Honduras has a city named Yoro where once a year, fishes fall from the sky (supposedly). There has been many theories and many investigations led by many americans that had gone there.

Canadian bagged milk is good since you just put it in this little holder for the bag that has a handle then you cut a hole into its cornor / tip so you can simply pour without needing to open anything or close anything (just keep it in the fridge)
here're some more silly/fun/cool(?) facts about Canada becuase I'm bored and Canadian: 1. Canada is home to more lakes than the rest of the world combined. There are around 31,752 lakes larger than 3 km squared, of those 561 lakes have a surface area larger than 100 km squared, and there is no official estimate for how many small lakes are in the country. 2. Almost 9% (891,163 square km) of Canada's total area is covered by freshwater. Canada holds 20% of the world's surface freshwater and 7% of the world's renewable water flow (despite this, about 618/630+ indigenous communities don't have access to clean drinking water). 3. British Columbia has a rainforest, a desert (technically), some dormant volcanos, and a few mountain ranges. 4. It would take about 20 hours to drive from the bottom of Ontario to the top 5. The state of California has more people than the entire country of Canada, even though Canada is (geographically) bigger than America. (9,970,610 square kilometres, and ~40 million people). 6. Canada used to have a official Rhinoceros Party (Parti Rhinocéros Party alternatively) with such policies/campaigns as: - Rather than patriate the constitution by bringing it to Canada, as proposed by Pierre Trudeau, the Rhinoceros Party pledged to bring Great Britain home and make it Canada's eleventh province. - Rather than awarding money as prizes in the lottery, the winners would be appointed to the Senate of Canada. - Building one nuclear power plant per household, including monthly distributions of lead underwear to Canadians. Indoor lighting would then be provided by radioactive citizens. - Repealing the law of gravity - Providing higher education by building taller schools - Tearing down the Rocky Mountains so that Albertans could see the Pacific sunset - Eliminating unemployment by abolishing Statistics Canada, thereby eliminating the bureaucrats that measure unemployment - Abolishing the environment because it's too hard to keep clean and it takes up so much space - Ending crime by abolishing all laws - To provide more parking in the Maritimes by paving the Bay of Fundy, and to create the world's largest parking by paving the province of Manitoba - Making the Canadian climate more temperate by tapping into the natural resource of hot air in Ottawa - Storing nuclear waste in the Senate: "After all, we've been storing political waste there for years' - Selling the Senate of Canada at an antique auction in California - Putting the national debt on Visa - Banning guns and butter; because both kill - Donating a free rhinoceros to every aspiring artist in Canada - Abolish lawn mowing in Outremont, Quebec - Tax the black market - Mandate archeologists to discover if remains of roads actually exist under Montreal potholes Funny stories: - Declared war on Belgium because a Belgian cartoon character, Tintin, killed a rhinoceros in one of the cartoons. They then offered to call off the proposed Belgium-Canada war if Belgium delivered a case of mussels and a case of Belgian beer to Rhinoceros "Hindquarters" in Montreal (the Belgian Embassy in Ottawa did, in fact, do this). - The Rhinoceros Party never succeeded in winning a seat in the House of Commons. In the 1984 federal election, however, the party won the fourth-largest number of votes, after the three main political parties, coming before the Conservative party. Rhino candidates sometimes came in second in certain ridings, humiliating traditional Canadian parties in the process. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lakes_of_Canada#:~:text=Canada%20has%20an%20extremely%20large,four%20of%20the%20Great%20Lakes. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11-402-x/2011000/chap/env/env-eng.htm www.theindigenousfoundation.org/articles/indigenous-safe-drinking-water-crisis-in-canada-overview#:~:text=Did%20you%20know%20that%20many,supplied%20with%20safe%20drinking%20water. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinoceros_Party

no actually the liver isnt the organ of love in morroco its just a cute little metaphor we use when describing how much we love someone "I love u so much you might as well be my liver" because the liver is always literally by your side and its a vital organ for your well being!!
to be fair, that's the exact same way we use the heart to mean love (at least today) it's just a metaphor, not literally believed to be "the love organ"
@@serenitywingss the difference is you can't say that you love someone with your liver you just say that they're your liver and you can't do the same thing with the heart
In Persian to say we love someon we call them liver like « oh my liver we love you » or we also say « I will eat your liver » I know it sounds weird in english but its endearment terms😂
@@Alexander137_FRLT What? Samoa is totally a country. There is nothing about it that makes it a part of New Zealand. The UN has recognized Samoa since 1976. An independent state is a country.
Also a little fun fact about the Netherlands, we say our numbers backwards Like 45 is "forty five" In the Netherlands its "five and forty" (yes, including the "and") saying 1945 is "19 5 and 40" Absolutely awfull when also speaking english and switching back and forth 🎉
Fun fact: there’s a South American country in Europe. It’s called France (via French Guiana). That’s right French Guiana and France are one and the same as Alaska, Hawai’i are to the United States of America.

fun fact the word kangaroo actually means i dont know in some local australian language. when the british first arrived at australia they saw a kangaroo and asked the natives what is this animal. they said kangaroo because they didnt understand english
Yeah, reminds me of the name Canada. When French arrived, they asked what the area was called and where they were going, and an indigenous group, not quite understanding what they were saying, pointed and said: "Kanata", or "Home". So, Canada means home.

We have bagged milk in Argentina too. I don't know why it's such a wild concept for people from the US, it's really practical and makes the packaging cheaper thus decreasing the price of milk overall.

Here in Uruguay people usually have a second small house near the coast, specially on the east of the country, so they can spend the weekends there, go to the beach and relax. When you are there you forget about the rest of the world to simply enjoy the moment, with family, friends, or alone. The name gives them a more personal feeling than just the number that your normal house has, it's like the house is your friend.
9:25 No, New Zealand does not own Samoa. The islands that make up the nation of Samoa (as opposed to the American Samoa portion) became politically independent in the early 1960s. The country has close economic ties with New Zealand. In fact, the Samoan Prime Minister in the 1980s had an office in New Zealand, as well as their main office in Apia, the capital of Samoa. But Samoa is an independent country.
12:05 okay hold on there, let me correct this as a Turk. Eating any regular meat for dessert is not common, it’s just that there is a small amount of chicken breast inside Tavuk Göğsü. The desserts name directly translates to “Chicken Breast”. Also, you totally butchered the pronounciation but this just comes with having English as your native language ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I remember visiting Monaco for a school trip. There was a guy who killed the engine of his Lambo so he ordered someone to drive another one to his location while the previous was getting towed away.
1:46 this is a Hungarian tradition, Slovakia itself is half-Czech half-Hungarian land and her only history is the 31 years that she has been independent from Czechia
Yeah, it's very weird that they got the obscure hungarian tradition and we got fcking Rubik who is the single hungarian people know about, even if it's just the name of the cube. Like, I'm pretty sure there's some interesting geographical or cultural fact from the 30 years of slovakia existing, I don't know why they have to pretend they have their completely own history going back to the middle ages.
As a Canadian, bagged milk is good because 1 full bag has 3 mini bags of milk inside, and depending where you go, it could have the same price as the USA's cartoned milk. More milk, for the same price.
Thank you SO MUCH for separating the UK into the four countries! I, a German, didn’t know what to expect for Germany. Maybe a Nazi thing, maybe something about our cars or fridges or parliament, maybe that our numbers out said backwards, meaning 11 and 12 have their “own” words and 23 being three and twenty, maybe that cannabis is legal here as of the first one f April 2024. But OF COURSE it was that we have no speed limits.
I appreciate the comment. I get a lot of people saying "oh of COURSE it's (fact)" but you have to imagine that people not native to the country may not have heard of the fact! Me, as an ignorant American, didn't know that about the Autobahn, so I thought it was interesting!
More interesting fact about Liechtenstein. They use the same anthem tune as the UK. They also have double the number of political parties the US has, at 4, despite being a micronation. Their names are also very funny.
I did not just watch 27min, patiently waiting for South Africa. And out of ALL the things we have, Cum Books?🤣 I was not expecting that.. Yeah we also don't know why it was called that.
yeah, we are technically allowed to drive over 400mph here, as long as there are no construction sides taking forever, traffic ajms, or anythign else. So, yeah, theoretically. ALso, took me like 10 years to get adapted to the language
1:40 Looks like speed... It is speed. Except that between the benzyl and amine there is a ketone group (C=O) instead of a methylene group (CH2). And you say it is a stimulant? That tracks. Probs, the ketone reduces binding affinity making it "mild". Oversimplification but I'll take it!

Probably a lot of Caribbeans were looking forward to hearing a funny fact about their nation only to be reminded of genocide. Just a small suggestion in case you ever make this video again. It was a fantastic video though and I smiled when I heard the fact about my country (South Africa), because CUM books is literally unavoidable and the store’s employees are usually like, aggressively Christian which just makes it funnier.

I'm more surprised about how strict Singapore. I kind of wish my country the United States took laws that seriously.. here you could 1 get away with shooting heroin in broad daylight while taking a poop on the street and mugging a old lady
I'm surprised the Vanuatu bit wasn't about their religions. I think they have 5 of the 10 weirdest religions on Earth. Including, among others, Cargo Cults and Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburg.

here're some more silly/fun/cool(?) facts about Canada becuase I'm bored and Canadian:
1. Canada is home to more lakes than the rest of the world combined. There are around 31,752 lakes larger than 3 km squared, of those 561 lakes have a surface area larger than 100 km squared, and there is no official estimate for how many small lakes are in the country.
2. Almost 9% (891,163 square km) of Canada's total area is covered by freshwater. Canada holds 20% of the world's surface freshwater and 7% of the world's renewable water flow (despite this, about 618/630+ indigenous communities don't have access to clean drinking water).
3. British Columbia has a rainforest, a desert (technically), some dormant volcanos, and a few mountain ranges.
4. It would take about 20 hours to drive from the bottom of Ontario to the top
5. The state of California has more people than the entire country of Canada, even though Canada is (geographically) bigger than America. (9,970,610 square kilometres, and ~40 million people).
6. Canada used to have a official Rhinoceros Party (Parti Rhinocéros Party alternatively) with such policies/campaigns as:
- Rather than patriate the constitution by bringing it to Canada, as proposed by Pierre Trudeau, the Rhinoceros Party pledged to bring Great Britain home and make it Canada's eleventh province.
- Rather than awarding money as prizes in the lottery, the winners would be appointed to the Senate of Canada.
- Building one nuclear power plant per household, including monthly distributions of lead underwear to Canadians. Indoor lighting would then be provided by radioactive citizens.
- Repealing the law of gravity
- Providing higher education by building taller schools
- Tearing down the Rocky Mountains so that Albertans could see the Pacific sunset
- Eliminating unemployment by abolishing Statistics Canada, thereby eliminating the bureaucrats that measure unemployment
- Abolishing the environment because it's too hard to keep clean and it takes up so much space
- Ending crime by abolishing all laws
- To provide more parking in the Maritimes by paving the Bay of Fundy, and to create the world's largest parking by paving the province of Manitoba
- Making the Canadian climate more temperate by tapping into the natural resource of hot air in Ottawa
- Storing nuclear waste in the Senate: "After all, we've been storing political waste there for years'
- Selling the Senate of Canada at an antique auction in California
- Putting the national debt on Visa
- Banning guns and butter; because both kill
- Donating a free rhinoceros to every aspiring artist in Canada
- Abolish lawn mowing in Outremont, Quebec
- Tax the black market
- Mandate archeologists to discover if remains of roads actually exist under Montreal potholes
Funny stories:
- Declared war on Belgium because a Belgian cartoon character, Tintin, killed a rhinoceros in one of the cartoons. They then offered to call off the proposed Belgium-Canada war if Belgium delivered a case of mussels and a case of Belgian beer to Rhinoceros "Hindquarters" in Montreal (the Belgian Embassy in Ottawa did, in fact, do this).
- The Rhinoceros Party never succeeded in winning a seat in the House of Commons. In the 1984 federal election, however, the party won the fourth-largest number of votes, after the three main political parties, coming before the Conservative party. Rhino candidates sometimes came in second in certain ridings, humiliating traditional Canadian parties in the process.

As a Guyanese i can confirm. Its like u spawn in a Jungle biome and while traveling u find a Savannah and mountain biome encapsulated by the Jungle.
As a person who has been to Guyana many times, I can confirm that
Guyana is a vanilla Minecraft world
China is a modded Minecraft world
You would only really find that in pre-caves and cliffs. I found crazy stuff all the time back then, like I loaded up a world only to find myself inside a massive valley surrounded by mountains, making it the perfect spot to build a nation that would undergo several civil wars, as is standard tradition for a new world

no actually the liver isnt the organ of love in morroco its just a cute little metaphor we use when describing how much we love someone "I love u so much you might as well be my liver" because the liver is always literally by your side and its a vital organ for your well being!!
to be fair, that's the exact same way we use the heart to mean love (at least today) it's just a metaphor, not literally believed to be "the love organ"
@@serenitywingss the difference is you can't say that you love someone with your liver you just say that they're your liver and you can't do the same thing with the heart
In Persian to say we love someon we call them liver like « oh my liver we love you » or we also say « I will eat your liver » I know it sounds weird in english but its endearment terms😂

Also a little fun fact about the Netherlands, we say our numbers backwards
Like 45 is "forty five"
In the Netherlands its "five and forty" (yes, including the "and")
saying 1945 is "19 5 and 40"
Absolutely awfull when also speaking english and switching back and forth 🎉

9:17 "A South American country in South America"
Quote of the year
Fun fact: there’s a South American country in Europe. It’s called France (via French Guiana). That’s right French Guiana and France are one and the same as Alaska, Hawai’i are to the United States of America.
@@keithjohnson3534 that is actually not true. French Guinea is a territory, not mainland. While France does own French Guinea, it is more like Puerto Rico or the Philippines
is it just me or some facts r inaccurate?
What a masterpiece. Very surprised about France, and btw i love the accent you did for Columbia.
I try to add some flair
4:40 in ireland, there are 2 sets of tests called the junior cert and leaving cert, if youre caught cheating on these, the examiner can choose to ban you from all government exams (junior cert, leaving cert, driving test etc) from 3 to 10 years

the word kangaroo actually means i dont know in some local australian language. when the british first arrived at australia they saw a kangaroo and asked the natives what is this animal. they said kangaroo because they didnt understand english
"some local australian language" 💀💀
@@towtruckoperator Bruh, how do you describe ungumba or something to the average persom
@@thegamebirb Aboriginal language ig?
Yeah, reminds me of the name Canada. When French arrived, they asked what the area was called and where they were going, and an indigenous group, not quite understanding what they were saying, pointed and said: "Kanata", or "Home". So, Canada means home.
Isn't that just a myth or did the movie 'Arrival' lied to me that it was just a myth?
I love the snail at the top of the screen. I've just realized that it moves with the time marker. Nice. Also, I didn't know about the Church of Maradona, but people in this country can be weird (and sometimes dangerous), specially soccer fans.
We have bagged milk in Argentina too. I don't know why it's such a wild concept for people from the US, it's really practical and makes the packaging cheaper thus decreasing the price of milk overall.
Same
Why is weird to other countries?
@@KartingRules Because we grew up on bottles and cartons. Just live with the differences
Up until some 20 years ago it was the predominant packaging in Brazil too, but now it's as good as extinct.
bagged milk is common in South Asia too
As a Canadian, I have never once seen bagged milk. It isn't very common. No one I have ever met uses bagged milk.
I am very happy to see Guyana represented, a lot of videos like this I see have it skipped. Thank you.

i do what i can.
I'm a Finn and I've never heard of this about Finland 🤨 I was expecting to hear the usual "there are more saunas than cars in Finland", but nope. a day to celebrate failure, guess it hasn't picked much traction, so I guess that has failed in it's mission🙄
Im Croatian and my parents always tell me not go outside with even humid hair or ill get sick, the sun just dries my hair faster (i follow this rule now bc i live in Norway 💀)
Italians have the same belief. Wouldn’t dream to go out with wet hair, you might catch your death!
Here in Uruguay people usually have a second small house near the coast, specially on the east of the country, so they can spend the weekends there, go to the beach and relax. When you are there you forget about the rest of the world to simply enjoy the moment, with family, friends, or alone. The name gives them a more personal feeling than just the number that your normal house has, it's like the house is your friend.
That sounds like something I wish I could do. Uruguay has it figured out.
finnish people do the same! but no fun names :(
@@ChatHistoryI'm surprised there was no "Ur gay" joke or smth lmao
Uruguay is also known as an non-official Province from Argentina.
(No se enojen que los queremos)
We have the same thing in Finland except that we just have a general term called "mökki" and it is only used during summer.
6:31 This is wrong sharia law is strictly against anything outside of marriage but yes 4 wives is allowed for men under the right conditions.
Fun fact: Namibia's "Kolmanskop" is the inspiration behind "The Slow Rush" album cover by Tame Impala.
9:25 No, New Zealand does not own Samoa. The islands that make up the nation of Samoa (as opposed to the American Samoa portion) became politically independent in the early 1960s. The country has close economic ties with New Zealand. In fact, the Samoan Prime Minister in the 1980s had an office in New Zealand, as well as their main office in Apia, the capital of Samoa. But Samoa is an independent country.
12:05 okay hold on there, let me correct this as a Turk. Eating any regular meat for dessert is not common, it’s just that there is a small amount of chicken breast inside Tavuk Göğsü. The desserts name directly translates to “Chicken Breast”. Also, you totally butchered the pronounciation but this just comes with having English as your native language ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I remember visiting Monaco for a school trip.
There was a guy who killed the engine of his Lambo so he ordered someone to drive another one to his location while the previous was getting towed away.

this is a Hungarian tradition, Slovakia itself is half-Czech half-Hungarian land and her only history is the 31 years that she has been independent from Czechia
Yeah, it's very weird that they got the obscure hungarian tradition and we got fcking Rubik who is the single hungarian people know about, even if it's just the name of the cube. Like, I'm pretty sure there's some interesting geographical or cultural fact from the 30 years of slovakia existing, I don't know why they have to pretend they have their completely own history going back to the middle ages.

As a Canadian, bagged milk is good because 1 full bag has 3 mini bags of milk inside, and depending where you go, it could have the same price as the USA's cartoned milk. More milk, for the same price.
Still considered weird by most countries
even as a grocer I wouldn't know where to buy bagged milk...
As a Canadian, I have never met another Canadian who has used bagged milk
Thank you SO MUCH for separating the UK into the four countries!
I, a German, didn’t know what to expect for Germany. Maybe a Nazi thing, maybe something about our cars or fridges or parliament, maybe that our numbers out said backwards, meaning 11 and 12 have their “own” words and 23 being three and twenty, maybe that cannabis is legal here as of the first one f April 2024. But OF COURSE it was that we have no speed limits.
I appreciate the comment. I get a lot of people saying "oh of COURSE it's (fact)" but you have to imagine that people not native to the country may not have heard of the fact! Me, as an ignorant American, didn't know that about the Autobahn, so I thought it was interesting!
as an egyptian, i can confirm that we used specially trained baboons to arrest criminals back in 2000 BC
In Russia we have milk in bags too. In Kyrgyztan they use plastick bottles which i think is better for ecology because everyone reuses those bottles
More interesting fact about Liechtenstein. They use the same anthem tune as the UK.
They also have double the number of political parties the US has, at 4, despite being a micronation.
Their names are also very funny.
I did not just watch 27min, patiently waiting for South Africa. And out of ALL the things we have, Cum Books?🤣 I was not expecting that.. Yeah we also don't know why it was called that.

It is speed. Except that between the benzyl and amine there is a ketone group (C=O) instead of a methylene group (CH2). And you say it is a stimulant? That tracks. Probs, the ketone reduces binding affinity making it "mild". Oversimplification but I'll take it!

@@ChatHistoryI think you should’ve put it in the “bad stuff” video instead. Probably a lot of Caribbeans were looking forward to hearing a funny fact about their nation only to be reminded of genocide. Just a small suggestion in case you ever make this video again. It was a fantastic video though and I smiled when I heard the fact about my country (South Africa), because CUM books is literally unavoidable and the store’s employees are usually like, aggressively Christian which just makes it funnier. Underrated channel. Please don’t take this as an insult, it’s just a minor criticism
As a Filipino, honestly the "we have weird food" trivia is kinda boring imo, so lemme share a fact that's unique to us.
The Philippines is the only country in the world without divorce laws. Ofc there's the Vatican but that's a city-state.
The skeleton lakes people at 15:40 aren't all from the same time, there's videos explaining some are actually much more recent, I think there's a video by minimimuteman explaining it
