Which Is More Popular: Tesla Or The Ford F-150?
The map above shows which has more searches Tesla or the Ford F-150.
It’s based on Google Trends data for the last 12 months.
Now, you may think it’s a bit unfair to compare searches for all of Tesla’s cars with searches for just the F-150, and you’d be right.
However, the sales figures between them are probably smaller than you might think.
The Racoon Invasion Of Germany
As of 2024, it was estimated that there were over 2 million racoons in the country, but the government is seeking to euthanized them.
Until coming across this map I had no idea that racoons could be found anywhere in Europe, let alone in such big numbers.

Biggest Soviet Cities in 1989 & How They’ve Grown or Shrunk Since
The map above shows the 296 largest Soviet cities with a population of over 100,000 people in 1989.
The 23 largest with over 1 million people are named on the map.

And yet, nobody had collected them in one place.
I managed to find a report titled Статистика для всех (“Statistics For Everyone”) that summarizes the results of the 1989 Soviet Union Census.
Inside it was a list of cities, which amazingly enough was digitized so I could just copy and paste the data into a spreadsheet.
After some cleaning, some geocoding (God bless Nominatim), and some head-scratching with python’s Basemap, I came up with these maps. The text was added later using Adobe Illustrator, because Matplotlib’s text features are very frustrating.
Below you can see how these cities did in terms of growth and decline up until 2016:

The Entire History of the World Every Year In Just 60 Seconds

As he describes it: “Since 200,000 BCE, humanity has spread around globe and enacted huge change upon the planet. This video shows every year of that story, right from the beginning.”
I had fun playing around with it and sped it up by 18x it’s normal speed so you can watch the whole thing in 60 seconds (see below).
However, if you actually want to see anything you’re better off watching the full version above.
