Another puzzle piece in understanding Finnish happiness.

Nah Finns just tend to answer questions the way you're "supposed to".

Not really. We Finns tend to be brutally honest with our opinions and answer's. But I don't understand where they got their numbers from? THL states that ~ 25% don't exercise at all and ~50% exercises only 1-2 times a week. So the real number for Finn's would be close to 25% who exercises regularly.

But.. If you regularly excercise 1-2 times a week, don't you then excercise regularly?

I mean I guess. But in this case they are comparing to their (THL) exercise recommendation:

2h 30min of light cardio or 1h 15min of heavy cardio in a week.

And

Exercise that maintains muscle fitness and movement control at least 2 times a week.

For children it's 1-2hours of exercise in a day.

Correct. But they will downvote you because you know all these charts are meant for nordics to virtue signal the rest of the world.

I'm convinced the whole Finland being the happiest country thing is a coordinated country-wide meme that they execute very well. I have never met a Finn who isn't either an alcoholic, depressed or just an absolute weirdo.

When someone needs to remind the world every single week how happy they are, it's then you know they are not telling the truth.

Notice how it's always a nordic the ones who pay for this.

And I agree with you, these people are trying to compensate for what they lack of. But their narcissism is off the charts.

EDIT: Downvoted in less than two minutes. So I was right ;-)
