Finland is named the happiest country in the world for the eighth year in a row, according to the World Happiness Report 2025 published Thursday.
Other Nordic countries are also once again at the top of the happiness rankings in the annual report published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford. Besides Finland, Denmark, Iceland and Sweden remain the top four and in the same order.
Country rankings were based on answers people give when asked to rate their own lives. The study was done in partnership with the analytics firm Gallup and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.
When it comes to decreasing happiness — or growing unhappiness —the United States has dropped to its lowest-ever position at 24, having previously peaked at 11th place in 2012. The report states that the number of people dining alone in the United States has increased 53% over the past two decades.
I’m thoroughly puzzled by what the fuck you are on about
Read the conversation back and see how many times you’ve even implicitly acknowledged I was stuck in a cell writing with blood on the walls, breaking my basic human rights.
The fact that I have to actually spell it out for you IS the problem. That IS the avoidance I’m talking about.
You came to this thread to tell me Finnish people don’t do the exact thing you’re doing. Congrats.
It’s always the same, and I’m tired of how deeply embedded that is in Finnish culture.
Who peed in your cornflakes today?
So you’re trying to score internet points by ridiculing a victim of torture.
Cool beans man, definitely proves me wrong, right?
Nope. Just asking who peed in your cornflakes today.
Why?
Because I can’t be criticising me being tortured and that torture being ignore by literally every single Finnish person I know isn’t a good enough reason to be annoyed, someone must have “pissed in my breakfast”.
For your info, I can’t eat milk anymore. The PTSD I got was so bad my GI symptoms got wildly over fucked and now I’m on a really restrictive diet.
But hey.
At least you made a comment you think is wisecrackin as fuck. “Put me in my place”, right, gansta?
