British Man Shares “Very Finnish Problems” And They’re Hilariously Accurate

Australia has the exact opposite weather, 25c means you will need a jacket, 35c is a pleasant temperature and 45c it's a little warm. I have never seen snow.

I did, once, many years ago. But we were closer to Antarctica back then.

I see that there are a few that can also apply to Canada, especially for the Yukon and the NW Territories...

This video totally explains why so many Finns immigrated to northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in the US. The weather memes are all relatable.

And yet again, Finland is wrongly placed in Scandinavia. Finns weren't Vikings either, they had their own culture.

[@riikkaalanen3429]

Technically, yes, I guess the Finns weren’t Vikings but have you ever looked at the map? The Vikings sailed along the Gulf of Finland to get to Kievan Rus. It’s just not possible they didn’t stop along the way either to raid, trade or establish colonies. No way did they sail on and never stopped, I just don’t believe it. And we do know that a lot of Viking swords have been found in Finland. And I bet some Finns joined in the raids. 😁

@@riikkaalanen3429 By your logic, then the native Americans were Vikings too. And according to you, the Vikings believed in Allah, as a lot of objecs from that culture have been found on Viking sites. Trading does not make you part of a culture.

[@riikkaalanen3429]

@@MsAnpassad Of course not - did I say so? The Vikings raided and traded with the folks who lived in Finland and Estonia, and I’m sure some pf them joined the Vikings in their raids. By the way, there’s a genetic study on the remains found in some ”Viking” burials (’Population genomics of the Viking world’ published in Nature in 2020). ”The people living in Scandinavia today are more blonde than the Vikings. The vast majority were dark-haired. In addition, Vikings throughout Europe were very rarely 100% Vikings genetically. Instead, they were mixtures of various ancestry, ranging from southern Europeans to the Sami people in the northernmost regions,” explains a researcher behind the study, Eske Willerslev (quotation from a newspaper interview given by Willerslev about the study).

@@riikkaalanen3429 Yes, you did by claiming that living in the proximity of a culture means that you become part of that cullture. Great, a person that thinks genes makes you belong to a specific culture. Let me guess, you're an American that claim to be finnish because your greatgreatgreat grandpa were from Finland?

[@riikkaalanen3429]

@@MsAnpassadWhy don’t you read the article I mentioned? Genes don’t equal language or culture. You wouldn’t want to call an Irishman English even though English is the only language he knows, now would you? And I’m Finnish by the way, not that it matters.

How do you know you’re close to the Finnish line?
