on JackSucksAtGeography we upload a range of easy to watch & sometimes educational geography related content. I have successfully learned all 197 countries and flags of the world.

The most surprising thing about this video isn't the maps, it's the fact that Jack reads that England's population is at 56 000 and South Korea's population is at 51 000 without questioning it afterwards

[@jlhp]

Yeah i thought he would have at least mentioned it

[@JerjerB]

Right!?

[@vincentlucky]

that will be in a reddit vid

[@RedMadMichael]

He just misspoke... that's all. The numbers are clearly 56 and 51 milions.

Jack, I believe the dot mentioned at 1:19 refers to the Battle of Antarctica during WWII where America tried capturing German "flying saucers"

[@gr8nate1]

It could be the Falklands

[@tinobenfante7315]

The Falkland Islands are by south america

[@Nitro-fd8kf]

nah falklands are further west

[@brotrex5]

That would be the Battle Of South Georgia in April of 1982 1:19

[@brotrex5]

Upon further inspection I was wrong, my thought is it was part of the Indian Ocean Raid of 1942

[@Takumitsuu]

6:30 As someone who lives in Switzerland, people will understand you when you speak regular German. The Swiss German is quite different to regular German, but you are taught normal German in School. So anyone of the German speaking part of Switzerland will understand you. At the end of the day, Swiss German is just a dialect.

The desert in Namibia, Botswana, Angola and South Africa is the Kalahari desert and is the second biggest desert in Africa, Jack. It's also sometimes called the desert that is not a desert because many areas are full of extremely hardy and drought resistant trees, bushes and grasses. NASA 'discovered' millions of trees in that area they previously didn't account for, apparently. If you're interested in the lifestyle of the area you should watch the movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy.

[@sericat]

Isn't Namibia's desert the Namib?

[@aaronsfunlife2906]

And I am a South African Citezin so, It is Not Interesting to me, but it might be interesting to other people, and Namibia&South Africa Are Like 99%-59% Of the Kalahari and Namibia only has 2,6M people that's Less than Lesotho with 3,1M people cause of the Kalahari.

[@cisium1184]

@@sericat The Namib is smaller, older, and geologically different. It is specifically the desert along the western coast. The Kalahari is further inland on the other side of the escarpment.

Love that Jack had the same sad realisation a lot of German learners find, you want to go to Switzerland and you discover the horror that is Hochdeutsch

[@logangaming1103]

Don’t forget about Romash, rare, but even worse.

[@cheeseplated]

​@@logangaming1103 ye but that's a whole different language, hochdeutsch is just a weird dialect we have

[@lukasrentz3238]

​@@cheeseplatedOk, this confused me now. So per Definition Hochdeutsch includes Mitteldeutsch and Oberdeutsch. Oberdeutsch and its varieties is spoken in Southern Germany and the Alps. At the same Time the Standard Variety of German is also called Hochdeutsch. People who only speak the Standard Hochdeutsch may not unterstand the other Hochdeutsch (though here i assume you rather mean Oberdeutsch => Swiss German?)

[@cheeseplated]

@@lukasrentz3238 yes, sorry I live in an area where we call it hochdeutsch but really I mean oberdeutsch

[@lukasrentz3238]

7:43 There's a great video titled How English sounds to non-English speakers by youtube channel Brian and Karl that is really weird to listen to, but makes total sense when you think about it. As a native english speaker, listening to it is like "I feel like I should understand what they're saying, but I just barely can't"

[@CarolineLurks]

Fun fact: The English word 'new' and the Dutch word 'nieuw' do not only mean the same thing, they are also pronounced the same way ☺

Kinda surprised you experienced a quake while you were here in Australia; we have very very few earthquakes, as you can see from the map. Especially in built up areas. Melbourne had a tiny one (magnitude 5.8) a few years ago and it was front page news for days.

[@tumainitiger4655]

1:05 i wonder if its not that europe fought more than other places, but if maybe a lot of africa didnt document a lot of wars and battles? There's still lots of fighting in asia so maybe its just that fighting between tribes/villages through history weren't recorded due to cultural differences? Interesting map either way.

[@vonvildenschwert3045]

Yes. I think so too. People are same everywhere. Unfortunately the image of peaceful tribes is mostly wrong, I guees. Maybe with some exceptions.

looking at the map of the moving temperatures, notice just after dec 20 that blast of cold that went down the center of the USA all the way south, made for the coldest christmas in many years where I live, birmingham, alabama. It got as low as -12.7C here, and we are in the deep south which is rare. Then as january approached it warmed up fast and we had one of the warmest new years and has been pretty mild rest of winter. the weather has gone mad!

1:10 I don’t really know, isn’t it mostly just that we have much more documentation of battles that happened in Europe?
