45 Fun Geography Facts And Maps That May Teach You Something New About The World

How do you measure peaceful? Germany is considered peacefuller as Spain and France

That's around 7 billion more than nature intended...up to around 1900 the world's population was a steady 1 billion with a natural birth and death rate maintaining the status quo. As we have improved medicine and introduced antibiotics we have sidestepped natural selection and increased numbers beyond what is sustainable for the planet. We no longer have the checks and balances evolution put in place. That combined with the Abrahamic philosophy that 'All life is sacred' has fücked us royally.

I'm with the Spanish and British here. Take a nap and make tea. Problems might still be there, but I'll face them well rested and with a cuppa.

You can drink tap water in at least 3 more Balkan countries.

You can drink tap water in Chile.

Lol USA unfriendly to Russia? Have you watched the news in the last decade?

I filter my water for flouride in canada. so its not really true that water is drinkable because it has toxins in it but people have to drink it anyway.

This is funny.

I've lived in 2 of these countries and in both most of us choose not to drink tap water whenever possible, we prefer to waste our money on the bottled stuff

Like I care what Russians think. Sub-humans.

Poland doesn't discriminate against a drink

Oh this is RAMpant!

Remember when the Mongols ruled China.... never underestimate Mongolia! ;-)

and where is New Zealand?

So oil makes you fat 😁

Interesting. It is the poorer end of Italy and the one attacked the most by invaders back in the day.

Of course Finland is the most metal 😆. Disappointed that neither France nor Germany have Baker at the top.

That bottom picture is by Tatsuya Tanaka. His IG page (and exhibitions) are really great. You're welcome. https://www.instagram.com/p/By3pt3Bjv71/?hl=en

So basically Egypt bordering the Nile, and Morocco.

It looks like the world is bleeding of overpopulation.

And swim a bit at the start

Yea, we get it. 4 maps already for this.

northern Italy is the benchmark? Then again, why not?

subways, aka, underground rail. Many cities have above ground transit, incuding trains. Many areas dont have underground bc of a variety of reasons

People care way to much about ancestry & DNA

Brings a whole new meaning to kiss my aṣs.

I don't understand this one, can someone please explain

France has a lot of overseas territories, and French Guina borders with Brazil

Mostly surprised about Italy. Didn't think it could get that cold

New Zealand would like to know why it's been moved into the Southern Indian Ocean?

My first question about North Korea wouldn't be why it's it so cold ...

I assume Portugal and Cyprus have large populations of Balkan immigrants.

Mmmm pie...

US Bases in Europe are a direct consequence of the second world war, where economic help with the Marshal Plan, was connected by having more influence on defense (at the time, more focused against facism, instead of communism)

Natural borders?

Why?

A realistic styled Roman copy of a Greek statue of a dying Galatian man vs the highly stylised Mšecké Žehrovice Head, a Czech Celtic artwork. BS meme is BS.

Maybe in English.

I'm surprised at the result for the UK, I'd have thought it would be a close run thing between Beer and Spirits for us

Loving the attitude of Australia

So no goes out to k**l because their internet is so slow they have to wait

Nope, another false map. This map isn't drawn off of actual ancestry, it's drawn from surnames. Surnames in the US are almost meaningless to identify where someone is from. When Europeans came through Ellis Island, if their name was unspellable or unintelligible to the person who was admitting them to the country, their surname would be changed to something "common" that was easier to spell or say. We call these Ellis Island names. My surname is very British. No one in my family came close to ever being in the UK at any point in time. But there you go.

Sister in law told me there needs to be prayer in Michigan schools.."Oh, so you're ok with kids in Dearborn praying to Allah".."NO!".."But that's how it would work"..

OK, maybe because I'm lying down but this one flew right over my head :p

I don’t agree with this at all. The people in Minnesota are the nicest people I ever met.

why is there a neo-n**i caracture of a jew? In fact the most common one in Neo-N**i and alt-right circles here?

Trust me, nobody wants Belgium.

I think this map is full of sh‍it.

Not a clue.

Disconcerted by how well it's pretending... Sure this isn't real?

I have no clue what this i supposed to be saying.
