I know you’re not a bot, but this comment sounds exactly like the bots on Reddit at one point. :D 🤖 🤖 🤖

They’re probably more sophisticated these days though. Wouldn’t know for sure though, haven’t checked in a while.

How about the Finnish version:

“Reform te spelling” hau vuud juu gou abaut tät?

This is why we should only use Python. :)

So great for programming, with no downsides. Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before?

I’m a genius, i know.

Wikipedia didn’t turn evil? The website by Wikimedia who hired an union busting firm when their workers tried to unionize?

XD

I give to you in exchange for banana.

To complete the full circle around the Nordics, I’ll mention that “dorka” comes from the Swedish word “dåre”, which translates to “fool” or “lunatic”.

Dorka is an outdated slang word for a dumbass in Finnish lol.

A word I haven’t heard in at least a decade.

They’re often crammed very tight in Europe as well, but it depends on the type of egg you buy.

Having a tiny bit of shit on it is uncommon, and people understand that it’s going to happen sometimes with a natural product that comes out of a chicken’s ass.

We Europeans don’t eat the shell.

Important to note that Qwant still uses the Bing search index everywhere except for France and Germany, where they use the Staan search index, which is being developed together with Ecosia.

I’m sure the more people use it, the faster they can expand, though.

Using it from Finland myself, quite satisfied with it even with this Bing nonsense. Only have to use Google for VERY RARE cases.

I prefer the 7 second boot time of BaseOS+NextUI.

Washing breaks the natural anti-bacterial barrier of eggs, leaving them prone to salmonella, and they have to be refrigerated to avoid contamination.

I have no idea why they do this.

Just check their Wikipedia page.

non-US search engine (start page)

Startpage is owned by an American advertising company.

Try Qwant or Ecosia. They’re working together to develop an independent search index (Staan) and it’s already in use in France and Germany.

You wouldn’t download a Bill Gates.

The fact that this has 62 upvotes is making me lose brain cells.

This happened in Finland. The guy in charge is Petteri Orpo.

Edit: And his asshole cabinet of ministers.

Very likely, considering which political parties are in charge.

I call this government coalition “persrukous” (ass prayer):

pers: persut, short for “Perussuomalaiset” (Finns Party, far right)
ru: Suomen ruotsalainen kansanpuolue (Swedish People’s Party of Finland, centrist liberal, will do anything the coalition wants as long as everyone is forced to learn the language of the 5% linguistic minority, it’s always been like this no matter who the governing parties are)
ko: Kokoomus (National Coalition Party, centre-right/right wing liberal conservative, your typical neoliberal demons who only care about making the rich even richer and punishing the poor for existing, they lead the coalition)
us: uskovaiset = the religious = Kristillisdemokraatit (Christian Democrats, right wing, they’re pretty much NCP but they love Israel even more and hate everything)

Any sublemmy that’s name starts with “fuck”.

Always a miserable time, even if I agree with the sentiment of some of those places.

Humans were not designed to endure this 24/7 flood of miserable shit happening all over the world, which you can’t have an effect on anyway.

It’s often better to engage with it in a controlled manner, at least in my opinion, especially if you’re already suffering from multiple severe mental health disorders like me, even without these things making it A LOT worse.
