2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Err...[edit]

Err... Move to fun? VirileSterileyawn! 16:26, 17 October 2007 (EDT)

Actually, I think fun:finland already exists. ThunderkatzHo! 16:29, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!This is a valid account of finnish history and culture!!!The AlienDon't tase me, Bro!!! 16:38, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
I for one strongly endorses the factuality of this article. Except it fails to mention how all Finns are perpetually drunk. And wear knives. And such. :nods: --AKjeldsenGodspeed! 16:47, 17 October 2007 (EDT)

A drunken Finn must be a wealthy Finn with the price of booze! Susantalk to me 16:53, 17 October 2007 (EDT)

That's why 96.6220% of all Finns also operate illicit distilleries. --AKjeldsenGodspeed! 16:56, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
...and wear knives. -Smyth 16:59, 17 October 2007 (EDT)


Aha! I smell liberal deceit - that percentage came too easily to be true.I suspect it is more like 91.68% Fermented reindeer droppings make excellent booze. Susantalk to me 17:02, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
Oh noes! My nefarious liberal plot has been revealed. :-( --AKjeldsenGodspeed! 17:12, 17 October 2007 (EDT)

Needs moar sauna + ice lakes (which is what the Finns are mostly known for all around the world, let's be honest!) Nullahnung (talk) 02:13, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

That recent revert[edit]

Swedish is actually the other national language in Finland besides Finnish, as I understand. So if the Finnish name of the country is listed, it's only fair if the Swedish name is, too. Though, strangely, listing the native name(s) of the country in question seems to be done on nearly no other country page, so, eh... still, fair is fair ;) Octo8 (talk) 16:52, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

People say Finns are stoic[edit]

Like this: Two Fins go fishing (read: drinking while holding a fishing rod). After two hours of complete silence the first Finn says: "They don't seem to bite" Replies the second: "That's cause you can't shut up". Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 01:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Cleaning up[edit]

There is a dead domain in the references that tries to install something shady.

Also, as a finn, I want to know if you would like that I add some small anecdotes about Finnish peoples mentalities that could be within the scope of RationalWiki?
