    Ha ha, your belief that we Finns are lacking emotions is totally wrong!! We just more calm in public.

    The crucial thing about the baby box was not necessarily just the box itself, but that to get it expecting mothers had to visit (free) pre-natal clinics. To this day, to get the box you need to visit a maternity and child health clinic before your 18th week of pregnancy.

    One of the main reasons for excessive coffee drinking is the same as with excessive alcohol consumption. Prohibition. The crown tried several times to ban coffee, but failed. And every time it became more important. There was at least three instances when this happened.

      I didn't know that coffee was banned? When was that?

    • @RakosMcHill
      @RakosMcHill 17 дней назад

      ⁠prohibitions were attempted along other limitations: 1756 - 1792. Full ban was tried several times, some years at the time.
      1943 Finland was completely dry due to war efforts.

    We don't lack emotions, but we just don't like to show them in public. On the fines, the purpose of them is not to collect money or pay off the police, but to be a punishment. And to get roughly equal punishment to somebody who is a millionaire or to somebody who is a pensioner, it absolutely makes sense in my opinion to have the payment be proportional to income. On the coffee times, for many people, me included, NATO coffee also was a thing, a once-in-a-lifetime coffee moment when Finland officially joined NATO.
    Btw, the flag proportions on the video are not correct (the cross is way too thin). The law actually requires the flags to be to the specification, and actually somebody who uses as a Finnish flag a flag that clearly differs by color or measures clearly from the one set in the law is to be fined. I'm not making this up, it's the law 26.5.1978/380 8 §. I doubt anyone would fine based on a video, but the law on the flag in general is quite strict.

    Regarding number 5, we Finns just seem to be "content" most of the time. I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be due to our history as a nation that's always had to numb its emotions to survive under the might of a bigger country, like Sweden and then the Russian Empire. Even today, we're talking and presenting scenarios regarding the nation that keeps having issues with Ukraine's sovereignty.

      Just my hypothesis, but I feel that a major reason for happiness is that you don't see people flaunting their wealth. In general, people are the same even when their bank balances might not be.

    Got amgry when lack of emotions was mentioned and that almost made me cry as well - coffee consumption: turned 20 in 1981 and I've drank four and a half cups of coffee since then. Before that one cup a year. I don't like coffee. Last two cups: 16th of October 2016 my other son wanted me to taste black coffee and when my spouse had birthday on 4th of 2000 I had a small cup of coffee with milk...
