If you don't like America don't go there. Nobody's forcing you to move to that — to quote your own words — "hellhole", are they? In your culture do people typically crap on others and spread hate like you're doing here? Or is it just you? I mean, seriously, what are you, 12?
I'm tired of people online like you calling us lazy for building a humane society.
Nice strawman argument, and ageism.

I've heard about this before. And I'm puzzled. Are the Scandinavians so bored that they find the dashcam of a train amusing? When people are given good social security, food, healthcare, education and everything else, do they start to find life boring? Update: I don't mean any offense to Scandinavians or anybody else. Update 2: I'm not American, so please don't use the comment section to crap on Americans with the as…

> hellhole made of roads, cars and 70h workweeks
We're (so far) free of the 70h workweeks, at least, but if you're trying to portray Sweden as somehow a car-free haven of environmentally-friendly cycling and walking along the lines of Denmark or The Netherlands, then you're really taking the blind nationalism too far...
> Sweden does too SAAB, Ericsson, Spotify, Minecraft. A nation of 10mil and we built our own jets and subs. Suck it.
...and here was me thinking this was a mild discussion about 'slow TV'...

#64I used to constantly have a webcam on from moosegarden.com just to have banckground moose lounging around. Sadly cam is gone but I recommend visiting them if you get a chance.

#65For those who don’t know slow tv was popularized by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) with train journeys and ship routes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_television
I love watching trains

Did I call you lazy?
If you felt that I said your lot is lazy, that was a misunderstanding. A miscommunication.
For the record, I'll state it explicitly: I do not think people of Sweden (and the Scandinavians in general) are lazy.
There. I said it.
I have been as explicit as I possibly could, even though there's no reason for me to explain myself to a random rude person on the internet.
In my native language there's a saying that roughly translates to: don't climb up a ladder to get in the way of a bullet going across the sky.
I've committed this mistake.
Let's end this discussion.

> Peak American take. I'm not American. I'm not even Western. Infact I'm pretty far away from USA. > Don't you have an 80h+ workweek to go back to? 40. > And then maybe you can take 3 days off a year. 1 month. Which is probably less than what Europeans get, but I'm happy. I live in a place where everyday can be surprising. It's a bit chaotic (thankfully no wars or anything), but I've learnt to enjoy it :)
European Union legislation mandates that all 27 member states must by law grant all employees a minimum of 4 weeks of paid vacation. (but yes, in practice, many offer more. one of the benefits of the EU, and of welfare states, is that there is a floor through which nobody should fall. the EU Working Time Directive is another thing for which I am grateful.)

> Are the Scandinavians so bored that they find the dashcam of a train amusing? Or so at peace with life (knowing that we can get free healthcare and education if or when we need it) that we can find beauty in simple things, like moose migrating. ;-)
Fellow swede here. I enjoy picking mushrooms and bow making.
You must be bored. ;-)

Here in Czech Republic some of the most popular YouTube videos are tram dashcam compilations. Featuring exciting moments like "car is parked too far into the road and obstructs the tram, owner has to move it" and "tram rings bell at tourist unknowingly standing on the track".
Looking at the state of the world, I'm happy that that's often as much excitement as we need here.
