thank you meme man
I love the memes where it's "You don't know how big (blank) really is." And then it's just a bunch of countries and continents scaled down to fit
Yes
my pp (filled in the blank)
most of the real ones are scaled down to fit to represent their actual size. You cannot fit an accurate map and shape of all countries and continents on a flat, rectangular surface when they’re on a sphere, it’s not possible. Greenland for example is truly a lot smaller, and Africa truly is 14x larger than it. The reason it appears so big is because of the “mercator effect”. The surface of the Earth is spherical, so the closer your get to the poles, the smaller the surface area is, such as the North and South pole, and the equator has the largest surface area. Russia can actually entirely fit into Africa, but on a flat map you will never be able to tell because Russia is closer to the poles than Africa. In other words, the places near the equator on a flat map are pretty much true to scale, but the higher or lower up or down the map you go, the more distorted the other places get and the larger they appear. To truly compare, you need to scale them down to actually fit. Some are completely fake though, but the one demonstrating the size of Greenland to Africa is very true.
@@tylersaurus4702 i learnt this with Vsauce
Africa is larger than 100000 light years and also America is larger than the earth and the Milky Way galaxy is twice the size of earth
why we call it *mother earth* and not *father earth* is:
1. because of the Mariana Trench
2. because it got *curves*
3. because of mount everest and mount fuji
4. because of the amazon forest.
now, it is possible you may not understand it, because it takes an advanced sense of knowledge and humor to understand this. If you did, you are an elevated being and must confirm your presence by liking this post. lol thanks for reading this far.

wait why the amazon rainforest i got all the others

The "popcorn rocks" on that beach in the Canary Islands are actually algae fossils! They're marine algae called rhodoliths and although initially red in color, they turn white over time. The waves push them ashore, also giving them their unique shape. This natural phenomenon can be observed in other beaches too, but Popcorn Beach in Fuerteventura is one of the most impressive! Evian isn't meant to be naive backwards, the name comes from the springs of Évian-Les-Bains in France which is the source of their mineral water on the south shore of Lake Geneva. Évian-Les-Bains is known as an elite spa town and has been visited by royals including as Kings Edward VII and George V of the United Kingdom and King Farouk of Egypt.
The Treaty of 1818 was the treaty that the now US-Canada border extended westward along the 49th parallel, from the Northwest Angle at Lake of the Woods to the Rockies, but the Oregon Country was still disputed, and the 49th parallel being the boundary the rest of the way to the Pacific wasn't agreed upon until the Oregon Treaty of 1846. However, this treaty's wording led to the bloodless Pig War (it was triggered by shooting a pig) over a dispute of the San Juan Islands in 1859, which the islands were awarded to the US to end the dispute that year. Little did the treaty people also know that this 49th Parallel boundary led to what became Point Roberts, Washington on the "wrong" side of the border, a peninsula jutting south from Canada into Boundary Bay. The only way to get to Point Roberts by car from the rest of the US is through Canada. When the border was closed to non-essential travel in 2020, there was a temporary ferry service to the rest of Washington. There is only a primary school in Point Roberts, so for students from 4th grade onward, they have to drive through Canada to re-enter Washington in Blaine
To explain how the Kingdom of Hawaii was annexed into the US: Hawaii was mostly conquered by Kamehameha I in 1795 and with peaceful unification with Kaua'i, it unified completely as one kingdom in 1810. The kingdom remained independent until American and European businessmen overthrew the monarchy of Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893 and formed the Republic of Hawaii because sugar plantation owners wanted more power. Pro-American business interests had overthrown the Queen when she rejected constitutional limits on her powers. They believed a coup and annexation by the United States would remove the threat of a devastating tariff on their sugar Sanford B. Dole was Hawaii's president, whose cousin James Dole founded Hawaiian Pineapple Company, now Dole. In 1898, the Republic of Hawaii was annexed by the US as a territory, with Dole being its first territorial governor, and of course Hawaii eventually became a state in 1959.
The sounds of the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883 were estimated to be 310 dB SPL! It was heard 3,110 kilometers (1,930 mi) away in Perth, Australia, and Rodrigues near Mauritius, 4,800 kilometers (3,000 mi) away! The eruption was a 6 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, but there have been eruptions more powerful than that! In 946 CE, Mount Paektu on the China-DPRK border was a 7 on the VEI! The eruption, whose tephra has been found in the southern part of Hokkaidō, Japan, and as far away as Greenland, destroyed much of the volcano's summit, leaving a caldera that today is filled by Heaven Lake! An average of about 5 cm of Plinian ashfall and Coignimbrite ashfall covered about 580,000 sq. miles all the way to Japan! An emperor was so alarmed by the devastation that he set all his convicts free. The mountain has been considered sacred by Koreans throughout history. Many kingdoms of Korea such as Buyeo, Goguryeo, Balhae, Goryeo, and Joseon worshipped the mountain!
The island at 0:17 is near new caledonia, east of new caledonia west of ouvea

Bosnia and Herzegovina actually has a small 20-kilometer/12-mile-long coastline called Neum, so it's wrong when people say it's land-locked like the Bosnia "I wanna swim" meme! The Neum corridor dates back to the Treaty of Karlowitz of 1699, whereby the Republic of Ragusa was separated from the Dalmatian possessions of its rival Venice by two buffer zones ceded by Ragusa to the Ottoman Empire to prevent the possibility of Venice invading via land. The Karlowitz borders were reaffirmed in 1718 by the Treaty of Passarowitz, but then the Ottomans, tired of negotiating in vain with Venice for a widening of their maritime access, simply usurped the territory of Gornji Klek and most of Klek from Ragusa, which it had bought from King Dabiša of Bosnia at the end of the 14th century.
After the fall of the Republic of Venice in 1797, and the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Austrian Empire, which had annexed both the Dalmatian possessions of Venice and the territory of Ragusa, tried to buy back the Neum and Sutorina enclaves from the Ottomans, but in vain. Instead, it stationed a warship to block access to the port of Neum until the Treaty of Berlin, which gave the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Austria-Hungary in 1878. When Bosnia became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the government ignored the borders it inherited and Neum became part of the Littoral Banovina and Banovina of Croatia. But under the socialist government, it became part of Bosnia again. Thus cutting off the southernmost Croatian exclave from the rest of Croatia. However the Pelješac Bridge which opened in 2022 helped make it easier for Croats to reach the rest of Croatia by not having to enter Bosnia & Herzegovina.
3:21 Bosnia and Herzegovina does actually have a tiny coastline
My favourite obviously wrong, but very amusing (to me) theory is that Bosnians are the _Sea People_ and Croatia is doing its best "Spiderman on front of the train" thing.
Just yoinking all the coastline and building low bridges over the only way to get to the sea from Bosnia.
Yes, that Dingo Fence is real. It stretches for 5,614 km or 3,488 miles to keep dingoes out of the relatively fertile southeast part of the continent where the majority of Australians live (like Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, etc) and protect the sheep flocks of southern Queensland. It used to be over 8,000 km long, but because they didn't want the extinction of the dingo and wild-dog cross-breeds, poisoning them with compound 1080 (sodium monofluoroacetate) baits was preferable and cheaper than fence maintenance. A compromise in the form of the continued use of poison and the shortening of the fence from its previous length of over 8000 km has been made. The fence has actually helped kangaroos and emus as the fence protects the ones south of the fence from the dingos.
And Alaska is indeed a pretty huge state, it has a land area of 571,951 square miles or over 1,481,300 square km, and a total area of 665,384 square miles, or over 1,723,300 square km! It has more total area than the next three largest states of Texas, California and Montana COMBINED! And the US bought all that land from the Russians in 1867 for 7.2 million US Dollars (which was equivalent to $157 million in 2023). But here's the thing, the Russians almost sold it to LIECHTENSTEIN! Liechtenstein was once a member of the Holy Alliance, in which the Austrians, Prussians, and Russians guaranteed Liechtenstein's sovereignty in 1815. In 1867, Alexander II of Russia had offered Johann II, Prince of Liechtenstein to purchase Russian Alaska, but he refused as he believed the territory was useless! I know, it's a wild story that may be too wild to be true, but in 2018, the Prince of Liechtenstein Hans-Adam II did confirm it!
Wow!
I totally forgot that Africa took on minimal pandemic damage as a whole despite most countries being unprepared and at least two officially denying Covid19's existence entirely.
Some countries still got hit hard but overall It seems the hotter climate helped, maybe people had better habits prepped out from other diseases? I wonder if anyone made a study on that yet. 🤔
@flyingstonemon3564 I'd love to see a proper study sometime, those are all good points.
2:19 They fit together because all of the continents used to be together in one supercontinent named Pangea but it broke over time and that is grade 8 geology for you

European countries are much more dense when it comes to regions though. Yeah, the US is big. Let's compare Rhode Island and Noord Holland, which according to that true size website are roughly the same size. The Wikipedia page of Noord Holland (On the Dutch wiki of course) has at least 9 different dialects. Not counting subdialects or whatever.
From what I've found Rhode Island doesn't even have their own exclusive subdialect. Sharing Southeastern New England English with a couple other places.
Nothing wrong with this, but just realize that a distance of a couple kilometers makes a lot more difference in Europe then America. The cultural differences you get between states, we've managed to compact in an area smaller then your smallest state.
Mind you, the difference is fading. You can easily cycle, ride a train or drive from one place to the next nowadays, so there isn't as much difference as there used to. We (the Netherlands) aren't seen as a confederation anymore. But it's not anywhere close to how homogeneous it is in the US. If I go two hours east I'm in a different country, which speaks a different tongue. At least we use the same currency and don't have border control nowadays.
Some of you people seem to drive for two hours simply to get across town! I get carsick even thinking about that, 2 hours is my limit!

0:09 if you're confused, there's this region called "Memel" that's currently in Lithuania. So I guess they put "Memel" and mistakenly typed "and", causing "Memeland"

3:20 - 3:22 well technically Bosnians can still swim since they have a small border with the sea tho it is surrounded by Croatia
if you don't believe me look closely to the Bosnia and Croatia border at the bottom of the picture and you will see that Croatia for some reason cuts off then there is a bit of Bosnia and then Croatia continues again.
it's pretty easy to miss if you don't really look at it that closely. tho tbh for some reason small details in images are almost always really obvious to me.

american here, one thing i just want to comment from some quick searching on google, yes the US is like 50x larger than england, england has a larger population than ANY US STATE. so the UK is smaller, but a LOT more dense, having 5x the population density of the state with the highest population density. if we include US territories, the only one that beats it for population density is washington DC, the US capital.
