Maps I find Intriguing! Subscribe with notifications and check out my other Youtube channels below! @JackSucksAtLife @JackSucksAtStuff @JackMasseyWelsh @JackSucksAtClips on JackSucksAtGeography we upload a range of easy to watch geography related games. We mainly play Sporcle games like "naming all 197 countries". I successfully learned all 197 countries and plan to learn more Geography trivia. On this channel I also play Geoguessr. This is a game that uses Google Street View to drop you in a random location and you have to work out exactly where you are on the worldwide map. Geoguessr was created in 2013.

Maps I find intriguing
0:02
Oh look at this we start off with a gif Oh that is fascinating look at it going all snowy and then it's not snowy and then it's snowy again and then it's not snowy now it's snowy
0:10
Oh, I love it. Oh look at it creeping on Chile and Argentina down the bottom near Antarctica
0:15
Is it kicking off anywhere else any other little discrepancies? It gets a bit mad around ah, that's the Himalayas, isn't it? That's what that is. Is that the Alps maybe
0:23
Oh god, what if it's not the Alps? Oh, it is the Alps. It is the Alps. That's right. I know stuff
0:27
stuff happiness map i have no idea what they've based this on but i will take it as fact people
0:31
are generally quite nice and happy in the america so that's good to see very happy in scandinavia
0:36
because you know they've got like good health system and that sort of stuff western europe's
0:40
pretty happy and then it just gets sadder and sadder the more east you go so that's a bit
0:44
depressing obviously this map just has a big correlation to poverty i guess so hopefully
0:48
things could only get better red hair map of europe that's really interesting isn't it over
0:52
Over 10% of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland have got red hair. And then there's just a bit of red hair over in Russia
0:58
But for the most part, it's not that common. I wonder what it is about the British Isles. Well, I've been trying to look at a bunch of articles
1:03
and it seems like it's related heavily to Celtic genes. And apparently, people relating redheads to the Vikings up in Scandinavia
1:10
is actually a common misconception. Very interesting. Penis size worldwide. Right. Okay
1:15
All right, so Unite Kingdoms on yellow, which is 13 inches. Or centimeters
1:20
Centimeters. Thank God. 13 to 14. Bit generous. There are more people living inside of this circle than outside of it
1:29
Oh god, I always say something stupid when these kind of maps pop up. I mean that makes sense
1:33
It's got China and India in there along with many other countries. Metal bands per 100,000 people
1:39
There are so many metal bands in Scandinavia that incredible Oh this is interesting Google autocomplete results Europe Why is insert country here so dot dot dot So when you type into Google why is the United Kingdom so it autocompletes with rich
1:53
And it does that for a few places it seems. We've got Norway, and we've got Germany
1:56
For Italy, apparently it says racist. I want to fact check this. Why is Italy so expensive? It's out of date
2:04
Why is the United Kingdom not a federal system? That map's talking out of its arse
2:10
People in the EU aged 25 to 34 who still live with their parents
2:14
So this will be quite interesting. So in the UK, 14% of the age group still live with their parents
2:18
We've got similar themes in France and Germany. And then it's much less common down here in Greece
2:22
So I reckon if this map was updated, I mean, the statistics would be even higher
2:26
particularly in the UK, because the housing market is mental. It is just ridiculously broken
2:31
And it's just almost impossible for most young people to buy their own house now
2:35
So I do not judge anyone living with their parents, because the economy is completely broken
2:39
Oh, this is insane. 2% of Australia's population lives in this region
2:43
We've looked at maps like this before, but yeah, it's basically just showing that everyone lives around the coast. And in a previous map video
2:48
we did discover that this central area is equivalent temperature to the Sahara Desert
2:52
So you can understand why only 2% of the entire population live in this huge area
2:57
How the world would look if mapping conventions were flipped upside down
3:01
Oh my goodness me! All I can see is a duck. Anyone else see the duck
3:05
I can't stop seeing the duck. Yeah, that is really interesting to look at. Everything looks a different shape
3:09
but when you actually think of it the other way around, it is in a different shape. Most popular type of alcoholic beverage
3:14
So in the US, in Canada, in quite a bit of Africa
3:18
and in the UK, beer is most popular. And then we've got spirits being most popular
3:22
for almost all of Asia. Obviously you got that Russian vodka stereotype which obviously must have some truth according to this anyway But yeah beer is a lot more popular globally than i expected but then in italy of course it is wine as most popular interesting the world divided into seven regions each with a population of one billion that an
3:40
interesting one so africa remains its own continent still i honestly thought collectively
3:44
there'd be like quite a lot more than a billion people in africa whoa i've just realized how mad
3:48
china is because that's not even the entirety of china that's just a segment of china having a
3:53
Billion people inside of it, although it does include the careers and Japan I also like Australia just kind of tagging along with North and South America too. Hey guys, you might find it on green as well
4:03
Basically, no one lives here. Oh christ every country England has ever invaded all but 22 countries in the world. Nice one England
4:11
We haven't invaded Mongolia and there's actually a few countries in Africa that we didn't invade which is surprising
4:16
But I guess that's just because other Europeans beat us to it dreadful absolutely dreadful birthright citizenship around the world
4:22
Yes, no cannot confirm. I don't know what birthright citizenship means. Ah, I have looked into it and it basically just means if you were born in Canada, you automatically can become a Canadian citizen
4:33
Same with almost all of South America and the rest of North America as well. But that is not the case than basically everywhere else. That is interesting. Hmm
4:41
Monarchy's in the world. Right, so Saudi Arabia. Yeah, I think. Oman, I think so
4:47
And then these three are Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait, Kuwait. And then there's also Jordan
4:55
I'm checking, I'm checking. Give me a second. Yeah, I was right, wasn't I? Yeah, I was
4:59
I smashed it. Okay, so all of those places in the Middle East still have a monarch that rules the country
5:05
Which obviously, I assume in most cases, democracy is the better option for the people
5:09
But I say that as someone who has no idea what going on in these countries But yeah UK is blue which means we still have a queen But it the government that makes the rules The queen just you know uses all of our taxes and stuff So is the UK queen the figure out of Canada
5:22
She bloody is. She gets it everywhere, doesn't she? Lactose intolerance. Well, that's interesting
5:27
80 to 100% of Africa and South America, basically, are defined as lactose intolerant
5:32
So it's clearly something to do with ethnicity, which I didn't realise. I mean, we're all kind of lactose intolerant
5:36
Because when you actually think about it, what are we drinking cow's baby milk for? Bit weird guys most listen to artists in every state go on Jay-z Jay-z is dominating
5:47
Eastern America rap is very popular along the US apparently because this isn't rap specific
5:51
But most of the artists here are rappers imagine dragons managing to sneak in though go on
5:55
Most corrupt nations I mean when you look at these maps It's always interesting to see that there's basically the same results for most corrupt least happy least wealthy
6:05
They all basically relay the same data driving orientation an interesting one to end off on
6:10
So we see that a vast majority of the world does actually drive on the right. I've always just seen driving on the left as normal
6:14
However, the blue is clearly the minority. So perhaps it isn't the most efficient. No, I guess it can't make a difference, can it
6:19
I guess it's just you pick one. What we'll do is we'll have a look. Let's see if there's any advantages to driving on the right
6:24
Romans started this custom of riding on one side of the road. Historically, the majority of the population was right-handed
6:30
So we drove on the right as well. I guess that makes sense. In the Middle Ages, you kept to the left for the simple reason that you never knew who you'd meet on the roads in those days
6:37
You wanted to make sure that a stranger passed on the right so you could go for your sword in case he proved unfriendly
6:43
That is incredible. Kai, add some sword sound effects. Great stuff. And on that interesting bit of trivia, which I expect you to relay to others
6:51
we'll end off the video. Thank you so much for watching. Subscribe. I do upload once a week. And it's always something nice and interesting like this
6:56
All right, I'll see you later
