You're here. Near Inari, Northern Finland / Lapland. HTH, HAND.

[–]Some_Random_Guy_1138 443 points444 points ago

I love how someone can post a picture from anywhere in the world and there will always be a redditor who knows where it's at.

[–]ossij 277 points278 points ago

I didn't actually know. I just checked Google Maps for crossroads in approximate distances from the places shown in the picture. The first guess was 10 kilometers off, the second crossroads was a direct hit. (There isn't many big roads / crossroads in Lapland.)

Helped being a Finn, though, since knew where to look at.

[–]domy94 62 points63 points ago

I'm not from Finland, but, curious as I am, I took the three Cities/Towns which were in the same direction and followed that road, then measured 88km from Cevetjävri and landed at the crossroad.

[–]Tactful 138 points139 points ago

I went to the comments, and clicked the link in the top comment, and then landed at the crossroad. It really helped being a lazy cunt though, since I knew where to look at.

[–]PumpValve 7 points8 points ago

You don't have to be lazy but it helps.

There are many riddles in life that can be solved by putting it off for 10 minutes or so until someone else solves it for you.

Would you want to be the first guy to discover that you can eat a cow? Who looks at one of those snot-nosed beasts and thinks, yum?

[–]Tactful 7 points8 points ago

No "man" was the first man to discover you can eat a cow; animals were eating each other long before humans evolved and diverged; it's a basic instinct.

It's that same thing of: "Oh, who looked at a cow and thought: hey, I wonder if I can drink the liquid from its udders,"

Answer: Nobody did; mammals have been consuming breast milk for aeons.

[–]Thjoth 2 points3 points ago

The real question is who decided to try an egg. It's literally an object that just came out of a bird's ass.

[–]Tactful 1 point2 points ago

Once again, raptors were stealing and eating eggs long before human intervention.

[–]Thjoth 1 point2 points ago

I think the more relevant thing to look for there is whether there's a practice among primates of stealing and consuming eggs, since we belong to that group. If we're the only primate that loves the hell out of some eggs, then that would be fairly odd.

    Milk is the one that gets me. Who looked at a cow and said, I'm gonna squeeze those and drink what comes out!?

    [–]iwsfutcmd 8 points9 points ago

    I'm not Finnish at all, but I could tell he was in northern Finland. The top text looked pretty clearly like Finnish, and the only place where there'd be bilingual signage would be in Sapmi (except, perhaps, the Swedish-speaking enclaves, but the second language clearly wasn't Swedish).

    Linguistic Detective, ho!

    [–]kinkkulainen 2 points3 points ago

    And in Eastern Finland it isn't so rare to see signs with Russian text. And in places like Nauvo the text is Squeedish first then Finnish.

        The collective power the internet gives us to solve problems and come up with new ides in a huge "think tank" is completely unprecedented. The only problem is most people would rather look at pictures of cute animals lol.

        [–]TheDesktopNinja 27 points28 points ago

        So we should change pictures of cute animals into the method of reward for getting actual think tank work done?

        [–]valoopy 14 points15 points ago

        This makes more sense than it should.

        [–]TheDesktopNinja 8 points9 points ago

        The more work you get done, the cuter the animals you can see! It can't fail. Just changes every "job" into a mini-game, basically. At the end of a "game", you get your reward for completing it. The more difficult the "game", the better the reward.

        This is the future of the workplace. Mini-games instead of jobs or assignments or TPS reports, and you get rewarded with money based on performance. IT CAN'T FAIL.

        [–]gchrisdean 5 points6 points ago

        Or maybe the method of reward should be some kind point system based on a hierarchy of upstanding votes among the internet think tank community. We could call them... up votes. Yes, up votes. These "UP" votes could then be a self-gratifying reward system based on your level of participation. This positive reinforcement could be given a name like, oh I don't know.. "karma" or something silly like that. Just to keep it moving along in the right direction.

        This could be something huge....

        [–]-DickFart 19 points20 points ago

        [–]sailingthefantasea 2 points3 points ago

        There's a website like that where you post up pictures of famous locations or just from photographs and people can tell you where it is. Usually for when you're unsure where the location is yourself.

        There was also a tumblr craze recently where people used mapcrunch to land them in a random place and then had to direct themselves to the nearest airport.

          I don't concur with this. I live in Southern Finland in a small town of 10,000 that nobody gives a shit about because there really isn't anything worth seeing over here. Except for the fact that you're forced to pass through our town if you take the train from Turku to Helsinki but that's a minor detail since people only hear the name chanted but don't really give a shit about the town further than that. We're also mainly a Swedish speaking town so Finns look down on us even further than they normally would.

          [–]cowler 1 point2 points ago

          I kind of knew it was Finland cause of the writing and that one of the sign said Kirkenes which is the most nothern part of Norway, and i am from Norway :)

            I grew up on the Norwegian side of the border, a few hours away from Kirkenes (Church Headland). Johka and joki are Sami and Finnish, and mean river. My father's home town was called Børselv in Norwegian, Pyssyjoki in Finnish and Bissojohka in Sami, and all translate to Rifle River. I think jävri means mountain. Apparently, niemi and njárga means peninsula. I've seen signs like these a lot where I grew up.

            [–]ossij 13 points14 points ago

            Järvi means lake, otherwise spot on :)

            Well, this is actually very interesting. What you've got here is a giant street sign from an old town in west Philadelphia. I was born and raised there so I would know.

            Alright thanks for comin in.

            I was wondering why the hell they would put a sign for Kirkkonummi in Lapland... and why those Swedish letters look weird... until I re-read that it is actually "Kirkkoniemi"... and those strange letters are Sami.

            [–]Ellipsis 1 point2 points ago

            There should be a subreddit for this... people post pictures of places viewable with streetview (or anywhere there are lots of photos) and maybe add clues over time. Hmmm...

                          Furthermore, it appears the signs are in fact printed in two different languages simultaneously, adding to his confusion. Maybe Finnish and Swedish? Perhaps he speaks neither.

                          I'm fairly sure the bottom ones are in Sami, because those places are in Lapland and they don't look at all like Swedish or Russian.

                          There are four languages in this image.

                          Finnish:

                          • Kirkkoniemi
                          • Näätämö
                          • Sevettijärvi
                          • Ivalo (barely visible on the sign in the back)
                          • Utsjoki
                          • Karigasniemi

                          Inari Sámi:

                          • Čevetjävri
                          • Avveel

                          Northern Sámi:

                          • Njávđám
                          • Ohcejohka
                          • Gáregasnjárga

                          Norwegian:

                          • Kirkenes

                          [–]Squidmonkej 1 point2 points ago

                          But the "Kirkenes"-sign is in Finnish and Norwegian. "Kirkenes" is called Kirkkoniemi in Finnish and Girkonjárga in Sami.

                          But as you said, the rest of the signs are written in Finnish and Northern Sami, the Sami being the bottom text.

                            Indeed! In conclusion, one can assume that the humour of this post comes from the fact that rather than recognizing the signs as bearing a distinct, unique tongue, he prefers to think of it as gibberish! How spiffing

                            Its Finnish and Sami. Sami is completely different from Swedish and very different when compared to Finnish. A Finn will barely understand any Sami. Finland is a bilingual country with 3 official languages, so many road signs are in 2 languages. In Lapland most signs are in Finnish/Sami, Finnish/Norwegian, or Finnish/Swedish (depending where you are, most common is Finnish/Sami though), in the south mostly in Finnish/Swedish, and in the east in Finnish/Russian.

                              There is also the fact that according to the signs, the closest notable place is 63 km away.

                              I lived 24 years near that place. At summertime when the local shithole of a bar closed at midnight, we used to take a taxi and drive 40 kilometres to the next wich was open till 4am. And yeah, there's nothing in between villages, just reindeers, bears and wilderness.

                              Also improved by the fact that the signs look like motorway signs and, as such, are huge.

                              Edit: I realise they're not motorway signs since it's a t-junction, but my point still stands.

                                You're in Inari, Finland. No worries, just head south towards Ivalo (Aveel) and the road you're on will take you straight to Helsinki (in about 12 hours). But stay on the road, a wrong turn'll send you to Russia, and you thought Finnish signs were hard to read...

                                          I feel pretty proud of myself for guessing that this was in Finland, close to Sámi country, considering that I've never been to Finland, and do not speak Finnish or Sámi.

                                          That said, I spend an excessive amount of time on wikipedia.

                                            I can't for the life of me find a clip of this. But he has this routine about being lost. and there is nothing worse than asking another human being "pardon me, WHERE AM I??"

                                            I found it now HERE . Just play the preview. It's from the album Playin' with your head.

                                            Sometimes it isn't a thing that's lost...it's you. "I'm lost. Where am I?" Where am I...what a frightening question to have to ask another human being seriously. "Pardon me, hahahahahah.... WHERE AM I?" And to be hoping for a constructive answer. Not something like "You're in the land of broken dreams and shattered hopes! And you're next on line for the human sacrifice!" "Thank you very much. I'd rather be lost."
