Fuck a wall between Norway and Sweden, burn that bridge down to separate Denmark and Sweden again imo.
The "18% of Swedish people born abroad are from Finland" data is kinda skewed, the main reason behind that is the mass migration that happened in the 60s. It doesn't really represent current immigration patterns so you can sleep your nights safe and sound.
Hahaha actually one of my friends dad is from that part of Sweden where they still speak Finnish.

They may have removed the visual from the newer once but I just checked my wallet and currently the dong coins outnumber the non-dong coins 4 to 1.

Please take back Skåne, we're still uncapable of understanding them.
Agree.
You can have Skåne. Hands off Halland though.
That's on you.
Nah it's on them for sounding like a drunk person 24/7.

Glad to hear our underlings are still working to get back to their real overlords!
Only up north it gets like that. Sweden is a long country so down south here its not like that
I like the darkness of the winter actually
Also, yay I guess?
That's nice! In the U.S. a huge black cloud is hovering over the entire country.
You mean orange?
You mean Trump?
So poetic...
You should move to glorious Sweden.
plz dont
I paid 0$ for my degree here
Cheap healthcare, good public transport, internet service is top tier mostly, aaah

Looking from Finland it's not even dark in southern sweden. You guys live in deep south!
Don't have to go that far north, photo was taken west of Stockholm.
For someone at the very south of Sweden, Stockholm is 5+hours north of travel time.
But yea in Sweden as a whole its not far north.
Seeing the great show "Midnattssol" I got an interest in it a bit. There are some pretty big differences in this country in terms of whether. Only been up north to ski, never during the summer.

Sun is setting in Umeå now, maybe 30-40 more min of sunlight.

For someone at the very north, Stockholm is 15+ hours south.
Or 35 hours, when the train breaks down in the middle of nowhere in -40 C and has to be towed back to some remote village to get some warmth and fika.

The US has the population of UK, Germany, France, Spain and Canada combined with a decent amount to spare.
Even here in a shitty state like Alabama there is over 4 million.

I love it, best time of the year. Doesn't give me sleeping troubles but probably does for some people.
I live in Austria now and I do notice the difference. Keep in mind that it's not linear, so the farther north you go the quicker the light disappears. Austria isn't exactly bright during the winters either though. For me the difference is less in the hours of sunlight and more the quality of that light. In Stockholm in winter you need to turn on the lights indoor to read something even at noon because the sun just doesn't go very far above the horizon.
Practice on this
The annoying part is the 6 (or even less if you go further north) hours of sunlight per day near winter solstice.

To be fair that is because how fricking big US is by land area. Population density in US (32/km^2) is way closer to Sweden (22/km^2) than to country like Germany (230/km^2).
Shouldn't it be more like: "Norway and Sweden are to Denmark what Taiwan is to China?"

Eh. Little over 0C is much worse than little under 0. All snow transforms to slush and it's not like there is much difference between -2 and +2 in terms of clothing you need.

Going to Iceland (just over 300k total) was an eye opener, especially once you get out of Reykjavík. You can drive for an hour and count the number of other humans you see on one hand.

Exactly. Amazing how people can't comprehend US is roughly the size of Europe. They seem to think one country means tens of millions by default or something.
Not only that you have Canada above you with just 35 million with a huge land mass but it's mostly not habitable. Sweden is the same. 10 million is quite large for the geography. Funny to see people bring up two regions of California and New York. These are ultimately two populated areas in a land mass comparable to Europe and don't even represent the US as a whole.
Europe is 600-700 million people while US is 300+ million.
England is a tiny place that could slot in the US land as a random state and dwarf every other region.
You want to bring up Cali, 38 million for 163k square miles, how about England 50k square miles and 55 million.
Sure, but then there are those days when it's something like -10 or -15, so after a period of that suddenly actually getting positive degrees Celsius feels warm and amazing af. But yeah, if there's snow on the ground and then you start getting positive temperatures it's gonna be awful for a while with all the slush and you'd just rather it stay cold lol.
I don't think the Danes will understand them either at this point, they're too far gone, their weird mixture of Swedish and Danish has evolved into its own beast entirely

Congrats to Sweden. Y'all have a pretty cool country, from what I've heard. I'd like to visit some day.
You know, this also puts things into perspective. The entire population of Sweden is equal to the population of North Carolina. I sometimes forget just how large each US state is relatively to many entire countries.

Size wise we're about the size of a US state, just a ton of space without people living, tons of forest and shitty cold places

Sir!
Why are so many bailing out of Finland?
Nah your eastern neighbour will just bail you out, again.

It's mainly the swedish speaking minority in Finland that emigrates to Sweden.
Sweden have a much better national ice-hockey team.
So many? According to Statistics Finland (link in Finnish) only 2363 finns moved to Sweden in 2015. Most of the finns currently living in Sweden moved there years ago.
Grattis Sverige!
