It has now officially been one year since I last did a video on my own geography subreddit
And that's because the subreddit kind of took on a life of its own, where it was growing without me
The posts stopped being about me specifically, and were instead just about geography in general
To the point where many of the subreddit members didn't even know who I was
So it just meant that when I was recording a video on the subreddit, I didn't really have that much to contribute
But, seeing as it has officially now been one year, I thought let's look at the top posts of the last 12 months
just because it should be quite interesting either way, and we'll see how long it takes to see something that's actually related to me specifically
So, top post of the year with 1,700 upvotes and over 3,000 comments
is if you had to get rid of an American state, what would it be? In what way are we getting rid of them
Are we, like, literally blowing them up? Because I don't know if I want to commit genocide that early into this video
Do you know what? I'll get rid of Vermont, because I always forget Vermont when I'm trying to name the states
Sorry, Vermont, if you're watching. Top comment was Wyoming because we need a square lake
Ah, okay, so if Wyoming was completely removed, there's just water instead
Yeah, that would look quite cool. Yeah, this is what I'm wondering. What do we mean by get rid of
Turn it into water, turn it into another nation, or make it independent? Like a Minecraft chunker
This person said Florida brackets. I live in Florida. Let's give Hawaii back to the native Hawaiians
Yeah, Hawaii popped into my head just because it seems like the most not USA of the USA
Say anything and I will find a way to connect it to Texas. Alright, we have 1,800 comments again
I never get that many comments on r slash jackstucksitlife, the subreddit that I do weekly videos on on my other channel
Maybe I'm the problem. Alright, anyway, how did he manage to relate things back to Texas
I'll make this extremely hard. Penguins. Penguins are animals in Andatsuka. You know what other geographical location has animals
Texas. That's a bit easy. He did it a bit too easily, you know? This person said Texas and asked to relate Texas back to Texas
And he said, Texas is a state. What else is a state? New Mexico. What borders new mexico texas you've been proven wrong fair enough i'm in the uk
I have no clue it was different the different types of power outlets Ah, look at that the greatest thing to ever come out of the united kingdom is the plug
Look at that free pin perfection The top one is a bit longer and doesn't even conduct electricity. It's purely just for safety
So you don't electrocute yourself. It doesn't get better. Mmm. Look at every single other one. They're all terrible
They're all so flimsy. They just fall out. What's this? What's Australia and China doing with these
And what's Denmark doing? I've never seen anything like it. What the f is that, Italy? Get your sh** together
Let's have a look at Italy's. Whoa, what is going on there
The number of sockets without switches really bothers me. Oh yeah, my god, it's not just normal to have switches like it is in the UK
Yeah, but do all UK sockets have a switch though? Is it a standardized thing? In Australia, we have switches everywhere
I've never seen a socket without a switch. What's the point of having a switch? I'm just really curious. I can't think of anything. I'm from the US where we don't have switches. Why do you not have switches
It's protective measures for children, unnecessary house fires and all-around prevention from complete stupidity
We have three holes in the UK. The top is to open the bottom two. Oh, yeah, that's another thing
The reason that this one at the top is longer is because it pushes a little contraption in the back of a socket
which allows the bits that electricity to go through to connect and prevents like children from just shoving forks in the socket holes and
electrocuting themselves because they can't do it unless they've unlocked it from the top. Oh, it's just genius
Anyway, back to switches. A switch also saves money. Switches are efficient energy savers
whilst easy to forget for foreigners here in the UK are very energy aware due to the cost of energy being higher
Yeah, a switch is the most logical thing ever. It just allows you to turn something off when you're not using it
So it's not used electricity. How do people not have switches Do people in the US just have everything on all of the time This is blowing my mind Guys what will you call this country And they combined the USA and Norway
In Norway, bro. Hahaha. What's happening here? There must be some joke I don't understand
Guys, what's that red thing between Spain and Germany? And then, if you scroll down, anyone know this thing between Spain and Germany
I don't- I don't get it. It's France. What- what's the joke
Guess which country I live in based on this map? These are countries you don't live in and this is the country you do live in
Okay. And you wonder why I stopped making videos on the subreddit. Keep in mind that I've been recording 14 minutes now and we are yet to get to a post that has anything to do with me
It's literally called Jack Sucks at Geography. When you live in a small country and see someone mention it on the internet
Oh my god. Maybe I'll get a mention in the comments somewhere. Not even a small country, but us Brazilians are summoned when someone says our name
Oh, yes! You did not use the Jack template. Finally! I have one brief tiny, tiny mention
Okay, let's see how long it takes before we get another one. Bro, this person's been blocked by NATO
What do you do to get blocked by NATO? They've not shared what they did
I really want to know. Which US state flag is the best
Ooh. I like the ones down here. I like Colorado. I like New Mexico
I think there's just something cool about the designs. Also, the California one's pretty iconic as well
But I would maybe be tempted to say New Mexico, you know. I'm undecided though
I'm undecided. Top comment is Arizona. Okay, let's have a look at Arizona. I think that's that one, isn't it? That's in the area of flags that I said I liked
New Mexico by far. Okay, I'm glad that other people seem to agree with me
I combined all 198 flags into one flag. What do you think? Whoa. Oh my goodness. That deserves an enhanced enhanced
Oh, look at this. Look at all the different types of stars. So we've got the bird insect thing from Papua New Guinea
We've got Kenya's shield. We've got Lebanon's tree. ah albania have done well with the the two-headed eagle right in the center and then above it we've
got lichtenstein's crown is that san marino's crown or vatican city's crown i don't know well
this is actually epic you know look at it everywhere it all looks pretty cool together
doesn't it dominica's little parrot still got the ugly white background on the haiti flag though
that's a shame i like seeing all the different stars as well i love this this should be the flag
of the world un new logo agreed i both hate and love this idea yeah in reality people would
probably kick off about like their position whereabouts they were located and stuff probably
be way too complicated but it does look really nice ah i've just noticed that like the guyana
triangles and timoles triangles and stuff it's so nice find the two correct flags oh we've got a
challenge okay we've got loads of flags that are not in the correct place you've also shoved some
like potatoes in ireland and stuff uh it's probably somewhere in the balklands right let's have a look
So we've got Yugoslavia instead of Croatia. So this is Serbia, but you've whacked Brazil there
So you've put Serbia in, what's that, Montenegro? I can't find the correct flags
Where's the correct flags? Is this correct? Is that, um, Slovakia or Slovenia
I always forget and people get angry about it. I think it's Slovakia, maybe, possibly
Oh, I was wrong. Apparently it's Georgia and Andorra. Ah, so Georgia's just slipped into the corner and Andorra's so tiny
Look at it down there. It's like it's in the bear's ass. That's so difficult. Europeans, hmm, I wonder why Americans don't travel much, until you realize that the entire continent of Europe fits comfortably into the United States
Which country has the most attractive men according to Europe? Whoa, so almost all of Europe say Italy
But the Italians say Sweden, which works out well because Sweden says Italy as well
We got a few Spains we got a few Brazils we got no United Kingdoms though Okay cool Okay as I continue to scroll through these posts I am reminded why I stopped doing these videos every month I just don have that much to say you know guess the flag I made out of candy It Sweden
Okay, cool. Oh This looks more fun to be fair. Guess the country so first letter wait, hang on. They're all the same flag. Oh, you're just spelling Laos
Right. Getting a comment from every county in USA. There are so many counties in the USA, but you have 2.2 thousand comments
Delaware County, Ohio. Look at this. Look at everyone posting. Cumming, Georgia
Yes, it's real. Norfolk County, Hymer County, Arizona, Marion County. I'm curious
I wonder how far we actually ended up getting. Can I get a comment from every state
That's probably a bit more achievable. Top comment is Canada. United States of America, United States, US
or USA? I think I go USA the most. That's probably what I would do. The US of A is also an option
Yeehaw. The flag of Kuwait looks like a 3D room. Whoa, I have literally never thought that
but you've changed the way I look at this flag forever. What's your favorite flag? Oh
this is interesting. So you've merged South American flags. So Argentina plus Argentina
obviously just makes the standard Argentina flag, but Argentina with a bit of Brazil mixed in
creates this fellow, which is kind of cool looking. Chile and Argentina look quite good
It gets a bit wackier as we head over to Uruguay. For example, Colombia and Uruguay, not a good color combination
I do not like that at all. A lot of the Uruguay ones don't really work, in my opinion
The Colombia ones are quite cool, like Colombia Chile. I don't know, I quite like that
I'm a big fan. The Brazil ones are kind of weird when you can't see the planet
but it looks good there, I think. You know what? I feel like all of these flags look better as their own flags
What's your favorite type of flag? I think border looks best. Border looks best
Nah, no way. The ones with just like white or a different color on the outside
Not a fan at all. You're crazy with that one. I do like a pal, if that's how it's pronounced
As well as a chevron. I think I'm just a lover for the diagonals. What's the top comment
I like the Scandinavian cross. That's fair enough. Yeah, it's cool. It's different
It's kind of iconic, isn't it? I tried drawing the USA from memory. Rate 1 to 10
Probably better than what I could do. Actually, I have tried to draw the US before
And it's definitely much, much better. Countries that drive on the left side of the road from what I know
It's not that many, is it? The UK is one of them. It's basically just a lot of places that the UK has messed with in the past
But yeah, far more of the world driving the right. Why is this so accurate how aliens see Earth in movies and it's just the United States
Yeah. True size of Brazil in Europe. It is... Wait, that's not Brazil
That's the US. What is happening here? I can't trust this somewhere at all
You got me thinking real hard here. Any big brainers? Can you guess one bordering country from South Korea
Okay, it's obviously North Korea. but I think this is a good opportunity for a Jack's Geography interlude
Oh, I don't immediately know it. Got some straight edges though, so I'm thinking somewhere in Africa
Let's whack down Sudan to begin with, just so we can get an idea
Okay, nowhere near Sudan. So is it South American then? Is it like, yeah, I think it could be like Paraguay or something
I'm going to try Paraguay. Paraguay's closer. It's the scale that throws you off because this could be a tiny country
So this might be somewhere hang on 5 000 kilometers Southwest no northwest is central america way closer than that. I don't know
I'm gonna try nicaragua just so I can get an idea of scale. No, it isn't we're 600 kilometers away now
So I mean i've just got to work my way through them guatemala next let's try it. Let's go for it. Yes
We got there in the end. Yeah, see when I say country like this, I always assume it's somewhere
ginormous like the size of Zimbabwe or something but obviously it was much smaller at Guatemala You get to choose two people to put their faces on Mount Rushmore Who are they Hey guys What about maybe Jack look geography face could go up there seems this is his subreddit
Maybe someone could suggest that. Oh someone did suggest my dogs Flossy and Cog. Well, I'm happy with that
I have scrolled to the bottom, but we do have Jack and pretty woman kitchen good top comment is just someone wanting themselves up there twice
Fair enough. I get that. Oh, we have an actual post that is about me
Hey, come on guys, Jack has to get this shirt to 225 upvotes and they wanted me to get a Seychelles shirt
It's a terrible post, but it's an actual post about me on my own subreddit
I've never been prouder. Something feels wrong about this picture. Oh my God, there's so many products like this that are just so unbelievably inaccurate
I mean, there's so many notable places missing like New Zealand, Madagascar, but also so many shapes are wrong and what the hell's that up above Australia
Who is that? Are you sure about that chat GPT? What countries have an O at the start
Some countries that start with the letter O include Oman, Austria, and Oman
Nailed it, chat GPT. Fair play. Whoa, guess where I'm from based on the European cities I can name
11,000. No. That is absolutely insane. UK and Italy are most populated
I'm gonna go with UK, I guess. That's crazy. Is that real
They didn't cheat. They did it over several months, apparently. How? How
Yeah, they are indeed from the UK. Damn, you're a genius. Yeah, fair enough photographic memory or something tell me country and I will tell you how much I like it
All right, we'll have a look mf did not respond to a single comment. That's crazy. What the hell
Why would he not respond? Why would he post this to get 690 comments and then be like nah change my mind
Sorry guys Why doesn't the united kingdom flag already look like this and you've combined all of the nations that looks crazy
I'm up for it though. Why not how presidents travel so in the us they're surrounded by security russia
lots of security too. France, uh, he's waving, but still loads of security. Estonia, little scooter
Oh, here we go, he was a post about me. Me and my friends drew a flag for every letter of the
English alphabet, Kanjak guessed them all. Yeah, surely I can do that. Algeria, Botswana, Chad
Denmark, Estonia, France, uh, Guinea, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Maldives, namibia oman palau katar uh republic of the congo switzerland tuvalu ukraine vietnam yemen
and zimbabwe oh could be zambia no zimbabwe oh it was zambia i ruined it at the end
how many countries have you guys been to i have been to you know a reasonable amount but i i don't
think i've left the uk since 2018 which is crazy really i need to get back on it but i've probably
been to about 10 countries over the course of my whole life, so I still have lots and lots of
traveling to do. This person's been to 16. That's a good spread, I reckon. Ah, well, if we're counting
Scotland and Wales, then that gives me an extra couple as well. Zero. Broad doesn't exist. Whoa
I've been to 36. Most of that was for work. That's pretty crazy. Look at that. What a list. That is
some traveling. If you're wondering what their job was, they did marketing for an international
charity, so they were sent around the world to get photos and videos and stuff. Oh, that's cool
Alright, well scrolling through this, I feel like we've probably exhausted what I can say
So thank you very much for watching. I suppose I'll leave the subreddit in the description
Feel free to start a civil war where we attempt to regain control of our own subreddit
But also don't bother if you don't want to. Either way, perhaps this is an opportunity to do these videos slightly more regularly if people want to see them
I don't know, let me know in the comments. I will see you later. Bye bye bye bye bye
I'm waving and I am putting my hand over the mic. See ya
