Op would love Finland. Only ever talked to one stranger (who is now my wife) and the only thing we shake is the umbrella. And booze, well you will need it too.

introverted and alcoholic? Please tell me more about this wonderful place called Finland

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 12 points 2 days ago

Their mountains so lofty

Their treetops so tall

[-] QuincyPeck@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Eating breakfast or dinner

Or snack lunch in the hall.

[-] Schneemann@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 days ago

Nah they don't have any mountains in Finland. The trees are great though.

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago

Only ever talked to one stranger

Scandalous!

[-] nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 2 days ago

no. Scandinavian

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

What is the umbrella reference about?

[-] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 51 points 2 days ago

Umbrella gets wet. Ya shake it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[-] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 2 points 2 days ago

Oh my god, I feel so dumb. I really thought you had just made a typo and said shake instead of share.

[-] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Sharing doesn't sound possible, or at least would require an unwieldy parasol or something.

[-] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 1 points 1 day ago

I think all of my umbrellas can fit two if a couple, and three if everyone is okay with rubbing torsos.

[-] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Mine cant. Even with this latest safety distance-nonsense of just 2 meters.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Is that a Finnish thing or just the first thing you thought to shake?

[-] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 days ago

There is no innuendo if you are looking for an innuendo. He's literally talking about shaking the rain off an umbrella. He's happily married and neither his wife nor he like to dance so they don't shake anything but their umbrella. Get it?

[-] gratux 14 points 2 days ago

Finnish people do not shake hands.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago

What else do you shake on a fairly common basis, I suppose you also shake the bottle to get every last drop out. So it's bottle or umbrella.

When you go inside you shake the water out of the umbrella so it doesn't drip inside your house. Yeah, that's it, no reference or anything.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah but like, is that somehow Finnish?

[-] ashenone@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

Yea finnished being in the rain

[-] topherclay@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I think you're confused why he brought up shaking anything at all, what you're missing is that he brought up shaking an umbrella as a reply to the OP image that talks about shaking booty aka dancing.

The Finnish thing is that they don't shake booty. The umbrella being the only thing they shake was just a way to highlight that they aren't dancing like Colombians.

[-] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

It's worldwide. Everyone around the world who has used an umbrella has shaken rain off an umbrella. Are you an alien from another solar system?

[-] PuddleOfKittens@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Maybe from Saudi Arabia? No umbrella-shaking in Saudi Arabia.

[-] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

go to google.

type in "rainy day in Saudi Arabia"

click on images

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

It's referencing back to the original post about girls shaking their asses
