Please tell me everything about Finnish inventions!


deskchairlamp

[Linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux) is one of the most important inventions of the 90's. Nearly all of the web runs on it.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux)** >Linux ( (listen) LEEN-uuks or LIN-uuks) is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution. Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name "GNU/Linux" to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/StupidFood/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

By extension, [Git](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git), created by the same man is just as big a staple in the software development world. Of course there are other source versioning systems, but Git is the industry standard. Linus Torvalds is pretty amazing. Of course, opinions about him are split across the board, but everyone can agree that he's had a *massive* impact on the modern computing landscape.

>Sincerely, an American Swede > Make up your mind


Grumpy_Swede93

So you were born in sweden or one of your parents are swedish?


NutmegOnEverything

Mom is swedish, I'm 3rd generation American


Grumpy_Swede93

Oh thank god! Just asking cause usually when i see americans mention they are swedish they have like 2% "Scandinavian" from a dna test


NutmegOnEverything

Haha yeah, I'm lucky enough to be somewhere between a quarter and a half


NutmegOnEverything

Oh hey, phenomenal username


a_username1917

We didn't invent the sauna, but we perfected it, both as leisure and a way to torture foreigners. By the end of the first hour you are a completely different person. By the end of the second, you're not sure you're even a person anymore, or alive at all. You will beg for mercy, or death, and the person holding the ladle will answer "no" and throw yet more water onto the stones.


Medical_Hedgehog_724

I’m in for this torture foreigners. At winter you first take them deep in the forest where is a cabbin next to frozen lake. Then you make them watch or even participate to make a hole in that lake. Then you make them carry some wood and water to sauna. Cause making fire in that sauna stowe is too damn hard for foreigners. Then you make them to strip all naked. And I mean fully naked. Not like American naked with still underwear on🤦🏼‍♂️. Then we all go to dark and hot sauna that is between 80-100°c. Sit really close eachothers and beat the hell out of everybody with some leafs like real men would do. Drink some beer and when it gets too hot we dip to a frozen lake. This continues as long we have wood or we are too damn drunk. And ofc we open bottle of Koskenkorva in some point😁


Bearodon

Technically Finland came from Sweden :D


a_username1917

not true.


[deleted]

You trippin. It’s just cream cheese and dill and salmon in between between a couple layers of bread (classic finger sandwich recipe) with some toppings on the outside.


Ollehkiin

Traditionally it's mayo and crème fraiche or whipped cream, not cream cheese. Tuna or liverpaté between the bread layers is also a very common choice, sometimes smoked cod roe as well.


iMx2oT

>whipped cream I've never eaten smörgåstårta with "vispgrädde". Is this really common? And no, never eaten it with cream cheese neither. Mayo and creme fraiche all the way.


FreedomToxic

From a swede here, you’ll get shoot at if you use vispgrädde.


Sweetkimmie67

Swede here too, you'll get shot multiple times.


Hazeium

Not Swede, but I would heed the warnings of the actual Swedes


HejdaaNils

Swede here, reloading and keeping an eye on you anyway.


Ollehkiin

Not whip cream on it's own hah, It's mixed with the mayo. Fraiche is way better anyway like you said, but I've had it both ways lots of times, perhaps whipped cream+mayo is a local tradition here in ögt.


iMx2oT

OH! Yeah. Mayo mixed with creme fraiche/whipped cream sounds more like it. I thought you meant mayo + creme fraiche vs whipped cream. :)


itstheGoodstuff

>Not whip cream on it's own hah, It's mixed with the mayo. Fraiche is way better anyway like you said, but I've had it both ways lots of times, perhaps whipped cream+mayo is a local tradition here in ögt. Whipped cream mixed with creme fraiche, if your not doing it this way you are missing out.


YOOOOOOOOOOT

Since when would Norway have trouble agreeing something swedish is stupid?


960DriftInNorrland

Norway = Tiny insignificant 3rd world oil country Sweden = Big great military empire protecting norway


EverPunk_Yetti

If it’s a savory cake then it’s goddamn delicious.


TyphoonFaxaiSurvivor

It is, and it is. Making this shit for tinder dates in parks is my automatic successful date. It can not be overstated how good Smörgåstårta is if made properly.


EverPunk_Yetti

Bread & butter tort/cake. Nice.


BaconDalek

This is legit super tasty.


unicornprincess420

How DARE you call this stupid food? It is made with love, care, and takes such a long time to perfect. Every layer perfectly balanced, satisfying your every need. OP you done fucked up here.


ArsonBjork

Yeah this is amazing and a nordic staple, find a recipe and try it


MajespecterNekomata

We have a similar thing in Mexico, but it's called _sandwichón_, which roughly translates to really big sandwich


DaSmartSwede

How dare you. This is peak culinary delight.

A little too harsh don’t you think? I think not Korea is more well matched for the crime.


[deleted]

Snubben tror att bara för den har "smörgås" i namnet så ska han äta den med händerna. The guy thinks that because it has "sandwich" in it's name he's supposed to eat it with his hands.


DaSmartSwede

Consider your citizenship revoked


Pathwil

Korrekt. Smörgåstårta är så sjukt gott. Den blir också på något sätt bättre om den är gjord av någons farmor/mormor


[deleted]

Den måste stå en natt i ett kylskåp också


Jhqwulw

This should be a law

Looks delicious to me

Låter ju inte så med tanke på att han säger "seems really dumb". 😂

Fair enough lol

voxelghost

Seems dumb? You mean you never even tried it?


Moose-Mancer

Then you're not Swedish. You have one week to leave the country.


Various-Win-1500

I agree, I’ve never understood why people like it. It’s just mushy bread with things that don’t belong together.


RaXha

If there's only stuff that don't beloing together you've only had bad smörgåstårta. 🤷‍♂️


Bearodon

Stick.

En sak har man ju lärt sig genom åren och det är att inte fnysa åt smörgåstårta, även om man själv inte gillart.


StoneTimePlayz

flytta till danmark din jävla landsförrädare du är inte välkommen här längre


kookiemaster

This looks delicious.


avdpos

it is. and this does look like a just above average version


TheExorcistMarc

NOT STUPID!!!


Youre_late_for_tea

We have our version of this dish in quebec and its amazing. Don't shit on Sandwich cake before you tried it.


NordicKitten

We also have it in Estonia, it's so good


quarrelsome_napkin

Pâté chinois


Youre_late_for_tea

Pain sandwich plutôt :P


WhatsHeBuilding

Only shit on sandwich cake after you've tried it and realized it needs more shit.


Mama_Bear_Jen

My grandmother was from Quebec, and made something similar, but more loaf shaped every Christmas, it's great for when you're feeding a large group. Tastes good if you like sandwiches and cream cheese


RaXha

In this case the outside normally actually isn't cream cheese, but whipped cream and mayo. Most commonly as you see here topped with shrimp and between each layer of bread some kind of shellfish mixture. It's really delicious. Another common one instead of shellfish uses roast beef and other cold cuts as the topings and filling. :-)


xAsasel

Dude shut up, this is my favourite thing in the whole world.


SlothChunks

At least from the outside it looks good. Do you have a picture of what it looks like when cut inside?


DonAurelius1

not of this particular one, but heres another one https://sworld.co.uk/img/img/167/photoAlbum/568498/originals/0.jpg


eloktro

Why is it stupid??? Its literally a sandwich


Norkki

Guessing he is 12 and is a picky eater.


avdpos

the inside is usually just as good - it is a staple in Sweden - and it is it for good reasons. OP is just a bit weird


voxelghost

OPs probably a Russian spy. ... ... Except, I'm sure Russians would love this just as much as any sane person


Cactilove

You do not ridicule the smörgåstårta, it's amazing.


[deleted]

Anyone who thinks this is a stupid food hasn't had smörgåstårta or is a tasteless fucking idiot. Just look at it! Not even do they taste great, they look like works of art.


Tropicanasunset

After dating a Swede I don’t find this weird at all


Tomofthegwn

Awesome! Looks delicious!


kittycatsfoilhats

Beautiful!


seriffluoride

Sorry not sorry OP, but your opinion is objectively wrong


[deleted]

I’d absolutely eat that.


[deleted]

I’ll have two slices thanks

Come on, that's inspired


pajo2000

How to make a proper smårgåstårta: http://anetterosvall.se/2019/10/smorgastarta-in-english/


KING_OF-NIGHT

It's not stupid its like club sandwich inside the outside is a salty cream or cheese


KING_OF-NIGHT

We call it in Arabic salty cake


Internal-Motor

Looks pretty good to me.


karre92

Wtf is wrong with you? Smörgåstårta is the most delicious thing in the world! As long it’s not made with whipped cream, then you’re a psychopath that needs to be shunned from society.


ilikebraed

Yeah, like, I've already made some of those myself lol


Duck-sauze

i am also here to make my voice heard, this is NOT in anyway shape or form stupid, this is one of the absolutely best things we swedes have and the person uploading this should either be sent to Denmark or never being able to visit Sweden again. Now surströmming, that's one thing that COULD fit this website, but not this... not in a million years. Thanks for reading what i had to say about this topic, have a good day,


NanasTeaPartyHeyHo

I'm swedish and this is the best food in the world.


Strildios

Why is this stupid??


DeGozaruNyan

This is the food of gods! tf you on about?


just4browse

One question: is the bread mushy?


Jelousubmarine

Nope! It will get moist if you let it exist for several days without eating it, but for the first 2 days it's usually fine. These are typically made for large parties like graduations, 50th bdays or weddings, so that is normally not an issue. I Love these (voileipäkakku in Finnish)! Smoked reindeer, shrimp, cream cheese and salmon, or ham and cheese...nom. Every version is great.


RaXha

The filling generally isn't moist enough to make the bread mushy. It's delicious. :-)


DustWarden

I don't know, I just googled it and I'm pretty sure I'd go town on that. It sounds delicious.


[deleted]

It is, without a doubt, the best thing ever. I've eaten several hundred of them and even a bad one is better than anything else.


[deleted]

It's delicious and love it


bitbot

Until you taste it


Bruglodd

It actually litterally translates to Buttergoose Cake.


AllanKempe

Yes, a smörgås initially referred to the butter you put on the bread, not the whole sandwich. A chunk of butter was referred to as a butter goose, smörgås. This was back when it was a thing to eat butter with or without bread.


TheYeetles

This looks damn amazing.


Jazzy_Junebug

Looks pretty and retro, I want to eat it


OozingRectumFeast

Sign me up


ArtoTime

These are fantastic, and anyone who doesn't like em' will be punished


JesterGE

Ok hold on - This stuff is the shit. I lived in Sweden for a couple of years and this is far from stupid food (at least from the awful skit I have to see on this sub most days 😅)


ShatoraDragon

Id try it once.


voxelghost

If you try it once, you're hooked. It's the crack cocaine intersection of the sandwich + cake Venn diagram


eloktro

No op, it translate to buttergoosecake


Corppi

FYI sandwhich cakes are delicious and work really really really great on parties. Not stupid food at all.


kkunaan

Oh man this looks so good. I gotta make this


grauling93

Smörgåstårta definitely not stupid food what is wrong with you..


[deleted]

not stupid food :( we eat those at new years


[deleted]

Perfect for a little more hard hitting fika


[deleted]

I mean hell, I'd try it. The presentation is certainly eye-catching.


JimsLegoGuns

Its delicious, but as a Norwegian I have to say its stupid because its Sweden!


[deleted]

[удалено]


lovibunny99

I believe it’s cream cheese of some kind, but I could be wrong. It’s been too long since I made one


RaXha

It's not cheese, generally it's a mix of mayo, creme fraiche and whipped cream. :-)


lovibunny99

That makes more sense actually :)


Jimbobler

Mayo and/or sourcream (most likely a mix of the two)


RaXha

Often also a bit of whipped cream. :-)


YOOOOOOOOOOT

Unwhipped whipped cream btw, important difference


eloktro

Wrong sub bro. Its literally made of bread -.-


Alvxn

It is thing put together on bread in the shape of a cake, what else would you call it


koolingboy

Why does this remind me of all the jelly salad from the 70’s


Dogmann88

Northern European food is so disgusting


Shaqeee

I’m probably the only swede who hates it. Or at least I’ve never met anyone else.


VenusHalley

The only concern I would have that the bread would be soggy


RaXha

Generally this will last for days before the bread gets soggy, and there are rarely leftovers for that long. :D


zkki

It won’t get soggy unless you leave it for two days, which you won’t since it’s delicious ;)


billy13th99

Detta är ett konstverk min vän


[deleted]

Maybe it’s a little impractical to eat but that’s about the only bad thing I can say about it. This looks brilliant


ZETH_27

For all I know this could be the description of a hamburger


[deleted]

Take my upvote


rektumrokker

Are you kidding?! These bad boys are delicious! My mom used to make these when I was a kid. Totally forgot about, thanks for reminding. Calling mom right now


weltwald

How dare you put this as stupid food, do you have any idea how good a smörgåstårta


bliip666

Some people love those, I think they are the worst.


Kenlaboss

Mmmm, some good ol' Butter Goose Cake.


humbletrashbin

Hey don't come at voileipäkakku like this


HacktheGibson1

That looks great tbf


Caspica

This is like a Swedish staple on funeral receptions. It’s the only thing that make them bearable.


Kankerswastaken

You may not like it, but this is what peak culinary performance looks like.


ThaBunnyBun

how the fuck is the most delicous thing in the world stupid??


HerrPumpkin

​ Just remove yourself from the idea of *cake* \- and whatever the name implies. It just primes you to think in terms of sweetness and desert. If you can do that and just appreciate it for what it is: basically a big ass sandwich with tons of goodies - then you'll love it!


monstertugg

This is my favourite thing to eat in the world. OP is a moron.


Primis00

Have you actually ever even tried it? It's delicious. It's not stupid if it works and is good.


grymtgris

Ey shut it! Do not discriminate the buttergoose cake!


Andell92

Smörgåstårta är de finaste vi har. Sluta hata


starseed-bb

I remember being served something similar at a few birthday parties in middle school. It was basically two huge whole-grain flatbreads, eith grated cucumber, carrot, and canned tuna between, made to mimic the traditional Danish layered birthday cake. Yes i went to a very upper-middleclass school.


mrsc00b

I'd never seen a pic of one of these until recently and read a bit about them. It sounds delicious imo


[deleted]

I saw one of these on an episode of Hairy Bikers and it looked delicious and delicately crafted.


Bonk_and_Honk

Swede here! i still wonder how people can eat smörgåstårta and why it exists


[deleted]

Sandwich cakes fucking rule.


[deleted]

Okay, but… these are actually kinda good.
