It has now officially been one year since I last did a video on my own geography subreddit
0:06
And that's because the subreddit kind of took on a life of its own, where it was growing without me
0:09
The posts stopped being about me specifically, and were instead just about geography in general
0:14
To the point where many of the subreddit members didn't even know who I was
0:18
So it just meant that when I was recording a video on the subreddit, I didn't really have that much to contribute
0:22
But, seeing as it has officially now been one year, I thought let's look at the top posts of the last 12 months
0:27
just because it should be quite interesting either way, and we'll see how long it takes to see something that's actually related to me specifically
0:34
So, top post of the year with 1,700 upvotes and over 3,000 comments
0:39
is if you had to get rid of an American state, what would it be? In what way are we getting rid of them
0:44
Are we, like, literally blowing them up? Because I don't know if I want to commit genocide that early into this video
0:49
Do you know what? I'll get rid of Vermont, because I always forget Vermont when I'm trying to name the states
0:53
Sorry, Vermont, if you're watching. Top comment was Wyoming because we need a square lake
0:57
Ah, okay, so if Wyoming was completely removed, there's just water instead
1:02
Yeah, that would look quite cool. Yeah, this is what I'm wondering. What do we mean by get rid of
1:06
Turn it into water, turn it into another nation, or make it independent? Like a Minecraft chunker
1:11
This person said Florida brackets. I live in Florida. Let's give Hawaii back to the native Hawaiians
1:18
Yeah, Hawaii popped into my head just because it seems like the most not USA of the USA
1:23
Say anything and I will find a way to connect it to Texas. Alright, we have 1,800 comments again
1:30
I never get that many comments on r slash jackstucksitlife, the subreddit that I do weekly videos on on my other channel
1:35
Maybe I'm the problem. Alright, anyway, how did he manage to relate things back to Texas
1:40
I'll make this extremely hard. Penguins. Penguins are animals in Andatsuka. You know what other geographical location has animals
1:46
Texas. That's a bit easy. He did it a bit too easily, you know? This person said Texas and asked to relate Texas back to Texas
1:53
And he said, Texas is a state. What else is a state? New Mexico. What borders new mexico texas you've been proven wrong fair enough i'm in the uk
2:00
I have no clue it was different the different types of power outlets Ah, look at that the greatest thing to ever come out of the united kingdom is the plug
2:09
Look at that free pin perfection The top one is a bit longer and doesn't even conduct electricity. It's purely just for safety
2:17
So you don't electrocute yourself. It doesn't get better. Mmm. Look at every single other one. They're all terrible
2:22
They're all so flimsy. They just fall out. What's this? What's Australia and China doing with these
2:27
And what's Denmark doing? I've never seen anything like it. What the f is that, Italy? Get your sh** together
2:32
Let's have a look at Italy's. Whoa, what is going on there
2:36
The number of sockets without switches really bothers me. Oh yeah, my god, it's not just normal to have switches like it is in the UK
2:42
Yeah, but do all UK sockets have a switch though? Is it a standardized thing? In Australia, we have switches everywhere
2:47
I've never seen a socket without a switch. What's the point of having a switch? I'm just really curious. I can't think of anything. I'm from the US where we don't have switches. Why do you not have switches
2:54
It's protective measures for children, unnecessary house fires and all-around prevention from complete stupidity
2:59
We have three holes in the UK. The top is to open the bottom two. Oh, yeah, that's another thing
3:04
The reason that this one at the top is longer is because it pushes a little contraption in the back of a socket
3:09
which allows the bits that electricity to go through to connect and prevents like children from just shoving forks in the socket holes and
3:16
electrocuting themselves because they can't do it unless they've unlocked it from the top. Oh, it's just genius
3:21
Anyway, back to switches. A switch also saves money. Switches are efficient energy savers
3:24
whilst easy to forget for foreigners here in the UK are very energy aware due to the cost of energy being higher
3:30
Yeah, a switch is the most logical thing ever. It just allows you to turn something off when you're not using it
3:34
So it's not used electricity. How do people not have switches Do people in the US just have everything on all of the time This is blowing my mind Guys what will you call this country And they combined the USA and Norway
3:46
In Norway, bro. Hahaha. What's happening here? There must be some joke I don't understand
3:52
Guys, what's that red thing between Spain and Germany? And then, if you scroll down, anyone know this thing between Spain and Germany
3:59
I don't- I don't get it. It's France. What- what's the joke
4:03
Guess which country I live in based on this map? These are countries you don't live in and this is the country you do live in
4:10
Okay. And you wonder why I stopped making videos on the subreddit. Keep in mind that I've been recording 14 minutes now and we are yet to get to a post that has anything to do with me
4:18
It's literally called Jack Sucks at Geography. When you live in a small country and see someone mention it on the internet
4:25
Oh my god. Maybe I'll get a mention in the comments somewhere. Not even a small country, but us Brazilians are summoned when someone says our name
4:32
Oh, yes! You did not use the Jack template. Finally! I have one brief tiny, tiny mention
4:38
Okay, let's see how long it takes before we get another one. Bro, this person's been blocked by NATO
4:43
What do you do to get blocked by NATO? They've not shared what they did
4:46
I really want to know. Which US state flag is the best
4:51
Ooh. I like the ones down here. I like Colorado. I like New Mexico
4:55
I think there's just something cool about the designs. Also, the California one's pretty iconic as well
4:59
But I would maybe be tempted to say New Mexico, you know. I'm undecided though
5:03
I'm undecided. Top comment is Arizona. Okay, let's have a look at Arizona. I think that's that one, isn't it? That's in the area of flags that I said I liked
5:10
New Mexico by far. Okay, I'm glad that other people seem to agree with me
5:14
I combined all 198 flags into one flag. What do you think? Whoa. Oh my goodness. That deserves an enhanced enhanced
5:21
Oh, look at this. Look at all the different types of stars. So we've got the bird insect thing from Papua New Guinea
5:27
We've got Kenya's shield. We've got Lebanon's tree. ah albania have done well with the the two-headed eagle right in the center and then above it we've
5:36
got lichtenstein's crown is that san marino's crown or vatican city's crown i don't know well
5:41
this is actually epic you know look at it everywhere it all looks pretty cool together
5:45
doesn't it dominica's little parrot still got the ugly white background on the haiti flag though
5:50
that's a shame i like seeing all the different stars as well i love this this should be the flag
5:54
of the world un new logo agreed i both hate and love this idea yeah in reality people would
6:00
probably kick off about like their position whereabouts they were located and stuff probably
6:04
be way too complicated but it does look really nice ah i've just noticed that like the guyana
6:10
triangles and timoles triangles and stuff it's so nice find the two correct flags oh we've got a
6:16
challenge okay we've got loads of flags that are not in the correct place you've also shoved some
6:21
like potatoes in ireland and stuff uh it's probably somewhere in the balklands right let's have a look
6:26
So we've got Yugoslavia instead of Croatia. So this is Serbia, but you've whacked Brazil there
6:31
So you've put Serbia in, what's that, Montenegro? I can't find the correct flags
6:35
Where's the correct flags? Is this correct? Is that, um, Slovakia or Slovenia
6:40
I always forget and people get angry about it. I think it's Slovakia, maybe, possibly
6:45
Oh, I was wrong. Apparently it's Georgia and Andorra. Ah, so Georgia's just slipped into the corner and Andorra's so tiny
6:52
Look at it down there. It's like it's in the bear's ass. That's so difficult. Europeans, hmm, I wonder why Americans don't travel much, until you realize that the entire continent of Europe fits comfortably into the United States
7:03
Which country has the most attractive men according to Europe? Whoa, so almost all of Europe say Italy
7:10
But the Italians say Sweden, which works out well because Sweden says Italy as well
7:14
We got a few Spains we got a few Brazils we got no United Kingdoms though Okay cool Okay as I continue to scroll through these posts I am reminded why I stopped doing these videos every month I just don have that much to say you know guess the flag I made out of candy It Sweden
7:32
Okay, cool. Oh This looks more fun to be fair. Guess the country so first letter wait, hang on. They're all the same flag. Oh, you're just spelling Laos
7:42
Right. Getting a comment from every county in USA. There are so many counties in the USA, but you have 2.2 thousand comments
7:49
Delaware County, Ohio. Look at this. Look at everyone posting. Cumming, Georgia
7:54
Yes, it's real. Norfolk County, Hymer County, Arizona, Marion County. I'm curious
8:00
I wonder how far we actually ended up getting. Can I get a comment from every state
8:04
That's probably a bit more achievable. Top comment is Canada. United States of America, United States, US
8:11
or USA? I think I go USA the most. That's probably what I would do. The US of A is also an option
8:17
Yeehaw. The flag of Kuwait looks like a 3D room. Whoa, I have literally never thought that
8:24
but you've changed the way I look at this flag forever. What's your favorite flag? Oh
8:28
this is interesting. So you've merged South American flags. So Argentina plus Argentina
8:32
obviously just makes the standard Argentina flag, but Argentina with a bit of Brazil mixed in
8:37
creates this fellow, which is kind of cool looking. Chile and Argentina look quite good
8:40
It gets a bit wackier as we head over to Uruguay. For example, Colombia and Uruguay, not a good color combination
8:46
I do not like that at all. A lot of the Uruguay ones don't really work, in my opinion
8:51
The Colombia ones are quite cool, like Colombia Chile. I don't know, I quite like that
8:54
I'm a big fan. The Brazil ones are kind of weird when you can't see the planet
8:58
but it looks good there, I think. You know what? I feel like all of these flags look better as their own flags
9:04
What's your favorite type of flag? I think border looks best. Border looks best
9:08
Nah, no way. The ones with just like white or a different color on the outside
9:13
Not a fan at all. You're crazy with that one. I do like a pal, if that's how it's pronounced
9:17
As well as a chevron. I think I'm just a lover for the diagonals. What's the top comment
9:21
I like the Scandinavian cross. That's fair enough. Yeah, it's cool. It's different
9:25
It's kind of iconic, isn't it? I tried drawing the USA from memory. Rate 1 to 10
9:29
Probably better than what I could do. Actually, I have tried to draw the US before
9:33
And it's definitely much, much better. Countries that drive on the left side of the road from what I know
9:37
It's not that many, is it? The UK is one of them. It's basically just a lot of places that the UK has messed with in the past
9:43
But yeah, far more of the world driving the right. Why is this so accurate how aliens see Earth in movies and it's just the United States
9:51
Yeah. True size of Brazil in Europe. It is... Wait, that's not Brazil
9:55
That's the US. What is happening here? I can't trust this somewhere at all
9:59
You got me thinking real hard here. Any big brainers? Can you guess one bordering country from South Korea
10:05
Okay, it's obviously North Korea. but I think this is a good opportunity for a Jack's Geography interlude
10:12
Oh, I don't immediately know it. Got some straight edges though, so I'm thinking somewhere in Africa
10:17
Let's whack down Sudan to begin with, just so we can get an idea
10:21
Okay, nowhere near Sudan. So is it South American then? Is it like, yeah, I think it could be like Paraguay or something
10:28
I'm going to try Paraguay. Paraguay's closer. It's the scale that throws you off because this could be a tiny country
10:34
So this might be somewhere hang on 5 000 kilometers Southwest no northwest is central america way closer than that. I don't know
10:42
I'm gonna try nicaragua just so I can get an idea of scale. No, it isn't we're 600 kilometers away now
10:48
So I mean i've just got to work my way through them guatemala next let's try it. Let's go for it. Yes
10:54
We got there in the end. Yeah, see when I say country like this, I always assume it's somewhere
10:58
ginormous like the size of Zimbabwe or something but obviously it was much smaller at Guatemala You get to choose two people to put their faces on Mount Rushmore Who are they Hey guys What about maybe Jack look geography face could go up there seems this is his subreddit
11:12
Maybe someone could suggest that. Oh someone did suggest my dogs Flossy and Cog. Well, I'm happy with that
11:17
I have scrolled to the bottom, but we do have Jack and pretty woman kitchen good top comment is just someone wanting themselves up there twice
11:23
Fair enough. I get that. Oh, we have an actual post that is about me
11:28
Hey, come on guys, Jack has to get this shirt to 225 upvotes and they wanted me to get a Seychelles shirt
11:35
It's a terrible post, but it's an actual post about me on my own subreddit
11:39
I've never been prouder. Something feels wrong about this picture. Oh my God, there's so many products like this that are just so unbelievably inaccurate
11:48
I mean, there's so many notable places missing like New Zealand, Madagascar, but also so many shapes are wrong and what the hell's that up above Australia
11:55
Who is that? Are you sure about that chat GPT? What countries have an O at the start
12:00
Some countries that start with the letter O include Oman, Austria, and Oman
12:04
Nailed it, chat GPT. Fair play. Whoa, guess where I'm from based on the European cities I can name
12:10
11,000. No. That is absolutely insane. UK and Italy are most populated
12:17
I'm gonna go with UK, I guess. That's crazy. Is that real
12:21
They didn't cheat. They did it over several months, apparently. How? How
12:25
Yeah, they are indeed from the UK. Damn, you're a genius. Yeah, fair enough photographic memory or something tell me country and I will tell you how much I like it
12:32
All right, we'll have a look mf did not respond to a single comment. That's crazy. What the hell
12:37
Why would he not respond? Why would he post this to get 690 comments and then be like nah change my mind
12:43
Sorry guys Why doesn't the united kingdom flag already look like this and you've combined all of the nations that looks crazy
12:51
I'm up for it though. Why not how presidents travel so in the us they're surrounded by security russia
12:57
lots of security too. France, uh, he's waving, but still loads of security. Estonia, little scooter
13:03
Oh, here we go, he was a post about me. Me and my friends drew a flag for every letter of the
13:07
English alphabet, Kanjak guessed them all. Yeah, surely I can do that. Algeria, Botswana, Chad
13:12
Denmark, Estonia, France, uh, Guinea, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Maldives, namibia oman palau katar uh republic of the congo switzerland tuvalu ukraine vietnam yemen
13:29
and zimbabwe oh could be zambia no zimbabwe oh it was zambia i ruined it at the end
13:36
how many countries have you guys been to i have been to you know a reasonable amount but i i don't
13:43
think i've left the uk since 2018 which is crazy really i need to get back on it but i've probably
13:48
been to about 10 countries over the course of my whole life, so I still have lots and lots of
13:53
traveling to do. This person's been to 16. That's a good spread, I reckon. Ah, well, if we're counting
13:58
Scotland and Wales, then that gives me an extra couple as well. Zero. Broad doesn't exist. Whoa
14:03
I've been to 36. Most of that was for work. That's pretty crazy. Look at that. What a list. That is
14:09
some traveling. If you're wondering what their job was, they did marketing for an international
14:13
charity, so they were sent around the world to get photos and videos and stuff. Oh, that's cool
14:18
Alright, well scrolling through this, I feel like we've probably exhausted what I can say
14:23
So thank you very much for watching. I suppose I'll leave the subreddit in the description
14:27
Feel free to start a civil war where we attempt to regain control of our own subreddit
14:32
But also don't bother if you don't want to. Either way, perhaps this is an opportunity to do these videos slightly more regularly if people want to see them
14:38
I don't know, let me know in the comments. I will see you later. Bye bye bye bye bye
14:42
I'm waving and I am putting my hand over the mic. See ya
