Imagine if Australia makes Nauru a territory

I was about to say cuz Vatican City is the worlds smallest country. Good catch!

@@therealusman yeah. that's why they said imagine

Well to be fair Java is not that tiny tho

@@ReekyCheeks you just combined two of the facts in the video...

@@moon_fake it’s pretty tiny. Have you seen it on a map?

tiny? Comparing to other countries' size Java is still larger but yeah the way 100+ people fits into a place as small as that

@@katherineirving7189 bro go outside and go make friend please

I'm a Kiwi (who was born in Canada) and honestly I can't believe I'd never heard this before! Mind blown

This is nothing - most Americans can’t even name a city in the southern hemisphere. Americans are geography illiterate- even engineers & other professionals. When I told friends about a trip to Costa Rica from Baltimore, that it took less flying time than from Baltimore to San Francisco they were astounded - some didn’t even believe me. I could go on and on. BTW I’m American but love learning about geography.

I once flew from Shanghai (population c.25M 4000/km2) to New Zealand (population c.5M 20/km2). A definite contrast!

@@BenSussmanpro Most Americans could not point out their own state on a blank US map. I'm one of those who can, btw...and point out all of them on a blank map.

I had to look this up: this is true for the distance between the Australian east coast and the North Island (1868 from Port Macquarie to Cape Reinga), but Australia is closer to the South Island (1648km from Cape Howe to Doubtful Sound) than any point of Canada is to Mexico (from what I could tell, about 1820km from Tijuana to the 49th parallel). Tasmania is even closer again, about 1491km from Milford Sound.

and a few dozen guards lol

And the cold, hunger, North Korean Army, Potential Deportation and the camps, Families Sent to camps, and way more

Same with the US to norway. Technically, you can go from the Canadian border with Greenland to Norway by only traversing Canada, the US, and Russia.

don't do that... 🔒,🔑->🕳

@@Neo36563 chill, mate. It was a joke.

Exactly my thoughts

Sure, and they named it in honor of Mia Khalifa...

Agreed. I also think the presentation of it is a bit misleading considering the people climbing start around 6.5 burj Khalifa's up lol

The comparison is apples and oranges and applies only to height. To actually see Everest fairly up close for the first time is an experience never to be forgotten. So overwhelmingly magnificent it brought a tear to my eye.

@@A808K Magnificent? It is a mountain, nothing more, sure, it is arguably the highest mountain, but I see nothing special about that... If that brought tears to your eyes, what have you done when you saw the whole planet? Or the sun? As Hegel wrote, one can't find aesthetical pleasure in things that were not made by human beings. You were overwhelmed by some mountain, but I am much more impressed by something that no other living thing has made, such as Burj Khalifa, and other real wonders, things made by human beings.

It's actually a jungle and not a rain-forest

That is a mind f- NOLESY ok ok mum

So to get to the East, one heads West. Interesting, that’s the best fact

Yes, to go from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean on the Panama Canal you go west to eat...

@@richardharris8867 me* makes cars movie inner voice sounds *to go right, go left

I was going to make this same observation. Well done!

The westernmost point of China is also closer to Germany than it is to the easternmost point. But yeah, it's baffling how large Brazil is

Took a couple of seconds to sink in that you meant (N Brazil to Canada) is less than (N Brazil to S Brazil). I had thought you were saying (N Brazil to Canada) is less than (S Brazil to Canada) and trying to figure the distance south from S Brazil over Antarctica and on to N Canada. Now that would be an interesting fact -- are there any such surprise distances going the opposite way over one of the poles?

Well I checked that on Google Earth and found that the distance from North to South Brazil is about 2,716 miles, whereas the distance from North Brazil to Canada is 2,760 miles. Which would make you wrong.......if I'm right.

@@LordOfLight you're probably using the wrong points. From Monte Caburaí (northernmost of Brazil) to Cape Sable Lighthouse in Canada there are 2,654 miles. From the same Monte Caburaí to Barra do Chuí (southernmost point of Brazil) there are 2,732 miles

in fact, the northernmost point of Brazil is closer to every single country in the Americas than it is to the southernmost point of Brazil

Think I need to hire a proof listener!

I noticed that too. When he said area, and he should have said distance.✅✅

The distance is also wrong by 1,000 km or so. The distance from Hawaii to Maine is also further than Hawaii to Florida/

@@TransportGeekery But this wasn't to Hawaii. It was to Kure Atoll which is west of Midway.

@@-_James_- doesn’t matter. Maine is still further east.

And Wisconsin :)

That's what I thought...good catch!! Thanks!!

@@PrenticeAviation Lol I live in Wisconsin! How could I forget?? 🤣

How can we forget the Edmund Fitzgerald? I have heard it is a dangerous lake. I'm more familiar with Lake Michigan.

@@kittyhouse1028 o i'm from marqutte, mich. which i live my whole life. you learned from an early age to be careful of the great lake. when gordon lightfoot wrote the song, "the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald", he became an "yooper". he by passed the "honorary" part. he's a great canadian folk singer. much respect to him and his songs. he has a lot of great songs.

I love the Maine fact

​@@sanderappel4499 not surprising at all if you think about it

Yep, stopped watching after that

Yep I too stopped watching squared!

I had it just playing in the background, at this point I stopped watching. 👎🏽

Vatican City to Rome. About 2 inches

I wondered about the distance between Hawaii and Maine, as wouldn’t Maine be higher North?

So really, it's only 3.5 buildings to be as tall as mnt everest, wow

Ah, yes... but we know that many many dozens of people have successfully climbed Everest. How many have climbed Burj Khalifa? On the outside, I mean. Stairs and elevators don't count.

...but in all fairness, he did pronounce Chongqing and Nauru incorrectly.

Kihrihbat

Is it Kiribas?

Or Seychelles

@@Swede1066 then he pronounced baku wrong

Related to No. 2, few people know that going from the Atlantic to Pacific via the Panama Canal, you travel northwest to southeast -- you actually go "backwards", so to speak.

The Canadian border in Lake Erie is south of Chicago city limits.

Regarding number 2, I think you mean westernmost tip of Ecuador. Thanks for the interesting facts.

@@matts9781 Yes, or course, the westernmost tip, my bad.

Reno , NV is west of LA

Seattle, WA is 250 miles north of Toronto.

Yeah wtf lol

i personally live in hong kong and you get why its so densely populated by looking at skyscarpers

Irrelevant. You must be from Alabama.

fewer people

Yes Hong Kong has a humid subtropical climate, but only a couple degrees fahrenheit below the tropical climate threshold in December and January. Meanwhile Alabama is NOT bordering a tropical climate on its southern coast.

Most Canadians live south of Minneapolis mn

​@@TechedCanvas where the hell did you get 45 million? It's barely 38

And if you go due south from Detroit the first country you pass through is Canada!

@@jamesdignanmusic2765 point pelee is south of Erie, PA!

I was about to write that,@@jamesdignanmusic2765. Canada is north of the USA, but driving there from Detroit MI USA to Windsor ON Canada means driving *south.*

In other parts of the video he has said "this excludes city states and autonomous regions", I assume that he intended to include that disclaimer when calling Nauru the smallest country.

The way things are going in NYC, they may just catch up to the country of Jamaica.... 😮😳

I was wondering about that. I didn't think that's how Kingston looked.

It's actually Brooklyn, you can clearly see the Atlantic Armory Shelter. Very strange, makes the entire video of dubious quality.

The traffic driving on the right side of the road was the giveaway. In Jamaica, they drive on the left like the UK.

hey

You assume that everyone in India, Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines can speak English. They can't. Mind you, neither can the entire population of the U.S. or the U.K. (note, U.K. not England, there is a difference you know).

Only the first has more native speakers, though - it's a second language for almost all speakers in the latter four.

Maybe there is a difference between a state and a country. Vatican is a state in a country Italy so the Monaco. And Nauru is a country by it self... But maybe I am wrong.

I live in the U.K. and am filthy rich.

@@user-jn1tr8mo3g is that so

3. He said excluding city states. Vatican definitely is I'm not sure about Monaco

Madrid too, which I knew. Another mind blowing fact is that London is more north than Newfoundland, but south of Berlin.

Not every hemi sphere Cars like dodge and chervolet had American made hemis

Australia is only slightly smaller than Brazil. Whilst yes it's land area is made up of arid regions covering about 70% it still has rainforest and woodlands especially on the east coast where the Great Dividing Range helps to provide adequate rainfall. It even gets snow despite the highest point being 2.2km ASL. Tasmania is also a large island which is almost completely covered in woodland. The eastern part of Victoria is woodlands too. Another interesting fact is that despite it being the world's driest inhabited continent it still has some very wet areas. Sydney for example despite being firmly in the sub tropical high pressure zone receives over 1,200mm of rain on average per year. In 2022 it received about 2,300mm. Don't forget a large percentage of the land is coastal tropical areas subject to the wet season. Despite only having a population of about 26m it has 5 completely separate cities of over 1m. All except one is wetter than London on average. Half the population of Australia lives in just 3 cities. Melbourne and Sydney both about 5m and Brisbane about 3m with nearby Gold Coast about 600k

Yeah Nauru is the 3rd smallest, only behind Monaco and Vatican

Not counting city states

Sorry misfit. In physical geography, which is the kind of geography that measures lengths of rivers, Lake Victoria is just a wide spot in the stream which began at the source of the tributary river. In political geography it's three entities, the two rivers & one lake, but river lengths & flows fall under physical geography. As a side note, in the U.S. "Civil War", the North and South had different names for the same battle like Bull Run or Manassas. One's physical geography, one's political geography.

@@jameshepburn4631 Yeah, but do you know how ridiculous that is? It doesn't make any sense, and it's real unfair to apply this tactic to the Nile, but NOT the Amazon (though people have certainly tried and have!). And then you have to ask, which side of Lake Victoria do you measure. And naturally, they chose the tributary that just so happened to be the longest to add to the measurement. Seems like bs to me.

so sad what mainly northern hemisphere peoples did to the rest of the world by colonizing them. robbers and thieves

St John's (Newfoundland) once had a team in the UK's Elite Hockey League; it is closer to the UK than to many of the North American cities in the ECHL where they play now.

he mentioned excluding city states

St Pierre & Miquelon is also the only place in North America where the euro is used as currency

I took a French language class taught by a woman born in Saint Pierre & Miquelon (well, one of those islands). She spent her childhood there and in France, specifically the province of Centre, south of Paris. She was from the old and new worlds.

and the site of the coldest measured US temperature

And the U.P. of Michigan from someone who lives in Superior Wisconsin at the mouth of Lake Superior I was so caught off guard when he said it was only found in Canada and instantly went looking for a comment like this haha

Don't worry, was just a kite, not a real bird

Western, Eastern, Northern, and Southern hemispheres.

@@FenrizNNN there is no such thing as a western and eastern hemisphere geographically, those boundaries are made by politics

There is no reason to set the arbitrary restriction of staying within the United States though.

@@B3Band it's not arbitrary he stated the longest distance in the United States

My first thought was Hawaii to Maine and not Florida, but yeah, Alaska to Florida is farther

@@Nikki-tx1wd had the same first thought

There's something wrong with your numbers. 15283 miles is more than 60% of earth's circumference, but the largest possible distance on earth is half its circumference.

The same could be said of the United Kingdom. The main island of Great Britain is located in the Eastern, Western and Northern hemispheres, with territories (such as the Falkland Islands and Tristan da Cunha) in the Southern Hemisphere. There may be other countries with a similar claim. There are only two points on earth where all four hemispheres meet: where the Equator crosses 0 and 180 degrees longitude. The former is in the Atlantic Ocean, Kiribati is at the latter point.

We own those territories, but they are not part of the United States. It's like actual tooth implants vs. getting a grille.

But the point he's making that Kiribati is the only place where the Equator and either 0° or 180° Longitude (Kiribati) meet. (The Equator and 0° Longitude meet in the Atlantic off the coast of West Africa)

You don't need Guam. The Aleutian Islands in Alaska extend into the Eastern hemisphere to appx 179.8° East. Technically Alaska is our farthest Eastern state, leaving Maine way behind in the dust. Alaska is also our most Northern and most Western state also, a triple crown winner.

there are no eastern and western hemispheres. It’s a concept so profoundly erratic that it’s hilarious.

It is in both, and more surface area is in the USA than in Canada.

I've been to Lake Superior several times but have never been to Canada!

Is it really that cheaper if you live near the ocean?

@@Andrew.K.W mmmmmm icey cold shellfish with a beer preferably a pils?

@@alukuhito it can be cheaper if the ocean isnt a desirable ocean for example it is next to a sewarage outflow There are many factors that determine land value The ocean views can make up for a lot of negative however, the oceans wind, cold, salt present in the air can make it challenging in materials Hope that answers your question

Notice that you can't say "city," though. You refuted your own point.

That doesn't mean it doesn't belong to Canada. He was still right.
