Why are we discussing them?

Anybody does that these days and it’s just all negative press and wokeism.
Great seamen, navigators, warriors but their decline was a result of Olaf ordering 50000 helmets which arrived with the horns on the inside.

I don’t know for sure where he order his “helmets” from, but
I heard that he brought his first one from Amazon that had the “horns” on the inside:

Since then he stuck to this model, with the “horns” clearly on the outside.
Never heard of “Oluf”?
