According to some, the thing about Finland not existing was accounted to a population census of the world a while back, where the margin of error was larger than the whole population of Finland.
Learning finnish history is very important when moving here. makes you more relatable, because historical topics of conversation arent that rare. In Finland we use the word "yleissivistys" which is like general knowledge, and people will think a person is uneducated if they dont have atleast decent general knowledge.
Vilho Rättö hijacked a Russian artillery and blew up 4 Russian tanks all by himself. He received Mannerheim Cross soonly after. Still nobody talks about him even through he's a legend.
In the Cold War era, around the mid-20th century, Japan and the Soviet Union supposedly shared a secret about a stretch of the Baltic Sea between the Soviet Union and Sweden; the two nations collectively spread the idea that there was a landmass known as Finland on this stretch of ocean, to keep the good fishing spots to themselves. The Japanese were free to fish as much as they liked here without worrying about international laws, as long as they gave their fair share to Russia.
This video made me smile like your videos usually do 🙂 That first one is actually true. There is really a golf course in Tornio / Haparanda which is partly in Finland and partly in Sweden. "Finland doesn't exist" is probably the best conspiracy theory joke so far. Have you realized that Finnish word for dragon, lohikäärme, is literally "salmon snake" 😀
The funkiest part about "lohikäärme" is that the word actually has nothing to do with salmon but has ende dup a false friend because of simplification - it's originally "louhikäärme" in the sense of "louhi's serpent" referring to Louhi, the mythological mother of monsters.
Check "Very Finnish Problems". I can't add any links, they are immidiately removed, but it is a Brittish (?) guy living in Finland. Some of his older stuff is really funny!
They're saying Finland doesn't exist, because Finland doesn't exist. The landmass that makes up "Finland" is actually just water that Russia and Japan use as fishing waters. We're all just paid actors😃
Only thing I know about the Finland not existing thing is, that there was an ironic subreddit, the entire purpose of which was to just come up with the most outlandish evidence of Finland not existing and the entire spot of the country just being a part of the sea. The counterarguments were stuff along the lines of "Finnish people live in Estonia and think the country exists" and "Finnish is said to be close to Japanese, so therefore they speak Japanese"
Regarding our existence, to my understanding it came out of us doing “too well” in some barometers, like happiness etc. Thus we became the unicorns, hence no country can be that content in reality. Im not sure if we are supposedly floating in the Baltic or if this landmass is actually part of Russia, tho. Thanks for the giggles, scared my cat with the summer one :)
ABC gas station is a spread gas station in southern finland which was set up Around 1998's. You can refuel your car and if you take a look inside you can see that its like a Subway gas station. And there you can also buy ice cream and candy and things related to candy. I recommend to try it.
I actually don't know either why they say that Finland doesn't exist or it's a myth despite me being Finnish. But that one where summer fails to upload or install was indeed my favorite too 😂 I laughed so hard at that one. All Finnish people know most of us prefer to escape to Spain or some other warm country for at least one or two weeks in winter. Then when we're retired we buy or rent properties there for longer stays if we can afford it 😅
its a foreign meme not a finnish one. from what i remember it was more popular in japan. the "theory" was that Finland didnt excist, russia and sweden just say it does so they can fish there in peace.
Honestly I don't get the "Finland doesn't exist" jokes but a part of it might be because there is not a word for exist in Finnish. Exist translates as olemassa olo/olla olemassa, which is two words. There might be other reasons also idk edit; also maybe because you typically don't ever see Finns on the internet until it's something Finnish related and then there's suddenly swarms of us. I guess that's a bit like ai behaviour? Lol I really have no clue
hey, I got another suggestion for you! "The Norden - Police" uploaded by John Stark. It's about a police officer from LA visiting Finland, Sweden and Norway to have a look at how our countries police compares to the USA. It's quite interesting. The video is roughly 25 minutes long.
I would have to take the mozzies out, sorry birds and frogs. Im one of those freaks who are allergic to these buggers, some summers I look like Im having some sorta new plague, especially after spending time on the countryside. Fun.
For "Finland doesn't exist", iirc, one of the stories is that Finland is a fictional country invented by Japan and Russia, so that Japan can fish in the Baltic Sea for their sushi and transport it home through Russia.
Maybe the "Finland doesnt exist" has something to do with the fact that there are people out there who have asked if we actually live in "iglus" instead of houses, and that do we have polarbears roaming around here..😂 i mean, that just tells me that teachers were not teaching some of these people about Finland in School. Maybe we are not a actual country...?🤔😂 Did you learn something about Finland in school? This is pretty interesting.😅
Global population 8.0 Billion Finnish population 5.5 million Finnish population is 0.6% of global population Error margin is 1.0% There is a possibility that Finland does not exist.
.. during the Winter War which lasted 105 days, the USSR lost ab. 126000 soldiers either killed in action or missing.. Finns lost 100000 less.. so this war wasn't so easy as Stalin had in his crazy mind.. although he'd got the menus printed for the evening gala celebration in Helsinki after two weeks time of starting the invasion.. but this war united the Finns finding the guts needed.. .. this year the World has also noticed the same reaction in Ukraine, the Russo invasion United the Ukrainians as well, they know how important it's to value the independence and the freedom of humankind..
The basic explanation was probably, that Finland was in many positive things number one in the world or very near the top and still many especially outside Europe didn't know Finland well. So it was easy to say, that this country would probably only be an utopistic illusion, it has actually never existed. Some made even maps, where Finland has been erased and her soil has been changed to enalarge the Baltic sea.
8:05 black. Nothing against the Swedes (except bad experiences and personal trauma) but learning an additional language in high school is not nice, especially when it's forced
I bet us either made it or atleast encouraged it. Imagine introvert Finns almost jumping for joy. We don't exist so no1 looks for us. Also perfect trap for Russia. Let's attack Sweden...hiding Finland " Kukkuu, so we meet again Russia, you did not learn last time?" 😁
to me it seems nobody cares about the timetables wehnever anyone on yt uploads. it's at least mostly your creative progress that needs a timetable. i just watch whatever comes whenever. same with podcasts. maybe you should stop talking about your timetables and get to the video?
im not saying nobody cares and i even give hints on micophones and lighting cause i work in the field but you have it all figured out 👍 i've just never heard anybody complaining about youtubers timetables except "when can i see your next video"

Suomi exists but Finland is mostly likely just an old mistaken identity by foreigners, just like American Indians.
God I hate this conspiracy theory as it has 0 point 🙈
Dont forget that they transport the fish disguised as Nokia products
@@ristusnotta1653 oh yes, I forgot about that😮😂
@@Aurinkohelmi Yeah same, I don't get it. I just had to make the joke once🥴😅
Good Mythical Morning has a video on Finland not existing. I think that might have some background.

5:10 ABC is more like a restaurant which can be found next to frequently traveled roads and towns.

My choise would be either sauna will never get cold or free alcohol. But man its so hard to choose between them.

Someone must tell him why Finland doesn't exist 🤣🤣
Siis en ole olemassa?
2:49 YUUP! There's actually a manga about Simo Häyhä and they made him into a cute anime waifu 😭
The meme is that Finland is too good to be true so it doesnt excist.

Finland is such a great place it is a myth? 😁
Global population 8.0 Billion
Finnish population 5.5 million
Finnish population is 0.6% of global population
Error margin is 1.0%
There is a possibility that Finland does not exist.
Finland not existing is a meme because some americans don't believe Finland exists, I think
You could place the other dimmer light to your opposite side to get some reflections on the dark side to add accent, or to get flat light if you want.

i also want to know the origin about this weird "finland doesn't exist" meme..

It's statistics. Finland has so little population that it isn't statistically significant...so there fore Finland doesn't exist.
8:06
Red or black thats a hard one
Finally🤣🤣🤣
Sauna Will never Be cold i say
Actually finn's shot soviets ynder The belt and not in head but...😊
Watch the documentary about the Finnish-Russian war. The Russians got their ass handed to them.

Search for the video ”Finland doesn’t exist”.
8:06 as a Finn in school, BLACK.
Now you should watch some actual suomimeemit
Finland doesn't exist -meme started because no one believed one country can be so awesome. So jealousy perhaps.
Interesting
I bet us either made it or atleast encouraged it. Imagine introvert Finns almost jumping for joy. We don't exist so no1 looks for us. Also perfect trap for Russia. Let's attack Sweden...hiding Finland " Kukkuu, so we meet again Russia, you did not learn last time?" 😁
Okay I understand 😂
They doesnt know how to speak Finnish when i live on Finland and hold My laugh becouse they say IT literally wrong
i would argue you need a curator. most of the video i was just what
to me it seems nobody cares about the timetables wehnever anyone on yt uploads. it's at least mostly your creative progress that needs a timetable.
i just watch whatever comes whenever. same with podcasts.
maybe you should stop talking about your timetables and get to the video?
