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.

      You mean “I’m too scared to answer” or “I literally won’t form a single opinion of my own based on anything I see until the government tells me what I’ve seen?”

      You know I’m sure if they measured happiness in NK, they’d have topped the chart and Finland would just be #2. Just you know, like as a sidenote.

      So you can’t say how it’s possible I spend several days of meals worth of time in a cell, while mutilating myself physically, because I was denied my prescription medication which prevents me from going fucking insane, which resulted in me drawing on the fucking walls in my own blood?

      You have no idea whether there may be any criminal responsibilty with the people who prevented me from getting healthcare while DENYING my medications (and even at one point turning off my water)?

      Tätä mä tarkotin koko langan alussa. Koko Suomi on täynnä samanlaisii itsetärkeit paskahousuja ketkä ei oikeesti uskalla puhua mistään ja patologisesti välttelee kritiikkiä valtiota kohtaan. Fakin insane.

      More excuses and more avoidance.

      Zero explanation.

      “NO NO NO THOSE PHOTOS ARENT REAL :(((((”

      Vitun mammanpoika.

      Give me an explanation as to what you think happened. Also, look up the ECHR definition for torture, because it’ll help your tiny closed off authoritarian mind to understand why this qualifies.

      “I already said I have no capability of forming my opinion. What more do you want from me [to prove your point about Finns being unable to form their own opinions]”.

      Nothing, really. Your incapability to answer direct and simple questions put to you is proof of what I’ve been saying all along. That’s why I’ve said it. And that’s why were at the limit. There is no limit to the amathia of the vast majority of Finns. It’s endemic. And you exemplify it perfectly.

      “No I have no idea how you could have gotten a finger like that, despite your pages and pages of explicit explanation.”

      “No I have no idea how someone could manage to mangle them so badly as to write MORE THAN A NOVEL’S WORTH with their own blood on the walls while under ‘supervision for their safety’.”

      “I just can’t form an opinion until the government tells me to.”

      You know I enjoyed the military as well, but I’m assuming you weren’t put into AUK with that amount of cognitive capability.

      Congrats, you managed to be avoidant so much that Lemmy won’t even allow a deeper thread.

      You simply are too much of a paskahousu to answer the very clear questions I’ve put to you. The amount of self-deception you’ve publically shat into this thread would be incredible if I hadn’t seen it thousands of times before in other Finns.

      You’ve gone days without being able to utter a single opinion, just stomping your foot “no no no no no”.

      That’s an itkupotkuraivari. A temper tantrum.

      You’re emotionally stunted, my man. You don’t have a basic capacity for empathy, and you’re too much of a coward to even try when someone points it out. Utterly pathetic.

      Give me a single opinion on what happened. “I don’t know.” You mean “I’m too much of a paskahousu to even think what I know to be true.”

      You can’t utter a single opinion, yet you’re too stubborn to just tuck your tail and run away, as you do from the subject at hand.

      This is exactly why I brought this up. To make someone like you come and challenge it and then prove how wilfully ignorant of an authoritarian sycophant you are. Not like I haven’t explained it literally a couple of dozen times already, but you like to pretend, because you can’t admit to yourself what a coward you are. Paskahousu.

      Tell me a single opinion of yours of what you think happened to me based on the photos and the story provided. Anything. Call me a schizophrenic who faked them with AI or something, I don’t care. Give me an opinion of yours. Show me that I’m not totally right in that Finns are actually culturally so emotionally stunted that it genuinely affects the cognitive capacity. Please, man. I have no faith anymore in Finns, and your pathetic bullshit is just re-enforcing that view. Grow some balls and prove me wrong and address the subject, no matter what your opinion. As long as you fucking have one.

      It’s not a courtesy. It’s an extension of your willfull ignorance. You simply can not answer simple questions about what you think happened because of psychological blocks you have.

      It’s incredible, I know, but the facts speak to the matter. So you know… my point about Finns being emotionally stunted evasive avoidant assholes stands pretty strongly at 100% when you literally say “I’m avoiding this conversation, willfully.”

      Because you’re a coward who can’t accept reality. That’s unfortunately common in the Finnish spirit, and I aim to change it. That’s why I’m a patriot and you’re a coward.

      edit It’s maximum depth of a thread, apparently.

      Still pathologically avoiding any kind of answer.

      Don’t you see how sick that is?

      For the umpteenth time: If you en countered someone who ate themselves, drew with blood on the walls etc, and you didn’t see that they got medical attendance, you’d be guilty of heitteillejättö.

      I was supposedly under constant supervision.

      I ate myself, as evidenced from the picture, drew several flesh wound on my body which caused permanent scarring, and wrote over 300 words on the walls with my own blood BECAUSE MY PRESCRIBED MEDICATIONS WERE WITHHELD BY THE GUARDS.

      So what is your explanation why I didn’t get healthcare? Why I didn’t get my meds?

        I think your app is just acting up. Or you used some banned words or something. Because I haven’t blocked you. You can also try to reply to some other comment of mine or send a dm when those issues come up to see if those go through.

      You keep saying you have accepted criticism of Finland while actively avoiding any explanation of what happened to me and profusely denying any evidence put to you while still not giving an alternative explanation as to what would’ve have been the more likely thing.

      You’re just totally paralysed by your inability to accept reality. Paskahousu.

      You can’t answer the questions I’ve put to you more than a dozen times because you’re a paskahousu afraid of accepting reality. Prove me wrong and tell me any legal version of events. Or tell me I faked the photos. ANYTHING. But you can’t form a single fucking opinion.

      It’s pathetic.

      Photographs aren’t claims.

      You’ve pathetically avoided giving a single explanation to them. Its disgusting, and anyone should realise that sort of unquestioning authoritarian thinking will fuck up Finland. Or has already.

      How do you explain the bloody cell?

      You simply can’t answer that question. You won’t. You’re too afraid.

      —--------—----—

      Edit the coward blocks me, because he can’t answer. Replyblocking is so childish.

      Here’s a reply to that comment below this one to the pathetic coward @Kusimulkku

        Photographs aren’t showing what you hope they do. I mean you’ve clearly had some episode, no doubt, but it doesn’t mean you were tortured.

        Without anything more there’s nothing to do here. Sorry.
