8:48 I believe the reason why France is shown as having so many more venomous animal species than the rest of Europe is because its overseas departments are included. Most of the venomous animals in France are probably only found in, say, French Guiana. Mainland France probably doesn't have any more venomous animals than its neighbours.

Hi Jack, as a Jew myself the reason Judaism is still one of the big five religions is because it was the first monotheistic religion; meaning the first religion to believe there is only one god. Both Christianity and Islam branched off Judaism (Jesus was Jewish btw). There aren’t many Jews left because it’s a bloodline religion and most of us have been killed off

[@emilymesch7537]

Re; 6:25 Jewish population map - note that I'm not a historian so I might be a little off on the margins here, but there are several reasons that the European Jewish population is lower. One is, yes, the Holocaust. That is really the #1 factor. It's estimated that only in the last ten years has the *global* Jewish population come back to its pre-Holocaust levels. Considering that the Holocaust affected European Jews almost exclusively, it makes sense that Europe would be the last region to see its numbers recover. But also, Israel exists. Whenever there is any kind of social or humanitarian crisis, there are good odds that a chunk of the Jewish population in the affected region will just say "screw this, we're better off leaving," which is an option that probably wouldn't exist without Israel as a landing spot. Possibly the greatest case in point for this is that in the year after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Israel saw something like a million immigrants from Eastern Europe. There's also, more specifically, been a general and steady rise of anti-semitism throughout Europe in the last few decades. This is best personified in the UK with Jeremy Corbyn's fall from grace, but other examples exist throughout the continent. So even in areas without social or humanitarian crises, European Jews may leave their home country because, well, we know what happens when you wait too long. Which I suppose feeds back into reason #1. I do want to point out that France appears to be the only country with an increase in Jewish population between the two maps, and I'll speculate on why: In the 40's, 50's, and 60's, Jews started emigrating from Muslim-majority countries en masse, due to increasing violence against Jews in those regions. In most cases, the easiest landing spot was Israel (see reason #2), but if you lived in Algeria or Tunisia, both controlled by France at the time of Israeli independence, a lot of times your easiest landing spot was France, instead. There is a very large North African Jewish population in France today, because of that, which didn't exist pre-WWII. Anyway, I hope someone found this interesting and worth the read.

1:51 American here, not sure if you were wondering about the odds of the presidents being born in Massachusetts, or just mostly the east in general, but I have an answer for the latter. The VAST majority of Americans live on the east half of the U.S.A., so statistically more people there will raise the chances of a potential president. Sorry if this was obvious and unnecessary, but I hope it helped!

[@liberalcitydweller]

Also, two of the Massachusetts presidents were father and son, so it makes sense that they’d be born in the same place

[@valentinakerman4216]

We should also point out that the US hasn't always been as expansive as it is today, and many of those states west of the Appalachians didn't exist until the 1830's and beyond. Not to mention that little ah... spat we had in the mid-late 1800s. The states involved had to rewrite their constitution before being allowed back into the union.

The reason most presidents were born towards the east is because for about 60-80 years worth of presidents, the west wasn't a thing, and then for the next 50+, the West was essentially a bunch of badlands.

The reason there are 4 from the same area in Massachusetts is because 2 of them were related and for the ones born in the last 100 years, their families were there cause they're rich.
