Short version: they looked a lot more like HEYAYA than yes-chad . Most accounts of Vikings that are contemporary of the centuries where shield-Danes and spear-Danes went "a-Viking" describe distinctly hygenic people that bathed and took care of their hair (and wore it long).

EDIT: I thought I could have a little fun with a very loosely associated Beowulf reference to Danes (and even more loose associations with Geats therein too) but I got the reddit-logo berdly-actually experience for doing so. ok

They didn't have Hitler Youth fades with lazy and sloppy beard fusions. Period. Full stop. Stop doing that. Looking right the fuck at you too, P R E S T I G E T V. disgost
