Finns I work with are really good at hiding this. Must be their secret formula.

Let me try 😐😐😐

Dammit, Finland number 1…again.

What comes to your mind when you think of Finland?

Finland is always number 1 in statistical charts, (happiness, least corruption…you name it) beating the Netherlands again and again.

It is kind a running joke here in the Netherlands

"Both the UK and the US slipped down the list to 23rd and 24th respectively - the lowest-ever position for the latter."

One thing is I initially thought they misspelled ladder before I got the meaning. The other though is this has to be mostly 2024 numbers if we are still that high. Lastly israel is number 8 and mexico number 10. wow.

Happiness is notoriously contingent on culture and historical context.

IIRC the famous example in recent history is that Iraq has been ranking higher than France.

Finland just keeps winning, lately and historically. Love my eastern neighbours and hope we can follow their lead a bit over here to be honest. But hey, we're not bottom of the Nordics? So there's that?
