S1 E5: Finland Doesn't Exist

Listen Later

In this exhilarating episode of Stupiracy, hosts Rizz and Tim McKernan dive deep into a fringe conspiracy theory that claims—hold onto your hats—Finland doesn't exist! Yes, you heard that right. The nation of saunas, Santa, and Sibelius is supposedly a figment of the global imagination. Strap in as they dissect this wild theory and explore how a whole country could be an elaborate geopolitical sham.

Topics Discussed:

  • Introduction to the Finland Doesn’t Exist conspiracy theory
  • Overview of Finland’s alleged geographic and demographic details
  • Famous Finnish exports and cultural notes (Nokia, metal bands, supposedly Helsinki)
  • Historical context and the supposed origin of the conspiracy during the Cold War
  • Details of the supposed conspiracy involving Japan, Russia, fishing rights, and Nokia phones
  • Discussion on satellite images, GPS data, and the general disbelief surrounding the existence of Finland

    • Entities Mentioned:

    • Finland (or the lack thereof)
    • Japan and Russia (key players in the conspiracy)
    • Nokia (the tech giant supposedly from the non-existent Finland)
    • Famous Finnish bands like Nightwish and Hanoi Rocks
    • Reddit (where the conspiracy theory gained traction)
