30 Interesting Facts About The World Masterfully Crafted Into Visual Infographics

Amazing! Why did Romans switch everything in the other direction though?

The bottom few are the only acceptable ones on the list. Makes me embarrassed for Canada.

The date format is worse in Canada because it is supposed to be day/month/year but because of how much we trade with the US, you'll see a combination of the 2 formats being used. So fun trying to guess the date for the 1st-12th of the month

I wonder if OP has ever walked alone in a dark street under one of the "best" street lamps and hoped for her life that the next lamp would be working and then the next and then the next...

Well, we thank god the dragon flies are not tiger sized, dont we?!

Yeah we have a terrible system and its not likely to change anytime soon.

Poor Oscar "Unsinkable Sam" must have wondered why they kept bringing him back onto boats!

Seaports map looks so pleasant

Some Christians would disagree with you.

One thing they don't own is any kind of conscience, apparently...

Like Rose told Jack in Titanic, "Just start from the outside and work your way in".

Fun fact, a Swedish hydraulics company was until 2010 named Nike Hydraulics. The other Nike once tried to make them change, but couldnt do anything due to the fact that the Swedish company had that name since 1924.

For me '89 version. Others are very nice too but that one for the win.

Most large economies export their trash to these "highest polluters". The USA sold millions of tons of trash to the Philippines in 2020, most of which ends up in the ocean and the US doesn't have to take any responsibility for their own waste.

Journalist student here, I wasn't sure what I wanted and it was very diverse, also I always loved writing. Do I regret it? No, it was interesting and really fun adventure as we worked for local radio and did many fun projects. Was it useful for my future career? Also no xD

No surprise that the top 3 were or are run by sociopaths

I'm surprised Schindler's List isn't higher. Does this list account for inflation?

I miss the look of cars in the fifties- seventies. Not the pollution though. All those white, grey, black cars are so boring. Ours is bright blue and I never have problems to find it at the parking lot 😀

I make car paint and red is very expensive to make and white is the most inexpensive to make

I've never bought a new car, so other people are deciding this for me. I'd probably go for more unusual colors if I could.

Surprised red isn't more popular. Also surprised black is so popular. I can't imagine owning a black car here in Texas. It would get so hot inside one.

Silly gauge. Personally I've bought cars that were available.....and most of the options are black, white, gray & silver.... sooooo guess what colors I've always gotten. Betcha lots of folks are the very same.

Yellow cars look like they are make entirely from plastic.

I miss colorful cars, like we had in the 90s. People prefer neutral colored cars in difficult economic times, because they feel it will be easier to sell the car later if it's a neutral color.

Sometimes you dont have a choice when buying a car, especially if buying used. Yo take what you can get. To me colour is the last thing on the list.

Beige has to be wrong

I would love to have a purple car, but haven't seen any place that carries that color.

And the auto companies only offer Black and white and 15 shades of gray in between. And don't get me started on "Arctic White" and "Ivory" or "Black", "Onyx" or "Obsidian."

I only buy used cars and the last thing I look at is color, I just don't care. There are more important things to look for in a car.....and the one I chose happened to be white. But I had almost all sorts of colors in the cars I owned, black, maroon (alfa romeo in 1980), blue, beige, red, yellow.....

Don't know about the rest of the world, but here you have to pay extra if you want a colour that deviates from the manufacturers boring standard

If they did good green colors it would go up. OD green is ugly aa ia avo green.

They're 'popular' because they're the only colors offered. I guarantee if consumers could custom choose their color the graph would be different.

I'm finally a 1%er!!

We had a purple one once. I loved it.

I only buy white cars as I live in a hot, sunny climate. Try getting into a black car with black upholstery in Palm Springs or Phoenix after its been in the sun for a few hours

This chart is availability, you can only select from what the car makers choose.

I wouldn't call this the "most popular" list, I would call it "what they will give us as a choice these days" list.

I no longer drive but my wife's car is white.

Used to be able to get all kinds of colours, all so boring now in shades of white, grey, silver, black. My favourite was the purple Opel Corsa, not that I ever had one.

You can only buy cars in white, black, gray, red, and some shade of blue these days. I'd love a bright purple, teal, or chartreuse car. It would be so much easier to find it in the parking lot!

I'm very surprised at white. It looks dirty so fast, it's really surprising that it's so popular.

My sister's paranoid ex kept telling me he was being followed by the government because black vehicles were everywhere he looked. It was just easier to point them out while were driving

That's quite boring

I miss my yellow car.

Interesting that my first 2 cars were blue, then I moved "up" the scale exactly as shown and currently on black. Guess my next car is white?

Hey! Elvis isn't dead! He's retired and living the quiet life in Erie, Indiana.

This is across all brands though and Pepsi has a ton of brands that aren't Pepsi. Not just beverages like Mtn. Dew and Gatorade, but they own DORITOS and Frito Lay. They own Rice-A-Roni and Quaker Oats. They are a massive food conglomerate.

China's got the world gridlocked...joy.

The USA's national debt is $34 trillion, China's is $370.7 billion. So technically the USA is losing money and their main competitor is making a profit.

I think not many European named their newborn child Adolf after the 40s...

The implication seems to be that the helmet was invented in 600 CE. Did the Romans and Greeks wear tam-o'-shanters into battle, then?

Jynnan tonnyx. Other versions of the name include gee'N'N-T'N-ix, chinanto/mnigs, tzjin-anthony-ks, jinond-o-nicks and gin-and-tonics.
