50 Fun And Informative Charts About Parts Of The World You May Not Have Known Yet

When my roommate (a diabetic) qualified for Obamacare and saw his new insulin prices, he CRIED. He's been paying hundreds a month just to LIVE!

He said, and I quote, “insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world.” It is very frustrating knowing that the companies make it with the intent for profit, and not to save lives.

The moral of the story is to license the patent for free to the pharmacy companies... Just in case there any pandas out there that might invent something soon and want to give it away for the betterment of mankind.

Those crazy Canadians.

not in america though

Guys don't downvote Dana Meyer just because they didn't get a joke. Downvotes can cause people to get banned so save them for people who are actually being rude/annoying.

So you would rather let your friends die if they are diabetic and have not the money to pay for the insulin? That is unbelievable. Even more that six users have you an upvote.

same! i thought the countries started with Chile...

Me neither! I actually like the box one!

As a Brazilian, my first contact with the north American tally marks came from cartoons (usually when a character is counting how many days they have spent in jail lol). Other than that, I never saw someone using it here in real life

I never really thought others existed. Not sure why, because it's rather obvious there would be others. 🤦‍♀️

Yeah!

If I comprehend it, tally marks are the marks for counting drinks at a pub or counting things in general. (?)

France and Spain use both the left and middle design.

What? Yes they are. France and Spain are on the continent of Europe, plus part of the E.U.

Same, the way shown here seems mirrored to me!

I just like that we, Brazilians, have been magically removed from South America into our own category. France has also been removed from Europe, but I guess they do things differently than their fellow Europeans.

No. Zoo’s are careful not to cross breeds. It’s actually forbidden by law in a some countries to cross breed giraffes.

If i recall correctly, Dikembe, a giraffe at Denver Zoo (who was the oldest living giraffe at the time, died at 24) was a hybrid, although i don't believe he was 50/50. I *think* he was masai and reticulated. He sired a LOT of calves, the last was Dobby, who was only 4 ft tall at birth. Dobby is now full grown and healthy. But DZ normally has only reticulated. Source: me. I volunteered at the zoo for 9 years.

A giraffe at my zoo is a hybrid. Masai/Rothschild mix. And if I remember correctly these ranges are way less than they used to be and there used to be plenty of overlap which would have likely led yo natural hybrids.

Angolan and south Africa. Look at the chart, silly

Yes, but they forgot da Bears!

but it wouldn't be quiet 🙃

And they got the location of the wolf wrong! I live on the WEST coast, not the EAST coast! XD

And the horses are feral, not wild.

Actually, Canada has slightly more women than...oh, I see.

And Madagascar is cute!

Look up the history of the Spice Road. The Roman Republic/Empire and the Chinese empire knew of one another. Silk was highly prized, and really expensive, in Rome because of the distance it traveled. And all the traders between making their own profits off of it.

This is the difference between tea and chai (and their translations by language). Think "tea rhymes with sea," which is how it was shipped to the buyers.

Just asked my boyfriend, who is Chinese (he speaks Mandarin; his parents are immigrants from Taiwan) and he confirmed he would pronounce it "cha". I never really realized this either and I've dated him for 23 years XD
