The way the captions are worded makes it look less like "I think this is a good idea!" and more "I think this could totally happen, guys". It's a different kind of dumb.

Plus immigrants from Latin American countries, or descendents thereof, are mostly Catholic. I imagine we contribute quite a bit to that.

I actually expected Korea to be just a shade darker, more in line with China and Russia. Good to see, I guess. For content, I liked this one as a variation on goofy relabels, Comic Sans aside:

Haha yeah, I live in Korea and my first thought seeing that chart is that SK should be much lower on the Y-axis; I'd argue even lower than the US.

Deltasquid posted:I thought about this but surely Turkey would've been on this map of Persian influence. But it certainly seems centered on Iran. Are you sure it's centered on Iran? I notice the color is a gradient, darkest in Pakistan/NE India. Could be something that sprang out from that region.

The whole ROC/PRC/China/Taiwan thing is one of the best examples of how a political situation in reality can be at the mercy of a political fiction (or rather, several incompatible fictions) that's largely detached from reality. Or rather, why politically-loaded maps are made to begin with.

Count Roland posted:I eat at a bunch of Korean restaurants in my city (and always have a tub of kimchi around), and as far as I can tell almost all Korean food is stews? Maybe its just the places I go to. Stews and soups make up a big chunk of Korean cuisine, but there's other stuff like the aforementioned naengmyeon (cold noodles) and bibimbap, among a bunch of other things. If the stews and soups you're trying are like 75% inedible stuff (usually bones, maybe shells if it's seafood) then its legit. For mildly adventurous eaters, I always recommend makchang, which is pig intestine prepared in various possible ways (I prefer a spicy red pepper variety) and is p great if you're not weird about non-muscle animal parts. Also yuk-hwe (or however it's best to romanize 회), or beef sashimi. So many people I know wuss out on trying those, though edit: Sorry all, lost track of the thread and contribted to a food derail. I'll try posting a map instead next time.

They've always annoyed me for being a) very generic names for cities and b) not having a West Taiwan. There is one, it's just a minor town rather than a proper city like the others.

The fact that that map is self-reported means it's not necessarily reflective of the people's actual language proficiency, just their perception of their own language proficiency. Many people can over- or underestimate their abilities, or exaggerate or downplay them, when asked by a stranger to subjectively evaluate themselves. edit: referring to the English in Europe map.

Baron Corbyn posted:there are more Christians than Buddhists in Korea. Yeah, Christianity and (Neo-)Confucianism have way more influence on modern Korean society and culture than Buddhism. I wonder* how the mapmaker defined each group. * I don't actually wonder they obviously completely pulled it all out of their rear end I mean all of sub-Saharan Africa as a giant monolithic group ("idk black ppl I guess lol") while Europe gets a bunch of little groupings and loving Texas gets its own little snowflake grouping?
