I woke up with a cold the next day
To me, one of the core finland experiences is walking a long ass distance in the dead of night in freezing temperatures, on a quest to find the nearest bus stop that actually runs this late.
Just did that (still like 40 minutes away from home, but in the relatively warm bus now (bus also an integral part of the experience)) and I haven't felt more finnish in a while.
Ok but the Mandela effect is like so fake. There is one actual example of this with Nelson Mandela himself and the rest are americans remembering brand names wrong.
Like once I was discussing religion with a friend (like in a nice and interesting way, not accusatory), and they asked me wether there would be people in my utopia that believed in religions. They said theirs probably would, similar to how they'd allow differing political beliefs too. My answer was that everyone would most likely be atheists by default, as religion wouldn't really be a variable I'd think about when making a utopia.
Political views, however, are different in my opinion. Personally I consider differing political views (and healthy interaction between them) a necessity for society to improve, making them necessary for reaching said utopia. I personally dont believe religions to also be essential for that.
This being the internet, I probably should clarify that I dont mind people believing in stuff either, and religion wouldnt necessarily make my utopia worse either.
There's something about atheism that I've repeatedly tried and failed to put into words on several posts on this blog but I think I finally got it.
Atheists are the only religious minority who, even (or sometimes even *especially*) in ostensibly progressive spaces are not allowed to ever act like they're sure of their beliefs.
Once I had a dream where I flew to an unspecified part of the USA for a day trip, and one of the methods of identifying it as America was that the highway was racially segregated
When asked, im an atheist, but it feels so weird and vain to explain my worldview through wether I believe in deities or not when the possible existense of deities does not even cross my mind when I consider my belief system.

I thought about something nice to post earlier but i forgog
Now that I think about it, I'm half convinced it was made up by american corporations as a marketing tactic.
"I bet you remembered this brand name wrong" is a pretty good way to get people to recognize your brand, especially when you explain it with a trendy new phenomenon.
Like I still remember some of the brands even though I have never actually seen them anywhere.

And to this day I still read it as I shit the gay, and it takes conscious effort to think of it as anything else
Before I knew what istg actually meant, I tried to decipher it by using the first words that I came up with that fit the thing.
What I came up with:
