Can I haz data source and computation approach pleaze?
Isn't it birth rate times population (normalized to world total births)? Then you draw the borders where you want...
I was already born, so my chances of being born elsewhere are actually much lower, I think
Death is on the rise, as is India's GDP. So don't rule out reincarnation.
Someone doesn't know about the great rebirth of 2026.
Is this caused by the covid vaccine?
Of course the europe-asia border is wrong, but the south america -north america border is wrong as well. It should be where Panama is.
I see a lot of US Americans think that north America only has 3 countries. That's false.

Three countries is what I was taught in school in the 80s and 90s. And that the Americas are 3 continents; North, Central, and South America.
What was the reasoning back then for singling out central America?
Trump's delusions about Greenland seem to be contagious to whoever color-coded this map.
Damn, Ukraine really went crazy with its 2026 counteroffensive.
From the Sea to the Sea to the Sea to the Sea to the Sea
"Wait, it's all Ukraine?"
"Always has been."

Siberia is not part of Europe you weirdos.
I'm sure the massive number of people being born in Siberia makes this map completely useless /s
It's part of Afroeurasiaca
One could say the map simply counted transcontinental countries as where the majority of the population lives, but French Guiana isn't colored like Europe.
Also interesting that the southern border of Mexico is apparently the border between North and South America.
Looks at Australia
That's an odd way to divide it up. Without Mexico, the US would be much, much lower. Every continent map shows Russia as part of Asia.
For this specific purpose it probably does make sense to consider Russia part of Europe. If we go by the common Europe-Asia dividing line of the Ural mountains then a large majority of Russia's population is in the European half, so most Russian births are probably in the European bit
The weird thing about the Americas to me is that only Mexico, the US, and Canada are counted. I don't think I've ever seen anyone that draws a dividing line between North and South America do so anywhere except at the Darien Gap, nor have I seen anyone put all of the Caribbean islands in South America. Iberoamerica or similar cultural region terms, sure, but South America the continent?
I wonder where the data starts.
I mean technically each sperm/egg combo has the potential to become a human in some scenario.
Did they include each time someone knocks one out of the park on their own?
What?
It's very obviously just the percentage of people born
Depends on how you read it 🤷♂️
“On each continent” it doesn’t necessarily say that if you were to fall outside of a percentage that you automatically are born on a different continent.
(I’m just messin with ya)
Wait when was Russia part of Europe.
Western part is in Europe, east of the Caucasus mountains is Asia. Map is slightly ehh in that regard.
I think you might be confusing the Ural Mountains with the Caucasus Mountains?
Yea sorry, it's been over a decade since I last had Geography class lmao
Russia west of the Ural mountains is Europe, east is Asia. But the Caucasus mountains are also a border between Europe and Asia.
Now do “chance of dying of any cause under the age of 20” per continent.
god, I must be so unlucky
Were you born in India?
They use an instance that's for a specific region, just like me. So, likely, no.
Hopefully reincarnation doesn't exist, so I don't have to live in Africa or India.
I suppose this is the sort of map fear-fomenting rightwing racists would use to support their arguments about white replacement theory. It would be pretty effective. Sigh.
For the map enthused!
