Thank you for your videos. My family and I left Finland way back in 1965 when I was about 8 years old and I haven't lived there since. What I find entertaining about your videos is not only your personal insights, but the fact that you can actually pronounce Finnish words and names with such authentic inflection. You make me smile every time I hear you speak Finnish. I love it! I don't usually expect an American accent to morph so convincingly.

How do those things fit in with living in the US, or specifically Texas (?), if I'm not mistaken. 2019 ice-hockey champions!. Yaaaay! Leijonat perkele!
Keijo Sandvik thank you for you comment! In my experience it has been hard to fit in here in Texas. I don’t share the same mindset, personality or characteristics as the majority of Texans. I think I get a lot of the characteristics I have from my dad ... respecting personal space, love and appreciation for nature, silence and privacy, etc. He reminds me of Finns. Greetings from Texas btw! ❤️
Hi! I really enjoy to watch your videos. I think you are amazing and its really nice to hear your thoughts about Finland :).Tärkeintä jääkiekossa ei ole voitto, vaan se että Ruotsi häviää :-D hehe.
Didn't know about the flight recorder, pretty cool find! One invention that was ahead it's time was Erwise, the first ever graphical web browser made by Finnish uni students. Only after that showed up Netscape, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari. Also if you go to burger king in US, the drink cup's lids are made by a Finnish company, Huhtamäki. And maybe you have used KONE-elevators or been on a cruise ship that has a Finnish made engine by Wärtsilä.
Moi! Thank you for reminding me about how much I love Finland! I stayed near Tampere twice with my best friend and his family. Blessings from Trinidad/Tobago in the Caribbean! Kiitos!!!
Hi Rachael, I'm Mikael from Finland. I just love to watch your videos, they are great! Keep up the good work! I laughed my socks off when I watched 10 culture shocks you experienced in Finland. Raakel! Kengät pois! Ovella! So funny!
I really love these videos. You're such a sweet person. I moved out of Finland myself 11 years ago, after having lived there my entire life, so these really bring back memories and everything. I hope you and your husband and the puppies are doing great ! I think the decent invention from Finland, after the forementioned, is people like yourself who have lived there and experienced it and now want to share. So #11, they must be doing something right.
You say your beloved most favorite country Finland and I melt into million pieces! That Nokia ~ Nokia boots ROFL! Pronouncing Säynäjäkangas, girl you are doing an incredible job!!

Many blessings over you and greetings to your beautiful daughter! - Love teacup (as my best friends call me over there in the US!)
The modern smart phone is also a Finnish invention. A few years after Finnish inventor Johannes Väänänen had shown his myDevice prototype to Steve Jobs (and Väänänen's company MyOrigo had gone bankrupt) Apple introduced the iPhone. What's really tragic is that he also demoed the phone to Nokia but they said it has no future...

It’s fun following your videos. I lived in Finland for 34 years, more years than I’ve live in Britain, my country of birth. I have moved back to the British Isles now, but miss lots about Finland, my friends and colleagues, and above all my (now adult) boys who still live there. Finland deserves to fly its flag high and its humble approach to being such a positive place is only part of its charm.
Thank you for your lovely videos about Finland. You know more about finnish inventions than I do and I am finnish, but I live in Sweden. Maybe that is why I didn’t knew about all these inventions. I am amazed how much you know about Finland and you say the difficult finnish words very good. I became a subscriber on your channel now. Keep up the good work and you make me proud of being a finn. Thank you!
oh that was a superb night though, IIHF 2019 finals, just amazing play by the team!! loved it to bits!! and yes!!! dish drying cabinet!!! super awesome! hahahaha
eckligt yeah I went back and forth with that one. There were several other worthy to be mentioned as well. I might do a second video to cover the others. Thanks for watching!
@@raatomieli4204 macOS, iOS and Linux have been developed independently. macOS and iOS are based on Darwin, XNU, Mach, BSD, and UNIX. Linux is UNIX like OS inspired by MINIX and often comes with GNU. Of course it's sure Linux has inspired macOS development and somewhat vice versa. They're like second cousins, not brothers or ancestors of each other. Android is mostly just a kind of Linux. Linux is the largest software project ever and is developed all around the planet.
Linux operating system should be on the list since it basically runs the whole internet and all it's servers and all Android phones, Android in based on Linux OS. There is also this defacto secure connection protocol SSH that is also invented in Finland :)
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
And is finally starting to get the numbers up for normal PC usage, people are finally starting to see the issues that, we in the tech industry have seen for many years with the walled gardens of Windows and Mac.
Linux has a long way to go, and I doubt it ever quite gets there. I definitely will stick to whatever OS my work place is using because of the ease of transferring files without loss of formatting (hence NEVER, EVER MAC). As long as Linux is so involved every company needs a dedicated tech support that will also support their employers' PCs at home and out of office hours, Linux will stay as a niche market.
@@oakstrong1 Well every company do not need a tech support for Linux, why would they if it's a small company and just maintaining your own machines? But as soon as you start having multiple computers and staff that can't connect to WiFi even on a Windows machine without tech support or when you get an internet facing server you will need employed person that manages the hardware at your company. But then again there was a company that had a Linux server running for 20 years without maintenance, however I would not recommend anyone doing this as it's a security risk.
Van Lightman But nobody uses that expect some grumpy GNU people. If anything it should be Linux/GNU indicating which code is more important ie. runs first.
The fact that a rubber boot company starts to make cell phones and becomes world's number one in it is a sign of innovative thinking in itself. I should know, I've mostly lived in a town of Nokia where it all started. It's located 90 miles northeast from Turku, my favourite city in Finland. Fiskars scissors are also named after a place. There's a village called Fiskari (in Swedish Fiskars) which is nowadays part of Raasepori town. By the way, couldn't help noticing how the video is titled "pretty decent" rather than good or great. Being not too excited is the Finnish way :)
Turku blabla, it's next to Tampere, obviously everyones favorite city! Jk I actually like turku more, I just lived so long in Tampere I got this eternal feud in my heart lol
@@mikaelpeltonen96 yea I thought you did, but hey gotta keep the age old feud going on lol! I really like Turku more, people are nicer and the dialegt doesn't make my ears bleed lol. I'm originally from Mikkeli but lived in both, Turku and Tampere.
@@ilarious5729 I would have to say Helsinki, Turku and Tampere all have their pros and cons. Sometimes Turku feels too small and Helsinki too expensive. That's why I'm sticking with Tampere. But in summer Turku is great, the scenery, the festivals, it's easy to find dates etc.
I have visited Finland ever so many times (me being a Dane) - and am very impressed by the Finnish and their way of life - I am so lucky to have and have had many Finnish friends. And your Finland videos are awasome (as a curiosity my first name is Finn :-) )
Dish drying cabinet is an US invention from the year 1932 (Louise R. Krause). Also SMS was not invented by Matti Makkonen. The inventor is not known but: "The SMS concept was developed in the Franco-German GSM cooperation in 1984 by Friedhelm Hillebrand and Bernard Ghillebaert.". This is a misconception of Helsingin Sanomat - magazine from the year 2002. Also sauna is not an Finnish invention.
Hello there~ I'm living my best life here in Turku Finland. Since Finland was also voted the happiest country in 2019, I think it's been a really good year on top of all the other good news, like the ice hockey and 3rd place in innovation. Thanks for the video~
Finns did invent Molotov Coctail. In Spanish civil war they used fire bottles, but Molotov coctail is a different kind of fire bottle. There are more differences than just the name. Finns didn’t use petrol, they used alcohol. So yeah, finns didn’t invent fire bottles, but they invented Molotov Coctail.
@@ToniHyvarinen86 Yes they did. Actually it was A.I.Virtanen who invented it. A bottle full of petrol with burning rag in it is not Molotov Coctail. Molotov Coctail is a bottle filled with m mixture of petrol, alcohol, tar and chlorate, with a glass vial of sulphuric acid attached. When the bottle is broken, sulphuric acid is mixed with chlorate and it ignites.

To be truthful, the finns propably adopted the sauna from the russians in ancient times. Also the native americans have steam huts, that are even more holy than saunas. A fun fact: When Finns immigrated to north america in the 1600´s, they became immediately liked by the natives, because the finns built a sauna first, and their cottage later. Both were gatherer/collectors, so they understood each other pretty quickly. Later during the great indian wars, every tribe had a communique that forbade them torching up the cottages of the finns. Every other white mans house was doomed never the less. The indians also found out soon that the finns were introverts, and they respected it highly. Some tribes told their children that "Those are the trolls in the woods. Don´t bother them for nothing". This is all a less known fact even for finns.
@@WildwoodVagabond My mom borrowed me one book about the Findians, but I am a lazy sod, so guess if I have only been playing the playstation instead of reading a good book? I am getting old or something. I want all knowledge transplanted into my brain instantly, instead of reading lines of words. I used to love reading, and this is what I have become. A complete fuckmuppet.
Gordon Gekko You’re welcome! I went back and forth with Linux. There were several others that were worth mentioning as well. I might make a 2nd video covering those. Thanks for watching ❤️
Nor did I, if it was invented in the forty's why was it not fitted to aircraft until the late fifty's, maybe a few less De Haviland Comets would have fallen out of the sky if it had been fitted to them and the problem with square windows in aircraft with pressure cabins would have been found earlier. They later became one of the safest jet aircraft that ever flew, surviving in military form until the late ninety's.
Xylitol is nowadays extracted from corn (if I didn't totally read it wrong somewhere) and the kitchen drying rack is possibly not invented in Finland. It never got a mark as a new invention because some earlyer models were found in the US. But we were the ones who started using them more. Sauna is also one that people speculate about. But again we were the ones who took it to wide spread use.
Most likely Finnish emigrants took the drying rack to America. Yes, there have been saunas all over the world in various forms, the Russian one being nearest in terms of function, but Finland is the o my country it has survived in its current form.
I have a Swedish made RV Kabe Ametisti and is is almost perfect except it doesn’t have drying closet in kitchen. My previous one was Finnish made Solifer and that had drying closet.
I guess many Finns just takes the dish drying cabinets for granted. They're just always been there. Or so it seems. I'm really happy, that everywhere I move within Finland there's a separate cabinet to dry my dishes in. It's so handy. Also, I've been to a many different kinds of saunas. No surprise there. In one of my childhood homes we had a large sauna in the basement. When it was heated for about 4-5 hours you could still bathe there in the following morning. Even in winter. Well...not in very cold winters. But most winters anyway.
One more item to your list might be heijastin (reflector for pedestrians) invented by Arvi Lehti. Of course I have no idea if people use reflectors outside of Finland. But when it get´s dark heijastin can truly be a lifesaver.
One comment, not to this video in particular but belatedly to your videos in general: since you've mentioned veganism, I have to say that something I really miss about Finland (as a native Finn abroad) is that in the recent years it has become exceptionally vegan-friendly, especially in terms of all the new food in stores. It's telling that McDonald's pioneered its first vegan burger in exactly two countries: Finland and Sweden. I imagine there are less vegan options in Texas, although I assume it's much easier in Austin etc.
Huugo Sörsselssön You are right about Austin! Wow they have so many cool options. In Houston I haven’t found too many places. But I can imagine in the more urban area there would be more options. In the rural areas where I was living before we moved here there were ZERO options. 99% of the people had no idea what vegan even meant. And when I tried to explain it to them they almost always took offense to it. The response was almost always the same “We’re Texan.... born and bred on meat” “Milk ain’t bad for ya, you’re crazy” “you gotta eat meat, that just don’t make no sense” stuff like that. 🙄and it wasn’t easy to find decent affordable produce in the countryside either. That was super annoying.
The dish drying cabinet is something I can't fathom how this has not conquered the world... yes nowadays most houses have dishwashers, but there's a lot of stuff we wash by hand anyway (frying pans, wooden cooking utensils, plastic-to-be-recycled); our drying cabinet is never empty. And yes, the maternity box is a fantastic thing to support young families (BTW, when expecting a later (2nd, 3rd, ...) child and you don't need the equipment, you can opt for getting some amount of money instead).
The invater of the black box was David Warren. Australian scientis, best known for inventing and developing the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder (also known as FDR, CVR and "the black box"). Where you get your information?
Just rewatched this a second time and when you mentioned FInland becoming world champions in Ice Hockey, that reminded me one of the few positives about this Corona thing, we are guaranteed to keep that title for annother year! :D :P
Someone mentioned aiv-fodder, but that guy behind it invented much more. Examples from his innovations are heat treat for milk preservation and also idea how preserve butter much longer. Antero Virtanen. And not so present inventors, you should look guy called Eric Tigerstedt, also known as finlands Newton.
That's a very pretty decent video. Thanks to you I now stood up a whole night thinking about moving to Finland for couple months, so thank you both cynically and geniually. (Hope I wrote it correctly :)
A good list and many of these are things that even Finns don't know are invented in Finland (except the drying cabinet, that's the typical example). As a techie and IT professional from Finland I was really amazed at how much of our modern world, especially on internet, is build on top of Finnish research and invention. Linux runs most of our server architecture and Internet backbone, telecommunications run on GSM standard, a Finnish invention. Our current text messaging based culture started with SMS. SSH, the standard of computer to computer secure communication is also a Finnish thing as is IRC which still runs most real time chat software you see on web pages like Twitch. It's not clear to users but many of them are accessible with IRC client and many of the common chat bots are build on that fact. I'm sure there are more but these are among the most significant. Most people even in Finland don't know how much of everything we do in our current lives runs on inventions and standards from Finland. Sometimes we are way too modest.
1. Nokia Phone 2. Text Messaging 3. Heart Rate Monitor 4. Flight Data Recorder (The "Black Box") 5. Fiskar's Scissors 6. Xylitol Chewing Gum 7. Dish rack (over sink for dish moisture to fall right into it) 8. Kela Maternity Box 9. Angry Birds (yes, those angry birds) 10. Saunas Saved you some time, you're welcome :)
Dish rack was originally from sweden. Black box is from Australia or USA I'm sure. Text messaging has to be from somewhere else, maybe USA. Heart rate monitor, not buying it. Sauna's have existed for so long that no one truly knows where they are originally.
Thank you for this interesting video. ;) Every day I am learning something. By the way I really like your tattoos :) (side note my tomato plants are growing nicely hope yours soon have fruit)
Jozsa Istvan hello!!! Thank you! Actually my tomato plants are producing now! I have some black cherry tomatoes ready! My favorite. Glad yours is growing!
Of course you had to make fun of Sweden when talking about Finland. Finland is like our sibling, they are sometimes very annoying but we love them anyway.
If this list grew to 14 entries, the only thing I would add (besides Linux, SSH and IRC) would be the disc retainer lock, developed by Abloy about a century ago. There's also that AIV thing of preserving hay with uric acid (for cattle feed) but it's less applicable nowadays.
Heya Rachael! I would love to see you to try some Finnish music in your channel. There is so much to listein in Finnish or in English or maybe in Swedish. Could give you some good memories about our phenomemal country 😊
wow they did invent alot of things. Never seen the dish rack cupboard. Would like to see you and your husband play some Finland board games or something like that.
@@WildwoodVagabond ummm, so i had a look around and i found this company on youtube "Lautapelit.fi". I searched a few others but i can not read anything on there websites haha. So yeah don't have recommendations, but im sure anything you play will be fun :)
Yea, Nokia phones, I still use a 20 year old one, no smartphone for me, it makes calls and sends texts, that's all one needs from a phone, the rest can be done on a laptop or tablet. There would be far less pedestrian accidents if people didn't walk around glued to their smartphone screen and actually looked where they are walking. The invention of SMS messaging is typically Finnish, a People of very few words, why spend twenty minutes talking when two will suffice, even better if one doesn't have to talk at all, more reserved than us Brits even.
Hi! Started to watch your videos again. "We were on a break..." Maiju Gebhard didn't get a patent to dish drying closet in Finland because it wasn't a new invention as I recall reading years ago. In the late 1920's it was - not patented I suppose - but invented in the States but Finns have them in every home 🖖
Some while back I sent two of those metal racks to my sister in Germany, and she "somehow" installed them on top of the sink. Not pretty but fulfilled the purpose. Now when she moved to a new house and bought a new kitchen, she got the kitchen from IKEA... surprise surprise, you can get that dish drying cabinet from IKEA.
"Suomi on paras" I like so much when you speak finnish. It sound so cool. Suomi is also best country in Pesäpallo. (mayby because no other country is playing it)
hi. I am a Canadian married to a Floridian with real Southern parents,( Georgia, Alabama) for 51 years. My father's wife of 30 years was from Finland. Surprised the hell out of me how she and my husband got along so well for many years before my dad died.... Until he showed up one day in shorts when we were going jogging while visiting them in Victoria, British Columbia.. Naked to go in a Sauna would have probably been ok, but showing bare knees in Public????? We all survived that infraction, and moved on. Her Finnish strength and resolution with the Health system probably helped get my father the best health care when he was dying
Finland is also world champion in cheerleading second time in a row. First country to win US in their own sport. My daughter was in the team!

A few years after Finnish inventor Johannes Väänänen had shown his myDevice prototype to Steve Jobs (and Väänänen's company MyOrigo had gone bankrupt) Apple introduced the iPhone. What's really tragic is that he also demoed the phone to Nokia but they said it has no future...

Good job Rachael, that was interesting and surprising inventions
It’s fun following your videos. I lived in Finland for 34 years, more years than I’ve live in Britain, my country of birth. I have moved back to the British Isles now, but miss lots about Finland, my friends and colleagues, and above all my (now adult) boys who still live there. Finland deserves to fly its flag high and its humble approach to being such a positive place is only part of its charm.
Thank you for your lovely videos about Finland. You know more about finnish inventions than I do and I am finnish, but I live in Sweden. Maybe that is why I didn’t knew about all these inventions. I am amazed how much you know about Finland and you say the difficult finnish words very good. I became a subscriber on your channel now. Keep up the good work and you make me proud of being a finn. Thank you!

I would have added Linux to the list.
eckligt yeah I went back and forth with that one. There were several other worthy to be mentioned as well. I might do a second video to cover the others. Thanks for watching!
@@WildwoodVagabond I think linux is quite important when you know that both apple ios and android are both baed on unix :)
The "core" of Linux was definitely developed by the Finns (Torvalds mainly) but there has been a lot of different people developing it forward.
@@raatomieli4204 macOS, iOS and Linux have been developed independently. macOS and iOS are based on Darwin, XNU, Mach, BSD, and UNIX. Linux is UNIX like OS inspired by MINIX and often comes with GNU. Of course it's sure Linux has inspired macOS development and somewhat vice versa. They're like second cousins, not brothers or ancestors of each other. Android is mostly just a kind of Linux. Linux is the largest software project ever and is developed all around the planet.
@@raatomieli4204 linux != unix
Hi from Missouri . Thank you for the info . I didn't know none of that . Thank you for sharing .
4rd4x4truck Hello! You’re welcome! Thanks for watching ❤️
Linux operating system should be on the list since it basically runs the whole internet and all it's servers and all Android phones, Android in based on Linux OS. There is also this defacto secure connection protocol SSH that is also invented in Finland :)
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
And is finally starting to get the numbers up for normal PC usage, people are finally starting to see the issues that, we in the tech industry have seen for many years with the walled gardens of Windows and Mac.
Linux has a long way to go, and I doubt it ever quite gets there. I definitely will stick to whatever OS my work place is using because of the ease of transferring files without loss of formatting (hence NEVER, EVER MAC).
As long as Linux is so involved every company needs a dedicated tech support that will also support their employers' PCs at home and out of office hours, Linux will stay as a niche market.
@@oakstrong1 Well every company do not need a tech support for Linux, why would they if it's a small company and just maintaining your own machines?
But as soon as you start having multiple computers and staff that can't connect to WiFi even on a Windows machine without tech support or when you get an internet facing server you will need employed person that manages the hardware at your company.
But then again there was a company that had a Linux server running for 20 years without maintenance, however I would not recommend anyone doing this as it's a security risk.
Van Lightman But nobody uses that expect some grumpy GNU people. If anything it should be Linux/GNU indicating which code is more important ie. runs first.
The fact that a rubber boot company starts to make cell phones and becomes world's number one in it is a sign of innovative thinking in itself.
I should know, I've mostly lived in a town of Nokia where it all started. It's located 90 miles northeast from Turku, my favourite city in Finland.
Fiskars scissors are also named after a place. There's a village called Fiskari (in Swedish Fiskars) which is nowadays part of Raasepori town.
By the way, couldn't help noticing how the video is titled "pretty decent" rather than good or great. Being not too excited is the Finnish way :)
Turku blabla, it's next to Tampere, obviously everyones favorite city! Jk I actually like turku more, I just lived so long in Tampere I got this eternal feud in my heart lol
@@ilarious5729 Tampere is fine, it's just that Turku is by the sea and Rachael used to live there, that's why I mentioned it :)
@@mikaelpeltonen96 yea I thought you did, but hey gotta keep the age old feud going on lol! I really like Turku more, people are nicer and the dialegt doesn't make my ears bleed lol. I'm originally from Mikkeli but lived in both, Turku and Tampere.
@@ilarious5729 I would have to say Helsinki, Turku and Tampere all have their pros and cons. Sometimes Turku feels too small and Helsinki too expensive.
That's why I'm sticking with Tampere. But in summer Turku is great, the scenery, the festivals, it's easy to find dates etc.

Dish drying cabinet is an US invention from the year 1932 (Louise R. Krause). Also SMS was not invented by Matti Makkonen. The inventor is not known but: "The SMS concept was developed in the Franco-German GSM cooperation in 1984 by Friedhelm Hillebrand and Bernard Ghillebaert.". This is a misconception of Helsingin Sanomat - magazine from the year 2002. Also sauna is not an Finnish invention.
Greeting from finland. You and your list have been in our news few days ago :)

My favourite finnish invention is the Molotov Coctail. I tend to enjoy it with lunch.
Expept finns didnt invent it, just gave it a name. First recorded use of molotovs was during spanish civilwar.
Finns did invent Molotov Coctail. In Spanish civil war they used fire bottles, but Molotov coctail is a different kind of fire bottle. There are more differences than just the name. Finns didn’t use petrol, they used alcohol. So yeah, finns didn’t invent fire bottles, but they invented Molotov Coctail.
@@ToniHyvarinen86 Yes they did. Actually it was A.I.Virtanen who invented it. A bottle full of petrol with burning rag in it is not Molotov Coctail. Molotov Coctail is a bottle filled with m mixture of petrol, alcohol, tar and chlorate, with a glass vial of sulphuric acid attached. When the bottle is broken, sulphuric acid is mixed with chlorate and it ignites.
My neighbour (Alvar Wilska) invented the name and likely the ignition method.
Wow, a second invention for the list by the polymath AIV!
I love your channel!

To be truthful, the finns propably adopted the sauna from the russians in ancient times. Also the native americans have steam huts, that are even more holy than saunas. A fun fact: When Finns immigrated to north america in the 1600´s, they became immediately liked by the natives, because the finns built a sauna first, and their cottage later. Both were gatherer/collectors, so they understood each other pretty quickly. Later during the great indian wars, every tribe had a communique that forbade them torching up the cottages of the finns. Every other white mans house was doomed never the less. The indians also found out soon that the finns were introverts, and they respected it highly. Some tribes told their children that "Those are the trolls in the woods. Don´t bother them for nothing". This is all a less known fact even for finns.
Teuvo Bro so very interesting! I’ve been reading a bit lately about the Findians. It’s fascinating
@@WildwoodVagabond My mom borrowed me one book about the Findians, but I am a lazy sod, so guess if I have only been playing the playstation instead of reading a good book? I am getting old or something. I want all knowledge transplanted into my brain instantly, instead of reading lines of words. I used to love reading, and this is what I have become.

Nor did I, if it was invented in the forty's why was it not fitted to aircraft until the late fifty's, maybe a few less De Haviland Comets would have fallen out of the sky if it had been fitted to them and the problem with square windows in aircraft with pressure cabins would have been found earlier. They later became one of the safest jet aircraft that ever flew, surviving in military form until the late ninety's.
Tony S hey! I read it here

And also Wikipedia
Greetings from Texas btw! ❤️
Xylitol is nowadays extracted from corn (if I didn't totally read it wrong somewhere) and the kitchen drying rack is possibly not invented in Finland. It never got a mark as a new invention because some earlyer models were found in the US. But we were the ones who started using them more.
Sauna is also one that people speculate about. But again we were the ones who took it to wide spread use.
Most likely Finnish emigrants took the drying rack to America.
Yes, there have been saunas all over the world in various forms, the Russian one being nearest in terms of function, but Finland is the o my country it has survived in its current form.
@@oakstrong1 the thing is that the drying rack ws found in the US before it was "invented" in Finland. But who cares.
I have a Swedish made RV Kabe Ametisti and is is almost perfect except it doesn’t have drying closet in kitchen. My previous one was Finnish made Solifer and that had drying closet.
Great video you rock! 💪🏻😊
Turre Tuntematon thank you!
I guess many Finns just takes the dish drying cabinets for granted. They're just always been there. Or so it seems. I'm really happy, that everywhere I move within Finland there's a separate cabinet to dry my dishes in. It's so handy.
Also, I've been to a many different kinds of saunas. No surprise there. In one of my childhood homes we had a large sauna in the basement. When it was heated for about 4-5 hours you could still bathe there in the following morning. Even in winter. Well...not in very cold winters. But most winters anyway.
One more item to your list might be heijastin (reflector for pedestrians) invented by Arvi Lehti. Of course I have no idea if people use reflectors outside of Finland. But when it get´s dark heijastin can truly be a lifesaver.
Empä tiennytkään
M Y thanks for sharing! I might be making a part 2 ☺️
Yes we do, in Estonia, it is actually compulsory and punishable by law if U don't wear them when it is dark outside :P

Fantastic Finland
One comment, not to this video in particular but belatedly to your videos in general: since you've mentioned veganism, I have to say that something I really miss about Finland (as a native Finn abroad) is that in the recent years it has become exceptionally vegan-friendly, especially in terms of all the new food in stores. It's telling that McDonald's pioneered its first vegan burger in exactly two countries: Finland and Sweden. I imagine there are less vegan options in Texas, although I assume it's much easier in Austin etc.
Huugo Sörsselssön You are right about Austin! Wow they have so many cool options. In Houston I haven’t found too many places. But I can imagine in the more urban area there would be more options. In the rural areas where I was living before we moved here there were ZERO options. 99% of the people had no idea what vegan even meant. And when I tried to explain it to them they almost always took offense to it. The response was almost always the same “We’re Texan.... born and bred on meat” “Milk ain’t bad for ya, you’re crazy” “you gotta eat meat, that just don’t make no sense” stuff like that. 🙄and it wasn’t easy to find decent affordable produce in the countryside either. That was super annoying.
that is true, but not really a finnisch invention.
And i say that as a proud omnivore father of a vegeTArian daughter.
Greeting from Kuopio Finland. I love your videos
Hannu H Hi! Thank you! Greetings from Texas ❤️✌🏼
Maternity box is really nice.
Really hope other countries would adapt it as well.
The dish drying cabinet is something I can't fathom how this has not conquered the world... yes nowadays most houses have dishwashers, but there's a lot of stuff we wash by hand anyway (frying pans, wooden cooking utensils, plastic-to-be-recycled); our drying cabinet is never empty.
And yes, the maternity box is a fantastic thing to support young families (BTW, when expecting a later (2nd, 3rd, ...) child and you don't need the equipment, you can opt for getting some amount of money instead).
Just stopping by to leave a comment, you are awesome!

The invater of the black box was David Warren. Australian scientis, best known for inventing and developing the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder (also known as FDR, CVR and "the black box"). Where you get your information?
Just rewatched this a second time and when you mentioned FInland becoming world champions in Ice Hockey, that reminded me one of the few positives about this Corona thing, we are guaranteed to keep that title for annother year! :D :P

Asparager you did! Hello from Texas!
A good list and many of these are things that even Finns don't know are invented in Finland (except the drying cabinet, that's the typical example). As a techie and IT professional from Finland I was really amazed at how much of our modern world, especially on internet, is build on top of Finnish research and invention. Linux runs most of our server architecture and Internet backbone, telecommunications run on GSM standard, a Finnish invention. Our current text messaging based culture started with SMS. SSH, the standard of computer to computer secure communication is also a Finnish thing as is IRC which still runs most real time chat software you see on web pages like Twitch. It's not clear to users but many of them are accessible with IRC client and many of the common chat bots are build on that fact. I'm sure there are more but these are among the most significant.
Most people even in Finland don't know how much of everything we do in our current lives runs on inventions and standards from Finland. Sometimes we are way too modest.
1. Nokia Phone
2. Text Messaging
3. Heart Rate Monitor

Dish rack was originally from sweden. Black box is from Australia or USA I'm sure. Text messaging has to be from somewhere else, maybe USA. Heart rate monitor, not buying it. Sauna's have existed for so long that no one truly knows where they are originally.

If this list grew to 14 entries, the only thing I would add (besides Linux, SSH and IRC) would be the disc retainer lock, developed by Abloy about a century ago.
There's also that AIV thing of preserving hay with uric acid (for cattle feed) but it's less applicable nowadays.
Heya Rachael! I would love to see you to try some Finnish music in your channel. There is so much to listein in Finnish or in English or maybe in Swedish. Could give you some good memories about our phenomemal country 😊
wow they did invent alot of things. Never seen the dish rack cupboard.

Yea, Nokia phones, I still use a 20 year old one, no smartphone for me, it makes calls and sends texts, that's all one needs from a phone, the rest can be done on a laptop or tablet. There would be far less pedestrian accidents if people didn't walk around glued to their smartphone screen and actually looked where they are walking. The invention of SMS messaging is typically Finnish, a People of very few words, why spend twenty minutes talking when two will suffice, even better if one doesn't have to talk at all, more reserved than us Brits even.
