  For the uninitiated: This is a Swenglish joke, a mistranslation of “It’s not the speed (fart) that kills, but the impact (smäll)”

  I know this is old, but it is a bit irksome that this post is titled “Fact of the day” when it can’t even keep its facts straight about which country does what.

  Those signs aren’t from Sweden. Our traffic agency (who prints the signs) doesn’t use ‘fart’ meaning ‘speed’ - except for ‘gångfartsområde’, ‘walking speed area’, which disappointingly enough doesn’t even have the text on it - but mainly uses ‘hastighet’ meaning ‘velocity’. Other commenters in this thread have posted examples of ‘fart’ in a different meaning being used on Swedish traffic signs.

  ‘Hastighet’ means velocity.

  And OP didn’t post the german one what I could see. I’m disappointed, I would have liked to see a line acknowledging that this as a crosspost/translation.

  Slightly off-topic, but you might find the latest video-essay from Contrapoints, Conspiracy, helpful.
