Antarctica uses Firefox... Interesting. Sounds kinda dangerous, would melt the ice.
WhatzitTooya
Sounds logical to me to use Firefox in a very cold place, you know, cause people die if they freeze to death.

The electricity map is partially wrong: Japan has 100v, instead of 110v. The frequency's are correct: the North is 60Hz, the South is 50Hz.

Euro voltages not right. UK 240v rest 220v EU harmonized voltages to 230 + - 10
mike13815
Every US house has 220v available too. Its a center tap transformer.
AuroraNora33
I thought the Nordic countries had 240
GentlemanScientist
220 up until about ten years ago, currently (ha!) 230.

isnt the england one countries england HASN'T invaded?
Wadup
England was invaded by anglo-saxons and then normans. Both helped shape what England is today. So no.
kongensholm
At least in Denmarks case, it's mutual. (Denmark is one of the few countries that has successfully invaded england.
NaughtyCannibal
Iran is LESS welcoming? "Your steps upon my eye" Typical Iranian phrase. My father will disown me if I ever mistreated a guest.
WhoYouGonnaCallGhostNappa
Iranian people may be welcoming, but not the government, especially from a US perspective, I am guessing that was who made this
EdgarAllenPoo
Then how does that translate to the rest of it? North Korea is MORE welcoming than SK? That map is bullshit just based on my own travels.
WhoYouGonnaCallGhostNappa
Well they did take Dennis Rodman off of our hands
SeaHutch
If we're talking tourists for the foreigners map South Korea, Germany, and the US are more welcoming than Japan.
Lachee
*Australia is 240v @ 50hz, not 230v (although the 10v doesn't normally hurt appliances)
CerebrawlHemmorage
And Sweden is 220v, several of these maps are wildly inaccurate.
bargikade
I feel like the "Welcoming to Foreigners" map should have split up the U.S. There are parts that are much less/more welcoming than others.
PatrickPunchhard
What's going on with spirits being the most popular alcohol in Saudi Arabia?
NaughtyCannibal
Araq and other similar drinks are most common in that area. Also, Iran occupied the 19 position in the use of alcohol. some 420 million L
justacap
Legally, most of the residents can't imbibe. Those that can, are rich and there's no in-country production, so spirits are cheaper to get.
PatrickPunchhard
I know that drinking happens there. They usually just turn a blind eye to the foreigners. I can't figure how they've got stats though
justacap

Britain invaded Poland? When?
DoramBaramour
Over the entirety of history? At least once: Liberating it in WWII.
SwarmLord
It wasn't a liberation, Britain and France cowardly refused to attack Reich when it attacked Poland, leaving Poles alone with Reich & USSR.

40% of our traffic is on Chrome. Only about 10% is on IE and that number's plummeting last I checked.
movethebongos
Also a lot of people use what's default installed. A lot of those are IE. (Facebook people).
DoramBaramour
Also, the popularity of Android for phones has probably boosted the Google Chrome numbers for the same reason - default install.

Whats your target group? I would not be surprised if an IT firm gets more visits from "alternative" browsers.
bargikade
That is very true, a large portion of our target market is developers or others in the technology sector.

The sad truth is that the masses tend to make choices based off of less educated reasons
CmdrFly
They may have included corporate machines. IE can inherit Windows creds to automatically log into intranet pages, so it's popular there.

Just saying in my prior comment, that it's obvious @Idarak should go to Scandinavia, @MoreMetalThanYou @angryimgurian if he weren't so dumb.
RyanGiggs11
Scandinavia uses Internet Explorer and doesn't have Spirit as its most consumed alcoholic beverage.

WTF - we(Germany) are dirty porn, do you not know japan
CerebrawlHemmorage
But when it comes to live action porn, yes Germany beats Japan handily in the dirty porn department. Japan pushes ahead only in cartoon porn
CerebrawlHemmorage
I think the german dirty porn thing may be a stereotype that's survived from the 80s-90s. 1/2.
WhoYouGonnaCallGhostNappa
Germany is dirty porn, and Japan is tentacle porn/hentai

I, as a German, haven't ever even heard of this prejudice. I thought it'd say something like "beer", but "dirty porn" caught me by surprise.
Onzid
Its the poo that does it. People don't like the poo. Well, except you Germans.
raviolihummingbird
Maybe you're confusing us with, I dunno, the dutch?
Onzid
I'm just saying a lot of people think of German porn as having a lot of scat; not that it is true or that there is anything wrong with it.
Hazroth
Exactly what I was thinking
Chryos
Scat/gangbang porn is what Americans think when they think German porn. Random goofy shit is what they think Japanese.
Hazroth
Well that is quite interesting, i never saw German porn as really that much different from American porn - but maybe that's just me
Chryos
It is a super odd perception, but then, Americans are (publicly) very prudish about sex.
Hazroth
I thought that was just public perception and not really true but it seems to be at least a little bit

Well, it seems the map was created with a very loose definition of invaded.
ThisIsTheLastTimeIChangeUsernamesIPromise
At least the "England having invaded Sweden" bit has a very liberal interpretation of "invasion". They were pretty much given a tiny island.

Only invaded argentina at the Falkland islands which were theirs to begin with.

Except Argentina didn't even exist when the British landed, and there were no indigenous people.

That's what I said... the islands were theirs to begin with.

A couple of them were "liberation" invasions. Norway and Iceland in particular come to mind as only invaded to fight Nazis.

That Portugal is on there at all is stupid considering Portugal and England have the oldest diplomatic alliance in the world.

Iceland wasnt really a "liberation" its more of a invasion that we were simply ok with
Oledixie
That's the excuse the Nazis used, except they were liberating it from the British or the Jews or something like that.

I'm not sure how much truth there is to it, but I've heard that when the Brits landed in Iceland the German ambassador there protested 1/?

2/2 their occupation since Iceland was neutral. The British officer replied that Denmark was also neutral when the Germans arrived.

I have three observations about these maps:

Second: anything over 110V is just a waste of electricity.

Third: Though the U.S.A doesn't officially use metrics, all standards are referenced in standard international units (SI);metric based units
WhoYouGonnaCallGhostNappa
Except our road signs
westboundbiker
Go to England- theirs is in MPH too. And their weights are in 'stones'. Doesn't mean they aren't a metric nation, like the US.
