The demographics is wrong. That percentage is nearly 50% mixed race people and about 8% black. Race mixing in Brazil was never ilegal after slavery was abolished so we have a mixed race generation of people that is half of the population. The other half is white and indigenous.

Hey guys... The case of ants is a indigenous People culture, not of all brazilians...

Americans : Its soccer, not futebol! Brazilians : Let's go to Bin Laden's bar?

Number 40 is about some indigenous tribe, no one in Brazil does this kind of shit except for a tribe in the middle of the Amazon, besides this ant only exists in the Amazon and 80% of the population lives near the coast, very far from the Amazon. There are several things wrong but I preferred to talk about this one because he says "Brazilian boys" as if all Brazilians do this, when it is just a custom of an isolated indigenous tribe in the Amazon. It's the same thing as saying that "American boys" need to eat at Mcdonald's every day to become adults, it doesn't make any fucking sense. 43 another very relevant error, the nation with the most black people outside of Africa is the United States which has around 14% of the 330 million black population, in Brazil the black population is 8% of 210 million, so it is a simple calculation to understand. In Brazil, around 49% consider themselves "pardo", a mixed race person, not too white to be white and not too black to be black. And around 41% consider themselves white. Brazil is extremely mixed, there have never been prohibitions or divisions of people of different races in relating and having families and this is the case to this day. Another gross mistake is to say: "The Amazon is the lungs of the World", no, no, that's crazy, all the trees in the world, not just in the Amazon, correspond to around 30% of the oxygen, and the sea plants in the ocean correspond to around 70%... Another thing that doesn't make any sense. 54, interestingly Pelé is in this vertical cemetery.

about fact 23 he forgot that the southern region of Brazil does not have a tropical climate and that some cities experience snow annually

07:05 no guys, that way you said before it's right, that guy from the other video tought you wrong, there's many accents in Brazil and speak the "de" as in spanish is also right, but "djay" is so so wrong, no one in Brazil speaks like that

45:40 - Yes, we build these things here. We have one of the largest technology industries here in Brazil, including aerospace. iPhone is expensive here because we don't have favorable trade agreements between Brazil and the United States, because Americans think we live in the woods. Brazil occupies 4th place in the ranking of number of cell phones in the world. Just behind the United States.

This percentage of 56% of Brazilians identifying as black is wrong! In the last census (2022) 45.3% of people identified as pardo (mixed race, which can be white+black, white+indigenous, indigenous+black, etc.) 43.5% identified as white, 10.2% identified as black, 0.6% as indigenous and 0.4% as East Asian. So, in fact, only about 10% of Brazilians are black. The number is around 50% if we consider pardo people as black too, but it is complex, because the majority of pardo people also have European ancestry, and many of them share more traits of European ancestry than black ancestry. The IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) places pardo people in the same group as black people because the majority of them have some degree of black ancestry, some more than others.

He's correct, France has 12 time zones. They have territories in 5 continents.

In Brazil exists eletronic industries, manufacturing computers, for exemple. Exist a large numbers of tecnical assistente too But, These types of products are majority imported and the taxes are expensive.

I really think that nº 57 is wrong, coffee in Brazil is widely consumed, I know people from all regions of Brazil and there is no shortage of coffee in anyone's house.

About number 26. You have no idea of ​​Brazilians' ability to make fun of everything. Mark Zuckerberg even blocked Brazilians on Facebook for making fun of them in the comments. If you think a Bin Laden bar is crazy, we have a singer called MC Bin Laden.

A few notes about Brasil and bin laden: In the late 90’s/early 2000’s there was a comedy tv show called “casseta & planeta” where was a segment called “cafofo do osama” (osama’s crib), which was a parody that osama bin laden was a refugee living in a favela and married a brazilian. If you look it up, don’t consider the black face pls currently on the national big brother show (big brother Brasil) there is a contestant called “mc bin laden” who is a funk singer from São Paulo.

.. off course we build laptops and phones and DSLR cameras and cars and planes and submarines and particles accelerator here, we are not monkeys,.. but just the brand Apple is much more expensive. this video is very shallow and it has much more wrong stuff than Geography Now video.

Actually, when we have a "s" in between vowels in portuguese, we pronounce it with the sound of "z" so Brasil is actually pronounced with a Z sound.

About the last fact, in reality dilma did took a few loams but all other presidents also did. She was impeached more because she got no allies (and the responsible for moving the process (in USA it would be the house speaker) after her vice-president (whom was unling to collaborate with the "legal" coup) took the presidency congress passed a law to make her "crimes" legal.

Another interesting fact about Brazil in relation to the USA: Did you know that the state of New York, which at the time was still called "New Amsterdam" was founded by Brazilian refugee immigrants together with the Dutch who were expelled from "New Holland" by the Portuguese and Brazilians in the 17th century in which the place was once a large Dutch colonial conglomerate in northeast Brazil?

83 - No way that's true! we have production for all "i-stuff" here...the thing is that the prices are insane, so many people prefer to buy them in US, so the warranty doesn't work for those devices. Now, about technology...man, we have factories for all kinds of electronics. Apple uses a third company (Foxxconn) for their products, just as Xiaomi and Dell. He have Samsung, Motorola, JBL, AOC, AIWA Lenovo, Nintendo, etc.etc... (however, Canon, Nikon and Sony closed their doors around here) Sony still produces devices and also we have production of Xbox, but through other companies.

Number 40 is a custom of a remote tribe. The custom was not usual even among the indigenous tribes, much less among the population. So it's weird when he said "brazilian boys". It would be like saying "American boys don´t use electricity and this and that" when talking about the Amish. (or just think instead of some local custom by some indigenous American people)

The Bin Laden bars happened because, after the 9/11 we had news about the US army looking for Bin Laden everywhere for months. Then a comedy TV Show started saying that Osama had a crib (It was literally called "Osama's Crib") in Rio and that he was staying there the whole time, enjoying the beach. They made a whole set of it too. 🤣🤣It was on for weeks, small takes of 2 to 5 minutes max during that comedy show. It was a lamer version of SNL in my opinion, but that Bin Laden sketch was awesome. LMAO

10:10 Actually has 4. It miss one for the isles in east like "Fernando de Noronha". 10:50 Brasilia has the oficial time zone. But both are the same: GMT-3

Sempre antes de pensar em falta de carater humano,Eu prefiro acreditar que,o conhecimento ainda nao chegou de forma acessivel e acertiva a todos,quanta desinformación.💩

Football is really a national passion, even though some people do not like it, in the world cup the hole country stops to watch the games but the samba stereotype does piss off a lot of brazilians because it's mostly a Rio and São Paulo thing, the other regions have their own traditions for carnaval (frevo, axé, etc)

Electronics cost twice as much in Brazil because of taxes :(

Fun fact, in old Portuguese, Brazil is written with Z not S. This S thing came with a reform of the language in the begining of the 20th century.

5 Milions people were just there to celebrete to NEW YEAR; by chance there was a ROD STEWART show, but no one cares about him. 🇧🇷🤣🤣🤣

About Henry Ford. He built the entire town from scratch

In fact, Apple electronic products are not built in Brazil, but we have several other brands that have assembly companies here. This does not mean that we do not have maintenance or assistance from Apple.

the women's vote stuff at 30:13 is just wrong. Femine vote was universally allowed in 1932, not 1946. Before that, still in the 20s, some women would vote but they had to sue the state for it. 1932 seems too late, but for comparisson USA - 1920 UK - 1928 France - 1944 Italy - 1945 Germany - 1918 Spain - 1933 Sweden - 1919 Russia - 1917 Mexico - 1953 Argentina - 1947 Belgium - 1948 so you see... the way this video brings this fact, it seems that it was so late compared to the rest of the world. But in fact, Brazil allowed female suffrage BEFORE France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Belgium and probably several other western European countries.

Muitos dados desencontrados no vídeo... Informações que não são fidedignas🤔

Têm muita informação errada no video que vocês reagiram 😄

There are important facts not given: 1) there is a 13o salary in December 2) there is a full month or larger, full paid, to mother with newborns 3) the medical universal service SUS is free, even for cancer treatment, also free for tourists and illegal imigrants 4) the work vacancies last for 30 days, full paid 5) there is 10 or more holidays per year 6) the best universities are public and free, the student pays nothing 7) a lot of medicins (diabetes, hypertension, psichiatric drugs) are freely provided by SUS 8) if a divorced guy does not gives money for his kids, up to 1/3 of his salary, he goes to prision without possibility of fiance.

You guys got the idea in making a Bin Laden bar, is just for laughs. We brazilians have a sense of humor for everything. If the dudes look like someone, we give them the nickname and it sticks forever

Brazil have 4 time zones and the time zones of France are due to its colonies

man i doesnt get my laptop or my cellphone in usa, i get it here. We are not monkeys, we have stores, cities, internet, tecnology

40 - that's only for only one tribe, the Sateré-mawé. And that's true... the boy must endure the ants biting their hands without making any reactions, 12 minutes for 20 times. The pain endures for at least 24h tho.

In number 37, it is worth remembering that this number of people was estimated and there was no confirmation of its veracity, as in other major events. Not long ago there was a gathering on Av. Paulista in São Paulo, which is approximately 1 km, where it was said by the organizers that there were close to 750 thousand people, but a study by a local university (USP - University of São Paulo) using a method with AI (Artificial Intelligence) showed that there should be a total of 185 thousand people in the place, so this number of 3.7 million people on Copacabana beach in this show may be greatly overestimated.

About the coffee thing: while the best grains are exported we still have a coffee consumption culture! Breakfast is literally called "morning coffee" (café da manhã), with a companion afternoon coffee (café da tarde). A lot of restaurants also offer a small cup of coffee for free after lunch. I think our cups are just smaller and our coffee stronger

when he talks about brazilian cities with over 1 million people, those are MUNICIPALITIES populations. the concept of city may differ from country to country. In some countries, cities are almost synonym to metropolitan area, that is, extrapolating the municipal borders. When considering contiguous urban area populations, the rankings change. Porto Alegre becomes 4th or 5th for example, with almost 5 million people.

The Bin Laden bar part was too much for the Americans. 😂

they serve ''chocolate bombs'' in the osama bar LOL

Fun fact: 3.5million people is roughly the entire Uruguay's population. Which makes it even crazier hahaha

France have 12 time zones because they have teritories all over the globe, mostly islands, and some even try to add one more time zone becaus antarctica By the way the cellphone banned in the banks was a thing of the past, and we have one of the most, if not the most, advanced digital payment systems in the world.

Interesting facts about Snake Island. It is on the south coast of São Paulo. The snakes are classified as "Jararaca ilhoa". Through the process of adapting to living on an island, they developed a stronger venom than common pit vipers, as they needed to prey on birds. (jararacas are the snakes that cause the most accidents with humans in Brazil) In the past, the lighthouse located at the top of the island needed to be activated manually. Then the family of the person responsible moved to the island. After a while, the lighthouse stopped being activated and the navy went to the location, and found the entire family dead, because there were several snakes in the house. Since then, the Lighthouse has been automated. And you cannot disembark on the island without authorization from the Navy.

the geograf guy is amazing but he is wrong about 'Rio Jay Janeiro', in portuguese the letter 'D' have the sound of 'THE' in english, so you guys can say RIO THE JANEIRO, sounds 99% right

Another interesting fact about Brazil in relation to the USA: Did you know that the former Emperor Dom Pedro II of the former Empire of Brazil almost became Emperor of the USA in the mid-19th century through popular American votes at the time who were fed up with Abraham Lincoln's presidential system?

yeah yeah, Norway won 1 friendly game and 1 match in the 1998 world cup. We very rarely play against Norway. We haven't played against them in almost 20 years. Generally Brasil doesn't put all of their main players in friendly matches and in the 1998 world cup match, Brasil had already won 2 matches in the group phase so the coach played with the reserves, because Brasil's spot in the round of 16 was already guaranteed, so there was no reason in risking the physical integrity of the main players.

Correction about the 56th fact, "jardim gramacho" is a neighborhood of the city of Caxias on the metropolitan region of the Rio de Janeiro. The neighborhood still stands, whats was closed is the gramacho's garbage dump located in jardim gramacho. I can say it because I live in jardim Gramacho

The name is written Brasil, but it is actully pronounced "Brazil", because in the language rules every "S" that comes after a vowel sounds like a "Z"

Brazilian is like that! He takes everything that is very serious and turns it into a joke. I don't know from whom we inherited this spirit of having fun with insane situations.

Apparently the Bin Laden bar got you exactly on their goal: laughing out loud! Brazilians have a weird, intense, hilarious sense of humor. As they say themselves, "I'll lose a friend, but I won't miss a joke."

a lot wrong information

about BinLaden, there was a comedy show in Brazil where BinLaden was married to a stereotypical brazilian black woman and lived in the dog's house on the lawn of the White House. The show was called Casseta & Planeta.

8:20 Actually it's more like parrot's land. The word "terra" has the both meanings

Why do Brazilians drink so little coffee?!!? Because everybody else does it wrong! You are not supposed to drink half a gallon at a time, our coffee cups are the size of espresso cups in the USA!

Wrong statistics. Please repair!

14:41 wait until u hear that we also have a FUNK singer called MC Bin Lander

It's insanely pleasurable to be Brazilian (I really love it, not mongrel syndrome here hahaha) we are culturally interesting... Believe me hahaha, we have so many talented artists (including ordinary everyday people) we are really creative and we are an essentially happy (despite the great social adversities that many still suffer)

About Rio... The way brazilians actually pronunciate the name of the city is "Hee-yo Gee Ja-nay-roo".

Fact 102: Rod Stewart: "Tim, millions of people came to see me?" Tim Maia: "Millions of people came to the party, some saw you."

Regarding fact 34, the percentage is wrong, in fact the Brazilian population is made up of: 10.2% black 43.5% white 0.6 are indigenous 0.4 are Asian (''yellow'' people) 45.3% are brown or ''pardo'' (sometimes people confuse black people with brown/pardo people and put the percentage of black people as higher)

Existem empresas de eletrônicos no Brasil sim, como a Multilaser por exemplo.

Praticamente, quase todas as informações tem algo de incorreto.

Terra Encantada is no more. The park abandoned attractions where all demolished, already. But they were there, standing still for over 10 years, after the park shutted down in 2010. And even so it was almost abandoned already, it never got "completed", it was always looking like something that was still under construction until the very end, with many of the attractions closed due to lack of maintainecement 😅

Rapaz como mi irrita quando vai falar do brasil só mostra estadio do Maracanã samba e Rio o brasil não é só essa porra não de cidade e samba sei nem que porra essa onde eu moro não existe isso de samba o brasil é conhecido por causa certas emissoras que mostra só rio Carnaval e crime nas favela uma cidade leva todo nome do brasil para o mundo a pior

React 25 etnias descendentes no Brasil .

Spencer has his birthday on the 11th of September? Same here bud! Greetings from Greece, love your content!

Brazilians drink a lot of coffee, but our coffee is light and percolated

I'm Brazilian and I have a curiosity for you. In fact, a recent survey detects that there are 144 registered places with the name "BAR DO OSAMA" (Osama's Bar) or "BAR DO BIN LADEN" (Bin Laden's Bar) in Brazil. In this research, no variations were recorded such as "Osama's Cave", "Osama's Cabin", etc. Personally, I really like one of these bars close to home called "Cafofo do Osama" (Osama's cozy place)

Awesome video, you guys are amazing, thank you! #84 - Electronics are really expensive in Brazil due to taxes, however, they are assembled and some are produced in the country, with a good number of them coming from Zona Franca de Manaus. In fact, most of the imported equipment has to go there to adapt products according to Brazilian laws, communication standards, and Portuguese instructions. Additionally, there are plenty of authorized stores from Apple, Samsung, and others where you can fix your devices.

Because coffee is a hot drink, and Brazil is a hot country, we don't drink much coffee here, except in the morning

The bite if those kind of giant fire ants are comparable to a shot of a 32 revolver each bite

45:30 what are you talking? Brazil doesn't made iphones, they arr imported, but brazil manufacture samsung devices, cars like bmw, nissan, chevrolet also have manufacturing plants in brazil. And brazil manufacture airplanes from embraer, laptops from several brands are made in brazil. And so on

So basically, Ford needs rubber for his cars, and during that time, Brazil was the main sorce of rubber, so Ford decide to build a big manufactury town on the rubber region, but he made some cultural and geography misscalculation and the town never worked as planed

brazil does have virgo energy, we're so clean and organized lmao

4:20 Some are fully integrated (even streaming) while others choose to mantain the tradition and don't even speak portuguese.

Bro.. Its RIO 'DE' JANEIRO .. RIVER OF JANUARY ,, "DE" SOUNDS LIKE = THE ...... and to talk about "The ant's gloves" 20:23 ..its just a ritual to some indiginous tribes !

Muitas coisas no vídeo são distorcidas ou não condizem com a realidade, creio que para fazer um vídeo de um país deve se fazer uma pesquisa profunda, para que não destribua informações que não condizem com a realidade, por isso que muitas pessoas de fora do país deve achar que o Brasil é uma grande selva e que só existe o futebol e o carnal.🇧🇷

N° 21 is wrong, It was confirmed that the Amazon river starts on the Andes, becoming the longest river.

Norway won 2-1 over Brasil in 98sWC in Marseille. - What happened that night in Oslo(?) We of course went straight in to mode KARNEVAL. So crazy to beat Brasil we went NUTS.

the thing with the ants is a mature ritual in some indigenous tribes, you wear gloves made of leaf, in those gloves have ants stuck and you have to dance with this glove. So is not to everybody, only for the people who are part of those tribes. well some of those informations are a little bit distorced and some old.

Fire ants are the most painful insects in the world. The Indigenous people make a type of glove, where they trap 50 to 100 ants with their stingers inside. In this ritual, they put this glove on the Indigenous man who will become an adult, and dance with him for a few minutes. Only after this ritual, do they take off their gloves and pass them on to a new man. To give you an idea, a reporter put on a glove with just 3 ants, after being stung, he removed the glove screaming, the pain lasted 24 hours and he vomited a few times due to the pain.

The thing about putring your hands in a thing full of ants only happens among indigenous cultures. Most of brazilians dont even know it exists.

San Vicente main economic drive was Indian slave trade. That was where the Portuguese got the labor to tap the Brazil trees during the first 200 years.

😂😂😂 Dude, we play FOOTball with our hands, while they Brazilians play soccer with their FEET.😂😂😂❤

The change on Capital, from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia was an strategic one. 1st: The population was mainly concentrated in the coast, and bringing the capital to the middle of the country encouraged a expansion to the west and boosted the economy in the region. 2nd: to prevent naval atacks on the capital such as "Batalha do Rio de Janeiro" in 1711 when french privateers kidnapped the city and asked for a ranson to the portuguese crown, which them payed.

Hi, I'm a researcher here in Brazil, I study penile cancer and yes, penile cancer is quite common here, especially in the north/northeast of Brazil, but this is not directly linked to having sexual relations with animals, they are a set of factors that lead men to have penile cancer, among them is also the lack of intimate hygiene, multiple sexual partners, not using condoms at the time of the act, and because the region with the highest rates is a very hot region, the majority of patients with penis cancer they work on farms under the sun and spend all day working in the hot sun, many of them are elderly and have the mentality that if they touch their penis to clean it properly they will no longer be men (ahha this thought is a bit crazy but they think so). And also, as they live far from the big city, they have this culture of having sex with animals and for them it's super normal, many are forced to do this type of practice from a young age so they can become "men", but this type of behavior has decreased. practice over the years and just to remember, in Brazil this type of practice is a crime (zoophilia). Many of these patients live far from urban areas and have limited access to public healthcare, so they only seek hospitals when the disease is already advanced, many of them are aged 50 or over.

Some untruthfull things on this video: 1) The bullet ant ritual is a Rite of passage for only a few isolated indegenous tribes. It’s not a brazilian thing. 2) Eletronics are expensive here due to taxes but we do manufacture, sell and repair eletronics. You don’t have to go abroad to do those things. Of course, if you are traveling overseas, it may be cheaper to buy an iPhone there. 3) sex activities with animals is a myth of the hillbillies of Brasil. Is like saying everyone sleeps with their sister in Alabama.

45:20 its actuly cheaper to go to the US buy an Iphone 15 stay there for about 3 days and come back, than buyng and iphone in Brazil

Não percebo por que razão os norte americanos chamam o "rugby" de "football"? Se é "football" por que razão jogam com as mãos?? "Foot" não é pé?? Americanos a ser americanos...

Bruh the thing with coffe is that u guys drink water with coffee, here in brazil we drink coffee with water

guys Brazil is very good in tecnology! it is the bigest civil airraft in the worl

Traduction FOR INGLES : RIO DE JANEIRO : RIVER OF JANUARY .

Imagine, Here in Brazil we force inmates to training so they can rob more efficiently on bike.

not only we do have aa lot of "Bin Laden's bars" but the biggest reallity show airing right now have a famous person called MC Bin Laden, he even have a song featured Gorillaz called Controllah and it's a great song haha

That #100 used to be a fact, but is not being enforced as much, nowadays. You can use your cell phone inside a bank, since EVERYONE relies on smartphones way more than back in mid 2000's when that regulation was instated

😂😂 there's a lot of wrong stuff in this vídeo ...but we brazilians have a GREAT sense of humour so it's funny to watch YOU "believing in it".😅 Keep researching about Brasil and you'll be amazed with it and you'll be here sooner than YOU think.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Hugs

About the 84: That your contact said is incorrect. In fact, we do have those kinds of electronics produced here... but the brand Apple is really expensive... For that reason, the same amount of money that you expend to buy/fix a new Apple device (the recent models), you can use to travel to the United States and buy another and travel around... but still plenty of Brazilians buy and fix their devices here in Brazil. My brother works for a company that fixes Apple devices here.

Of course that in Brazil we make a lot of electronic devices like laptops, smartphones and many more, from many famous brands. The problem is with Apple.

The lighthouse on Ilha das Cobras is now electronic. Only researchers with authorization from the Brazilian Navy enter the island
