How about this... You know that Finland has the most heavy metal bands per capita, right? But did you know, that we have heavy metal bands for little kids as well? I'm not talking about somewhat heavy laa-laa kindergarten bands for kids - but highly talented speed metal virtuosos. And I truly mean highly talented metal monsters. For example, here's a band called "Hevisaurus". Name of the band becomes clear once you see them. They are playing a concert for 3-8 year old kids (with their parents, of course). Guest stars in this concert include names like Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius), Marco Hietala (Nightwish), Kiko Loureiro (lead guitarist of Megadeth) - and so many others. All for little kids! It's fantastic! kzread.info/dash/bejne/nn99z7KsmtOtmrQ.html&ab_channel=HevisaurusVEVO

J.R.R Tolkien, the author of the Lord of the Rings, was a linguistic. He was a fan of Finnish language, and decided to to create the language of the Elves, based on Finnish language. He liked Finnish language a lot, because it is so smooth and flowing, so he thought that only Elves (the fairest creatures of them all) should speak such a beautiful words. Is it beautiful? I think it is. Here's a song by a Finnish Traditional Folk Song group called "Värttinä" (it means a Spindle in English). They sing a song called "Ottajat" - "Catchers" in English. I think it's pretty Elvish :) What do you think? kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yp9-vNlmepqZZM4.html&ab_channel=Avi

33:00 What is the point of a fine? It is not to be so punishing that it ruins your life, but be punishing enough so you don't want to keep taking the fines. Lets take speeding as an example. If you have a flat rate of $100 fine for speeding, how is that gonna affect different people? A person earning $1000 dollars a month, the speeding ticket can affect their life enough so they cant pay their rent that month. A person earning $50,000, does it even inconvenience them? Not really. How has the fine affected the life of these 2 people: The poor persons life has had major impact, the rich persons life has had no impact at all. Has the fine done its purpose? Well no. The poor persons life has been affected too much, while the rich person forgot about the incident by the next interjection. Flat rates for fines serve no purpose at all. A fine HAS to be subjective to the persons income to be effective, otherwise they are just a way to punish poor people for misbehaving and letting rich people do whatever they want.

To be perfectly honest most of those "prison breaks" come from prisoners coming back a bit late from their outside holidays. So that is not really a comparable number with countries that do not have open prisons.

KZreadr named Irish in Finland just made a pretty good video on the reasons why Finland aligned with Germany during WW2.

Finland is not the only one to fight on both sides, USSR started the whole thing with Germany and ended up fighting them.

So about fines in Finland. We have two types of fines: fines and day fines. Fines work like anywhere else x€ fine for things like parking violation, bit of speeding etc. Then the day fines are for more extreme versions like speeding a lot over speed limit or crimes. Each day fine is your monthly net income minus 255€ divided by 60. And 3€ is reduced for each kid under 18. Minimum day fine is 6 €. Then depending what you did you are given certain amount of day fines. If you get like 10 day fines for driving 21km/h over the speed limit then your fine is 10x your day fine. At max you can get 120 day fines for one charge and 240 day fines for all charges placed on you. So with a monthly net income of 2000€ your day fine would be (2000-255)/60 = 28.08. and if you get let's say 10 day fines for speeding that's 280,80€ fine for speeding. If you re a kid with no income your day fine is the minimum 6€ and the same speeding ticket of 10 day fines is 60€ for you. It makes sure the fines impact everyone the same rich or poor. And that the rich have to follow laws and are not able to pay pocket change for breaking the law but also not putting poor people to debt.

And the biggest reason why we return our bottles, is because we get a small monetary compensation for it. :D Ranging from like 10 cents for metal cans and 40 cents for bigger plastic bottles, and stuff in between. I once returned enough bottles and cans to get a bit over 50€ in total after a party, and I know people who have racked up even higher sums lol.

About Finns ability to control the weather...that's an interesting one! As a native Finn, that's something I know about, but I also know, that not many people know about it - not even Finns. It is so weird, that this comes up. That is something which usually requires, shall I say, deeper knowledge about history. Not trying to float my own boat, but I do admit that I do know something about this. Well, the short story goes like this; In the ancient times, Finnish witches were feared the most. It was widely held belief, that Finnish witches were the gatekeepers of hell - or the gatekeepers of the underworld - as it was called back in those times. They were feared, because they held the keys of death and eternal damnation in their hands. Norse people and the Vikings have heard about this, and they figured, that if they (Finnish witches or Finnish people) have such powers - to control the gates of the underworld, and decide the fate of the living - controlling the weather would be a trivial feat to them.

Our old factory had an old sauna now used as storage space. They are literally everywhere, from corporate offices to apartments to the parliament itself.

All so those holes on that golf course is in different time zone, so when you hit the ball up in the air in right place it comes down 1 hour later or earlier, depends where you hit it.

Funny video. I'd say that over half of the photos or video clips aren't even from Finland when they are talking about Finland.... and pea soup day is on Thursday.

Schools and courses in Finland teach Finnish, English and Swedish languages. But in many years ago, some schools moved the learning of the Swedish language to an optional subject, so not everyone has studied it, and that language is rarely needed in Finland, so the language skills can be rusty for many Finnish residents over the years. Like, when you go to a grocery store in Finland, the products are always in Swedish and Finnish, at least. Other languages ​​in the products may be German, English, etc., depending on whether the product is sold more widely in the world. So the Finnish state is trying to keep the Swedish language alive in Finland, in many ways.

The Baltic Shield, which is beneath Finland is a craton, some of the oldest parts of Earth. The same bedrock has moved from the point where South Africa is now without being buried below any continental crust, nor covered with lava from volcanoes. We are talking about 3-4 billion year old bedrock. Cratons are special as they lighter than other parts of the crust and it floats above magma, being twice as thick with tendrils that expand deeper towards earths core than other formations. This means... no earthquakes and so solid bedrock that if you dig a cave to it, it will remain there for millions to billions of years. The tunnels and caves also are self supporting, which is also why there are a LOT of national defense, both military and civilian, dug underground to nuclear blast proof structures. Helsinki is the only city with underground zoning: it is a city that is planned in 3D, below and above ground. There are hundreds of miles of tunnels, some of them secret.... That is what 70 years of planning does...

And yes, we use euro. 👍

Virtually every man in Finland can maintain and operate a an military automatic assault rifle (RK62 aka M62) with quite deadly accuracy. Most ordinary Finnish men are capable to hit a matchbox sized object 600m away with that gun - or same object 800m (½ a mile) away with sniper rifle (SAKO TRG 42, one of the best in the world) equipped with scope. Average Finnish snipers on the other hand, can easily take out enemy a mile away with that gun. And it's not only automatic rifles we can handle, it's semi-automatic pistols, submachine guns, bolt-action rifles, hand grenades, various explosives (TNT, plastic explosives, like m-hexogen), mortars, mines, claymores (not the Scottish two-handed sword, but an area-effective mine loaded with thousands of deadly lead pellets), light anti-tank weapons, satchel charges etc. And that's just what average Finnish man knows how to use. Finnish special forces take it way beyond that. Can't talk too much about it, thou :) In all seriousness; It's kinda funny to think whenever I go outside and see ordinary family men with their wife and kids strolling about - that all of those men are actually quite well trained soldiers - and nowadays quite a lot of Finnish woman too. So, if the war breaks out, all we need is some automatic military rifles, couple of hand grenades and some basic equipment on top of that for every man and military trained woman - and all of a sudden - we have a military force close to 2 million! That would make us the 2nd largest military force in the world (overshadowed only by China for a very small margin). And that, combined with largest artillery force in the Europe, combined with Finnish air force (US made F18-Hornets and Lockheed Martin F35-Lightning II fighters ), and a recent membership of NATO- well, good luck...russia (Yes, I deliberately wrote russia with a low-case r -and I will continue to do so as long as Putin - or any other nutcase like him is in charge of that country).

Finland paying reparations in full is just a Finnish thing. What else are you suppose to do but to do it? You grit your teeth and white knuckle it until it is done. As a bonus, it kickstarted Finnish industrial sector and boosted the economy to a prosperity that we can now enjoy... It all can be tracer back to the incessant and almost fanatical need to pay your debts. It is irrational, and it has a lot to do with the concept of sisu. You just got to do it and that is it. What started from the sheer determinations to pay the reparations directly lead to the success of Nokia.

A big misconception even in Finland is that the civil war was Swedes against Finns. It was instead about social injustice and many Swedish speakers including my grandfather fought for the Reds. He participated in three more wars and died in the last one.

You'd think Finland and Sweden are "tight" but no, we don't like them actully.

Problem with these "101 facts about this and that"-videos is that they shoot facts (sometimes inaccurate facts) rapidly in your face. Most of those facts about Finland would need a separate, longer video about it, where things are properly explained. Otherwise the viewer just ends up with a "wa-what?" expression on his face. When things are properly explained, people get it. There are so many fantastic things about Finland, and I wish someday, someone makes a proper detailed video about all of those things. I would do it...but I'm far too busy...painting...erm...my horse! Back to the issue in hand...For example, and this is a quite big one as things come. The commentator in that video said, that Linux operating system is an Finnish invention...and sort of left it there. That is of course true, but he forgot to mention what it actually means. So what it means? Well, it means that over 95% of the internet servers are running Linux OS. Let me repeat; over 95% of servers in the internet are running Linux Operating System. So what does that mean? It simply means, that there would be no internet without Linux. It means, that I would not be able to watch your videos, and you would not be able to receive my messages. There would be no internet without Linux. Thanks to Finnish Inventor, Linus Torvalds, we do have an internet.

Swedish became the language of the nobility and the upper bourgeoisie, and priests and scholars were also forced to use it as their official language. The Finnish language was in danger of being disguised, because it could not be used with the authorities, and newspapers were not written in it or enough non-fiction was prepared. During the entire connection between the two countries, Finns were considered a separate nation and due to the language issue, they did not have the same rights as Swedes. Swedish kings rarely visited Finland and Finns were considered more primitive than Swedes or Germans and their language inferior.
