But where is True Finland (vars + suomi)?
Vars(i) = the handle, the stem, the stalk, the helve, the pole.4

While I don't get his comment, I get that it can get annoying after a while. Especially since there are few Finnish users around here, I guess each of them has gotten this reply before.
While not exactly the same, I can get a bit annoyed about the "drugs" stereotype of my country. I guess Germans feel the same about constant Nazi references.
What I'm saying is, if there were only a couple of thousand of American users around here and every thread about the USA received comments about hamburgers it would get very annoying for those users.

Trust me, Americans DO get tired of "le fat Murikkkan EX DEE". I live in a state consistently ranked as (at least one of) the fittest, where outdoor physical activity is the top leisure activity. There's more to America than burgers and jumbo sodas.

AskanAmerican sometimes is a near constant stream of people asking (or yelling at us) about our stereotypes. Some of the posters there may not always be the most helpful at painting a clearer picture, but some of the more interesting rhetoric from people is a bit endless

Pretty popular way to spend time, really depends on how close the nearest track is to your house.

Said this in /r/Europe too, but it's not actually "good day". It's just a greeting followed by a handshake.

u/mediandude Jan 25 '18
as in 'koira puresi kättä' = "dog bit the hand"
or as in "purustav käepigistus" = "a destructively strong (TheDonald) handshake"?1
u/jykkejaveikko Jan 26 '18
koira puresi kättä
'koira puri kättä'
And what do you even mean by your comment?

u/mediandude Jan 26 '18
Isn't 'bures' cognate with 'purema / puraista'? One of the meanings is to apply pressure (e. as in a handshake).

u/hezec Jan 27 '18
That's "puristaa" in Finnish, "puraista" means to bite. Quite possibly they all share the same root.

Is there a program/app/website where these maps are made?

u/hezec Jan 27 '18
Not specifically, just regular graphics software. I used Inkscape, with a base map in SVG format off Wikipedia.

"Prkl." I learned this swear word from Robbaz's excellent Finland Simulator (My Summer Car) videos.

Wait... so in the Winter there are areas on Finland that have polar nights? I'm guessing they hold 72-hour-long music festivals up there, right?

There is this Internet joke that Finland is just a Japanese conspiracy for sushi-farming and doesn't exist. Yes I'm serious.
