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.

Again.

Denial.

Literal refusal to even acknowledge the torture that happened.

You believe in things which don't exist and refuse to believe in shit that exists, while saying that it's not a problem that all Finns have that level or reality-escaping built into them.

You're literally deluded worse than North Koreans.

You can not accept a single fault in Finland.

I like the country, which is why I despise cowards like you. Vitun paskahousu.

You're living in a complete fucking fiction.

I have evidence and I can discuss reality — something which a coward like you is literally unable to even conceive.

I have no trouble seeing the faults in Finnish system. Again, nobody thinks we're perfect, far from it. But I have no idea about your personal stuff wtf.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

You are quite literally avoiding even saying there is a fault to begin with.

When confronted with photographic evidence of torture.

Tä on just sitä välttelyä mistä mä puhuin.

It's called avoidance. And it's a sickeningly strong trait in Finnish. I don't think you understand how deeply that trait is connected to the Finnish people. It's literally in the language when you know what you're looking for. But you can't see it when it's shoved in your face so you definitely won't understand it on that level.

I'm thoroughly puzzled by what the fuck you are on about

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

So you're trying to score internet points by ridiculing a victim of torture.

Cool beans man, definitely proves me wrong, right?

[-] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 weeks ago

Nope. Just asking who peed in your cornflakes today.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[-] MrFinnbean@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Im confused. What happened to you?

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

A long fucking story that no Finns believe.

Despite me still having the scars and photos to prove it.

Cops deleted the video material.

Tried charging them and reaching out to oikeuasiamies the ombudsman, and they refused to accept fault either.

But do tell if you think cutting of water from a person in active psychosis (because you refused to give them their prescribed medications as "unnecessary"), who's actively bleeding, after he's not slept for three days, is, idk... appropriate and in accordance with Finnish values? (Because it's not in accordance with the universal declaration of basic human rights)
