Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Saw this on Mastodon and had a laugh. Not sure if it's real, but it's funny.

Is November even the worst time to visit Finland? I’d assume January or February

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 66 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

January and February have snow and cold and sometimes sun.

November is just wet, dark and miserable.

Sounds similar to anything from Paris and above in Western Europe, just maybe a few less degrees.

The dark is the difference. Sunrise was at 8.00 today and sunset was at 15.45.

Basically if you work 8-16 you don’t see the sun until springtime… 🫠

It depends. You can get -20°C in November too. But yeah, mostly it's just miserable and far more so than in central Europe.
