https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_chat
"The first online chat system was called Talkomatic, created by Doug Brown and David R. Woolley in 1973 on the PLATO System at the University of Illinois."
>linux the server OS
Fair enough.

>How has the world benefited from their existence?
That's a stretch. They were only peripherally relevant before Nokia moved to superior Estonia. Now they're really only useful as a buffer state considering the failing economy and degeneration of the population. Poland levels of butthurt don't bode well for the future as this soulless nation further embraces identity politics as a catalyst to understanding the world.

England's brave Richard Dawkins coined the meme term. You're just leeching off him and his work.

But why do any of these things matter?
We have been here, in our comfy cold corner of the world, not messing with other countries. One could argue that a lot of "relevant" nations have done more bad than good, not us.
>>61794453
One could also argue that the abstention from evil is not "good," but rather neutral. The hermit that sits on a mountain his entire life, contemplating the universe and helping nobody, is not very wise.

Actually originates in Germany and to Finns by the Swedes. The Finns though are the only ones still eating it.
>>61794311
Does anyone have the human version of spurdo swing the finnish flag?
I have looked for it but cannot find it.
>>61794563
In this world we live in, abstention of evil is indeed good. The hermit that lives his life not harming others, even if he wasn't doing anything good per se, is still good on average.

Also so much what we consider great contributions to humanity tend to create as many or more problems than they solve in the long run.
We look down on some primitive tribesman in a hut in the jungle but what the hell problems is he causing?
It's the people we look up to who are literally ruining the earth.
>>61791982
I rather like Finland, but you didn't even invent your flag. You stole it from us, after some cunts decided this colourblind shitshow would be better.
You have the flag of our first king, and it's not fair :(
>>61792796
The Spanish do the same shit with banana, don't they?
>>61791982
I do believe the invented memes

Indeed, we're like the modern version of the ooga boogas in huts and shit who dindu nuffin.
I just like how I can stay on my high horse while shitposting. Powerful innovations can always be used for evil, it's good that we don't have any.
>>61792858
Yea but we made it into a meme weapon.

Well, it's our colours, but the cross shape was changed like 800 years ago.
We are still using a version of it at the very centre of our shield in our current shitty flag, if you look closely enough. It's those 5 blue smaller shields.

What has humanity given Finland? We've always been left alone and subjected to discrimination.
there's like 5 million finns, which is less than in most states of usa, so not much is coming out of this country but we're trying

What does it mean by “competitiveness”?
You call Finns racists,xenophobic,etc. and this is everyday scary reality. Just yesterday we became a witnesses of a hate crime in the Malmi’s hospital(Helsinki).First the man asked aggressively an Asian girl “For how long you have been a Finn?”,but my partner stopped him,inviting this girl to sit closer to us.He went to register his visit,and promised to come back to us.Luckily for this girl,the doctor called her inside.When the man returned to a waiting room,she already left.Then he saw a Muslim woman,sitting alone,and pointing the door,told her to get out from here.My partner run to call security guards,the man hit a Muslim woman in her face.The guards came,but they didn’t want to call a police,and one of them told me,that he has not seen anything;I said,that I’m an US citizen,and me and my partner are both from the former Soviet Union,and also were attacked in the same area-the Malmi Prisma supermarket in February.We reported this to Malmi’s police Department,but nobody took any action against this Finn,who physically assaulted us and verbally abused,calling us “Russian lesbos” and promising “to pursue us and cut our necks,as his father did in Karelia”.My partner lives in Finland for more then 10 years,and with her Russian-Finnish roots she suffered enough discrimination-first under communist regime in USSR,and later for her Russian and lesbian background,in Finland.I moved to Finland in November,2009 from New York(I’ve been a resident of US since 1991),and it’s really stranger for me to see,what is going on here-the police doesn’t want to take any action to prevent and stop the hate crimes,they avoid to register them,because the statistics like this can damage Finland’s reputation.The guards don’t want to move their asses to catch a criminals-once one brave guy near Malmi’s Prisma doors urinated in front of us,calling us lesbians and demonstrating us,”what we lack”,in his opinion.

They hardly invented saunas, they just have a particular way of doing them that's a bit unique.
