Finland

Hi! Can anyone suggest cool places to go and fun things to do in Finland for a tourist that doesn't like museums, historical buildings, etc, but is more interested in shopping, food, bars and fun physical activities?

I'm visiting Finland in March for a week and I am trying to make plans how to spend time there and I decided that it could be better to ask people that probably know better, because I don't know anything about Finland and internet just suggests things that seem boring to me. 😅

How do you insulate your tech in winter?

Howdy people! Recently I moved to colder climate and struggled to keep my wireless overhead headphones (WH1000XM3) from malfunctioning in the cold. Have you got any tips?

Kuivaa läppää (lemmy.world)

Heya. Swede with Finnish parents here. I understand "general" Finnish or at least follow the gist and I can sorta speak but my writing is terrible, hence this question in English.

I heard on the Swedish news a Sverigefinne use the term "kuivaa läppää" that I've never heard before.

Dry... flap?

I got it that it means approximately "unfunny" or "joke in bad taste", but my wonders - what kind of flap? And why is it dry?

I'm trying to keep my mental image clean but I'm struggling here.
