In Turkey because everyone drinks tea they just give it to you without asking. People drink so much tea that you can drink tea in a hairdresser. Tea is like water in Turkey. You just drink it every day.
Oh so it’s like the South with Sweet Tea. I’m starting to Motive stuff about tea that is just, “why do you drink that much.” International Tea Association anyone?
I normally don't drink tea (not that it is terrible, like coffee is). But it was the polite thing to do when I visited Turkey. As the saying goes, "When in Rome...."
There are strong mathematical reasons for A4 papers. "A standard" serie is made so, that every time you cut in half a paper the ratio of the sides is the same (golden ratio) AND the first one A0 has a square meter surface
I had to us tje US Letter one time it was horrible. And get your stuff on an paper of an other size is a pain in the .... I'm really happy to live in the DIN A world
The ratio with the serie of A1,2,3,4,.. is √2 that ratio is kept when we cut the page in half . The golden ratio is (1+√5)/2 and become(√5-1) when we cut it in half.
Looking it up, the standard margins of a letter size paper is 25.4 mm, so if you set the margins of the A4 to 22.45 mm instead, you will be able to fit the content of a letter size paper inside the A4 paper, and having additional height to work with if you want. So you can easily move over to A4 size.

It's more about Portuguese ancestry. Keep in mind that this doesn't necessarily reflects phenotype. For example: my state (Piauí) is listed as having predominant native and african ancestry, while Bahia is listed as predominantly Portuguese. When it comes to population, though, Bahia is the most african influenced state in Brazil, both in population and culture. Still a cool map that I had never seen before 😁
Fun fact: Portugal was a main importer of tea to Europe but never developed a serious habit of drinking it. It was more like a high society snob thing. When Catarina de Bragança married the King of England in 1662 she brought with her the habit to have tea in the afternoon. British nobility loved all those exquisite Asian porcelain and etiquette. It became a hit in all Britain's high society and still is verifiable in 2021.
I was going to say I found the outlet map the most useful. But as an Australian I think the last one is most important, particularly after the bushfires wiped out so many native animals last year. Hopefully the map is still true.
The dots on the lactose maps is not where they “conducted studies”, but where localised “pockets” of lactose tolerance are found in regions otherwise intolerant to lactose. Typically among herders ethnic groups who raise cattle, and co-evolve the ability to digest milk even through adulthood as it provided an evolutionary advantage as an additional food rich in nutrients. In Northern Europe, milk provided a different evolution advantage as a source of vitamin D in latitudes where there’s not enough sunshine for most of the year to produce it that way...
Technically milk is not a source of vitamin D, but rather it contains calcium which helps absorb vitamin D. This means you don't need as much sunlight to absorb the same amount of vitamin D.

As someone who resides in central Wisconsin, the majority of people in this part of the country have Polish heritage. We even have the polish heritage highway. I have met a number of Polish immigrants fishing the Wisconsin river as well, they’re some of the nicest/ friendly people.
Basically Chicago is the Polish capital of the US. Any areas around Chicago has large Polish communities. Wisconsin has the biggest cities close to Chicago so naturally a lot of Poles are also there. Northern Indiana to the east of Chicago also has a lot of Polish people. It's a much less populous area than southern Wisconsin though.

210-240 Volt or something like that, there is a range, and there are both regular and grounded outlets shown, pluss the smaller slim outlets used for small cargers and lamps and stuff that are low on watt.
The reason the electrical outlets are color coded is because they are largely intercompatible. For an example, the type B is just a type A with ground. The type E, F, and K are all the type C but with different ways of implementing the ground connection. The type K decided to put an additional pin on the plug. While the E decided to put a pin in the outlet instead. While the type F uses a clip in the outlet that hugs around the plug. (partly to provide an even more snug fit to not have accidental disconnects.) The type E and F are also intercompatible in daily use, since most type F plugs support the type E as well. (While the type K that is only used by Denmark isn't intercompatible with anything... they if anyone should switch to the type F that all their neighbours use....) The reason a lot of the map is green is thanks to the abhorrent Europlug. The only plug that is worse than the type A as far as electrical safety is concerned... (Its "insulated" pins have a tendency to get snagged in the socket and leave some nice wires poking out with power still applied to them...) Also, the type B is upside down in the picture, the ground pin should officially be on the top, so that the ground pin protects the end user if anything reasonably thin falls and slides in between the plug and socket, since the socket isn't recessed nor is the pins on the plug insulated to stop someone from touching live metal. (And usually one can pull the plug out about 5 or so mm and still have electrical contact. The round type C derived plugs are recessed for a reason. (and that reason is actually so that one can hang a transformer onto them without the pins shearing off, back in the "good" old days when such weighed a few kg if one needed some actual power....)) The Brits made the type G with insulated pins, and also making the plug polarized, as well as stuff in a fuse into the plug itself. Polarizing the plug saved them from having an additional switch contact if one have an Edison screw lamp, but there were more practical concerns back in the day when there were a larger risk of metalwork becoming live. The fuse is to protect the cable, but the fuse in one's distribution-panel/fusebox is already going to trip regardless, a mains fault is a fairly energetic affair. But this plug side fuse is largely redundant, all appliances should have a mains side fuse regardless, at least if sold in the EU, USA, Canada, Australia, etc, etc. Though, the main issue I have with type G is how bulky it is, and that it complicates cable management. (Though, then there is also all the misconceptions surrounding square pins and contact resistance.... But this is true for the Type, A, B, H, I as well...) My own opinion is that the world should all just use the type F plug, except in applications where more than 16 Amps is needed. Since it already is the most common plug in the world, it is sturdy and compact, and can handle a fair bit of power. (For higher current needs, there is already IEC 60309 (or CEE form), these are though a complicated mess to be fair, and really bulky, since they are used in heavy industry, but can also be found at shipping-/air-ports.)

That means when the world would switch to one kind of outlet also the Voltages and Amperes have to be adjusted so you really can use it anywhere

8:50 People of lebanese (and syrian) ancestry are not common to *see* in Brazil despite their combined 13 million, simply because there are 210 million people in the country. Their contributions, however, can be seen more than the ones who brought it, specially in the culinary.
And society/Politics, as one of the most prestigious hospitals in the country is the Syrian-Lebanese Hospital and our former President, Michel Temer, was of Lebanese descent, as was former presidential candidate Haddad.
Yeah, in general we ( syrian and lebanese) are easily mixed with any type of pepole and we are very easly adptive exept when it comes to religious beliefs. That is why in general most levantians who migrated to soith America are Christians, even that most syrians are Muslims ( as a syrian i know the family name haddad, it is a christian family name even that it just mean a blacksmith 😅)
I've been told that I look middle eastern, and in my father's hometown, there is a kinda significant syrian/lebanese community. Who knows if I myself am not a descendant 😁
Don't know why the map at 06:00 shows Ghent 1817 in Belgium since the oldest and best known Belgian university is the KU Leuven (Catholic University of Leuven) first established in 1425.
@@General.Knowledge It seems possible that if wave of migration from Montenegro coincided with the gold rush, that could lead to a disproportion (especially in such a sparsely populated state). But that's only speculation.
From the little I can remember about electrical outlets, any of the outlet types that are grounded (like type B) are ideal in most situations. Many older homes in the US use type A but all new homes use type B. So in the pursuit of universal outlets there should be an effort for an outlet that is grounded.
For plug outlets I understand grouping A and B because A can plug into B as well. They are both very common in the US. For example, in the room I'm currently in there are 4 outlets one on each wall, the north side has an A outlet, the west side has an A outlet, the south side has a B outlet, and the east side has a B outlet. Another room, my kitchen has 4 outlets 1 on the east, 1 on the west, and 2 on the south. They are A on the east, but B on the other 3.
Brazilian map looks accurate kinda accurate. Just note that even though the majority of immigrants in Sao Paulo are italians, it also hosts the biggest japanese population outside Japan and very important Lebanese and Syrian communities as well
It should be noted that the GDP contribution is the product of GDP per capita and number of inhabitants. So If small-population states like Vermont and Maine are red this does not (necessarily) mean that they are less wealthy.
you sounded like you doubt the first tea consumption map but if i were you i'd just watch a tourists turkey journey and see how he gets offered tea everywhere
Yes, the world should use the schuko plug, since most of the world is already compatible with it. But the child safety standard (mandatory in some of the countries) is better designed than the UK one, and is even adult safe. The schuko plug is reversable, like USB type-C. It has earth, it has no exposed pins, and it's built to withstand several kilograms of force and high voltage. It's a very clever design for a plug, and it's very understandable that so many countries use it.
@9:06 The reason why they are color grouped but look slightly different in North America, but similar enough to group (e.g., an extra, missing, or false prong) is the ground wire and dual purpose for partial reverse compatibility. All North American (A&B) electrical outlets require at minimum 2 wires (A), hot (+) and neutral (-), but if the device being used requires a ground-wire (B), then the plug will have 3 prongs. Think of two devices: your refrigerator (B/3-wire ) and cell phone (A/2-wire) could work using the B/3-wire outlet to work, but you could not plug a refrigerator (B) into a 2-wire (A) outlet because the manufacturer or electrical code requires the 3rd wire for grounding the device.
The colour groupings on the electric plugs maps : voltage... 110 in US, 220 in Europe... as for tea drinking in the Middle East, it is a staple of local hospitality...
The outlets for the US, Japan and other orange countries have two because the older type, the two pronged, aren't grounded while the three pronged are. You can use a three pronged on a two with an adapter. That said we also have different plugs for our stoves and driers(and a few others) that have three but in a different layout from the 120v, their are even 4 pronged plugs.
The paper size map... It all makes sense to me now. Whenever I try to print my American documents in Germany it never fits the whole paper, it always gets cut off!
40 years ago, I had a job producing technical documents for a European pharmaceutical company, which were submitted to health authorities arouind the world. With the arrival of photocopiers, the problem with the US was reduced, A4 originals fit on american paper if copied at 94% size.
In Morocco, which is not an Arab country btw, this is a stereotype, we right from left to right too. In addition to Arabic and Darija, we use French and Tamazight, the last two languages are read from left to right
8:55 yes, it is grouped that way because of compatibility. From experience i know that despite Portugal using type-C electric outlets and the most common in Switzerland being the type-J one, they're compatible and to make a type-J plug work in a type-C socket, you just remove the extra pin and it works just fine.
9:00 - I lived in Italy 20 years ago and there were three different variations in the house. My electrical life depended on having the right combination of adapters.
Yes, the outlets are grouped by compatibility. The third holes in the orange and light blue are for grounding. If the plug has only two prongs, it can be used in all of those within the group. If it has three prongs, it requires the specific three-holed outlet. Also, some countries electrical systems operate on a 110-127 volt (some also have 230/240 available for higher voltage appliances). The majority only operate a 220-240 volt system. Fortunately, most modern computers, tablets, smartphones, etc. are dual voltage and work in either system. But if, for instance, you plug a 120 volt hairdryer into a 220 socket, it will fry the wires inside of hairdryer, and potentially catch on fire.
Interesting things I noticed about the tea map: -Ireland appears slightly darker than the UK -Portugal, one of the bottom 4, is the only European nation that actually produces tea (in the Azores)
To bad this isn't entirely correct, tea is produced in 16 different European countries, but the Gorreana in the Azores make up the biggest part by far. Other producers are "Windy Hollow Organics" from the UK, "Het Zuyderblad" & "Tea By Me" from the Netherlands, and "Tschanara Teagarden" in Germany. This is only true if you don't consider Turkey as a part of Europe, as Turkey is a top 10 producer of tea worldwide
@@PKG-vo8du Fascinating. And no, I wasn't counting Turkey. What I should have said - now that I've learned something - is that the Azores is the only place in Europe where tea can be cultivated naturally. As in, the habitat is actually conducive to growing tea.
Platypus was the most useful, as I’m writing a book and needed to know what climate they lived in, so thank you for helping me while I was procrastinating xD
In the USA the types A and B (brown) are both found. The third pin is an earth ground. A two prong cord can fit in a three prong outlet, but you need an adapter, hopefully with a grounded connection, to go the other way. Most new construction uses three prong outlets. There may also be a relationship with voltage levels and AC frequencies involved in the catagorization.
Brazil used to have an outlet which was compatible with the flat American and the [most common] European one. Now we have a new type compatible with none, and which is based on vaguely technical grounds.
Oldest universities around the world would be cool. I went to University of Delaware, which was formed in 1833. It's direct predecessor was founded in 1743 and chartered in 1769. It has one of the strangest US mascots, the Fighting Blue Hen. I did my postgraduate work at University of Colorado Boulder, founded in 1876, and went back to school at Santa Fe Community College, now Santa Fe College in Gainesville, FL, which was established in 1965.
The more correct way to measure it is "lactose persistence", the ability to digest lactose past weening (5 years old). Lactose persistence is the newer trait.
We use different outlets because innovators in each area invented their own outlets independently, without having any idea of what was being done elsewhere. Changing would require almost everyone replacing not just all their wall outlets but also either rewiring or replacing all their appliances.
3:27 That region of Africa is usually called "Central Africa", not "West Africa", though it does have an Atlantic coast. This is mainly because "West Africa" tends to refer to the further west and north region that has the Atlantic to the south and the Sahara to the North.
Different outlet shapes were partly designed to discourag the smuggling or piracy of electronic devices. Just how VHS and DVDs had separate regions where they would only work in their own region.
with electrical outlets, they are grouped because its literally the same outlet, just one might have a ground plug/no ground plug or if it does have a ground plug the placement of that ground plug. A & B are the same but B has a ground plug, C, D, & F are the same but D has the ground plug and F has clips on the side

( as a syrian i know the family name haddad, it is a christian family name even that it just mean a blacksmith 😅)
I've been told that I look middle eastern, and in my father's hometown, there is a kinda significant syrian/lebanese community. Who knows if I myself am not a descendant 😁
You can find kibe and eshira at every corner in São Paulo....
US Letter is honestly Great. It’s the perfect size for pretty much anything except big drawings
The platypus map is indeed very useful. Platypus' rock - they're awesome animals.
The platypus one is the best part of the video
8:20 people of Syrian and Lebanese ancestry are very often their countries "missing" christian community
Don't know why the map at 06:00 shows Ghent 1817 in Belgium since the oldest and best known Belgian university is the KU Leuven (Catholic University of Leuven) first established in 1425.

Ok turtle
9:07, really USA uses A, B, and I. You will find I in RV parks and factories. Maybe slightly modified.
I wonder what's up with all those Montenegrins in Alaska
They might be very few, but just even less in every other state. (Or the map could be wrong)
@@General.Knowledge It seems possible that if wave of migration from Montenegro coincided with the gold rush, that could lead to a disproportion (especially in such a sparsely populated state). But that's only speculation.
From the little I can remember about electrical outlets, any of the outlet types that are grounded (like type B) are ideal in most situations. Many older homes in the US use type A but all new homes use type B. So in the pursuit of universal outlets there should be an effort for an outlet that is grounded.
I always find it funny when eurasians refer North and South Americans as one continent while still separating Europe and Asia
Really cool and detailed information about each segment. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

I think the important part of the lactose map is the word "indigenous" and it shows the origin of milk consumption in Europe.
I love this video very interesting thanks for sharing
Big thumbs-up for the cool platypus map!
DEFINITELY do one on universities, please! This would be cool for Africa, the Middle East and China as well ....
For plug outlets I understand grouping A and B because A can plug into B as well. They are both very common in the US. For example, in the room I'm currently in there are 4 outlets one on each wall, the north side has an A outlet, the west side has an A outlet, the south side has a B outlet, and the east side has a B outlet. Another room, my kitchen has 4 outlets 1 on the east, 1 on the west, and 2 on the south. They are A on the east, but B on the other 3.
Me, a Portuguese tea consumer, drinking tea while clicking the video and seeing the first part. Well, something is strange ahah
Brazilian map looks accurate kinda accurate. Just note that even though the majority of immigrants in Sao Paulo are italians, it also hosts the biggest japanese population outside Japan and very important Lebanese and Syrian communities as well
Switzerland: Wisconsin
Yeah Both love their Cheese.
Belgium also Wisconsin: We're both famous for our serial killers
It is kind of strange to have "tea map of Europe" when many states in Europe have no data for them, but north African states are included.
Really cool maps is a great way to describe really cool maps!
It should be noted that the GDP contribution is the product of GDP per capita and number of inhabitants. So If small-population states like Vermont and Maine are red this does not (necessarily) mean that they are less wealthy.
you sounded like you doubt the first tea consumption map but if i were you i'd just watch a tourists turkey journey and see how he gets offered tea everywhere
Nice background music :)
I love how he starts with the ones on the thumbnail.
Yes, the world should use the schuko plug, since most of the world is already compatible with it. But the child safety standard (mandatory in some of the countries) is better designed than the UK one, and is even adult safe. The schuko plug is reversable, like USB type-C. It has earth, it has no exposed pins, and it's built to withstand several kilograms of force and high voltage. It's a very clever design for a plug, and it's very understandable that so many countries use it.
5:45 In Wisconsing is a town called New Glarus. In Switzerland there is a canton (state) called Glarus.
I think I'll have some spotted cow today.
8:15 beautiful song starts playing
@9:06 The reason why they are color grouped but look slightly different in North America, but similar enough to group (e.g., an extra, missing, or false prong) is the ground wire and dual purpose for partial reverse compatibility. All North American (A&B) electrical outlets require at minimum 2 wires (A), hot (+) and neutral (-), but if the device being used requires a ground-wire (B), then the plug will have 3 prongs. Think of two devices: your refrigerator (B/3-wire ) and cell phone (A/2-wire) could work using the B/3-wire outlet to work, but you could not plug a refrigerator (B) into a 2-wire (A) outlet because the manufacturer or electrical code requires the 3rd wire for grounding the device.
4:08 Taiwan is also highlighted
Taiwan is only recognised by 20 un states
@@karanrai8183 so? That doesn't mean it doesn't exist
I live in Chile and I never would've thought that more than half of the world uses a different type of paper than us.
The colour groupings on the electric plugs maps : voltage... 110 in US, 220 in Europe... as for tea drinking in the Middle East, it is a staple of local hospitality...
Definitely more map videos, please!
The outlets for the US, Japan and other orange countries have two because the older type, the two pronged, aren't grounded while the three pronged are. You can use a three pronged on a two with an adapter. That said we also have different plugs for our stoves and driers(and a few others) that have three but in a different layout from the 120v, their are even 4 pronged plugs.
The paper size map... It all makes sense to me now. Whenever I try to print my American documents in Germany it never fits the whole paper, it always gets cut off!
40 years ago, I had a job producing technical documents for a European pharmaceutical company, which were submitted to health authorities arouind the world. With the arrival of photocopiers, the problem with the US was reduced, A4 originals fit on american paper if copied at 94% size.

In Morocco, which is not an Arab country btw, this is a stereotype, we right from left to right too. In addition to Arabic and Darija, we use French and Tamazight, the last two languages are read from left to right
My favorites were the paper size and outlet type maps. Really cool. Thank you.
You're welcome! But full credit to whoever *made* the maps too.
8:55 yes, it is grouped that way because of compatibility. From experience i know that despite Portugal using type-C electric outlets and the most common in Switzerland being the type-J one, they're compatible and to make a type-J plug work in a type-C socket, you just remove the extra pin and it works just fine.
9:00 - I lived in Italy 20 years ago and there were three different variations in the house. My electrical life depended on having the right combination of adapters.
Yes, the outlets are grouped by compatibility. The third holes in the orange and light blue are for grounding. If the plug has only two prongs, it can be used in all of those within the group. If it has three prongs, it requires the specific three-holed outlet. Also, some countries electrical systems operate on a 110-127 volt (some also have 230/240 available for higher voltage appliances). The majority only operate a 220-240 volt system. Fortunately, most modern computers, tablets, smartphones, etc. are dual voltage and work in either system. But if, for instance, you plug a 120 volt hairdryer into a 220 socket, it will fry the wires inside of hairdryer, and potentially catch on fire.
Interesting things I noticed about the tea map:
-Ireland appears slightly darker than the UK
-Portugal, one of the bottom 4, is the only European nation that actually produces tea (in the Azores)
To bad this isn't entirely correct, tea is produced in 16 different European countries, but the Gorreana in the Azores make up the biggest part by far. Other producers are "Windy Hollow Organics" from the UK, "Het Zuyderblad" & "Tea By Me" from the Netherlands, and "Tschanara Teagarden" in Germany. This is only true if you don't consider Turkey as a part of Europe, as Turkey is a top 10 producer of tea worldwide
@@PKG-vo8du Fascinating. And no, I wasn't counting Turkey.
What I should have said - now that I've learned something - is that the Azores is the only place in Europe where tea can be cultivated naturally. As in, the habitat is actually conducive to growing tea.
Saw the oldest university map on Reddit, loved looking at it. I was surprised how recent Iceland's university was.
Would love to see the university video
A video about the oldest schools would be very cool!!
Platypus was the most useful, as I’m writing a book and needed to know what climate they lived in, so thank you for helping me while I was procrastinating xD
In the USA the types A and B (brown) are both found. The third pin is an earth ground. A two prong cord can fit in a three prong outlet, but you need an adapter, hopefully with a grounded connection, to go the other way. Most new construction uses three prong outlets.
There may also be a relationship with voltage levels and AC frequencies involved in the catagorization.
6:20 Vienna? Really? Look a tiny bit north, Charles Uni in Prague is older than uni in Vienna
As well as polish Jagiellonian
I always wondered what parts of Australia to find platypus. Now i know. Thank u.
Just got this in my recommendations
Welcome!
At 2:16, we can tell the states that give the most are also the most populous.
Nice, especially the map with the platypus.
More, please!
Brazil used to have an outlet which was compatible with the flat American and the [most common] European one. Now we have a new type compatible with none, and which is based on vaguely technical grounds.
Where did your signature bell at the sound of your videos come from? You’ve had it for years and it would be interesting to see why you included it!
Next video about the repartition of every important languages by official use by countries in the world please
Oldest universities around the world would be cool. I went to University of Delaware, which was formed in 1833. It's direct predecessor was founded in 1743 and chartered in 1769. It has one of the strangest US mascots, the Fighting Blue Hen. I did my postgraduate work at University of Colorado Boulder, founded in 1876, and went back to school at Santa Fe Community College, now Santa Fe College in Gainesville, FL, which was established in 1965.

I was 100% expecting coffee consumption coming after tea.
5:35 States near Great Lakes truly have a lot of Polish people. For example there are about 2 million people with Polish ancestry in Chicago
The more correct way to measure it is "lactose persistence", the ability to digest lactose past weening (5 years old). Lactose persistence is the newer trait.
Yes, the map is confusing in that way
We use different outlets because innovators in each area invented their own outlets independently, without having any idea of what was being done elsewhere. Changing would require almost everyone replacing not just all their wall outlets but also either rewiring or replacing all their appliances.
Some of the countries where people write from right to left also have people who write from left to write. Some do both.
It is always fun to hear German Marches in the background of your videos. Greetings from Northern Germany
If you wish to see a platypus, use the “sad robot” electrical socket ...
The british plug is clearly the best
3:27 That region of Africa is usually called "Central Africa", not "West Africa", though it does have an Atlantic coast. This is mainly because "West Africa" tends to refer to the further west and north region that has the Atlantic to the south and the Sahara to the North.
Different outlet shapes were partly designed to discourag the smuggling or piracy of electronic devices. Just how VHS and DVDs had separate regions where they would only work in their own region.
Platypus' are one of my favorite animals
with electrical outlets, they are grouped because its literally the same outlet, just one might have a ground plug/no ground plug or if it does have a ground plug the placement of that ground plug. A & B are the same but B has a ground plug, C, D, & F are the same but D has the ground plug and F has clips on the side
I love your vids herbal knowledge.
Hey, where's Perry?
I find the platypus map the most informing
