I remember once drinking in a Kuopio dive bar during the winter. There was a bunch of students in the next table, one of them had already gotten to the stage where he sat motionless with his face down on the table. One of his friends lifted his head, looked at him and yelled triumphant, in a thick Savo accent: "HE CAN STILL DRINK MORE, HIS EYES ARE MOVING!" Oh, gotta get back to Kuopio soon, they really know their booze there

Cake Smashing Boob posted:When they tell you it's a “A Land of a Thousand Lakes”, what they're really saying is that it's all bog, swamp and peatland. Gotta say, this is 100% fact, except this is basically the view from my family summer home:  I used to think that everyone around the world drives twice every year away in the woods to spend a week drunk, alone, looking at the sun rise and set from the peace of your own log cabin. Finland has some good things going for it.

Someone from Denmark once explained to me that Nordic relations are about everyone else hating the Swedes. The Swedes, being so drat aloof and sure of their superiority, actually believe that their neighbours love them and thus they have the civilizing mission of making the life of their neighbours better by being Super Lovable and... Swedish. When any other Nordic team loses out in any team sport, their fans automatically switch their support to any team that can make sure that Sweden loses out. When Sweden gets dropped, their fans switch their support... to any other Nordic team that has a shot at the gold. It's dysfunctional relationships at their best. Basically Swedes are the Mormons of the Nordic, Finland is Wisconsin but with Minnesota weather. Denmark, being super racist, is Arizona with better beer and Norway... Norwegians are crazy Scots. barbecue at the folks fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Sep 26, 2015 |

ElGroucho posted:Where do you live where you find the thought of social or physical contact with another human being repulsive enough to avoid all interaction, despite the frigid temperature and the instinctual human need for group comfort and warmth? When it is cold and dark out, the last thing you want is having to listen to some dimwit rattling on about his useless life while you patiently try to wait for the bus. Give me silence anytime. ...I just realized that was my instinctual reaction to the mere thought of random human contact. Being a Finn really is about misanthropy, isn't it?

Gibberish posted:so between finland, denmark, sweden and norway, which country is the least worst to live in? Denmark is a bit expensive but yeah, it's the best of the lot. Best weather, best beer, best girls, best weed, best parties. ...unless you look even vaguely middle-eastern in which case stay away, I mean Finns are racist but god drat even compared to us the Danes really, really hate their muslims

Because I am not a caveman / my mongol blood has been diluted enough by 'continental influences', I can see the good points of an egalitarian society that does not run on alcoholism, racism, misogyny and general resentment by badly educated hilbillies. Then again I like to use conditioner on my hair so I guess Sweden is the country for me, after all, Solsidan here I come

Why do we still cling on to daylight savings time, the cold and damp darkness now falls at 4 PM and all I have to pass the time is dreaming about the sweet release of death, it keeps me going through the five months of the worst weather, experienced in the rear end-end of the world gonna go sit in a bog or something and get drunk

Yeah, there is a lot of 'nature' in Finland, however most of it is just endless identical tree farms planted for forest industry that modern-day Finns mistake for actual biodiversity. Sure, there are a few national parks here and there but mostly Finnish nature is pretty boring.

Molentik posted:Yo Finland, with all those bogs, do you even have bog mummies like all the cool bog having countries do? I guess our bogs are the wrong kind? Not acidic enough or something to preserve bodies, I guess. That, or the peat harvesting industry has been real quiet about any archeological finds that would get in the way of good ol' old-school rape of natural resources.

He's not only the prime minister, he's also one drat rich dude. That's why he can afford a 40-year old car that runs on wood chips while the rest of us have small wagons pulled by bog horses.

There's no Finnish workplace where you could get in trouble for having that image on your screen when boss walks in. At worst you'd get a disinterested "häh okei" and usually the whole office will gather around to enjoy together that amazing display of true Finnishness
