97% of the time, the average car just sits in the parking space, taking up space not being used.

I guess you can say something similar applied to balconies. They are probably being used, but only a small portion of the day.

Something Americans don't know about is that streets were shared spaces between pedestrians, cars, bikes, everything. Then cars got a bigger role and pushed everyone else to sidewalks. Then bars and restaurants also wanted part of that space for outdoor serving. Now pedestrians, bikes, bars/restaurants, bus stops, e-scooters and parking spaces, advertising signs, and trees share the side walk, which in turn has become much more narrow because of car lanes..

Cactus, cloth hanger, and a salt mill. Three different bars, same night. Another night my friend got home with a light bulb..

Guests at restaurants where you get a device that beeps when your food is ready. Guess what? That's a pager.

Before the Sphere, the largest spherical building in the world (since 1989) was the Globe in Stockholm.

On it they sometimes project stuff on, which seems to be a way cheaper and energy efficient way than adding a billion LEDs.

Fun fact about the arena Globen, it's actually the biggest piece in a art installation about our solar system, representing the sun. Pluto is about halfway up in Sweden.

It's also the home arena of Swedens national ice hockey team.

Ah I didn't realise that. That is good. So similar to Denmark and Greenland?
