Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Perkele is a name of Ukko... Tired of hearing this one 😴 It's simply loaned from Perkunas as a swear word in the first place.
Nobody knows what you're talking about.
I’m guessing anyone who speaks Finnish would know what they mean. (I googled all the non-English words and very vaguely get it. But I’m sure there’s cultural or language stuff that’s just going wooosh.)
5.4 million people speak Finnish. 9.3 million people live in New Jersey. You could reference a specific gas station at a rest stop on the Garden State parkway, and more people would understand the reference than people who knew what they meant.
