Random Thought
Run with me on this one.
Suppose that there were alien life forms out somewhere in the universe, and that they sent out exploratory missions to study life on other planets. Then they came to our planet, somehow managing to evade all our oh-so sophisticated tracking systems and such, and landed here, where the very first person they encountered was:

‘Päntsdrunk’ is a self-care phenomenon that encourages ‘a path to solitary relaxation, recovery and self-empowerment to help you face your future challenges,’ according to a book entitled Päntsdrunk: The Finnish Path to Relaxation.
Hanging around the house in yer undies, drinking booze… round here, that’s called “Every Day”, and we’ve been doing it for decades. Glad it’s finally been recognized for the important custom that it is.
