I get the strong feeling that none of these are real.

The lingonberry one was pretty common where I grew up in a Swedish speaking area in Finland, so I know that one is real.

I'm in Indonesia rn and I can confirmed at least the Indonesian one is true. "Datang bulan" (literally "Moon comes") is the more formal way to say that someone has their period. But most Indonesians speak slang here which is just "Dapet" ("Get") so someone usually says "Aku/gue lagi dapet" ("I'm getting [it] right now"). Guessing it started as a code but now everyone knows and just roll with it.

The Danish one is true at least. Its quite a common phrase.

I've definitely used communists in the funhouse, though I'm not Danish

From these comments it is certainly starting to feel that way lol

Ever since my wife and I saw this, we've been using "the communists are in the funhouse". I don't care if it wasn't real before, it's too good not to use it now.
