Hello and welcome to this month's JackSucksAtGeography Reddit video
0:03
We're on the new geography subreddit, it is still quite small, 14,000 members
0:07
I'm looking through this subreddit once a month, so if you want me to react to something next month, then join the subreddit, the link is in the description
0:12
This video is also sponsored by the wonderful Squarespace. Let's take a look at the top post
0:16
Suggestion for Jack. Jack should get a DNA test and share the results on his channel
0:20
Ah yeah, so we can see exactly where my ancestors are from. So if we made from the northeast, I'd potentially have like a bit of Scottish in me
0:26
maybe like Norwegian or something. That would probably be an interesting video. You know what? That sounds like an interesting video. I will do it and maybe I can get a DNA testing company to sponsor me too
0:34
Ooh, mean but with geography too. You know what? I don't understand what's going on here, but it's the second most upvoted post of the whole month
0:41
So I feel bad skipping it. What's happening? I have no clue what this is supposed to mean, but I love it
0:46
Well, I'm glad that it's not just me Oh for god's sake. Why is this back? This was on my Jack sucks a live summer as well
0:52
But I think it's better suited here Republic of the Congo. Who cares about that? Republic of the Congo
0:57
Oh, yes. Shout out to Kong, my dog. Where is he? He's not here. This post is just a pretty accurate cockerel
1:03
that has been made with all of the continents and islands of the earth. That's really good
1:06
Thank you. I found India and Sri Lanka in Minecraft. Because this bit of ocean looks like India
1:11
and the pond looks like Sri Lanka. Well, with content like this, I should be doing this series every week
1:15
Guys, if I mention the geography somewhere, it's in the description. Please join so that the posts could be better
1:20
Jack in 50 years will be like, I named every village, town, and city in the world
1:24
Did the Learning Capital Cities video do well? Oh, it did 300k. That's pretty good. It's been two weeks since that video came out
1:30
It's been about a week since I've done European capitals off camera. So I'm going to attempt to name them right now while Jack from the future does this month's Squarespace integration
1:37
Hi, everyone. Look at this pretty website I made of places I'd like to go on holiday. I made this professional-looking website really quickly because it was made with Squarespace
1:43
They have absolutely tons of professional-looking templates for all sorts of different categories like portfolios or online e-commerce stores
1:49
The templates are obviously fully customizable. And once your website's live, you have loads of detailed ytics to look through so you can optimize your site even more
1:55
Squarespace now even offer the opportunity to generate extra revenue by letting you create gated content that your website users would have to unlock with a membership
2:02
So if you want to make any kind of website at all, head to squarespace.com slash jacksucks and you can get 10% off your first purchase of a website or a domain name
2:09
Anyway, let's see how I'm getting on with those European capitals. All right, welcome back. I have managed to do 44-47, including the tricky ones like Ljubljana
2:17
But annoyingly, I've forgotten Austria and I've also forgotten Montenegro, which I know is something like Pod Garcia
2:23
but for some reason nothing's working and then also bosnia i forgot so let's give up and see what i was
2:27
missing vienna jesus christ and then sarajevo in bosnia and pod gorica hodgorica god i was close to
2:35
that but 94 is pretty good consider i haven't practiced for like over a week i drew the welsh
2:39
dragon fighting the batan dragon well that is epic thank you this is my favorite flag st lucia the seychelles am i a joke to you hey i sorry but I made my final decision I love the Seychelles flag It was previously my favourite flag but I since decided I like St Lucia slightly more
2:53
It is weird, by the way, seeing me on the Happy Hour podcast, because it's like one of the biggest podcasts in the UK
2:58
and I've listened to so many, like, actual celebrities on it, so seeing me sat in that little chair with the microphone and stuff, it's surreal
3:04
If you haven't seen my Happy Hour episodes, there is a segment where they describe flags to me
3:08
and I have to guess what they are, so it might be of interest to you. Can you scratch my back? Yeah, where? The Republic of Congo
3:14
It's always itchy around the Republic of Congo, isn't it? That's a cool tattoo, though
3:18
I'm assuming that they colour it in every time they go to a different country. So this person's travelled a lot
3:22
Me and Becky have got a map like this hung up in a frame. Don't think I'd get a tattoo. Countries I knew before I got into geography
3:27
Do you know what? I was probably pretty much the same. And it's so nice to know so much more about the world now
3:31
I know I still have lots and lots to learn, of course. Chad looks like the Chad memes face
3:35
Do you know what? You are not wrong. It literally does. But I also feel like it might literally be based off the country outline
3:40
Yeah, that's what it is. That solves that mystery. I wonder what today's world is
3:45
Yeah, not a particularly challenging one, that. I haven't done the world in absolutely ages
3:49
Oh, I mean, it almost feels depressing typing it in. Oh, Jesus
3:54
Right, we'll do the global then. Here we go. Do you know what? We'll start with USA, please
3:58
In that case, I will try Indonesia. Oh, 300 kilometers now. Maybe Thailand then
4:05
Wow, my genius knows no bounds. Incredible. World map at my local children's hospital
4:10
What's wrong with it? So many things it's missing new zealand to begin with but a lot of the caribbean islands are missing
4:16
Lazy close the children hospital down. What's the point? Japan in the style of bangladesh. You've made the circle slightly off center. That's quite funny to be fair guys
4:24
He did it can I name all 47 capital cities of europe
4:28
Yes, i've done episode one and i'll never do episode two What do people have to say about it? Let's see wasn't this the case with flags people were saying to learn the flags until he got
4:36
tired of it and actually learned them. Oh, that's so weird. Yeah, I really, really did not want to
4:40
learn flags because I knew it'd be really difficult, but now it just feels like second nature to me
4:45
and I've done so many videos that involve knowing the flags. That's really weird to think about
4:49
Hey, maybe in a year's time, I'll be the same with capital cities. Revenge. Yes, New Zealand is sick
4:53
of being cut out of maps. It serves every other country right. There we go. Countries mentioned in
4:58
history books for my class in high school, the dark green are countries mentioned in history events
5:02
and the light green are the ones mentioned only partially. I wonder if you can guess what country
5:05
this book is from oh that's tricky side note isn't it sad like how many countries we just never hear
5:10
about like all the awful stuff that the uk has done historically to africa and at my school we
5:15
just didn't learn about any of it but anyway i would assume if you were from the uk there would have been a mention of the us but you've not got any of the americas so because of that i reckon
5:22
you're from one of the smaller countries in europe but i wouldn't be able to guess which
5:26
poland okay so one of the larger countries but that was the right answer all right fair researched a little on the south korea flag okay so the white background symbolizes peace and love The red and the blue are just positive and negative creating balance And then the dashes represent sky earth water and fire
5:41
It's a really nice flag. It's iconic, and it's nice to see the meaning behind it. Learn the capital cities
5:45
I'm all right, thanks. Learn every British overseas territory. Out of interest, shall we see if I can still name any of them
5:52
Because I've not really been practicing this one at all. Turks and Chaos Islands
5:57
Yes. British Virgin Islands is one British Antarctic Territory British Indian Ocean Territory uh
6:03
Saint Helena Gibraltar please can never spell this one Gibraltar there we go what else is there
6:08
there's one that sounds like Antigua isn't there Anguilla is it like Anguilla or something
6:14
Anguilla there we go there's another one that's like pit oh pitcairn yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
6:21
oh and Bermuda as well I can't remember the one that's in Cyprus it's too specific then there's
6:25
the Falkland Islands. There we go. Oh, South Sandwich. Yes, South Sandwich Islands. Yes. Okay
6:32
that's as many as I can get. What am I missing? Cayman Islands, Montserrat and Akrotiri and
6:37
Dekelia. Yeah, that one's a tricky one to remember. I should really start playing border
6:41
roll. How many of these things are there? All right, here we go. We've got five lives. What
6:44
borders Serbia? Okay, so I will do Albania. I think Albania borders. It is not Albania. Okay
6:51
I'll try montenegro then please. Oh, does this mean that albania doesn't border serbia, but montenegro does
6:57
Oh, and I didn't lose a life that time. Okay, we'll do kosovo kosovo borders, but it's not the right answer
7:02
Uh, I don't know. You know i'm gonna try ukraine Ukraine doesn't border. Oh, dear me. Romania is pretty big. Let's try it romania does border, but it's still not right
7:10
I've got three lives left. I'll try bosnia Bosnia borders, but it's not right. How have I not got it yet
7:15
I'm gonna try greece because I can't really think of anything else greece doesn't border. Oh, i've just realized what you do
7:20
You're supposed to name all eight of the countries, aren't you? You're not just trying to find a specific country
7:24
North Macedonia's one. I can't believe I've not done it. I'm going to try Hungary because I can't think of much else
7:28
Yes, Hungary does border. Oh, Bulgaria will be one, won't it? Yes, we've got seven of eight
7:32
I can't think of anything else. I'm going to try Croatia. Oh, I did it. I named them all. We named all eight and I only had three incorrect answers
7:38
Respectable. Canada's got a bit lazy on this one. I've seen this before, but it is incredible
7:42
So there is that street, the other street, and this street. That is amazing
7:47
One day we'll go there. The world according to Jack's learning habits, trying to imply that I only learn stuff about Europe
7:53
What about when I found every country in Africa without outlines? That was a good one, wasn't it
7:57
I like to start with Europe when I'm learning something new, all right? It's just the easiest one
8:01
My geography-themed birthday. Oh my god, those balloons are incredible. Why have I not gotten any of them balloons yet
8:07
And you've got a world map on your cake. Wow, what a nerd. Nerd
8:12
I can't call you a nerd. I know 10 out of 14 of the British Overseas Territories And those balloons are genuinely incredible I would quite like one for just the background of my videos permanently Oh my god I did it I learned all the capital cities It tough but doable took about three hours Good luck with Sri Lanka and Brunei Jack
8:27
Okay, that's the capital of Sri Lanka there Shredja Warden Purikote, but apparently people have told me that you can also just put Columbus
8:35
Which is like the old capital name or something and is that the capital of Brunei? Banda Seri Begwe Guan
8:40
Oh my god, I don't want to do it. I don't want to learn the capitals. Please don't make me
8:46
Hey, Drag, remember when you said that you would like to stay on the three-way bench between Hungary, Slovakia, and Austria
8:50
I took your spot. Oh, my God, you went to the bench. It needs a paint job, doesn't it
8:54
Look at the flags. They're all eroded away. What an honor, though. Incredible. Nah, man, just learned the bloody capitals
8:58
Yeah, people weren't really that bothered about my planets video. I think I faffed on and made it more complicated than it needed to be, too
9:04
But, hey, at least I've learned them now. Germans, our language is not offensive. Also Germans
9:08
Die, queen. D is the feminine word for the in German, by the way, if you don't realize it
9:13
We will 100% see this before learning all the capital cities, naming all 280,000 islands of Sweden
9:19
Side note, isn't it insane that Sweden has 280,000 islands? Like, that's absolute madness
9:26
You would not think that this was the country with the most islands in the world. You would assume it would be a country like Canada, wouldn't you
9:30
Because even when you zoom in, you don't find that many islands. But look, you zoom in more and more and you just have like, there's one, there's two, there's three, there's four
9:38
But even to get to the point of 280,000, that is just absolutely insane, isn't it
9:44
I would accept they had like 700 islands and I'd be like, wow, that's a lot of islands
9:48
But 280,000 islands, what? Just thought I'd remind you all, this exists
9:52
Oh no. So I can tell from the look of my office that this is about three years old, this clip
9:57
before I started doing any geography stuff. But I did a video where I just played about on Cool Math Games and I tried to name the
10:02
countries and I was really, really bad. Oh. Dracula. Transylvania. I thought Transylvania was a country in Europe
10:14
Wow. How far we have come. My flag collection, what do you think
10:18
I also have a flag of Poland and Switzerland, but I need to find a way to disconnect them from the pole. That is a strong flag collection, very nice
10:23
This town in Anglesey, Wales isn't even the longest town name in the world. Yeah, longest town name in the world is in New Zealand, I think
10:29
But Becky's family don't live too far away from that, so I'll probably visit and make a little YouTube short about it at some point
10:33
Jack, you can't defeat me, spelling Kyrgyzstan. I know, but he can
10:37
getting Gabon and Gambia mixed up. I always get Gabon and the Gambia mixed up. Every single time
10:43
it's so annoying. Another thing for Jack to learn before learning all the capitals, the tectonic
10:46
plates. Oh, that's a fun idea. Yeah, I'd probably be up for that. It doesn't look too difficult as
10:51
well. Curabas swimming trunks, my fave flag if you couldn't tell. Oh my god, I need a pair of those
10:56
They genuinely look incredible. And on that note, I'm going to end off this month's video. Join the
