1. What

2. Wie bitte?

3. Nyt on kunnollista. Ennen ei ollut kunnollista.

4. Finnish military practicing operations in urban environment. This is from a nighttime exercise in shopping mall Redi (https://www.hs.fi/kaupunki/art-2000008584454.html)

5. Forget about alcohol tourism to Baltics, it’s time for Tomato and Cucumber salad tourism

6. We live in a world where I can’t even tell if this is real or a joke anymore

   Check the flair.

8. Guys we need to work together to get our veggies back!

   This is going to be bigger that Area 51 storming!

   Atleast we have our potatoes…

9. You’re all making jokes but 5.99€/kg and 9€49/kg are fucking expensive

10. For those who can afford it, [this video recommends installing M2 Browning heavy machine gun and Trophy active protection systems](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1btDc5xJe0) to your shopping trolley.

11. Frigging Närpiöäns and their high prices!

12. Doubt these are related pictures, or that the story is even real.

    Bottom pic soldier has different gear than expected, and the tip of the gun is yellow, which usually means no live rounds, or practice weapon or even airsoft weapon or something like it.

13. Nine and half euros for a kilogram of tomatoes? Price per calorie is pretty healthy.

15. Imagine going to shop and then some big dudes with Rifles just start checking you out.

16. This is very concerning. People, labelled price-right lunatics, have been warning about this for a long time, warning this was what the EU would boil down to, and we’ve been asleep.

    Wake up, vegans! The time to pact is now!

17. What the .. what ?!
