I used to have notions of moving to Finland, I think the language is very beautiful and I like their metal music.
But then I read that like most anywhere they hate Americans, so nevermind.

you should be fine unless you assume american sensibilities when talking about politics. hint: we love communism

Tell everyone you meet that Finland is a hell on earth and you should not emigrate here, especially if you are poor and/or brown

I read somewhere that Finnish is a language that exists because of a language demon that lives somewhere beneath Finland. The demon has been slowly guiding the scandinavian tongue for millennia until their language became a bunch of magic spells that they speak out loud to increase the demons power

guess you should be grateful we speak so little then huh

I wonder where all the shy Finns are because where I live people are pretty talkative and outgoing in general. Maybe it's the slavic influence from the east. Or maybe my mongoloid Finnish brain doesn't understand what being social is really like

this is really amazing because it really sounds like he's explaining things in finnish if you just have it playing on the background. it's only if i really concentrate that i realize that it's actually english

smaller horses require less food, are more resilient, don't get tired as easily etc. as bigger (european) horses. one of the reasons mongols conquered the world is because their horses were tougher than pretty european/arab warhorses which required more maintenance

hahaha you swedes are so loving dumb

we conquered the world once and we will do it again

He then discovered Finnish, which he described many years later as "like discovering a complete wine-cellar filled with bottles of an amazing wine of a kind and flavour never tasted before. It quite intoxicated me."[1] He had started his study of the Finnish language to be able to read the Kalevala epic.
