Maps I find extraordinary. Sponsored by Saley
0:02
Bro map. The dude map. How Americans refer to their bros. Okay, let's end hands and hands
0:07
So bro is pretty dominant phrasing in Texas and the surrounding area. Cool
0:12
Then it moves to buddy over in the north. This is an amazing map. All right, what next we got? We got dude. Ooh, a lot of dude
0:19
Californians like dude. That makes sense. A lot of the west like dude
0:23
Central Texas are not into dude. We have fella popping up. Who said fella
0:27
A few areas of the south are into Fela. All right. And then we got Pal right up in the north
0:32
We got kind of maybe north, south Dakota area over here. Hey, Pal. Hey, dude
0:36
Cut that out. Don't leave that in. Liberation Day. Trump's tariffs on Europe
0:40
Yeah, this stuff's crazy. So most of the European Union has been hit with a 20% tariff
0:44
A few areas like Serbia, 37%. The UK has been niced, I guess, with 10%
0:50
It is insane the global chaos that Donald Trump is able to cause in such a short period of time
0:54
Oh, Tesla's declining Europe. Difference in registrations between January 2024 and January 2025
1:00
You can see across the board, numbers are down a lot. UK is down by 18%, but that isn't actually that high compared to a lot of other countries
1:08
We've got it down by 75% in Spain. And a lot of Scandinavian areas are around 40%, 60% for Germany, 63% for France
1:17
I mean, I love the Tesla brand. I bought a car in 2019, so I was pretty early on it
1:21
and it is just so sad to see the negative impact that Elon is having these days
1:26
He really is crazy and is causing so much harm worldwide. GPS data from thousands of Dutch cars during summer holidays
1:32
Oh, that's cool, man. I've never seen anything like this. So it shows people from the Netherlands going on holiday, exploring other areas of Europe
1:39
This mainland Europe area is just so accessible. It's such an amazing opportunity to travel to so many countries within a pretty short amount of time
1:46
Me and Becky are planning on going inter-railing at some point. It's going to be incredible. So it looks like a lot of holidays are just doing road trips where, you know, they head to Paris and then they head further down into Spain afterwards
1:56
Also got quite a few people crossing Switzerland and heading into Italy
2:00
I bet that is an amazing road trip. Forest loss in the United States over time
2:03
Well, this looks depressing. So way back in 1620, about half of the country was just forest, which is insane to think about
2:10
And then in we came and, oh, look, we're ruining it. 1850, already a lot of it has been chopped down
2:15
Very sad to think about. Think of all the wildlife. Think of all the Native Americans that were there
2:19
And by 1920, things are pretty scarce. I didn't know that Florida was so forest heavy
2:24
So that's quite interesting to look at. So yeah, you can see a lot of deforestation has happened in that time
2:29
And obviously this area, I suppose, is just too hot for forest to begin with. Concentration of castles in Europe
2:35
There are a lot of castles in Europe, it turns out. Like even in the UK, which is quite sparsely populated on this map
2:42
that is a lot of castles still. They're all over the place. I mean, I've seen a few castles in the UK in my time
2:47
And they're not really ginormous castles like this. They're more kind of walls that used to be cool castles
2:53
And that's what I assume a lot of these are. But wow, look at this
2:56
Look how many castles there are in France. That's absolutely crazy. And then you can see it kind of just continues all the way into Germany and a lot of other countries as well
3:05
Look at how many castles there are in Italy. Far fewer castles in Spain and Portugal, which is interesting to see
3:10
Though quite a chunk of them around here. I wonder why that is. Top 10 countries with the most tourists
3:15
All right, well then, hands and hands. So the number one country is France with 89.4 million. And this always surprises me. Like
3:22
I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with France, but it just feels like in somewhere like the USA, there so many more things to go look at because of literally how much bigger it is And it feels like there a bit more of a variety of the kind of things so it would appeal to many different types of tourists But no USA is second with 10 million less Then we got Italy similar to France
3:41
It's got a lot of history. Then Mexico, Germany, Spain. China's really high too, 65 million
3:46
Then Turkey, then Thailand, and then the UK. It is interesting how much of this list is European
3:51
And I think a lot of it is other people in Europe visiting European countries
3:55
because of how accessible Europe is to travel. Now, if you're planning a holiday like the tourists in this map, it's very important to have good internet connection throughout your trip
4:04
Relying on finding random Wi-Fi spots is inconsistent and pricey, so that's why I use Saley
4:10
Saley is the eSIM app that gives you internet connection in not just these countries, but also over 190 countries worldwide
4:17
It is so easy to use, you just download the app, then select which country you're going through, so which plan you want
4:23
I went with the Global app, which gives you access to most countries. But if you just want to go to Thailand, then obviously you just select the Thailand plan
4:30
You then enable the eSIM in your phone settings, and that is it
4:34
I went to Ireland last year, had a lovely time, went on quite a few hikes. It was nice. Thanks for asking
4:38
Do you know what made the trip even better? Stable internet access. We went on a few hikes where we were out longer than we thought
4:44
It got kind of dark. So making sure I had internet access was very important. I'm currently using the global plan, which will be super useful for my up-and-coming Netherlands trip
4:53

5:02
The end of natural population growth? Question mark? Year in which deaths started to outnumber are expected to outnumber births
5:09
Oh, so yeah, if you don't know, world's populations are slowing down
5:13
Overall, less people are reproducing. Though there are some countries, like a lot of ones in Africa
5:18
where the population is increasing a lot still. So all of these yellow countries, which is a lot of Europe
5:23
You see Russia's obviously there. They are officially having more people die than are being born
5:28
So their population is slowing down. We can actually see if we enhance, enhance that Germany and also Czechia
5:35
And then is that Hungary, I think? Their populations have been slowing down since 1990
5:39
So that's a while ago. Then if we look at the other blue areas, a lot of these are going to start slowing down sometime between 2021 and 2050
5:46
And then as I said, a lot of these African countries and Australia, which is interesting
5:50
I didn't know that. Their population still must be increasing quite a bit, so it won't be until 2100 onwards that they start reporting a deficit
5:58
But it is very interesting to see that the population is kind of getting to a peak
6:02
Like, I think I saw somewhere that people think it's going to probably get to about 10 billion
6:06
and then after that point, it's going to just start very slowly going down. So a lot of you watching, and myself hopefully, will probably exist to witness the most humans that will ever exist on planet Earth
6:17
Kind of crazy to think about. Map of the Gambia, the weirdest shaped country in the world
6:21
Yeah, this is so strange. It looks like an intestine. But basically, Gambia is over in West Africa
6:28
and it is completely surrounded by Senegal, and then a little bit of the North Atlantic Ocean
6:33
I think the borders generally followed the river for a while. But isn't that just a really wild country shape
6:38
It looks like part of the colon. That's my first thought as well. I personally think Tajikistan has the weirdest shape
6:44
Ooh, go on, then. I can't actually visualize that. It is a weird shape, you know, all of this up here, but it doesn't look like a colon, does it
6:51
Nah, I think the Gambia wins. Countries where less than 1% of the population are immigrants
6:55
So it's quite a few massive countries, which I suppose actually makes sense. This is weird
6:59
It's kind of throwing me off. Does Europe fit in up here? It feels like Africa's too high when I
7:04
just see these countries Legal left hand turns at red light state by state What I don even know what that means So for most areas of the US left turns on red from one street into one
7:15
streets are permitted. Okay. A few states don't allow left-hand turns when you're on red at all
7:20
Wait, you can actually do a left-hand turn when there's a red light? Or does it mean
7:25
you can do it when it turns green? I'm confused. 1936 election. Whoa. Roosevelt absolutely
7:33
dominated. That is a hell of a landslide. I don't even know who Landon is, and I guess that makes
7:38
sense. Etymology of state names. Ah, this is interesting. So all of the green states, their
7:44
name comes from something related to the Native Americans. So for example, Texas. Let's look into
7:49
that one. It originates from the Cato Indian word Teysha, meaning friends or allies. The Spanish who
7:54
initially explored and colonized the area adopted this term when interacting with the Cato. Right
8:00
Sounds a little bit ironic. Then obviously everywhere that was discovered first, basically
8:04
These all have British etymology. American, which is an interesting one. All the way up the top
8:08
Is that Washington? So I guess it's named after an American. Is that the logic there
8:12
Yellow is from Spanish colonialism. Blue is French. They managed three. Greek
8:17
Where's the purple one? Oh, this little fella. I don't even know who that is. Rhode Island
8:21
That makes sense. And Polynesian is Hawaii. That also makes sense geographically
8:26
Sex ratio in Europe. This is women per 100 men. So in these kind of areas, there are about 120 women per every 100 men, which is interesting
8:37
I wonder why that is. I actually have no idea. Over in Norway and Sweden and also Iceland, it's down to below 100 per 100
8:45
But then in the UK, actually, it splits up. So we can see specifically in this area of Scotland, there are slightly more women than men
8:52
But from the majority of the UK, it's about 50-50. It's really interesting data
8:56
This is a really interesting comment. So the map isn't age specific and because women generally live longer than men and this map includes those elderly women
9:04
That's what pushes the data off a bit Where if you were looking at a younger age group from like 40 and below it's 50 50 in most places
9:12
Countries with recorded temperature extremes above 48 degrees celsius and under minus 48 degrees or even both which is interesting
9:20
So let's look at both first So some areas of india have had both super hot and super cold temperatures
9:26
Same with Canada and the US, which is very interesting. I suppose it kind of makes sense in these very large countries
9:32
where they have all sorts of different altitudes and stuff. Whereas on average, like most of Europe is all kind of neutral
9:38
I can remember in the UK, it has got up to, I think, 42 degrees where I'm from
9:44
And that felt absolutely mental. So 48 is crazy hot. It's interesting that Italy actually has both
9:49
I'm curious why that is. There's a lot of blue, obviously, further north, which makes sense
9:52
And then the Sahara Desert is obviously going to have a lot of red too
9:56
Percentage of people who've read a book in the past 12 months. Ooh. All right, UK isn't included
10:01
I'll be honest, I have not read a book in the last 12 months. Last book I read was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, I think
10:08
And that was probably three years ago now. Books still very popular over in Sweden, Norway, and Finland, though, up at 70%
10:16
It is interesting how countries seem to group together a little bit. I suppose culturally it makes sense
10:21
But a lot of these numbers pretty low. We have 30% is the lowest over in Romania
10:26
There's not many people at all nearest country to everywhere in the usa I've seen this a lot of times, but it's always really interesting
10:31
I love how cuba managed to squeeze in this teeny tiny bit here and then the bahamas
10:36
Which is you know such a random country But it is actually technically closest to such a huge chunk of the country But mexico and canada really do dominate and then russia and canada squeeze in with alaska which is quite cool and then also bahamas is curabas
10:50
oh here we go use of dinner versus tea versus supper in the uk all right so where i grew up we
10:56
called our evening meal tea and we called our noon meal dinner whereas where becky my girlfriend
11:01
grew up she calls her evening meal dinner so over the years that's caused a bit of confusion for us
11:06
And thinking about it, I think I've just accepted her way of life, and I now call evening meal dinner and the lunchtime meal lunch
11:13
My mom did say supper, but it was not the evening meal. It was like a snack before bed at like, I don't know, 8 p.m
11:19
So we can see that I guess the majority of the North, they go with tea
11:23
It's interesting there's a tiny portion of Southern England that go with supper. But really, when we look at the whole thing, it's kind of just a bit all over the place, isn't it
11:30
Countries are at war with Bulgaria since 1944. Wait, what? Why is basically everyone at war with Bulgaria
11:37
Did they not officially end their place in World War II? I can't actually find an answer to this
11:42
Can anybody explain in the comments? Well, this is interesting. The US buy places with similar climates
11:47
So with that extreme temperature map earlier, this breaks it down even further. So you see this northeast area of the US is a bit colder and has similar temperatures
11:55
to places like Poland, to the Baltics, to South Finland. But then further in the south, it's a bit warmer
12:02
We've got southern China. We've got southern Brazil. That is getting pretty spicy
12:06
We got southern Japan. And then as we move over to the west, things get very hot
12:10
So this area of the US is the same temperature as Cairo and the Sahara
12:15
Whoa. Yeah, this country's really all over. It's absolutely mad. Map of Europe 13 million years ago
12:21
Wow. This is so interesting to look at. It's as if you've just used the Liquify tool from Photoshop
12:26
Everything's just slightly distorted. If you look carefully, you can see modern country outlines. so you can see that just water was way lower
12:32
and therefore far more of the British Isles were exposed. At this point in time, even though the UK didn't exist
12:37
it was connected to the rest of Europe. Spain's kind of cut in half. This is a wacky shape down here
12:43
I don't know what's going on. Italy also looks very different, and we can see huge chunks of water here
12:47
in what is now Romania, Hungary, those sort of areas. Very interesting
12:52
The word mother in different European languages. Okay, so in the UK, it's mother or mum
12:57
In Wales, it's mam, that's what I say. In Germany, it's Mutter. In Netherlands, it's Morda or Mama
13:02
In Luxembourg, it's Mam. In France, it's Mireya or Mama. In Spain, it's Madri or Mama
13:07
In Portugal, it's May or Mama. In Italy, it's Madre or Mama. In Poland, it's Matka or Mama
13:12
In Ukraine, it's Mamu or Mama. In Bulgaria, it's Muka or Mama
13:16
In Serbia, it's Maika or Mama. And in Germany, it's Anne. Ooh, this is good
13:21
The longest place names in Europe. Okay, so Iceland have Svalbard Rostradstandar Höpörupe
13:28
Now I have a place called Krenbergsundsodegarten. Finland have got an area called Ertelsipurteritsipululitoyetischranka
13:39
Poland have got a place called Schremenakhausiskansnarka. Germany have got Schremenwurwurrschwesterich. Spain have an area called St. Remy und Brwomont St. Gnässt e Esion
13:54
And Wales have a place called Okay, well I think on that note, we'll probably leave this video there
14:08
Hopefully you enjoyed this one. I thought it was interesting. Remember to go check out Sanely
