No chance of being born in New Zealand I see
So me being born in Australia was like getting a mythic prize in a loot crate.
How about chances of being born in the ocean, or even on this planet?
With all the scientists and cruises that tour around Antarctica, I am not convinced that the chances of being born there are a flat 0. It might be less than 1% but no way it's 0.
At least 11 babies have been born in Antarctica.
0.0000001375%!
(This is based solely on roughly how many people exist, not birth rates, because I ain't doing the real math for what is ultimately a rounding error)
Y'all probably already knew about the Valeriepieris circle, I guess.
I did, but now I also know about Danny Quah's 2015 circle :)
Do you come from a land of plenty?
Statistically, no.
But if you do it per country things would look different. The US would have the highest percentage of people from all around the planet while all the other countries would have like 0.0001% from other places. I just made that number up, but yeah, you won't find diversity as you find it here in the USA.... Let's cherish that, let's keep our melting pot alive and well!
The US isn't even in the top 20 of proportion of people living there born abroad. They do however have the highest total number of immigrants.
New Zealand’s gone missing again, I’m assuming it’s lumped in with Australia.
It's crazy they did include a bit of Russia near Alaska and also bothered to add the Galapagos (where nobody lives) but omitted NZ
No it means there is zero percent chance of New Zealand
NaN
New Zealand is in stealth mode. We keep it off the maps so trump doesn't know it exists and leaves it alone
I've already been born so my odds should be updated.
This is actually percent of each population that believes in reincarnation
The continents are eventually going to disappear. It should be a 99.99% chance
What time frame does this represent?
Births in 2025 might be majority subsaharan Africa.
It would be really interesting to see chances of being born across all time. Like what is the probability of being born here and now vs. somewhere else in the past or the future.
You would have to make some predictions based on population growth and maybe model a few different possible apocalypses (average species lifetime/meteor probabilities/nuclear doomsday/climate disaster etc.) but it would be a fun model to play with.
Underrated comment. Given that African population is rocketing towards a projected 2 billion, while Asian birthrates are dropping thru the floor (even India is now only at replacement), the data from this map must be out of date.
Remember everyone: 100.00% does not mean all, and 0.00% does not mean none, just like 50.00% does not mean exactly half. They all are accurate to 0.005% points.
So there's a chance I'll be born in Antarctica?
Small chance you still might, I'll cross my fingers for you
thanks! I'm working on it
You, no. Some other guy, maybe.
Or girl
IIRC Argentina facilitated a few births on the outlying islands to make a point. Usually kids are avoided in such a harsh and precarious place, though.
Yes, though then we’ll have to test your blood to make sure.
It’s not zero for Antarctica, just nearly zero. 11 people have been born in Antarctica. Mostly argentinians but also a couple chileans.
Okay and that would still be less than 0.00% which is the significant figures on the chart. They can't just put 0.01.because 11 out 8 billion people were born there.
It's a good reminder though that 0.0% doesn't have to equal 0
They could have put <0.01 but either way there's no real society/culture there to bwgin with. I personally wouldn't have even included it on the map.
I will say if they were included on education stats, they would probably top all global charts.
Challenge accepted! Proceeds to breed in Antarctica
I misread this as "Chances of being born in each Connecticut" and while I know humans are fond of naming places after existing places, I'd be surprised if every continent has a place officially named Connecticut
Antarctica doesn't have one apparently
there are three continents, four if you have to add Australia
don't give me that canal crap either, i will die on this hill
Continents are mostly a cultural subdivisions, not based on geology, it's pointless to debate about it. Good video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrsxRJdwfM0
it's pointless to debate about it.
Good sir, this is the internet!
Australia's bigger than Antarctica, and if you don't care about that "canal crap" then there are only really two continents bigger than it.
For the map enthused!
