Probably started as a troll and picked up by dumbasses. Like the Flat Earth Society.

I wonder if the Finland conspiracy has any genuine believers yet...

I thought it was Belgium?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

This kinda makes me feel old.

The version I heard I thought it was New Zealand... 😝

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

New Zealand doesn't exist. Show me New Zealand on a map

(this joke works because New Zealand is left off of a stupid number of maps)

Wait, it’s not Iceland?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I've also heard it's Australia

But then where do the waffles come from? And the chocolates? And diamonds?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

All those things come from Bielefeld !

You have been lied to your whole life !

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ok, you convinced me. Where do I sign up?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Uhhh...

That's a great great question..

"Where is Bielefeld ?"

We know that it exists. But where ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Bielefeld? The football club from Armenia? 😉

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Where does black metal come from?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Finland?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Hate to be this guy, but it's Norway.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Mostly Norway, Sweden, and (to a lesser extent) Denmark.

Also from a profound sense of alienation combined with a tendency towards macabre flamboyancy and just subjective stylistic preferences of expression, I guess 🤷

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Ahchchcually USA has by far the most metal bands, but yeah Finland leads the per capita list by far.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That sounds like something a Finn would say.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

So Finns do exist, other than Belgian people

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Careful, that word's really offensive in most parts of the galaxy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Except in serious screenplays, of course.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I once won the Rory Award for The Most Gratuitous Use of that word in a Serious Screenplay, you know.. Then someone stole it, of course..

[–] Kichae 2 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure it was Idaho

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What conspiracy?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

That what does not exist? I have no idea what you're talking about.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

what a lame copy of the Bielefeld-Conspiracy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I went there for a visit, and they just toured me the east side of Tallinn as if I was an idiot
