Okay, so allow me to explain the Steamed Hams lore: It is from the Simpsons episode "22 Short Films About Springfield". Principal Skinner invites Superintendent Chalmers to his home for a luncheon. However, he accidentally burnt his roast and knows Chalmers is on his way, so he sneakily goes to Krusty Burger and pass it off as his own. But Chalmers walks in as he climbs through the window to escape, so Skinner says he's getting rid of the smoke from the steamed "clams". Chalmers corrects him that it's steam, but he buys the lie anyway and leaves the kitchen, allowing Skinner to escape. Skinner returns with a plate of hamburgers, with Chalmers confused as he thought it was clams. Skinner says that he said steamed HAMS and that it's a regional dialect. Chalmers asks where, and Skinner says Upstate New York. Chalmers reveals he's from Utica and that he's never heard of hamburgers being called that. Skinner corrects him that it's an Albany expression. Chalmers notices that the burgers are the exact way Krusty Burger makes them and that they aren't steamed, they're grilled. Skinner, cornered, goes to the kitchen and noticed he forgot to turn off the oven...causing the whole kitchen to go on fire. When Skinner tries to rush Chalmers because of it, Skinner says that it's "Aurora borealis" in his kitchen. He is convinced.
Bit more on the sparrow war in China. Basically as George said they started it because of sparrows eating some crops but after the massive cull they realised that sparrow ate more locusts than crops and by killing so any sparrows there wasn't any predators for the locusts so instead of killing a few thousand sparrows they had to kill billions of locusts those sparrows would have killed anyway.
To explain the italy one; theres an insane amount of dialects in italy, like literally almost every little town, each of which would have a different word for it. I call it mussa at time, which you can find in liguria in the top left
love how bewildered people get when they learn just how many saunas there are in Finland fun fact most apartment complexes have a public sauna for it's residents on the top floor (sometimes in the basement in old buildings) where you can have a certain time on a certain day reserved for you. This is if your apartment itself doesn't already have a smaller private sauna, which a lot do
My guess as to why the US uses MM/DD/YYYY is that that’s the order you say it when you spell it out (October 12th, 2022). But DD/MM/YYYY still makes more sense when just using numbers.
And no, the actual country of Chad doesn't have buff people walking around all over the place. Chad is ranked at the very BOTTOM of the Human Development Index, there's intercommunal clashes, terrorism, and it's one of the most corrupt countries around. And regarding Italy, it's not just regional dialects of Italian itself. Italian is a part of the Italo-Dalmation languages, and it's not the only language within it! Italian may be the only official language of the country, but it's not the only language spoken there! There's also Tuscan, Central Italian, Emilian, Sardinian, Venetian, Sicilian, and others. Though the general population likes to refer to these languages as dialects.
@@gamesandglory1648 I… have no idea honestly? Maybe they’ll revise those laws bc some people are legally male but can still have kids, so there would have to be a lot of fine print 😭
Thanks to the editor for constantly cutting away from the maps so that we can see a hat, a bandana and some glasses in all of their full screen glory. I had to watch at 50% speed to even vaguely take in anything that George was reacting to... and I had to listen to him talking like it's a crap scene from a lazy movie that wants to show you that 'someone is tripping'.

1:37 idk why we use the month-day-year format either, but my personal theory is because it aligns more with how you usually say a date out loud. Like when telling someone the date you usually say "January 1st" instead of "the first of January" (at least in the US). I don't actually know that's just my theory.
Might be how YOU say a date out loud mate! 😠 ... I'm joking, I'm chill! But yeah, in the UK we would usually say "the first of January" (but I don't think anyone would really notice if someone said it the American way either). I only disovered recently that British ppl also read long numbers (like phone or credit card numbers) different to people in the usa!
The whole MMDDYY format was actually due to the British. They started it first and obviously the colonies also used it. The biritish later on changed but America kept it.
The screwdrivers one is complete crap. In Australia you turn things clockwise to tighten/screw in things. no idea where that map came from but has never been true.
For anyone wondering about the China sparrow thing, the long and short of it was that the chinese government declared war on mosquitos because of malaria, rats and pigeons because of plague, and sparrows because they ate seeds out of sown crop fields. It was a very widespread campaign that utterly decimated the chinese sparrow populations, however the chinese government failed to realize that while the sparrow ate crop seeds, it mainly ate insects like locusts. With little to no sparrows left to perform population control, the locust population boomed to massive levels and caused more devastation to the crops than the sparrows ever could, which led to the great chinese famine of 1960-61, the most devastating famine in human history. So in an effort to prevent famine, Mao Zedong caused the biggest famine.
Yes many many people died from China killing so many sparrows, as they were already struggling before but the sparrows were keeping the insects under control.
so for non australians: it is not an urban myth. our former prime minister, scott morrison, did indeed shit himself in an engadine maccas. he denies it, but the people know the truth
Hey George, Australian here. The reason we call football soccer here is because we have another sport called Aussie Rules Football (or AFL) a lot of people still call it football.
How did he not get the steamed hams reference it’s extremely iconic and the best Albany expression any I gotta go there’s aurora borealis in my kitchen
The U.S. is designed so poorly because of the car industry. They played a huge part in city planning while the interstate system was being introduced in the 50's, and they wanted to make it as inconvenient as possible for people to live without cars in America.
They also literally invented the term "jaywalking" and ran huge newspaper campaigns promoting it to shift the blame about the massive amounts of pedestrian deaths by reckless drivers from the drivers to the pedestrians. And it somehow worked.
us aussies call your football soccer cause we have football AND soccer. soccer is the round ball with hexagons and footy is the weird shaped one thats kinda like an oval.
Finland actually has even more sauna's not just public ones.. almost every house has a sauna. If a house does not have a sauna i doubt it will sell very well
mao ordered the chinese to kill all the sparrows but then all the bugs that the sparrows normally would have eaten started overpopulating and totally destroyed the crop.
As someone who is from America, I just want to say: I don't fucking understand why Football is called Soccer, and our version of Football is called Football- when the entire game is holding and throwing the ball and tackling & chasing each other like idiots. The only time the foot ever touches the ball is when they do a goal kick. Football in America should really just be called Tackle Ball or Barbarian Ball or Get-Concussions Ball- because that's what it is.
I'm not the only one under 30 in this country that knows what Oman is without being from there only cause I liked my Geography teacher and studied google maps even though we mainly learned about south america, biomes and rock formations on Victoria falls BY WATCHING UP 😎
You're wrong about A4 paper the A4 paper size is the only paper size that retains its shape whether you double it or cut in half. And A0 is a perfect 1 m^2. For more info Watch CGP Grey's video on Metric Paper.
"I went to small town America and there were 10 lanes of traffic." That's not small town America then. Small town America is two lane road with like a traffic light or two.
Sweet potatoes here during thanksgiving have marshmallows in them. Idk why people would do that but it's an abomination. Also, green bean casserole is so good. Idk why people would hate it.
In New Jersey and Rhode Island incest is legal, but you can't marry them. So its weird how you can marry your first cousin but not your immediate family. At that point you met as well go all the way.

Don’t think George knows we can legally marry our first cousin in the UK too
I wish I never knew that
My state doesn't have that problem.
Wha!? I thought we were better than that u_u
Its actually legal in most european countrys as these laws are rarely touched upon, even though it should probably be banned.
Yep, my mums aunt and uncle are first cousins, they married in the 50s or 60s idk

then millions starved Chinese history always has the end result of millions die. like that war with the guy who said he was Jesus' brother
Chinese history is always "millions perished".
Love that the conclusion of what a public sauna is, is that it’s a public sauna. Great content yet again, George!

we go on holiday every year and I'd say 55% of our time is in a sauna
Haha we got a LOT of saunas over here in Sweden too (Probably so our eastern homies feel at home)

You can’t say anything
Does George not know what sweet potatoes are??
The requirements for cousin marriage are often that you’re either too old to have kids or one of the couple is sterile 💀
So it allows people to marry their cousin as long as they don’t have any inbr*d kids?
does being gay work? I mean, that also doesn't result in children.
@@gamesandglory1648 I… have no idea honestly? Maybe they’ll revise those laws bc some people are legally male but can still have kids, so there would have to be a lot of fine print 😭

Oh pardon him for showing that he genuinely reacts to what he's seeing. There's a clue in the name: "reaction video".
The reason why we call it Soccer is because Australia already has its own Football, most people call it "Footy"
Oh shit! George is catching on to out Steamed Hams. Quickly! We must hide the Aurora Borealis in the kitchen!
Distract him by stretching your calves!
