and when I ask which ones they like to drink they always reply "idk they're all good"

tfw someone offers tea, and I'm like "sure why not", and then they present me with a thousand different kinds of tea to choose between

This is really an untranslatable pun, because the words for "mangas" and "mangoes" are identical in Finnish. But close enough.

In Japan, everybody reads mangos.

My Nokia 8 is in for warranty repairs (multiple faults) and in the meanwhile, I'm using my boyfriend's old Moto E (2015).

It's all about perspective, right? I mean, back in 2010 this would have been an amazing flagship-level phone!

Or at least that's what I tell myself to stay sane when using it.

If you live in a country where there is an election today, then it would probably be good for you if you vote. Otherwise idk 🤔

This rock is firmly attached to this traffic sign 🤔

The metro of Helsinki was built with shady planning, bribes, was opened much shorter than originally planned, was much more expensive than planned, and took too long to build. On top of that, it might not even have been necessary at the time (the documents on that were illegally kept secret).

Yet today, it is hard to imagine Helsinki without it. Helsinki has grown with its metro (it is now much longer than the original plans) and it is now integral to the public transport of the city.

update: I ate a pizza

feelin like havin some pizza

I will keep you updated

The three stations that currently have passenger traffic are Turku satama, Turku, and Kupittaa. All the stations west of Turku, north of Jäkärlä (inclusive), and Nunna, Piikkiö, and Paimio are former stations that used to have passenger traffic. The rest are fictional.

All of this track exists, and only Jyrkkälä-Naantali lacks electricity. However, it would definitely need to be widened to at least double track in order for this to be feasible.

I drew a fictional map of what local/commuter trains might look like in Turku (my hometown).

(3 of these stations currently have passenger traffic, 8 of them have station buildings, and 12 of them have at some point had passenger traffic but no longer do. The rest are entirely fictional.)

(Finnish language) Incredible piece of investigative journalism revealing the truth about ketchup cups at fast food places: they were never intended to be opened in the first place.
