A history of the entire world

Bill Wurtz, creator of my all-time favorite YouTube video ever, History of Japan, has come back after more than a year of that video's release with this fantastic 20 minute video here!

This is just fantastic and it has immediately cemented its place in my favorites list.

How to fit 7.4 billion people in one city

I really enjoyed watching this video explaining how 7.4 billion people (roughly the population of the entire earth) could hypothetically survive in one city. The video first describes a bunch of densely populated places that either exist or existed (looking at you Kowloon Walled City!) in the history of the world and then proceeds to imagine what it would be like for the entire population to live in those city limits. Doesn't sound like fun. Crazy to think though that places like this exist where you literally can't turn a corner and not see a human face.

Null Island: The most populated place that doesn't exist

This is a very interesting video about a place that doesn't really exist called Null Island. But when I say it doesn't exist, I don't mean that it's necessarily fictional. It does exist, mostly in the form of a digital footprint.

Null Island is the coordinates for 0,0 (Latitude, Longitude) which puts you smack dab in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean (not too far off the Western Coast of Africa). The reason why this place exists is when GPS can't find your location immediately, it substitutes your place as 0,0, which translates to "null" in a program -- hence Null Island. So sometimes, there are photos tagged here even though nobody in their right mind would ever vacation to an ocean buoy. NOW YOU KNOW!
