The top comment is

More people able to bring back dinner. It makes sense.

And overall people seem to be agreeing with the comment. Dunno if this post was way before that happened or what but it seems to be the opposite what the title says

I think me and most Finns know it’s exaggerated. That’s usually brought up when talking about him. Most think he was impressive sniper but not that impressive.

I honestly see it a lot more from people outside of Finland. And we often cringe at that too.

“Oh you’re from Finland? Kimi Räikkönen Simo Häyhä Winter War you win against USSR right??”

“…”

“So, where are you from?”

“Uhhhh, gotta go”

Ah. Partly that might be because Winter War and Finland’s WW2 history is in that spot where people know a few (often exaggerated) tidbits that make them feel knowledgeable about it but not enough to really know stuff. In that context believing the 700 noscope 360’s seems more reasonable. Hearing someone outside of Finland talk about Finland’s history during WW2 is one of those cases where you’re sure to hear a mistake or two. Hell, you can see it here in the comments. But a lot of it is imo pretty understandable.

Was it some online squabble? I can’t imagine anyone reacting much to it irl since most agree the stuff is exaggerated. It’s a sore point or anything.

Having your own thief robot sounds badass

Like people enthusiastic about Finland or Finns? Because I wouldn’t be surprised by the reaction from first group, whereas I’d be really surprised by the latter. I have some of the flag waving, Finnish lion wearing nationalistic friends and when we talked about it some time ago everyone agreed that the number is exaggerated and the discussion was more about by how much. I think some thought it was still really high and some were just unsure. Of course this is just my experience. Abroad those people might be more boastful hah

Wat, there’s a theory that Kurt Cobain was trans?
