initiaions/hazing (or swedish Nollning). It’s not university students but first year students from Malmö Latinskola (Malmö Latin School) which is a swedish Secondary School here in Malmö. I can see that it is students from Malmö Latinskola because of our recognizable yellow school merch that the second year students are wearing in the clip. I probably know some of the people in the video 🙂

They’re lubing and spicing them up for the annual human centipeding to take place.
