Today's BSOD, from a reader who adopted the suffix "half a Swede", but is sadly not called "Eric" (for all those [1]Monty Python fans out there) comes from the Swedish city of Malmö.
Sweden's third largest city, Malmö is home to all manner of retail delights including the [2]Triangeln mall.

The mall, which at the time of writing remains open for business since the Swedish government's ban on gatherings of more than 500 people [4]does not apparently apply to shopping emporiums , is home to a wide variety of outlets, including BikBok , Bjørg of Scandinavia and the compulsory Flying Tiger .
BSOD beef bork merchants McDonald's are also present, but today's serving is front, centre and hanging over the entrance to the shopping centre itself.
Never has the new BSOD imagery seemed somehow so appropriate. If only one could switch the word "PC" for "World" to complete the effect.
Who knows what will happen when that counter reaches 100 per cent?
There is no word from our reader on how the shoppers reacted to the borkage.
As for the Vultures at El Reg ? We'd order in from a Triangeln retailer called Döner Kebab and would hopefully be able to drown our sorrows in delicious steaming mystery meat. Assuming the Swedish grub emporium serves anything like the delights available in our nearby Kebab House .
Inconceivable. ®

Sending in pictures of crashed Windows computers these days is on about the same level as trainspotting.
It was funny the first time, you know, back in 1995. Not so much these days.
(A down vote means you're triggered enough to agree with me.) ;)
Why piss on other people's parades? If you don't like it, skip ahead. And that stuff about being triggered? Very puerile indeed.
It's not like this is stealing your precious airtime.
Malmö
Dangerous Place. Infested with Mafia, Guns & Explosions (not to mention Coronavirus).
I thought Börk
was from Iceland.
Re: I thought Börk
That’s Björk. Named after the sound you want to make when she sings.
St Peter's
What has St Peter got to do with anything?

He's the patron saint of software crashes.
A møøse once bit my sister...
...but didn't that happen in Norway?
Run Away!
Møøse bites can be nästi.
Shops say it all...
"... a wide variety of outlets, including BikBok, Bjørg of Scandinavia ..."
BigBork, Bork of Scandinavia

You wouldn't if you click on the "Restauranger" link on the website. It's kebab internals served neatly on a plate! No pita bread! With a side bowl of "dip".
Major food børk.
Re: We'd order in from a Triangeln retailer called Döner Kebab
So more traditional then. Sounds good to me. ;)
Bork again
Last time BSOD happened on exactly the same screen late last year, it was also zoomed 300%
Thumbs down to all the canned opinions about 'dangerous' Malmo

Agreed, from one who's been there and happily explored many times. That being said, the southern Swedes are extremely down on it too...

Agree. While Brits and Americans fight for the first place, the bronze medal in bashing Malmo is indisputably Swedish.
To put alarming news reports into context, most continental Europeans have barely heard of the place.
Bah!
I thought Malmo had burned to the ground months ago. I'm almost certain I heard that from a trusted source somewhere ...
My swedish friend says:
"If you have a bike in Malmo, you don't"
Funnest thing I've ever heard her say.
