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, seen 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 chunk error. 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. All right, 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. All right, anyway, how did he manage to relate things back to Texas
I'll make this extremely hard. Penguins. Penguins are animals in Antarctica. 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 board is new mexico texas you've been proven wrong fair enough i'm in the uk
I had 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
Mmm, 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 also 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. Well, theref is that Italy. Get your shit 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 electrocute 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 switch is the most logical together it just allows
you to turn something off when you not using it so it not used electricity how do people not have switches 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. 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 get it. It's France. 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 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. Oh 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
Timor-Leste 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. It's probably somewhere in the Balkans, 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 Slovakia or Sweeney? 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 is so tiny. Look at it down there. It's like 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
The Italians say Sweden which works out well because Sweden says Italy as well. We've 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 stop doing these videos every month I just don have that much to say You know guess the flag I made out of candy
It's 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 the 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 coming Georgia. Yes, it's Norfolk County, I'm a 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. Yee-haw
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? Ooh, 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 fella, which is kind of cool looking
Chile and Argentina look quite good. 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 one to ten probably better than what i could do actually
i have tried to draw the us before and it's definitely much much better countries to 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 work 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 gonna try Paraguay Paraguay is 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 a 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 sucks geography face could go up there seeing as this is his subreddit maybe someone
could suggest that oh someone did suggest my dog's 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 i get that we have an actual post that
is about me come on guys jack has to get this shirt 225 upvorts 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 else 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 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 a country and I will tell you how much I like it. Alright, we'll have a look
MF did not respond to a single comment. That's crazy. What the hell, man? Why would he not respond? Why would he post this
They get 609 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, he's waving, but still loads of security. Estonia
little scooter. Oh, here we go. Here was a post about me. Me and my friends drew a flag for every
letter of the English alphabet. Can Jack guess them all? Yeah, surely I can do that. Algeria
Botswana, Chad, Denmark, Estonia, France, Guinea, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Maldives, Namibia, Oman, Palau, Qatar, uh, Republic of the Congo, Switzerland, Tuvalu, Ukraine, Vietnam
Yemen, and Zimbabwe. Ooh, could be Zambia. Nah, Zimbabwe. Ah, it was Zambia. I ruined it at the end
Ah, how many countries have you guys been to? I have been to, you know, a reasonable amount
but I, 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 still have lots
and lots of traveling to do this person 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 bro 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. All right, 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 leaving and I am putting my hand over the mic
See you
