Welcome to another one of my videos with random geography, country, and culture facts. I initially wanted to make this video filled with wholesome facts since the theme of my last random facts video was more depressing. It runs out depressing facts are easlier to come up with and find. So hopefully, this video will just make you happy by learning something interesting. Anyway, let's go ahead and begin.

Another great video! I appreciate you doing your own narration instead of relying on text to speech.
The one with the orangutans in fear of getting a job is absolutely hilarious
Translated orangutan means 'man (people) of the forest'.
I mean look, we humans and orangutans are both primates, yet one that speaks human languages is forced to work while the other chillin' and eatin' bananas all day
@@oqf17pdr I know an orange human who... Anyway, he doesn't make much sense. 😄
It maybe true 😂
Maybe they're right. We have all kinds of animals work for us that don't talk. Get too close to people and they start expecting you to do a job 😅
Fun fact, there's actually just one guy from Brazil that takes a lot of showers every day and it skews the average a bit
georg showers
If that would be true. Then the average would be 4 showers.
6 billion parking spots? So instead of taking farmland out of production for solar farms , how about covering parking lots with solar panels? They would absorb sunlight instead of it heating up our cars or the pavement
All parked cars could enjoy free charging under a sun roof.
It's done in the Netherlands for electric municipal cars.
Great idea!
Unintentional double bonus for parking in the shade!
A lot of amusement parks are adapting this idea. It’s commonly growing but yeah. I hate it when the urbanize farm land
@@haydenstapleton9373 Imagine they would half a Walmart parking, two layers, with solar panels on top, and the rest park with trees again.
I also pretend not to be able to do things so I can avoid working and continue to watch geography videos on TH-cam.
Goddamn those giant sloth tunnels are wild
RIGHT???!!
The Mighty Morphine Power Rangers was a way more chill show... 😄
Geography is NEVER boring for me!
Amazing... especially when it comes to Alaska. I'm obsessed with that American state which to me seems like a far away country. Thanks for that interesting fact about it.
By distance it most certainly is. It is like the distance between berlin and cairo.
i lived in alaska! if you’ve got any weird questions that can’t be answered on the internet i’d love to enlighten you
@@antipuck You're so lucky! I guess I'm obsessed with it because of its geography. How it's an American state but so far north and to the west is Russia! The northern lights and how it's called the state of the midnight sun? Something like that. Maybe I'm romanticizing it, who knows. All I know is that I have to "meet it" before I die. :)
So lucky that you lived there!
I am obsessed with Alaska too my dream is to live in a cabin up there with a cozy wood stove
@@johnjimmies8256 That sounds like heaven!
a book or movie about a poll worker in India would be very interesting
I actually knew about Lewiston and Farragut! It's kinda strange how Idaho of all states has a significant naval history, but nonetheless we do
It isn’t strange at all, derpshirt. Idaho was beachfront property until Mary and them showed up west of ya 🤡🤡🤡
Greetings from Lewiston! From my balcony, I can see our two rivers (Clearwater and Snake) and watch the tugboats with barges and cruise ships on the rivers each day. 😊👍
Emotional rollercoaster on that bit on the almost annexation of the Dominican Republic. It also showed that even at the time it was not out of the ordinary to acknowledge the senselessness of racial prejudice and clear eyed observation that newly free blacks were not being given the chance to even grow roots as to rise and achieve their potential without being artificially held down.
And he didn’t want to just deport them to some island but he saw them as Americans that could stay American but escaping the undercurrent of racial prejudice.
Grant is really slept on as one of our greatest presidents and reminds me a lot of Teddy Roosevelt a lot in his ahead of the time thinking but action to back it up.
American legends.
At the end of his presidency Grant spoke to a meeting of African-American leaders, I think in Philadelphia. In the speech he apologized for failing to make the promise of the Civil War, freedom and equal rights protected by the Constitution and Justice Department real for Black Americans. Such a humble modest man.
He's my favorite General and was a good President. He believed in racial equality. He actually tried. Not until Lindon Johnson did a President do anything to bring Liberty and Justice for All to America.
true though
@@virginiaoflaherty2983-- Grant was not one of America's best presidents. His Administration was among the top 2 or 3 most corrupt presidential administrations in US history, and Grant did nothing about it. He was a terrible chief executive.
it snowed in Yuma, AZ (my home town) on Dec 12, 1932. Long before I was around to see it. I didn't experience snow first hand until I was 19-20 when I briefly lived in Prescott AZ
We moved from Arizona recently, and I remember reading a story that when it snowed in Yuma, it was overnight. Since city officials knew it would melt by morning, the emergency vehicles turned on their sirens, so kids could wake up and see the snow.
A friend from the tropics, who had never seen snow, thought it was fall-out from an atomic bomb, and got very scared... took some time to get him out to play with it...
Ive been in the Miami area for a long time and its definitely gotten over 100 several several times
was in such a bad mood today but that orangutan fact killed me
Hell yea. Another banger from Geography Geek. Thank goodness - we were just talking about you yesterday ✌️😎🇺🇲
Thanks man! Hope ya’ll are doing well
@GeographyGeek we're all fine right now ✌️😎🇺🇲
As a brazilian, I can confirm everyone on my family take at least 2 showers everyday, I take 3 on a normal day
How do yall have the time?
I mean, it's just 15min. I usually take one when I wake up, one after getting home and one before sleeping.
Imagine peacefully living distanced from the civilization & the pole workers still find you
Some great geography surprises: Montreal, Quebec is farther south than Trieste, Italy. Toronto, Ontario is on the same latitude as the northern coast of Spain. Cape May, New Jersey is farther south than Newport, Kentucky.
The first one made me say “Oh, wow.” Before it fully processed in my brain, when it did, I said, “Wait what?!”
Indonesian here. The oragutan one is 100% valid. You gotta contribute something smh
We gonna talk about the giant sloths??
google it. trust me. its worth it
Randomly watching and to my surprise I see the clip you’ve used is of my local McDonald’s. 😂😂
Thank God cause I really was bored tbh 😂😂
Love these kind of videos. Keep them coming
Cape Malays are more locally known as Cape coloureds. Nothing offensive in it; its just the way they refer to themselves
Interesting
As a Lewiston Native, thank you for including us.
Virgin Japanese: noooo don’t have goku parties!!!!1!11!11!1
Chad Mexicans: *has goku parties anyway*
LOVE THESE thank uuu
Was bored on my birthday and this popped up, this was quite entertaining
Happy birthday!
Jesus, it regularly gets over 100F in almost all of the lower 48 i feel like. It at least for sure does in Ky and In, the two ive lived in
I've lived in both also.
Actually miami did hit 100* once in the 1940s but because of the easterly winds stays fairly lower even after recent big heat indexs ft lauderdale though and inland towards the everglades become swelltering
Brazilians taking an average of 2 showers a day makes them even more attractive lol
I appreciate these videos with quick facts so much! Glad I found your channel
4:25 I scroll around on Google Earth randomly and always wondered why that random piece of Spain was so white
Oregon and Washington are a face. Both states. Her body is a mermaid that reaches Panama
11:00 as a South African who’s partner is “cape Malay”, here’s some extra facts:
- cape Malay people generally prefer the term “coloured” (alternative spelling: “kalid”)
- most are not actually descended from Malaysians. They’re mostly Indonesian of origin, or at least, the coloured people with a lot of Asian genes are
- the remaining are very much mixed race
im sorry but I DIED at how you pronounced Ljubljana lmaoooo i understand its not easy for the non-slavic speaking people tho
did youtube actually just insert an ad into the middle of another ad, which was already playing?
Was bored on my birthday and this popped up, this was quite entertaining 👏
Greetings from Lewiston, Idaho, the most inland port on the west coast of North America (thanks to 8 dams with locks on the Columbia and Snake rivers). Also was the first capital of the Idaho Territory. Also home to America's newest wine growing region (AVA). And together with Clarkston, Washington across the river, is the #1 retirement community in the Pacific Northwest with the highest median age and greatest % of retirees of any urban area in the NW. Come pay us a visit! 😊👍
I love these episodes! More please! All the random facts are fascinating.
I know that I am procrastinating a much needed bathroom cleaning when I find myself interested in geography. It's like detailing your car before a trip. You're excited about the trip, but not so enthused about emptying the cup holders.
I live in Miami FL and I can assure you that we've had MANY days of 100+ degrees.
I think you are referring to the heat index not the actual temp. - www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2011-09-06-ct-wea-0906-asktom-20110906-story.html
Worked so good I fell asleep in the first 30seconds
Thank you
This is so interesting and rlly cheered me up, tysm!
I'm half Mexican and the dragon ball obsession is real.
Why was Japan opposed to the Mexican watch parties? Cultural appropriation? Seriously, it seems like it would be beneficial for both nations
Norilsk is also one of the most air polluted city if ya don't know
So, you're telling me... that England has a higher record temperature than Hawaii?!?
some of these made me sad and not happy
I can absolutely guarantee that it snowed in Florida in 86 or 87. I was there on a trip to Disney and I couldn't believe it was snowing when I wanted to learn surfing ;-)
He was talking about Miami, specifically.
I have sold my life to the Snail. And I can’t tell if I’m happy or sad about it.
I love this channel...
Hey the Great Pyramid of Cholula! I was there back in August, and on a Sunday nevertheless so the church was happening! It was awesome!
And seeing a Long Island related topic is a head trip for me too, considering I’m from there lol. I’ve seen Gardiners Island, but I’ve never visited.
No sabia lo del BigMac index, gracias!
Thank you.
And Sasquatch beings reside in every continent except Antarctica.
The Spanish greenhouses one is pretty dark. It's almost exclusively worked by african migrants in slave conditions with terrible sanitation and living spaces.
Where my Idahoans at?
Lewiston here! 😁👍
New York should have to change the baseball team's name from the Yankees. Lol.
Why? It’s mockery and it’s delicious 😊
Wow the US has sooo many psrking spots, but none of them seem to be in LA.
do you ever pine for the knowledge you know you won't ever be able to possess? i want to either soak in the whole Akashic records like a sponge or close my eyes to eternity. Wish Mephistopheles would follow me home one of these days
Didn’t know passports had powerrankings
I live in Miami and its gone over 100 degrees plenty of times
Worked so good I fell asleep in the first 30seconds 😂
Thank you
Sweet dreams. The rest of us loved this.
Damn even the UK has had 38+ degrees now. As if we were as hot as Hawaii.
Oh and Miami too! Well, it's kinda understandable. It was unbearably hot.
3:08 correction: Longyearbyen is actually the northernmost city in the world and it sets at the 78th parallel north just about 1000 km away from the north pole
I said with over 180k residents
@@GeographyGeek why exactly 180k though? Sounds like a weirdly arbitrary number
@@houndofculann1793 because it makes it first then lol
@@GeographyGeekhey guy, talk about the country of India being the head of an elephant. Th whole thing. Do it. Talk about it.
Bridges across the amazon are pointless when tou think abour it. Theres no roads, so cars arent going across the (hypothetical) bridges, just people. And when people already use boats to travel along the rivers, both across and down, bridges seem like a pretty stupid project for what its worth
what the hell are you talking about there absolutely are roads in the amazon lmao
I should follow the orangutans strategy.
the Miami one has got to be wrong cause I live in New York where there's over 100 degree days almost every summer, and I went to school in Tampa where there was 102 degree day that had a real feel of 111
Gotta love yr approach ❤Glad i found ya
Record highs 90 to 100 years ago? Before our carbon footprint was made?
The island of Hawai’i is usually referred to as the Big Island or Big Island of Hawai’i, I enjoyed the fact nonetheless
Orangutan can perfectly understand sign language and can communicate with human using sign language
Now? With that ability, why do you think they not talk?
They're lazy
Depressing? It depends on your point of view and outlook.
Great show
And I just learned the word Francophone...😅
2 showers a day? Wth
Heat, sweat and customs inherited from the indigenous people who have lived here forever.
Today I already took two and I plan to take one more. 😂😂
@@ored85 😳😦😮😯😲🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Careful or you'll end up smelling like an actor😂😂❤
@@creativecatalyst777 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
It's not common!?
I'm from the South where it's a lot colder but I still take two showers everyday. Makes ya feel so good 😅
no way in hell is alaska and hawaii gunna have the same high temp, and no way either has a high of 100 F.
That Alaska fact is definitely not true. Interior Alaska gets over 100* regularly in warm summers (2019, 2020 and 2022)
Wait people arent showering twice a day??
same really bored also 5th
That's my local McDonald's. That's incredibly weird..!
I’m living in Arkansas (day before new years and my kids played without jackets on outside today) and my grandparents lived the majority of my life in Orlando…and youre telling me that MIAMI IS NOT AS HOT AS NORTHERN ARKANSAS? Honestly I’m kind of ticked off 😂
I love good vibe videos? 😊
This is on TH-cam. It must be true
I have about 47 questions.
The “J” is pronounced as a “y” in the name of capital of Slovenia, as it is in many languages.
Nice video
Thank you!
@@GeographyGeekhey geek, Africa is a one-horned Head. Talk about it and shush with all that other jazz.
Thanks.
There a bridge now 😔😔😔
Can you like number these videos or something 😂😂😂
They're amazing
YEAAAAHHHHHH!!!
War thunder is available on phones
This guys voice sounds like Mr. Beat
That miami fact is definitely not correct

Happy 😺
GIANT SLOTH IS A LIE
they did exist, google it
You're very sibilant.
ok this is very random but is it just me or does anyone else hate the fact that a sponsored video with an ad in the video, and yet youtube still have me 2 unskippable ads back to back before the sponsored segment was over. And not even that the ad content are never prefrences or related to any of my videos. All i see is ROCKET MONEY ROCKET MONEY ROCKETMONEY. Like bro I’ve blocked that ad 10 times and counting and yet I still get it every other hour. And its always the same distributor and same topic…
