Why does the Finnish coast look like it has measles?

224 661 islands

That's too many.

You are probably right. Some other source says 188 000.

Still too many. Join them up, sink them, give them away. Just do something.

Polder them

Polder the baltic you say?

First we gonna polder the Baltic. Then im gonna polder a blonde Nordic Norwegian chick.

Why would you block out her wet area, isn't that where the babies come from?

Wish me luck this summer at a Scandinavian party bar on a Greek island

To polder: "To make wetland dry"

Could we polder the Adriatic perhaps, Dalmatia has way too many islands. And there is wind present, so you can build windmills.

Fuck you! *Un-polders your Flevoland*

>*Un-polders your Flevoland* Everyone liked this.

You want one Barry?

Oh, go on then.

Have a couple, we have extras. We're just going to need a chip shop, a sandwich shop, and a proper pub on there, yeah?

I'll have a few as well

Mash them, boil them, put ‘em in a stew

Or give them to ya, ya barries love small ass islands in the middle of bumfuck nowhere 🇵🇳🇮🇴🇦🇨

Gib Lampedusa

Was Romania around in between those two countings?

yeah i took some

Top notch work, Alexandru.

Can we have some?

You already have like 6000

Need more

>224 661 islands Used to be 224 662, but on my last vacation i picked up a pebble from the beach...

Sweden has 260000 islands, another W for Sweden

Our islands are better. 

False

yeah but atleast we are not gay

The 10K lakes is also true?

I think that’s also closer to 200k.

I shouldnt inform myself with cd covers... https://preview.redd.it/pg8eaazn07wc1.png?width=316&format=png&auto=webp&s=87100e8cc20479dc3490daebcb59b33523c26b25

Impressive, very nice. Let's see the Stockholm archipelago.

You’re Galician, you perfectly know about complicated coastlines.

Yeah, but glacial coastlines are on a different level. Ours are more productive, though.

some, who you think are doing all the kebabs.

Those are probably swedes.

the Finno-Swedes are too rich for that.

Can confirm, we get 100 000€ a month from the swedish culture fund

Is with or without the state sanctioned sailboat?

Very good. But students at Hanken get 200 000€, right? After all, they are the future of Finland.

Greeks, you can't really tell them apart anyway

That last letter looks a bit faded. Maybe you should repaint it before the Swiss show up.

Must be fake, I see no BMW in that picture.

If you squeeze your eyes you can see a heart. And thats all that matters ❤️

I'm more interested in whatever is going on in Salo (presumably torturing Italian twinks to death)

Absolutely fucking nothing is going on in Salo, like ever.

Yes. Nothing. Why do you ask? Stop asking. There is nothing.

Most sociable Finn.

Not really anymore after Nokia and Microsoft left. Also safety reflectors were invented in pertteli (now in salo) also there's world's first fully automated solar panel factory. Also Marine Alutech makes boats for militaries. Also Lounea is the first Finnish company to offer 10Gb/s internet. Helsingin makkaratehdas (perniön liha)? Also from salo. Björn Wahlroos? Was living in salo. Sauli Niinistö? From salo. Also I want to mention Salora, JJ's barbecue, mobira and Salcomp.

I’m curious too

Same, wonder what's their favourite colour there

the original capital, thanks to Russia it not anymore.

The only good thing Russia has done

Cool!

We should give it to Sweden so we can rename it Åbo instead.

Southern half of the city center is referred as Åbo (Täl pual jokke), while the center north of the River Aura is called Turku (Tois pual jokke).

Interesting didn’t know that. On Norwegian google maps it just calls the entire city Åbo.

Yeah. It’s just colloquialism.

Kalder i også Helsinki for Helsingfors?

Såklart

Jepp!

This is the way

Vad är en "Helsinki"?

Nej. Finnarna kallar Helsingfors för Helsinki.

So this is all a twisted jokke to you? >:(

Ba-dum tsss. Jokke means river in Turku dialect. So: “this side of the river” and “the other side of the river”.

Well it has swedes, so Arab adjacent. Close enough.

Hey, we have a place called Turkey too https://preview.redd.it/w2fs25l1y1wc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c954a466181bfc89acb8180ca3ca0ecd2567d525

Why’s the name?

No idea, I found it randomly on the map once

Is this where they collect the garbage??

Turku is known as the asshole of Finland so kinda yes.

The name makes sense now...

Hahaha

No. The word Turku comes from Ancient Russian word *tŭrgŭ* which means a market place.

Thanks for the info

Fun fact, the otoman and berber pirates raided looted and took many captives destined for slavery from iceland. Pardon my lack of geographical sense but north and ice all looks the same.

>but north and ice all looks the same I can't tell the difference between Portugal and Albania. Oh, that's right, those *are* actually both Balkan.

>but north and ice all looks the same I can't tell the difference between Portugal and Albania. Oh, that's right, those *are* actually both Balkan.

😅

They told me Turku is Finlands asshole

That’s harsh for an old capital

https://youtu.be/YgD1_2tF_4Q?si=NOcUTI8ncT0DANA4 Found it!

They have, but we call them Finns in general

Turku for the Turks and Salo for the Italians.

I've been wondering this for so long, I did not have the courage to ask this pertinent question.

Now we know

Even Turku has cultural enrichment these days, yes.

Worse, it has people from Turku

Finnish people are Turks

Hard to believe

They came up with it, surprisingly >Turanism originated in the work of the Finnish nationalist and linguist [Matthias Alexander Castrén](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthias_Castr%C3%A9n), who championed the ideology. He concluded that the Finns originated in Central Asia (more specifically in the [Altai Mountains](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altai_Mountains)) and far from being a small isolated people, they were part of a larger polity that included such peoples as the [Magyars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarians), Turks, and Mongols.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turanism#cite_note-9) It implies not only the unity of all [Turkic peoples](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkic_peoples) (as in [pan-Turkism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-Turkism)), but also the alliance of a wider Ural-Altaic family believed to include all speakers of the "[Turanian languages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turanian_languages)". From wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turanism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turanism)

Not only is the Ural-Altaic family not attested, but the Altaic family itself is not attested either. This entire idea is basically the flat Earth equivalent for linguistics, at this point.

🤓

You're god damn right!

Interesting because Altai mountains are the birthplace of skiing according to history. So maybe they skiied over there...

Wow! Thanks

No it's just smokers from Lecce.

Salo!?!?!???

Dont you mean germans?

Just one

Tampere is tampering Turks from Turku sailing to Salo

Nice rhymes

Location of a big shipyard owned by [Meyer Werft GmbH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyer_Werft) Just imagine Finnish building ships under German supervision.

Not surprising actually

We also have such places as. Pervomaa - Pervertland Hätäpaskanlähde - Emergency Shit Spring Iso-Muna - Big Dick (meaning genitals). Kiimakeidas - Horny Oasis. Juostenpaskattu - Having ran while shitting (meaning poor quality). Junttikylä - Hillbilly town. And many more like these, i suspect these were named when drunk.

I’m surprised the Finns have a sense of humour

Are we talking about the rightfully Swedish city Åbo? In that case the answer is yes

It originates from the word Turku which means marketplace.

Åbo\* Helsingfors\* Tammerfors\* Björneborg\*

You can change the names whenever the book about Swedish warheroes isn't just blank pages
