Maps I find awesome
0:01
The world map as issued by the Brazilian government. Whoa. So they've put Brazil in the center
0:06
because on most world maps, it's like the UK is actually in the middle. And then they've also flipped it upside down
0:12
so South Pole's at the top. Do you know what? I always love an upside down map, where the text is actually the correct way around
0:18
It just really throws you off. I know it makes perfect logical sense, but it's just crazy seeing how different everything looks
0:24
Ah, so the reason it's upside down is because Brazil is mainly in the Southern Hemisphere
0:28
So it sort of puts it more naturally into the center. This is what a world map would look like, by the way, if New Zealand was in the middle
0:34
There's the little dinky fella. Crazy to visualize. The percentage of homeowners from each state that always lock their door
0:39
Okay, so my door is like permanently locked. But I know a lot of my family members, if they're in the house, they just leave the door freely unlocked
0:46
And it actually does seem quite common looking at these statistics. We've got kind of three quarters of people on average would lock their doors
0:52
Which is quite a big chunk of people just leaving their houses open. And over in North Dakota, 48%, literally over half of the people keep their doors unlocked
1:01
93% over in... what state is that? Don't tell me. Is it Alabama? It's Georgia. Okay, Alabama's this one
1:08
So I assume Georgia's just got a higher crime rate, maybe. The most popular browser in 2012
1:12
Okay, we've seen this before, but it's a classic. So you can see a lot of the world was using Internet Explorer
1:18
Chrome was kind of coming in. It was dominating South America already. Firefox popular in Europe and Africa, which is interesting
1:24
and then Opera even getting the number one spot. Whereas in 2025, it's basically Google Chrome everywhere
1:31
excluding, is that South Sudan? Which isn't marked on the map. Safari for Lithuania and then Firefox
1:37
Where is that? Is it Georgia? It's Armenia. That's so interesting. But yeah, crazy to see how successful Google Chrome has been
1:43
particularly given the fact that on most Windows computers, you have to actively download Chrome
1:48
It's not like it's installed already. It's time for our annual land doesn't vote moment
1:52
Canada's 2025 general election. Okay, so this is Canada and this is, you know, which district was
1:58
won by which party, but then if we don't put size into account, it's actually based on numbers
2:04
which I think is what this is doing, you can see that the results are quite a lot different. It
2:08
does seem mental that it's not based on number of individuals as opposed to just where a lot of
2:13
individuals do and don't live. I know the UK has this constant argument as well. Where did Jesus
2:18
his disciples go after this picture. Ah, here's a brand new map. I've never seen anything like this
2:23
So here's all the lads all sat on one side of the table. Seems very inefficient, but whatever
2:28
And then here's the map of where they all went. So everybody's starting in Jerusalem. Joseph made
2:34
his way to Wales. Fair play, Joseph. Anyone else go quite far? We've got James is over in Spain
2:40
A lot of people sort of sticking around Turkey and that sort of area. Whoa, where's Thomas going
2:44
Thomas has slid off the side of the map, he's off to India I guess? Eligible electors by region for the next pope
2:50
So at time of recording we've already had a US pope appointed. But pretty interesting to see all of the eligible candidates
2:56
I've never really looked into how it all worked, so I didn't know popes were elected
3:00
I kind of thought you were born into it kind of like a monarchy I suppose that stupid though literally could be any continent Doctors can refuse an abortion in these countries Sweden Finland Czechia Bulgaria Literally only four European countries Kind of mental you know So many countries including the one I in a doctor
3:16
can say, no, sorry, I know it's your body, but I'm deciding this one. Okay, apparently it might
3:21
not be as few countries, because in Czechia, an individual doctor can refuse to do an abortion
3:26
because of religious reasons, for example, but the Czechian hospital still has to find someone else
3:31
in the hospital that will carry out the abortion. And this is the same in a few other countries
3:34
including the Netherlands. 70% of Canada's population lives in the coloured areas. That
3:39
is always really, really crazy to see, isn't it? Huge regions of Canada just has very few people in
3:45
them. It's really amazing to see, isn't it? I mean, I know that this isn't quite as huge as it feels
3:50
because of how, like, a map is stretched at the top, but this is still a colossally large area
3:55
Where the popes were born are we get to visualize the entire history. So 217 of them were born in Italy, which is kind of what I expected
4:03
But as you can see, that's non-exclusive. We've also had one from Argentina. We've had one from the USA most recently
4:09
One from the UK at some point. 16 from France. A couple from Turkey
4:13
So I guess we've had a pope from every continent other than Oceania. Will I get to witness that
4:17
I don't know how long popes are poppin' for. Do you have to die to stop being the pope? Is that the only way it goes
4:22
Like, are you locked in once you've committed? I don't know, but what I do know is choosing a new pup probably took a lot of organization
4:28
But do you know what else takes a lot of organization? Uploading as many YouTube videos as me
4:33
And that's why I use Odoo and its project app to keep track of all of my videos every month
4:38
Odoo is an all-in-one business software that answers every business need, from accounting and invoicing, to website creation and CRM, and so much more
4:46
With Odoo's project app, I get a clear indication of everything I need to record
4:50
what's waiting to be edited, what's waiting for me to schedule it, and what videos are completely
4:55
finished. I can assign specific editors to specific videos. So Kai generally does more stuff on Jack
4:59
Sucks at Geography, but I had Becky do this one as an extra video, and that's why it's also got a
5:04
slightly lower priority than the others. If I want to, I can add specific deadlines to each video. I
5:09
can also make notes about video changes and schedule calls to discuss things in more detail. Kanban is
5:13
my personal favorite, but there are so many other ways to visualize tasks depending on your specific
5:18
needs. So get yourselves organized with Odoo's project app now. Your first Odoo application is
5:23
free for life with unlimited hosting and support. And if you want to unlock the full suite of Odoo's
5:28
business management apps, plans start from only 19 euros 90 per month. My link is in the description
5:33
if you want to get started. 24 hours of flights between Europe and the US. Whoa, look at that
5:39
That is busy. Do you know what? I've got a flight radar download on my phone. Anytime there's a
5:43
little helicopter or a plane going over, I'm like, where have they come from? Where are they going? Interesting to see so much of Europe kind of not really explored by US
5:51
Everybody's sort of sticking to this left side. Percentage of people who believe the government is hiding a cure to cancer
5:56
Such interesting maps today. Just a big variety of stuff. Okay, basically what we're seeing here is a lot of countries think that the government is hiding
6:03
In my own country, one third of people apparently. I don't think I would believe that
6:07
I like to have a little bit of faith but hey who knows Turkey very pessimistic Same with Macedonia and Albania down here Maps showing countries within range of Israel nuclear missiles Okay so pretty much everyone then
6:20
Cool, good to know. UK's largest immigrant communities by region. Okay, so you can see that literally it's just two, India and Poland
6:27
Where I live down here, and I would agree, I do notice quite a few Polish people
6:32
And to be honest, very few Indian people. It's quite a white region. It's interesting that there's not more variety
6:37
Like, literally just two countries. I would have expected a bit more of a hodgepodge
6:41
As a Paul married to an Indian living in the UK, I enjoyed this map. The first five countries to recognize the United States
6:47
All right, interesting. So France was first. UK is not even on there
6:51
Oh no, Morocco was first on the actual year. Then France, then the Netherlands, and then Sweden and Spain
6:57
Look at that once again. We just got a new map on something totally different
7:00
Who wants to join the EU the most? So in Albania, 94% of people do apparently
7:05
Kosovo, 90%. Ukraine, 87%. Basically very high for all of these, as well as Georgia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina
7:12
North Macedonia, and then the numbers start dwindling a little bit. UK is actually on there
7:16
Obviously, they famously left, but about 50% of people want to rejoin
7:20
Switzerland, very low at 7%, though. Switzerland just, they like doing their own thing, don't they
7:24
I'll say let them all in. Why not? I don't have any jurisdiction. Countries where more people died than were born during the year 2024
7:31
Oh, very interesting. So this is basically which countries' populations are slowing down and actually decreasing, possibly
7:37
And you can see it's quite a few, generally all same regions. Basically Europe and then I guess the east side of Asia
7:43
It's really interesting to see this kind of stuff. How so many different things like finance and culture are just creating reasons for people not fancy and having kids anymore
7:50
Sahara Desert today. Okay, fair enough. Sahara Desert 6,000 years ago. You can see it was far less desert-y
7:57
Actually a bit of rainforest and a few gigantic lakes as well
8:02
Very interesting to see, isn't it? Wouldn't it just be magical if you could just go back, just have a little look at it for a second
8:07
Which of the 10 largest cities by population is closest to you? Another very interesting concept
8:12
So if you're in basically all of Europe or Africa, then Cairo is your biggest closest city
8:18
which I did not know. I'm in here, but I had no idea about that. Beijing dominates this big chunk of Mongolia, Russia, Siberia, all that
8:25
Tokyo is obviously massive, but I guess Osaka must be too. Dhaka slides all the way down here
8:30
Sao Paulo manages to take over basically all of South America. This is really interesting
8:35
Tokyo actually managing to be the biggest city if you're in Alaska as well, which is cool
8:40
Medium home size in the USA compared to parts of Europe. Okay, so from the depiction of American television
8:45
homes in the US just seem gigantic. Every single one seems like a mansion
8:50
Like, I watch sitcoms where people are complaining that they don't have much space, and I'm thinking that's bigger than my entire house
8:55
and I don't even have a small house. So let's take a look at the median and see if that's still correct
9:00
I mean, yeah, we've got a lot of 2000s here, whereas in the UK, it's only 800 square feet
9:05
so literally everywhere as far as i can see is still twice the size excluding hawaii but isn't
9:10
that crazy and then who's got the biggest houses in europe it would be denmark and then greece okay
9:15
interesting and uh the uk is sort of average with everybody else africa in 10 million years whoa So I thought that Madagascar was this big one but Madagascar actually looks fairly unchanged I guess there
9:29
must be a tectonic play here that's just slowly splitting off sort of Somalia, Ethiopia, those
9:34
sort of areas. And you can also see that it has reconnected with Spain too. I mean, this is 10
9:39
million years away, so I assume that there'll be no humans at this point. Is it legal to drink
9:44
coffee while driving. So it is legal everywhere in Europe other than Greece and Cyprus. Interesting
9:50
Come on, guys, let them have a little, you know, why not? European countries buy their exact shade
9:54
of blue in their flag. Ah, this is a bit of me, this. Beautiful. So newly updated, France seems
10:00
to have the darkest shade of blue. I personally prefer the previous blue. I'm just saying
10:05
France, sorry. And then who's that? Is that, well, hang on, I could work it out. It can't be Georgia
10:10
because their flag is red and white. It must be Azerbaijan, is it? Yeah, it makes sense. They've
10:13
got a lovely light shade of blue. I go crazy for that beautiful little aqua. Very nice. What are
10:17
young Europeans worried about? Okay, so in France, Spain, Portugal, etc., they are worried about health
10:24
That's sad. Over in the center of Europe, they're worried about war. Once again, sad. I mean
10:29
literally all of these are sad, aren't they? War seems to be the biggest one on the list. Housing
10:32
is a big concern over in Ireland and in the Netherlands. And then education actually slips
10:38
in for Hungary with Lithuania picking taxes. What's happening with taxes in Lithuania? I actually
10:42
can't work it out. Guys, please let me know in the comments. Ooh, world map according to Apple
10:47
look around, which is Apple Maps version of Street View. I did not know Apple look around
10:51
was a thing. Can I access that now? I've never used Apple Maps. I can't work it out. Oh wait
10:59
it's not in the UK yet. That explains it. They've done a lot of Europe already though
11:04
and summits of Canada. So quite interesting locations that have been picked out. I guess
11:08
they're still going. It looks like they've pretty much got New Zealand and Australia covered too
11:13
Oh my god, it's come back to me. I drove past an Apple Maps cart and I put my fingers out the
11:18
window and I kept checking, but the coverage still isn't there. This was like a year ago at this
11:23
point, so they are taking their time. Size comparisons of European microstates. I would
11:28
love to do a video where I just visit all of the European microstates. Like, wouldn't that be so
11:32
cool? But it is amazing here to visualize the actual difference. Like, for a long time, I knew
11:36
Vatican was the smallest, but I thought of San Marino and Liechtenstein, for example, as basically
11:41
being the same size. And Luxembourg, which isn't even on this list because it's much bigger, I
11:45
thought that was about the same size as well, but I'm completely wrong. So Andorra and Malta
11:50
pretty big considering they are small. US States flag map, all quite similar in color there. I did
11:57
not think about how much blue there was. A couple of years ago, I did a video where I learned every
12:01
single one of these, like all 50. It has not stayed in my head. I know a few, you know, I've got
12:06
Colorado California obviously Texas but then kind of after that on the ones where it's not just written
12:10
I can't really remember them, but there's some really nice ones There's a lot of really ugly ones as well and then they keep kind of changing them as well
12:17
So we've got Utah's here, which is looking good So do you have a favorite us state flag? Let me know in the comments down below and on that note
12:23
I'm gonna end off the video. Hopefully you enjoyed it If you did, please do click that like and that subscribe button below and I will see you all later
