      I take it Donegal is known for swamp dwellers and heavy drinkers?

      Thanks to the ice age that obliterated all our mountains (fucking Norwegians got the mountains and the oil), Finland’s geology is very… hole-y – absolutely ridiculous amounts of lakes, ponds etc., and of course bogs, swamps, fens and whatnot (especially up north in Lapland). We’re also a nation of functional alcoholics, so much so that we’re now weirdly famous for the concept of “pantsdrunk” or kalsarikännit, ie. getting drunk by yourself in your underwear. And it’s not like we came up with that during COVID, mind you – that’s just Tuesday.

          This in fact did nothing to alleviate my confusion and raised more questions than it answered, and I’m totally fine with that; confusion is pretty much my default setting nowadays.
