i've been watching you for a good month or so now and my mental health is skyrocketing thanks to you.
This is so cool to read! I’m glad (:
Always brings a smile to my face when I see a new video.
Breakups can be long, drawn out, and exhausting, so I guess I can see the symbolism 😅 still would probably enjoy the phone call more.
It's better to tear off the bandaid.
True, a simple, quick phonecall is also symbolic of how worthless the relationship has become🙃 hence...💔
@@skipstopstart Worthless to one of those involved maybe.
Geographics is my favorite channel about geography. The channel is a deep dive into a monument, region, or geographical feature. Great stuff.
I’ll check it out, thank you
The Amazon spans not only Brazil but also Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and more SA countries
I was fortunate enough to be able to see the headwaters and forests of the Amazon Basin in Ecuador about 9 years ago. It was striking how it had such a distinct feel as compared to the rest of the country.
FYI: I'm Mexican-American and it's funny to see that for most people, don't really know how big Mexico is . The distance between Tijuana and Cancun it's bigger than the distance between Portugal and Ukraine.
Didn’t know Monaco was considered a country of its own but more like a municipality in France. Oh well. Good to learn things.
@4:40 Re: Nauru, it is the smallest island country, smallest non-city-state country, and smallest republic. I would guess he meant non-city-state as he used that qualifier a few times, but all are true.
Yeah always blown my mind that California's nominal GDP is larger than the UK's, France's or India's. Looks even funnier when you see it in a list:
United States
China
Japan
Germany
California
India
United Kingdom
France
Thanks for the list!
The Marina Abramović performance art mentioned @ 1:11 is called _Lovers_ . There are several video clips available on YT discussing it.
I think I saw clips of it along with some of her other crazy performances. The whole spirit cooking controversy was also great for her publicity. I became aware of her before the Podesta issue and Lady Gaga credited her techniques with helping her to quit smoking.
Been watching for since the universe is bigger than you think and it's refreshing to see someone who doesn't necessarily take everything seriously but you put some serious thought into all these different things when I feel like most people won't try to understand something new to them but more try to shape into something they are familiar with, but this channel can just flourish any type of content for the viewer to keep interest and it's very well done and thought out on your part, keep it up
"You guys into performance art" for some reason amuses me way too much😂
This video had a lot of interesting facts (although, it's always good to check the source and age of the quoted data). According to 2021 data from the UN, the top 10 countries with the highest "intentional homicide rate per 100,000 residents" are... 1) Jamaica- 52 2) South Africa- 42 3) St Lucia- 39 4) Honduras- 38 5) Belize- 31 6) St Vincent and the Grenadines- 31 7) Bahamas- 29 8)Trinidad and Tobago- 29 9) St Kitts and Nevis- 29 10) Mexico- 28 (Venezuela was at about 50/100,000 in 2017, but it had dropped to 19 in 2021 and I was shocked to see that the US Virgin Islands was at 49 in 2012, the last year they released data). Some other homicide statistics I thought you would find interesting....Mexico has 8 out of the top10 most dangerous cities in the world, ranging from a homicide rate of 73.40 homicides per 100,000 residents for the #9 city, Uruapan, to an absolutely mind-boggling rate of 196.6/100,000 for the #1 city, Zamora.
This channel is fun for geography. I've seen the other 2 you mentioned at the end, but I'd watch again to see your reaction. Cheers!
Book recommendation, ' the power of geography - ten maps that reveal the future of our world'
It's superb!
There's a follow-up book to it I bought but haven't read yet.
Happy Monday by the way x
My best break up ( I knew it was coming ) " you will start by telling me ..life is tough and it will finish with ... I'm sorry ... spare me the middle !
we had a cuddle and that was it .
18:14 "France's longest border is..."
Me: Australia (If your wondering how, think Antartica)
to add to your Great Wall story, years later she was giving an art performance which consisted of her and random people sitting in chairs facing, looking at each other in the eyes for like 5 minutes. He heard about it and sat, unannounced, in the chair. they faced each other for 5 minutes, eyes streaming, then he left.
thanks for getting to my suggestion NP !
Thanks for sending it in!
@@NoProtocol anything else from this same channel would be great !!!
Oh yeah I've bought a few of Peter's books and they're quite a good read. Big Pete's not everyone's cup of tea but one thing he certainly is good at is making topics digestible and entertaining. I don't always agree with him but some of his more logically laid out stuff is great, and heck it's not like I'm always right either. When he called the Russia/Ukraine war when I was first watching him back in 2014 I just couldn't imagine that actually happening
Many would be surprised to see Australia on the tree list at 5:30
I guess there are a lot of scrubby bush-like trees (obviously the definition of 'tree' vs 'bush' would have a bearing on it) but Australia has a huge area. Again, many of the trees in Russia and Canada would be relatively small pine trees, but then Canada and particularly Siberia are vast.
That pronunciation of 'lake' is making my toes curl!
performative art has always been so interesting
2:23 it's worth adding that those countries have total population of around 25 mln when California has around 40 mln people. Also half of 3,5 is 1,75 so no, they don't have less than half of California GDP.
Nauru is about 48 times bigger than Holy See (Vatican City). Nauru is about 10 times bigger than Monaco.
@noprotocol947 JFYI, The Holy See isn’t the smallest nation. The Sovereign Order of Malta. Is. One square city block in Rome , the SOM shares ambassadors with a surprising amount of nations.
Great Channel
A cool & interesting topic to look up and watch would be the beginning of the human & canine/dog partners/teams. How since the first wild dog and human accepted each other & became a lethal combo for protection, hunting etc and how selective breeding has gotten the canine species as while to where it's at currently. Find it super interesting how impactful the relationship of humans and dogs have shaped both of our histories etc.
My favorite part of your videos is your smile 🫣
You are correct Vatican City and Monaco are the smallest countries. He might have been referring to smallest country that is NOT a City-State.
The fact that the whole Vatican City can fit in a stadium is wild. I don't remember which stadium, however, which is sad but it's a large stadium.
The map of this "place" is imprinted at the moon... the channel vibe of cosmos may help you! Just check the flight paths and their weird stops... in the moon map they all make sense...
in 2015, My friend Zel offered to fly me to Dubai to stay in the Burj Khalifa for my birthday (our birthdays were 4 days apart). I constantly regret choosing real life and being able to pay my bills, than that once in a life-time offer. Actually there were a couple OIALT offers that I got while we were friends... It sucked having a rich friend who couldn't fully understand having to work to be able to do anything... but she was an absolute sweetheart
The way he says lake jars me
The middle-aged one is a bit of a misnomer though. People act like life expectancy is the same thing as a normal lifespan. It's not, it just describes how risky it is to live in a particular country. A country with high levels of infant deaths will have a lower average life expectancy. But once you survive into adulthood, you're not likely to drop dead at 55 because that's the life expectancy. Obviously poorer healthcare of public safety might make you more likely to die early, but it doesn't mean everyone should only count on living to 55, just that lots of unlucky people never even make it that far.
CGP Grey has some great Geography
In regards to the US violence one, if I’m not mistaken, if you remove the 5 most violent cities from the statistic we go up to the top ten or twenty. Not saying it isn’t a problem, but it’s crazy that five cities have such a heavy impact on our violence rate
That's an epic mutual break up. LOL. Also...I should really start checking out your recommendations. You're into some cool shiz. Haha.
Next to extreme temperatures, humidity levels should be calculated in earth's extreme climates, as the combination of both temperature and humidity takes climates to even more extremes. And maybe you should take wind chill (or the lack of) into account as well when it comes to experiencing extreme climates. This also demonstrated how evolution works: all life on earth is specialised to the climates that are available here. When, for instance, combining a temperature above 37°C with a humidity above 65-ish % relative humidity, you (a mammal) start to drown while breathing as your lungs are the coldest part the air touches and water will condense in your lungs. Your body actually refuses to breath in these conditions if values are increased as it feels the same as drowning. You also start to heat up while breathing as you don't loose any bodyheat anymore that way. Typically, this circumstance doesn't occur on our planet, hence we (mammals) didn't need to adapt to it.
One of my fav sites.
Fun Physical Geography Fact:
If you are in Cleveland, Ohio (the 81st meridian) & you attempt to fly directly south to South America from North America ....
You will not fly over South America, You will be just off it's west coast.
Eventhough 0.01% of Oman's land is forested, these forests are the only place where confirmed sightings of the Arabian leopard and the Arabian cobra. 2 extremely rare and endangered species.
If you're interested in learning something about Geography, I'd suggest Prisoners of Geography, Ten Maps that Explain Everything About the World, by Tim Marshall. its a bit under 300p, and its may shed some light on things you may have considered, but didn't have enough info about to fully grasp the Why.
The Great Wall from England to NZ and to Australia? I'm calling BS on this one 😂😂😂😂😂
The long and winding road. Who said the wall was straight?
@@davidcopson5800 who says a wall to Auckland would be straight and flat? You can't have it both ways champ 🙄
Wanna see a piece of almost unexpected performance art? Watch Devin Townsend do his song Deadhead, Live at Royal Albert Hall… his mind makes music that can engage so many emotions it’s crazy. It’s a brilliant mix of heavy metal, performance art, poetry, singing prowess, humor and deep emotions. I know this isn’t really a music reaction channel but when you asked about performance art, that was the first thing that came to mind. It’s definitely worth a watch in my opinion. Love the channel ✌️❤
Devin Townsend - Kingdom on EMGtv is more memorable (imho)
@@paulmartin2348 I’ll give you that but I haven’t seen anyone react as emotionally to it, as they have to Deadhead 🤷🏻
4:40 I believe he is excluding city-states like Vatican City, Monaco, etc so Nauru would be the smallest place fully considered a country. That's just my thought process.
Kure Atoll is 1,300 miles away from what we usually call Hawaii.
also, "what we usually call Hawaii" wtf does that mean? Are you saying the main islands of Hawaii? Kure Atoll is very much what us informed people call Hawaii
This woman amazes me
The first fact about life expectancy is a bit misleading. Life expectancy at birth in can be very low in poor countries, but this is skewed by a high infant mortality rate. Once children make it past age 5 the figure for life expectancy can increase by 10-15 years, so a more accurate "middle age" in the central african republic is probably somewhere in the 30s.
do you take requests from the comments? I really wanna see you react to Andy Kaufman... i havent seen a lot of reactions to him. Specifically his first appearance as the foreign man on SNL.
11:52 Everest is NOT the world's tallest mountain. Mauna Kea is Hawaii is. Everest stands 29,035 feet above sea level. Mauna Kea only stands 13,796 feet above seal level, but the mountain extends about 19,700 feet below the Pacific Ocean. Over half of it is submerged. That puts the total height of Mauna Kea at about 33,500 feet - nearly a mile taller than Everest.
So what's your point?
You should check out more African facts
"that's probably why I'm not an artist" - that had me rolling in laughter and I can so relate to the sentiment! And, for the record - from what I have seen - I have zero time for performance artists!
@2:22 I am confused, if they have less than half the GDP of California how is 1.8
The Nauru vs Vatican City vs Monaco etc. thing is getting into nitty-gritty definitions of what a country is. VC is an independent state under international law, but it isn't a country. Monaco is a city state; technically a type of country, but one that exists entirely within a single city. Nauru is neither, it has land outside the city walls. Also, Nauru is a Republic, which none of the other small countries are. VC is a monarchy, Monaco is a principality.
If you are still looking for comedy recommendations, I remember this one as being a very entertaining story: "Theo Von - Me and Darryl Strawberry - This Is Not Happening - Uncensored".
can you react to timeline of WW2? :)
the song you're referencing is "How I Became the Bomb - Ulay Oh :)
Northest part of Brazil is closer to canada than it is to it's own southern most part.
Vatican City is a city state. Monaco is a principality.
I would like to see you react to unbiased history of Rome , it would be a nice series for the channel
I'm constantly surprised that people still think middle-aged is around late 40s to early 50s. Like no, the average lifespan of men is roughly 78 years, so middle-aged is actually around 39 years of age. Much younger than people seem to think.
I don't ear anything wrong with the way you pronounced Honduras. 🙂
Portugal, Slovenia and the Czech Republic prove that a country doesn't need to be wealthy and well developed to be safe. 😊
Peter Zeihan visited Joe Rogan a month or two ago, good bits
I didn’t know that! Thank you Traski
If you took the East coast from Boston to Atlanta .How big would that economy be .I think larger Nine cities compared to 6
The movie "The Great Wall" with Matt Damon was quite interesting, for a fictional fantasy flick.
Hey D the city they were talking about was actually land paid for by an American in the bordering areas' in the Middle East were it was no mans land. The American literally built a Kingdom for his daughter he has around 2000 citizens.It was on 60 Minutes a few years ago.
The world's highest recorded air temperature was 134 °F but, since this was in Death Vally, it is also the lowest temperature recorded in the USA.
You seem interested in both history and geography. I just watched a video with both in good measure that I found also found interesting. It's a bit longish (~20min) but it's an informative narrative. Why 80% of New Zealand is Empty - RealLifeLore
1:10 The Nile is NOT the world's longest river. The Amazon is the world's longest river
I checked it and it's been updated to 6,800 kilometers (a 400 km increment compared to the last one). Good to know. Thanks.
I should also drop the length of the Nile river. It's 6,695 km.
6,800 km = 4,225 miles
6,695 km = 4,160 miles
Hi NoProtocol, would you like to react to "Top Hardest Punchers In Boxing History" by Mr SLAV ? Would you like more sports requests or should I slow down with these ? I don't know whether you notice them or not.
I don't like performance arts.
If CA broke off of the US, please do, I would be a determined effort and then broken down over years as nothing.
CA would not be sustainable the way it is today.
Geography Bible is great watch more from him
I think that factoid about the Great Wall of China could only be possible if the total length of the several parallel and overlapping Walls of different dates were added together. Otherwise, no way.
At 1:02 ish the video says the nile is the logest river, i thought the amazon was considered the logest river?
No, it's always been the Nile. Amazon has 70 times the flow, though.
As in:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_river_systems_by_length
Hi, I think The Vatican is a state, not a country. I always thought Luxembourg was the smallest country, i need to check. Anyway love these videos. Thanks.
Bonus Fact (related to #39): From it's East to it's West, from the North to it's South, the largest country in the world is not Russia, but France. As all "overseas territories" of France are considered French soil and not just dependencies or territories, in the way that other countries recognise thier overseas territories.
You don't need an apostrophe in any of those "it's".

Not directly related, but I think you might enjoy the video by Randall Carlson - After Skool entitled "The Lost Record"

Nauru is the smallest country in the world that is not an enclave (8.1 sq m and pop.
Russia is def number 2 or number 1 with lakes
meeting in silence... what a massive emotinal encounter was. I want to see again and I stumbled upon the music version.... what a sacrilege! Put an idiotic pop song on this beautiful silence. Why? Its like shiting on Mona Lisa
Nauru is about 10 times bigger than Monaco.
Monaco is about 4 times bigger than Vatican.
The world's economy is a Pandora's Box of existentialism.
But I can vouch that Luxembourg is indeed filthy rich. My visits there have been an overload of luxury, particularly the wine. The amount of wine that gets passed around at gatherings has damn near killed me multiple times .... and I'm Irish.
Coming back from that, you start to vividly feel how much you and everyone around you struggles to afford things.
You should watch the video how geography made the u.s.a. superpower
Nauru is an interesting island. They used to have a decent GDP from the mining and export of phosphates. The minerals and money's all gone now.
It put them in a bad enough position that they agreed to shelve Australian asylum seekers for a while.
With Nauru he probably means that it's the smallest country that is not city-state
Narau being the smallest country: Monaco & Vatican City are city states not countries
She has my vote for Miss America USA!
Nauru is the world's smallest non-city-state country.
The amazon isn't in brazil. Brazil is in the amazon =)

Can you react to Geography Now India 🇮🇳
I have only watched the first one so far but I immediately thought they made the same misleading conclusion as some do when looking at time periods long ago. If the child mortality rate is high that means average age is low but by mathematical necessity those that survive must live longer than the average. Googling tells me Central African Republic has the third highest child mortality rate in the world (at over 7%). So looking at only the group of people who actually grow up then you would not expect to die at 53 because that number is artificially low due to those dying at, or near, birth. At 7% I'm not sure the picture changes drastically but with child mortality rates throughout history at up to 50% this can make you draw very wrong conclusions sometimes.
I don't get why California having double the GDP of the Nordics is "ridiculous". California is an international business hub. It also has 1.5x the population of the Nordics. Neither unexpected nor crazy.
My wife is from Nepal and from her village you can see Mt. Everest. Tiger attacks are a legitimate threat around the area.
Not an artist *or a spirit-cooker*
Vatican City is a city state, not a Country. So, Nauru is the smallest country.
Nauru is indeed the smallest country in the world if you don't count European city-states ("microstates") like The Vatican, Monaco etc. as proper countries. I don't personally count The Vatican City as a "proper" country because there is no such thing as a permanent Vatican citizen. All Vatican citizens are temporary appointees (and their spouses/children in applicable cases) who lose their citizenship and leave at the conclusion of their appointments. I would personally count Monaco since it has jus sanguinis citizenship laws and people who are born, raised and live their entire lives there, although I agree there are arguments to be made whether a sovereign city state truly counts as a "proper" country. By my reckoning that makes Nauru #2 smallest with a strong case for first place.
forget your pronunciation of Honduras. I will never say Lake the same way again haha.
Oh man, your toes curled up too?! "Laayyyyyk" I can't even spell it!
I'm a bit bothered every time he says "kilometers squared". It's not the same thing as "square kilometers". A million kilometers squared wouldn't fit on the face of Earth (or any of the planets in the solar system for that matter.
I though the Alaskan Aleutian islands were further west than Hawaii.
Hey, i'll just comment🌹🔥..
