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.

    It’s just that to show intent is quite hard. If you had a court case or something this would be a lot easier.

    Not that I would still know what you think this has to do with the actual topic at hand, mind you.

      And still, you’re not accepting any fault by them.

      Its disgusting. If you saw someone bleeding and eating them and you were the only one around and didn’t call an ambulance, that’s a crime. If you deprive someone their prescription medications on purpose, that’s definitely a crime. If you detain someone, legally or illegally and SHUT OFF THEIR WATER, you’ve actually committed a crime against humanity.

      No, ofc I have trouble proving this. Might be because every Finn suffer from the same as you. I asked for the video through GDPR request, then again through my lawyer, then when he rang them after they charged me with vandalism, the lawyer said we got to get it, and they had “lost it”.

      I be explained it to you literally more than a dozen times what it has to do with the topic.

      Is your full username Kusimulkku Paskahousu? Because so far, you keep pretend not to have seen the photos, then pretend not to have seen that there’s blood when I specifically explained it several times. With the explanation of why this example is relevant. Again. A dozen times. A dozen times. Twelve. More than. Is this the amount of repetition you need?

      What on Earth is your bar for evidence for even questioning that the authorities may have broken laws?

      And WHY would you rather delude yourself and try stupid lies like you constantly do. No you didn’t forget, you left the convo, no you didn’t miss the blood, you ignored it, and you’re still to to this minute, absolutely refusing to accept any criticism of Finland.

        I’m not refusing to accept any criticism of Finland. You’ve so far only tried this one criticism of you having been tortured. Of that I’m not sure if it has happened.

        You might try some other criticism and we might see if I accept any of that. This one seems like a bust.

          You’re literally ignoring photographic evidence.

          Delusions don’t get harder than that, paskahousu
