It would be nice if there were a year attached to this. Is this supposed to be based on the current day? Or was this map put together several years ago?

There should at least be a decade listed, as birth trends today aren’t going to be identical to trends from the recent past. For example, China only ended their “one child policy” in 2016. If this map were made before that, it might need an update by now.

Maps without New Zealand

Chances of this being the most useless infographic to ayone: 94%

Yet Americans act like they're 90% of the world and no one and nothing outside the US matters.

It' all they know.

I'm not so sure I would trust any statistics from a map that's missing New Zealand.

hawaians are also mourning the loss

I think those chances vary a lot based on where your parents live.

How can an island be split between two continents?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Same way Russia can be split in two continents I suppose.

Should really define it based on something more concrete like fault lines

True, Europe doesn't actually exist, just like Oceania. It is all Asia.

It used to be all Africa until the Suez incident

Fellow Antarctican?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Ok, now make this but per land area.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Technically Antarctica isn't 0. There's a civilian colony and at least one baby has been born there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Also there's penguins being born down there.

You never specified humans...

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago

11 people were born there. That's a ~0.00000000133649348822 chance. Small but not impossible.

Eh it rounds down at that point
