Man flights to Finland are too expensive, got to start a local league

Try convincing people to stay completely naked with other unknown dudes in an extremely hot room

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

You're going to the wrong parties, friend.

It's a great time actually. Done it for years in Japan. Its not hard not to stare at other people's junk...right?

[-] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I mean, how many people here have been to Japan?

[-] Roundcat@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

Considering how many weebs are here, either everybody or nobody.

Really hope this isn't fake and gay, and just gay

[-] Lorindol@sopuli.xyz 22 points 2 years ago

No, it's very real. They even sell rank badges, which are apparently sold out at the moment:

Sauna Gollum is a delightful Finnish party game. The person chosen as Sauna Gollum goes under the sauna benches to poke the people sitting on them from underneath. The first one to stand up becomes the new Sauna Gollum. Great game among naked friends. Since the game is very demanding, you will start at the candidate stage and work your way to the esteemed Sauna Gollum rank through rigorous training.

Remember, it's not gay if the balls don't touch. Not gay in this case.

[-] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Remember is also not bad if it's gay. We love our gay brothers.

It's a 4chan thing where someone answers to a "true story" that it's fake and gay, just like the "this is a Bangladeshi knitting forum"

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah I know but this was a joking reaction to the post since they said they don't want it to be fake (ie. It implies they would like to play this game)

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

As would everyone, including you

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 34 points 2 years ago

Seems pretty obvious: it's the person under the bench who is the gollum (?). Not sure they thought this through.

[-] Sylver@lemmy.world 52 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The game is to try and pretend you don’t have a finger up your ass (if the gollum has their finger up your ass). Then everyone takes turns looking around and figuring out who actually has a finger up their ass, so they call the bluff of the person who is pretending to not have a finger up their ass.

If you guess correctly, you get to be the gollum whom is immune to having a finger up their ass.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The real game is to guess wrongly. Nobody wants a stinky finger.

Anyway, the game is broken because whoever has a finger in their asshole has probably noticed and is able to guess right or wrong depending on taste.

It doesn't work with mixed genders either. Nobody is going to poke uncle Juha when stepsister Aino is also there.

So, it's not much of game, but just a regular gay time.

[-] Strangle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

They should just cut to the chase and suck each others dicks

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

seems like the only way to win is not to play

Wait..

I was following up until this point.

I thought the point of being the gollum was you get to put your finger in someone's ass, not that you don't get to have one in yours

[-] Sylver@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That would certainly make sense, yes. I admit my information may not be 100% accurate, maybe we should get some hands-on experience

[-] Rootiest@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I always say the best way to learn is to get your hands dirty

[-] nueonetwo@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 years ago

They have to guess which one of them has the gollums finger up their ass, not who is fingering ass

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Oh, I've never played before so I didn't get the rules. I was thinking the person with the finger had to guess whose finger it was...

[-] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Gollum puts his finger in the ass of the victim and tries to make them squirm. Then everyone tries to guess who the victim is by going one at a time, in order. If they guess correctly Gollum wins and goes again, if they guess wrong then the victim wins and becomes Gollum. There is strategy in who you pick if you're Gollum, if you pick someone too early in the order they might be able to hold their composure. If your pick someone too late then people have more chances to guess the wrong person before they get to the victim.

It's a lot like Among Us except everyone is naked and one of the crewmates has a finger in his ass.

[-] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe it's dark in the sauna? Idk.

My contribution to the discussion is that the Greek phrase for "(in) my ass", if said in a hasty/hillbilly way, sounds pretty similar to Gollum. Might even call in to question the true nationality of this game's visionary inventor.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

I would like to know the Greek phrase plox

[-] walderan@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

(στον) κώλο μου / (ston) kolo mou. Ideally spoken, with an accent close to the dude in the middle:

Thnx! Another foreign dirty phrase aquired!

[-] bug@lemmy.one 15 points 2 years ago

I hate and love this post, as Gollum hates and love The Ring and himself

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

Sticking his finger in your ring huh? My prescious indeed 😂

[-] Potato_in_my_anus@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

The finger is too small... 😏

And I thought they had weird pranks here in Japan.

Are you sure it ISN'T a Japanese game show?

Nothing gay about it. It's just a game you play with a bunch of naked sweaty men in a small room. Saunas are super hetero.

I'm kind of curious as to how the hobbit and lord of the rings were translated into Finnish now

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

All I can tell you is there's a lot more fingers in assholes in the Finnish version

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago
[-] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

There's an actual Finnish film version of LotR, if you want to do the research:
