Well, with Ireland it's not just expats since English is the main language of the country, and the internet does tend to have an english bias in general.

How it works is that the methodologies of all of those maps are often a) English language search terms (so it’s a map of expats) b) split tens of thousands of ways (so the “winner” might be, like 100 searches instead of 50, and is certainly not stable across time periods) and c) with methodology that is either not described in detail or is not appropriate to the question at hand

But since the map is just “ha ha what’s up with Location X” clickbait, none of that matters

Actually, when using an English language website, with English language content, I tend to search in English, since the results I'm looking for are in fact in English. This is despite me being Danish. I haven't actually tried searching for "elleve tær" or whatever specific kink I have on PornHub, but I'm pretty sure I'd get more results by writing "Eleven toes".

Not saying the statistics aren't bullshit, but presumably they represent multiple searches from multiple persons, otherwise they'd be way more specific.

yes i am aware that people in ireland speak english and people often use english terms on english websites. my point is that the immediate thing you want to do when you see maps like that (or the "what is each country's least favorite movie?" "what is each state's favorite halloween candy?" equivalents) is go "huh, how come location X has result Y, is it because Z?" and the methodologies of such maps, especially those powered by search results or analytics, do not strongly support causal reasoning of that form

Wait, that scumbag Malcom Kyeyune who has made a career out of trying to recruit leftists to fascism was a goon? He ran a blog in Swedish called "tinkzorg" and now he writes for right-wing sites in English trying to convince people that ultranationalism, anti-immigration, and transphobia are just the thing to liberate the working class.

if he was an LF superstar who got permad and kept coming back, suddenly a lot of things about him make more sense lmao

I've got a canadian atlas from I want to say 1938 that does the same thing.

It's almost all just contemporary maps or 20s skylines of famous cities but then you turn to the charts page and among the most populous countries is "Germany (and Austria)" and it's like oh, oh no

It says on the bottom 1942. So it was printed while Holland was part of the axis.

That makes it sound like it was voluntary.

It was printed by the propaganda bureau of the nazi occupiers & their NSB friends.
