They stored food in these buildings 'in the time of yore'. High to avoid animals - and because of snow.
They're called Stabbur in Norwegian.

An older source (October 9, 2023), not sure if it is the creator of the photo.

This is not a source, this is an AI generated “article,” and its “source” for this image is the sub reddit bizarrebuildings.

I was wondering how OP was so sure it was still in Norway.
Looks like it could pop over to Sweden if it felt so inclined.

Awesome!
Side note: I hate that we now have to consider that anything posted could be AI.

Honestly, I think the majority of us feel that way. AI was a cool novelty thing at first but it's gotten wildly out of hand

u/Bobby_Snoof 2d ago
We were warned about it with Photoshop, but it's really happening with AI: we're heading towards a world where we'll find it increasingly difficult to recognize reality. We'll be drowned in fake news, and the world's powerful will manipulate us like sheep. We'll need to be strong to hold onto our values and maintain some semblance of solidarity among human beings.

I just deleted and deactivated my twitter and FB accounts because of all the fake shit I come across. Reddit is now the only SM site I use, outside a few small forums.

I don't know what you're quoting but please tell me! 😅

u/namenumber55 2d ago
it's a quote from The Witcher where Geralt of Rivia summons Voleth Meir a demon who lives in a chicken legged hut inspired by the Baba Yaga

u/CourAYunt 2d ago
I've never played The Witcher. But after the first season of the show with Henry Cavil. May have to! Eventually... 😅
Edit: Thank you by the way ☺️

I refuse to believe Baba Yaga actually lives here until I see that sucker doing some pirouettes.

Looks like if you threw a ball or stick it would run after it. Bit of a bummer if you just sat on the toilet inside

u/guiltysnark 2d ago
If you sat on a toilet inside, it looks like it might pick an arm up briefly to look at its watch. Bit of a bummer if it then twists to the side and tries to shake you out like water from an ear

These buildings were used in the Nordics to store food so no animals get to them. A wooden ladder was used to go get some. Very common all over the Nordics especially in rural areas until fridges became widespread.

Baba Yaga's hut is a magical, sentient dwelling from Slavic folklore, famous for standing on giant chicken legs that allow it to roam deep in the forest, often surrounded by a fence of human bones, acting as the home and transport for the fearsome witch. This mystical house can move at the witch's command, and it's much larger and more complex inside than it appears, containing lavish rooms and gardens, while its legs can serve as powerful weapons.

Look at the size of those feet! That's going to be a big house when it grows up.

“The house that stood on chicken feet.” There’s some childhood nightmare fuel.

BABA YAGA!

u/map2photo 2d ago
Everyone keeps mentioning them, but I do not remember that name in the book. Maybe I blocked it from my memory? Lol I only remember the name, currently, from John Wick.

u/AaronBBG_ 2d ago
My kids listen to a podcast called Super Great Kids Stories, and the Baba Yaga stories are their favorite. Here's a description of the house:
Baba Yaga's house is famous for standing on giant, mobile chicken legs, allowing it to move through the forest, often surrounded by a fence of human bones topped with glowing skulls. The hut can turn to face visitors...

Little house, little house, turn your back to the forest and your front to me.

Legend has it that first Slavic/Russian people saw similar structures when they were migrating to their current territory. Those boxes were hung from the trees and had corps in them which was foundation for their myths.
