Well it's quite shitty. Most of the world is missing...
I love nonsense. It's easily my sixth or seventh favorite sense. I may even like it more than smell.
Why is Canada so sad? :(
i dont understand why canada is ranked so low? I'm happy, everyone I know is happy, the only unhappy people are Leaf fans in Toronto.
Where's Poland?
Poland went swimming
POLANDBALL IS NEVER HAPPY!
If there was top of top10 unhappiest countries
Latvia would be in the top 3 -_-''
Wait, why are the places in red the happier places? On the legend red signifies 0, thus meaning 0 happiness, right?
this is clearly inaccurate
this isnt a map of the happiest people, it's a map of people most likely to use smiley emoticons and bullshit like that in tweets....
sorry but Germany is NOT the happiest place in the world. people in Guinea or Cote d'Ivoire are WAY more happy than Germans. this chart is bs!
Since when have French people become happy? And Americans for that matter? we all know they prefer zoloft and beta-receptor blockers than the sun...
Well Denmark has been awarded as the happiest place on earth...
I don't think this is accurate
