Someone on AskReddit fired up a thread about various things that are common in one country, but generally unheard of in the rest of the world. The thread ends up doing a great job at highlighting how dang different the world can be outside of our respective cultural bubbles. Sometimes for better, sometimes for far worse.

Finland has been named the best country in the world for wildlife travel by the True Luxury Travel's Global Wildlife Index 2019. The factors that made it win against it's 106 competitors included its "high levels of environmental sustainability, its unique and varied diversity of species, beautiful natural landscapes, and conservation efforts". Honestly, this is no surprise as Finlandis home to a number of animals that I, the author, have never seen in my life (and would love to see). Besides, 69% of the country is forest and the rest is filled with crystal clear lakes and quaint towns. Sounds pretty ideal to me.
To show you just how diverse Finland's wildlife is, we've included 15 of the coolest animals that call Finland home. If you visit Finland, you're bound to see a few of these creatures. I'd be pretty happy if I saw one, to be honest!

The Minnesota State Fair just doesn't get fine art.
This portrait of Bill Cosby caused quite a stir at the fair before it was taken down after being up for only a day.
The portrait, made form "rapeseed" or canola seed, was created by Nick Rondo, a 37-year-old software engineer. He wasn't surprised people complained.
"The point was just to see, would there be outrage? Would there be people talking about it? Would it even get through?" he told Pioneer Press.
Although the portrait was originally allowed into the fair, an official made Rondo cover up the word "rapeseed" on his work, which basically defeats any type of message the artist was trying to make.
Despite the removal of the portrait, Rondo said this was for the best.
"I think it's actually maybe the best possible scenario," he said. "Up for a day and then taken down."
