Sad!

>shitpost by basically mashing my head to my keyboard
>foreigners think its "banter"
alri

They can only we wuz at this point. It's sad really

Literally all you have to do is not take stuff too seriously and realize that these boards mostly exist for shit posting anyway.

Also Finland is a little too irrelevant for a lot of people to know enough about to be able to banter us properly.

watch you're words... kiddo..

Even after living in Finland for two semesters I was unable to find their secret but here is a theory:

Their education really focuses on problem solving and self-reliance. It's not just buzzwords there like it is in other countries but real.
For example I had a class that was literally "teach yourself anything you want and write a report about it". Grades would only be pass or fail.
Another class was generating IRL business ideas and finding companies to carry them out for.

I think this mindset translates well into shitposting on the internet because Finns are used to search for information for themselves from early on. This leads to both knowledge about specific topics and critical thinking.

These qualities are of course also present in people from other nations but in Finland they are socially enforced qualities.

To achieve this they copied the eastern German education system, which should always be remembered.

...

I find it funny how foreigners praise the shit some finns spew on here. There is good finnish humor here, but most of it, and the most popular things, are just awful, which is expected since it's usually just a poor translation of something from Ylilauta. I guess things must really be bad abroad.

Can you give an example?
I think what people like the most are SICK BURNS caused by Finnish banter, not average memes that are only liked because they are so shitty.
