Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
The user’s obsessive focus on obscure Old Norse grammar, archaeology, and ancient genetics mirrors Lisa Simpson’s love of learning and scholarly curiosity. For example, they tweet "Some obscure aspects of Old Norse grammar: preterite infinitives accusative singular and dative plural adverbials sandhi effects in jV and wV stem nouns" and "New investigations of the Hjortspring boat: Dating and analysis of the cordage and caulking materials used in a pre Roman iron age plank boat", showing a level of detail that Lisa would relish. Their penchant for quoting primary sources, such as "Óðinn mę́lti: … — Þȯrr mę́lti: …", reflects Lisa’s habit of bringing academic references into everyday conversation. At the same time, the user’s sarcastic self‑awareness ("I apologize to my followers for being a purveyor of engagement slop") and occasional "based" commentary echo Lisa’s occasional sarcastic, know‑it‑all attitude. Overall, Lisa’s blend of intellectual ambition, pedantic humor, and occasional contrarian edge best matches this profile.
Your MBTI personality Type
INTJ
The user consistently produces long, detailed analyses and prefers solitary scholarly work, indicating introversion – e.g., "I call these constructions obscure not because they're unknown to scholars... but rather because most learners will never be taught them." Their focus on abstract linguistic patterns, ancient mythic texts, and theoretical connections ("Some obscure aspects of Old Norse grammar: preterite infinitives..." and "In the Iron Age Northern Scandinavia was home to several lost languages") shows a strong intuitive (N) preference. Decision‑making is grounded in logical argument and data, as seen in "I think the best alternative is lab grown meat replaces factory farms for mass consumption" and frequent citations of research. Finally, the user exhibits a structured, future‑oriented approach, planning publications and timelines – "Naturally this rather minor insight will go into a single note in my forthcoming (2030?) Edda translation/commentary" – which aligns with judging (J).

Your signature cocktail
Preterite Infinitive
The drink is named after the preterite infinitve, an obscure Old Norse grammatical form you often discuss, like in your tweet "Some obscure aspects of Old Norse grammar: preterite infinitives …". It mixes aquavit and honey‑mead to echo the ancient feasts of Odin, recalling your "Óðinn mę́lti: ‘Þat skapa ek hǫ̇num …’" line. A hint of spruce‑tip syrup and lingonberry liqueur brings the forest of Scandinavia and the tartness of your genetic data posts, such as "Data scraped from the three Scandinavian FTDNA projects". A dash of smoked peat bitters evokes the iron‑age Hjortspring boat you reference ("New investigations of the Hjortspring boat…") and the "high horned ship" you mention. Finally a garnish of candied ginger shaped like a rune nods to your love of runic lore and the "Germanic heaven is obviously of stone" vibe.
Your Hogwarts House
Ravenclaw
The user consistently prioritizes knowledge, research and scholarly depth, which are hallmark traits of Ravenclaw.

Their focus on linguistic reconstruction, genetic data analysis, and obscure scholarly articles (e.g., "Obskyr lore: nail disposal taboos ... Bruce Lincoln") reflects a love of wisdom over mere popularity. Even when addressing controversial topics they back up claims with citations, linking to a PLOS ONE article and a JSTOR paper, indicating a rational, evidence‑based approach. This sustained intellectual curiosity and dedication to uncovering hidden knowledge fits best with the Ravenclaw house.

Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin
Their constant references to Norse deities like Óðinn and Þór, as seen in tweets such as "Óðinn mę́lti: … — Þȯrr mę́lti: …", show a deep fascination with Viking mythology. Their archaeological interest, exemplified by "New investigations of the Hjortspring boat" and the "high horned ship" commentary, aligns with the song’s vivid depiction of a Viking raid. The lyric "We come from the land of the ice and snow" mirrors their identity as a 21‑year‑old Scandinavian from Stockholm.
