For all the goons who want to go to finland because they think they will automatically be more attractive, just realize that they have a really low obesity rate. When I went there i only saw 1 fat girl under 30 and it was my turkish cousin lol

Best/worst thing about finland is their Language. Can't understand a god damned word even when they're speaking english.
mom downstairs: "what does this english word mean?"
me upstairs: "what's the context?"

this happened multiple times. conveying context and word class through suffixes and conjugation is definitely a trade-off

Yeah gotta give them credit, while they may be lanky recluses, they do have a good grip of winter and motor sports. Which is odd for people who really don't seem very sporty.

Norwegians cant loving drink for poo poo by the way. My dad says it's because a) drinks is mega expensive, and b) the nights are so short in summer (the only time people go out at night) that nobody even goes out drinking till like midnight and they only have a couple hours to get as hosed as is humanly possible before passing out and getting up for work.

is this true elsewhere in scandinavia?

Norwegians get super drunk at home (sometimes it might be a party). Getting drunk solely by going out is not feasible. Also people don't only go out in the summer.

SA has a worrying amount of Finns is what I've found out. We're like the second biggest SA demography after 'muricans for some reason

also Finland is a gay retard country for idiots (like me, which is why I was born and sstill live here) but also much better than most other dumb poo poo bitch countries, which includes most of them, except Canada which seems like a p. cool place. Then again for some reason I know a shitload of Canadians who've moved to Finland so maybe Finland is better after all?

It's a sign of wealth over there, isn't it? Or maybe I'm thinking of Saudi Arabia.. I'm pretty sure somewhere fat-arses are considered the upper echelon of society.

Maybe not a union, but I dream of a world where we can actually talk to each other in our respective languages and understand each other.

sweden never really "owned" norway, not in the same way denmark did, there was never such a thing as "sweden-norway" in the way that there was a denmark-norway. it was really a pretty loose personal union, norway had its own legislature, legal system, merchant marine and navy among other things.

also, scandinavian union can suck my balls. swedes just want our money the same way they want our jobs. and they would probably make stockholm the capital.

I once asked finns how I could tell apart swedes from finns, they just said "you'll know". A few minutes later a bunch of kids walk past smoking mint cigarettes from those long cigarette holders, wearing tight black clothing, and sporting 17th century haircuts

they looked like something out of that really awful romeo & juliet movie where it's set in the modern world
