In Turkey because everyone drinks tea they just give it to you without asking. People drink so much tea that you can drink tea in a hairdresser. Tea is like water in Turkey. You just drink it every day.
Oh so it’s like the South with Sweet Tea. I’m starting to Motive stuff about tea that is just, “why do you drink that much.” International Tea Association anyone?
I normally don't drink tea (not that it is terrible, like coffee is). But it was the polite thing to do when I visited Turkey. As the saying goes, "When in Rome...."
There are more Spanish people in Mexico then Spain ,there are more Irish people in America then of Ireland itself , there are more Mongolian people in China then of Mongolia
It's more about Portuguese ancestry. Keep in mind that this doesn't necessarily reflects phenotype. For example: my state (Piauí) is listed as having predominant native and african ancestry, while Bahia is listed as predominantly Portuguese. When it comes to population, though, Bahia is the most african influenced state in Brazil, both in population and culture. Still a cool map that I had never seen before 😁
Fun fact: Portugal was a main importer of tea to Europe but never developed a serious habit of drinking it. It was more like a high society snob thing. When Catarina de Bragança married the King of England in 1662 she brought with her the habit to have tea in the afternoon. British nobility loved all those exquisite Asian porcelain and etiquette. It became a hit in all Britain's high society and still is verifiable in 2021.
I was going to say I found the outlet map the most useful. But as an Australian I think the last one is most important, particularly after the bushfires wiped out so many native animals last year. Hopefully the map is still true.
In Turkey,tea wasnt popular before 1930s.Coffe was the most popular drink but we couldnt grow them in our lands so Atatürk brought tea from russia and planted them at black sea region.We gained nice drink and also less dependent economy
As someone who resides in central Wisconsin, the majority of people in this part of the country have Polish heritage. We even have the polish heritage highway. I have met a number of Polish immigrants fishing the Wisconsin river as well, they’re some of the nicest/ friendly people.
Basically Chicago is the Polish capital of the US. Any areas around Chicago has large Polish communities. Wisconsin has the biggest cities close to Chicago so naturally a lot of Poles are also there. Northern Indiana to the east of Chicago also has a lot of Polish people. It's a much less populous area than southern Wisconsin though.
Belgium is wrong in the map of universities. Ghent is depicted as the oldest one, while it's actually the University of Leuven that is much older and just also very old compared to others.
@@Gfynbcyiokbg8710 It was indeed in continuous operation. But I didn't know that there were actually four different. The only thing I could think off why it would a university from pretty recent, is because of the fact that the university "split" (kind of) in the middle of the 20th century and became Dutch-speaking (The French speaking went somewhere else).
@@michelleken. KU Leuven says they're the continuation of the original 1425 university but since there was no university for 20 years after 1797 in Leuven and since they are technically different universities I guess it doesnt count
210-240 Volt or something like that, there is a range, and there are both regular and grounded outlets shown, pluss the smaller slim outlets used for small cargers and lamps and stuff that are low on watt.
@@General.Knowledge It seems possible that if wave of migration from Montenegro coincided with the gold rush, that could lead to a disproportion (especially in such a sparsely populated state). But that's only speculation.
In Morocco, which is not an Arab country btw, this is a stereotype, we right from left to right too. In addition to Arabic and Darija, we use French and Tamazight, the last two languages are read from left to right
@9:06 The reason why they are color grouped but look slightly different in North America, but similar enough to group (e.g., an extra, missing, or false prong) is the ground wire and dual purpose for partial reverse compatibility. All North American (A&B) electrical outlets require at minimum 2 wires (A), hot (+) and neutral (-), but if the device being used requires a ground-wire (B), then the plug will have 3 prongs. Think of two devices: your refrigerator (B/3-wire ) and cell phone (A/2-wire) could work using the B/3-wire outlet to work, but you could not plug a refrigerator (B) into a 2-wire (A) outlet because the manufacturer or electrical code requires the 3rd wire for grounding the device.
From the little I can remember about electrical outlets, any of the outlet types that are grounded (like type B) are ideal in most situations. Many older homes in the US use type A but all new homes use type B. So in the pursuit of universal outlets there should be an effort for an outlet that is grounded.
The outlets for the US, Japan and other orange countries have two because the older type, the two pronged, aren't grounded while the three pronged are. You can use a three pronged on a two with an adapter. That said we also have different plugs for our stoves and driers(and a few others) that have three but in a different layout from the 120v, their are even 4 pronged plugs.
you sounded like you doubt the first tea consumption map but if i were you i'd just watch a tourists turkey journey and see how he gets offered tea everywhere
Just before my country's Revolutionary War of Independence, (in reference to the United States of America), American patriots dressed up like a bunch of Native American's and boarded British trade ships that were carrying literally hundreds, if not thousands of pounds of tea, and poured them over to the side of said ships directly into Boston harbor. This obviously was the biggest middle finger my American forefathers can think of getting back at their British overlords at the time, and I'm sure the British considered it the most of barbaric of acts aside from probably violating the Queen herself, but hey us Yanks were properly pissed off by that point. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party
Platypus was the most useful, as I’m writing a book and needed to know what climate they lived in, so thank you for helping me while I was procrastinating xD
8:56 The reason they grouped them together is probably to reduce the number of countries that have to be mixed in color to being only China (that I can see). For example, both the A and B types are common in the USA, though B is much more common for outlets, even though many plugs are of type A, which can plug into either A or B outlets.
9:00 - I lived in Italy 20 years ago and there were three different variations in the house. My electrical life depended on having the right combination of adapters.
The electrical outlet one might be slightly inaccurate as I live in the UAE and I have never seen someone use any of the light blue outlets. The outlets are actually more similar to the the purple one.
An answer to your question of "why the world doesn't use the same electrical outlet": Because of market reserve. Each country wants to protect their market of electrical appliances from foreign brands. So if you want to sell to the US you have to comply to their own specifications, i.e. you shouldn't be able to just purchase a container of British microwaves and sell them in Brazil. Voltage and frequency is also used for that. The Americas are almost all 110V 60Hz, but Japan is 100V. So appliances made in America cannot be sold to Japan and vice-versa
as someone from new jersey, i'm shocked by the europe map based on immigrant population percentages in US states. i've never met an austrian, estonian, or turkish person, & SO many new jerseyans boast their italian heritage! i would've thought they made up a decent chunk of our population. but then again, these "italians" often have never been to italy, have no relatives in italy, have no living relatives that immigrated from italy, & don't speak italian, so they're mostly talking about more distant heritage.
4:25 Historically some languages used to alternate every line between left to right and right to left. So you'd go from left to right, then go down to the next line and go right to left with inverted letters and go right to left, then at the end go down and left to right again. Not sure if the latin ones ever did that, possibly Carthagian? I don't remember, but I know it *was* a thing back in history...
We use different outlets because innovators in each area invented their own outlets independently, without having any idea of what was being done elsewhere. Changing would require almost everyone replacing not just all their wall outlets but also either rewiring or replacing all their appliances.
Wall outlets are different because each country has their own safety and effective measures. Us uses 120v outlets which have thicker wires for safety. While EU has 220v i think and thinner wires, so trading safety away for effectiveness
I was in the Business world for over 30 years and legal size which is much bigger than A4. Legal size is widely used. There is between 1/4 inch and 3/4 inch difference between letter and A4, not a big difference. Printer and copy machine trays are made to fit A4. But I have to say that I wish the U.S used the metric system like its neighbors, it's just more accurate.
The Vatican, which I believe controlled Rome at the time, made the Gregorian calendar. Was it done post empire? Of course. Does it still count though? I would argue yes.
According to Oxford University it was established in 1096, not 1187. The oldest Universities in the UK are - Oxford 1096 Cambridge 1209 St Andrews 1410 Glasgow 1451 Aberdeen 1495.
The early Mormon cult sent missionaries to the UK to supply English speaking converts and increase it's Utah population. Once enough had migrated the missionary work continue and expanded across the world.
if you’ve been to wisconsin you’d be surprised that norway isn’t wisconsin. the area that one the branches of my family’s has lived at is completely norwegian in both culture and cuisine.
Awesome I always enjoy your videos, but that one specially was so light and broad, perfect! . Also your own comments sounded very reasonable and personal, great job, it was very fun to watch! Ótimo conteúdo, todos os seus vídeos são extremamente educativos, didáticos e de fácil compreensão, mas na minha opinião acrescentar mapas sobre a distribuição de ornitorrincos só porque são super interessantes ou o mapa sobre as tomadas deram um caráter menos circunspecto ao vídeo, mais leve e divertido!
7:25 hard doubt on that, would be the first time the us decided to do something funky that was actually better than what all us normal people are using
