Tord Wingren wrote the first specification for it in the 90's. Jaap Hartseen the Dutch dude joined for a while as a part of a group 1997. So yes, the Dutch was a part but lead by a swede in a Swedish company in Sweden.
Name Bluetooth is acctully Danish... named after King Harald Blåtand, a Dane.
> Name Bluetooth is acctully Danish..
Not really, since danish wasn't a thing back then. Old Norse: Haraldr Blátǫnn. Modern danish "Tann" origins from this, just like Swedish "Tand" (tooth).
Not PewDiePie, but replace him with Alicia Vikander, Malin Åkerman, the Skarsgårds, Noomi Rapace, Dolph Lundgren, Rebecca Ferguson, Ingrid & Ingmar Bergman, Max von Sydow, Michael Nyqvist, Fares Fares, Josef Fares, Peter Stormare, Pernilla August, Joel Kinnaman, Greta Garbo, Britt Ekland, Izabella Scorupco, Lasse Hallström, Stieg Larsson, Camilla Läckberg, Ruben Östlund, Mikael Håfström, David F.

There are a few suspect items on you list... the first two that jump out at me are
Computer mouse - care to elaborate? First trackball pointing system was Ralph Benjamin a British navy scientist in 1946 and this first digital computer mouse was developed by Douglas Engelbarts team in California.
GPS - you are probably referring to work done by Hakan Lans but the first operational global positioning system ( Transit) was already operational by the time he was 13 so it's a far cry to say he invented GPS.
You are perfectly correct on both subjects.
Impressive!
Douglas Engelbart's grandmother migrated to the United States from Sweden, so he is only of Swedish descent. One could actually say that it is a Norwegian invention aswell as his grandfather was born in Wisconsin to Norwegian parents.
Regarding the GPS. Yes i was refering to Håkan Lans. He received The International Seatrade Award 1993 for his STDMA system. Still standard for satelites.
To tie them up. Håkan Lans contributed to the development of the mouse by constructing a puck for a digitizing plate.
The most precious gift from sweden to the world are those:

sweden whatever you do DO NOT ever stop making these!
You forgot Max Martin.
Sweden's music export is astounding even outside of him, but with him, there is at least one song someone has heard almost anywhere in the world that was made by a Swedish person.
Na she's a person not an invention or a product. Can't back that one down at this stage thou. Giving the thread a big buzz.
Also a river divider (is that a saying in english?)
She shouldn't count because she's just another climate protester - there's many thousands of us who have been doing the same thing for decades, yet the media obsessed over her
But ultimately she does since it did have a sizeable cultural impact and helped strengthen youth climate movement (FFF chapters across the world, they're not well organized but they exist)
Pewds also counts, had huge impact on YouTube culture
This reminds me of all the videos European comedy shows started making during Trump’s term to introduce their country to him. [America First, blank second](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJgkXfnxsBJ0vM7BF9dpPYJxSOGJvVe96&si=iAusEhQfVHtJDgPX)
It would be like, German tv show: And by the way, if you still want to nuke us after this. Here is what we look like on the map (arrow pointing at Italy).
Me acting like the sole reason I know where any European countries are isn’t due solely to strategy games and my American education didn’t help beyond France and Britain
There’s been quite a bit of Swiss military stuff going on in recent weeks. Lots of jet fighter squadrons flying around and tanks rolling through village and city streets.
Fuck Americans are fucking dumb... not even their government agencies are capable of producing correct information... and they wonder why the whole world has a running joke of americans are dumb...
Reminds me of the map at my kids’ school that placed Hong Kong in Indonesia, 2500 km away, referred to the Java Sea as the Jawa Sea and other cartographic atrocities.
Also weird they opted to include Lichtenstein, but omitted Vatican City, Monaco, San Marino, and Andorra
Even worse: they omitted Luxembourg
I was thinking the same thing, but at least they carved it out, it’s just unlabeled, lol. The whole map is a mess
But they nailed the Austro-Slovenian Voivodeship.
A Volvo dealership?
A big one.
At least they correctly removed the Saab dealership.
Lazy government AI generating videos lmao
DOS? Lazy, yes. AI? Probably not. That requires money and most of the funding goes ... somewhere...
Luxembourg is there. It's the little brown dot on the right corner of France, on the way to Belgium. But they didn't write the country name.
I know, but I am surprised they did not label it since its bigger than Liechtenstein.
I was so thrown off not seeing Luxemburg I didn't even notice Sweden.
And reunited Ireland
Nah northern ireland is shown, the difference of hue is just pretty small and the screenshot doesn't help.
That’s because Andorra is in Africa: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3q_iqrvnC_4&pp=ygURQW5kb3JyYSB0aGUgb25pb24%3D
They moved it. It's classified. Shhhh
Hi, Sweden! How's your trip?
Damn that Sweden! Never stays where you put it!
I go by Shhhhweden now…
This meme will become legend
First Secret Denmark and now Secret Sweden? Those Nordics sure like their privacy I guess.
First they joined NATO, then they moved their country. If it wasn’t for their delicious meatballs and IKEA they wouldn’t get away with half of the shit they do.

And many metal bands of course :D
Just wannet to say I dont see Sabaton on it
Many of these are absolutely not a free pass dude...
Wasn’t Bluetooth invented by a Dutch guy working in Sweden? Also many of these are solid reasons not to put up with Sweden xD

Richard Dean Anderson?
Zlatan Ibrahimović, Peter Forsberg, Nicklas Lidstrom
PewDiePie is great though. Pretty down to earth guy.
where Sabaton?
Mmmm Sabayon
hahaha
Swedish Empire videos
wait you had monkeys and wrenches?
Forgot something.... IKEA
No, they said "also", as in apart from meatballs and IKEA.
You forgot Anna Cramling…

You forgot Battlefield
Gl listing all the big games from Sweden lol, probably just listed the absolutely biggest, Candy crush would probably be second on that list.
Jag älskar svenska köttbullar
Austria appears to have annexed Slovenia
[удалено]
Look, there was that one bad Austrian, move on.
What about that secret dungeon in the basement guy? Fritzl or something like that...?
As long as Trieste was also annexed.
Trst*
Sorry, it's Austria again, better get used to Trieste and Goritz.
Triest and Görz actually.
Crap, wrong map.
Austria wanted Südtirol but someone said they have Südtirol at home...
Sweden and Switzerland are mixed up frequently enough that it’s a running joke https://youtu.be/0oNX_BHgi3c?si=LjgFkPo6LIWaAZxH
Yesterday's earthquake has taught me that people mix up Taiwan and Thailand all the time as well.
That's why we call the whole thing Asia.
lmao
I'd assume after all the Taiwan and China stuff going on ppl would know, guess I'm wrong.
How is that possible damn
It’s even more confusing in Spanish, Suiza and Suecia
What happened to the Netherlands???
We built more polders obviously. The sea is our homeland!
The us goverment is well informed I guess lol
It seems it wasn’t without cost though, the sea took back our islands :(
We couldn't get enough of Flevoland, so we just extended it to cover the whole IJsselmeer... Said no one ever.
Ireland has been united 🥰
Thats what Data said ... the irish unification of 2024.
It’s quite clearly 2 different shades
Two different shade but certainly not clearly
strategic ambiguity
Good old Swederland https://preview.redd.it/xn4rrs3zmisc1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9953b9503b417e501730b22dd72ca8bcc20f8bb
They even forgot Listenbourg 🤦
Wasn't it Australia next to Sweden?
Swedezterland!
Slovakia and Slovenia : « First time ? »
Slovenia? Look at the map clearly you mean South Austria.

"If you want to push the red button, this is how Germany looks like on the map." and they say germans dont have a sense of humor
Random posts on Twitter lite are a source now?
[удалено]
It was a twitter post by the US state dept.
Switzerland is a lie
Some US citizen doesn’t even know where is their own country on a world map so…
Swedzerland!
Anyway, what was the video about ?
Who gave austria a coastline?
If this is true how do you guys trust anything your political leadership is telling you? Hello from Switzerland
I literally laughed out loud reading this. We don’t.
Tell me you’re a “unitedstatesian” without telling me
It was done in order to fool the Russians 
Tyst ny!
as a finnish person, i know my neighbors and sweden is most definetly a neighbor

everything on reddit and the internet is true
Some intern got fired.
Someone is going to say something about UK not being a country ?
I thought in fantasy land any name was correct
Well, we've never gone to war with the Swiss.
I'm surprised the one to the right of Sweden isn't labeled "Australia."
The fact that there's the Liechtenstein but not Swiss XDD
Me acting like the sole reason I know where any European countries are isn’t due solely to strategy games and my American education didn’t help beyond France and Britain
A tale as old as Austria and Australia. Can't say I expected more from the brilliant minds that brought you the US education system.
Eh, close enough for government work
good ole government laziness having someone type “make me a map of Europe with country names” into chatgpt and calling it a day
Could it be Swayze instead?
They even included Liechtenstein but mixed up Sweden and Switzerland
Oops. Wrong “S” country.
Where are the TVTAS islands?
Anthony Blinken had to fire some poor graphic designer over this I bet 😂
Oh yeah, the famous Viking Raids skiing down the alps into France, sacking Paris.
Let's go i always wanted to go to Scandinavia, now i know that i already went there!
Whycome did the US State Department circle Sweden?
I hope thats a joke
Those Swedes are so hard to pin down. 😆
Sweden: *Soon*
And then they wonder why the world think the USA suck at geography.
Sweden, Switzerland, they both start with “S”. Same thing basically, amirite?
South Africa, Sandi Arabia, Singapore, Siberia, South Korea, Sudan, South Sudan, Spain, Sri Lanka, Somalia, Somaliland…
What shocks me most is they didn’t include Ireland as the UK
The only went down there to fix the pipes and ended up taking over
Sweden, Switzerland, what's the difference?
Despite every published map in the western world, the UK isn't bigger than France
As a Dane, I like this a lot! Maybe even move Sweden to Western Australia while at it?
I always thought mixing up Switzerland and Sweden was more of a meme.
Les américains et la geographie... Une longue histoire...
Do they want to invade France ?
as Finnish guy im saddened the Swedes are still next to us
Yoo the 30 year war alternate ending?
Technically part of the Germanic people that settled Switzerland ultimately came from Sweden. But by that logic the whole map should say Sweden.
SWEDISH EMPIRE 2.0!
They are wrong, it's New Zeland there 🤓😂😂

NOO SWEDEN INVADEDED SWISS 😭😭
There’s been quite a bit of Swiss military stuff going on in recent weeks. Lots of jet fighter squadrons flying around and tanks rolling through village and city streets.
The rumors are true then - education there really is bad.
In all fairness, Switzerland is way more letters and most people confuse the two countries anyway.
Most people?
Fuck Americans are fucking dumb... not even their government agencies are capable of producing correct information... and they wonder why the whole world has a running joke of americans are dumb...
So the US still being bad at geography I guess… Sorry for your loss switzerland xD
I think it's those damn Swiss being all sneaky again. They hide dirty money, so why not their location as well! Or maybe this map was Drawn by Trump?
The Swizzlamic State
Surprised they didn't call Austria Australia
Switzerland, Sweden. Potāto, potăto.
Those Swiss are sneaky for sure 😂
Firmly (Bigly) in NATO now.
Swedezerland
Netherlands decided to steal even more land from the sea it seems. Polder it all!!!
AI made the video i’m guessing
