Carbon dioxide posted:For years, a park somewhere in NL had, in Google maps, not the actual name of the park, but a set of two names that I'm reasonably certain must've been the names of the two ponies that lived in a pen in the middle of the park. Google maps has a thing where you can send in corrections, I think I tried that once or twice but they just ignored it. there's a building near me that has a stupid name on google maps. I've sent in corrections a few times over the past year but it's still the same and it's infuriating

A company that laid everyone in my branch office off was, a year later, still trying to act like that branch was still open. I notified Google Maps that the office was indeed closed and they updated it the same day. Revenge, uh, I guess.

Does that map assume that everyone in Western Europe is speaking... Basque variants? I thought the Etruscan language was thought to be non Indo European?

I like that the maps explanation of itself is actually contradictory to what it depicts: it says 'what if they never left their homeland but basically every hypothetical homeland is also on the map.

There are a lot of problems with that map but Iceland being inhabited by Inuits isn't accurate. There's no evidence of human habitation in Iceland before the Irish monks that predated the viking sttlement.

Hmm, yes, Old Europe's indigenous Turkic people. Though where the hell are those names coming from? I recognize names relating to Raetia, Carantania, Gallia Narbonensis and Iberia, also Euskal = Basque and Rasnal = Etruscan but "Eutan", "Iken", "Skalka", "Skiri"? The cities in "Skalka" all seem to be names of rivers takes from different sources, but no idea what is going on in Britain for example.

neamp posted:Hmm, yes, Old Europe's indigenous Turkic people. https://pastebin.com/ELK9qULk Have fun, as the guy who did that map had. Now of course that map is inaccurate as hell especially about those Inuits in Iceland which is totally whoopedoo but I guess it's supposed to be an alternate reality taking place on present-day where PIE people didn't exist/ever got out of their homeland, Turkic peoples still went into Europe and Arabs didn't for some reason? I kinda admire the research the author made for supposedly pre-IE names though.

Squalid posted:It's really not. Compare with a map of % African-Americans: there's really no reason why metro atlanta would be blood red but northeast georgia be slightly blue without the black angle here. northeast georgia is super white and deeply religious really this is just one of those statistical_noise.jpg maps because it's not like the church<-->beer spectrum is oppositional

I think I've solved this puzzling enigma: It's just correlated with religiosity. The fact that it's "beer" as the comparison is irrelevant. You could put "wine" or "sodomy" or anything with a sufficiently high occurrence rate and get pretty much the same map.

The beer vs. church tweet data is also only a single week of data and it doesn't look like it's screening out anything, so things like Church's Chicken would count as church as well.

Probably LA County. That map would be much more useful per capita, since it's basically populationdensity.png as is.

i tracked down the data (it's Churches and Church Membership in the United States, 1990. Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, University of Connecticut) and the top five counties in terms of number of churches are pretty much what you would expect 1. Los Angeles, CA - 3536 2. Cook, IL - 2181 3. Harris, TX - 1361 4. Maricopa, AZ - 1266 5. Kings, NY - 1147

LA county is also incredibly diverse with every major religion/sect on the planet as well as smaller independent churches, new age cults, and native language churches for a hundred different immigrant communities. Once you start counting things like the weird Adventist splinters that meet in strip malls and Hmong language parishes it adds up.

New England might not be so much irreligious as it is full of liberal Protestants with the "a church isn't a building" mindset. Some of my relatives are like that.
