Yeah, there are variations in spelling across the various countries, but they're all based on the most commonly used scientific name for the substance, which is benzene. For example, it's called Benzină in Romanian. The ă at the end is pronounced like a very soft aah.
@@ati847Hah, the way different languages refer to Diesel fuel is weird. Like, in Romanian, we use Diesel to refer exclusively to engines/cars that use that fuel. But the Diesel fuel itself is never called Diesel. it's called Motorină, which is just taking the word for engine (motor) and adding a chemically-sounding suffix at the end.
the different words for fuel are more umbrella terms, all the words are adapted to each language, in germany it's benzin etc it's also not gasoline but gasolina in spanish. so we don't all use the exact same word but it has the same roots
In Latvian petrol is called ''benzīns'', diesel is ''dīzelis'', oil for making those is called ''nafta'' , and every other type of oil (like for cooking) is ''eļļa". It is so strange that in English crude oil and cooking oil has the same name. It's even stranger that in Russian cooking oil and butter has the same name - маслo (maslo).
In both Czechia and Poland most popular last name is Nowak/Novak (writing is different but meaning and pronunciation is the same), for some reason for Czechia there is a female version of the name on the map (Novakova). Someone who's interested in sports (especially tennis) probably noticed that most of last names of women of slavic origin end with -ova; that's how you usually make female version of the name in slavic languages (and when the male form ends with -ski/-sky you exchange it for -ska [or -skaya if it's eastern slavic language]).
I will only add that it means something along the lines of "new one" so it makes sense most people have this name. When people migrated and changed their place of living they became "new one" in the area.
It could be due to somebody missing the fact that it is just f. version of Novák and the fact that women live in general longer than men, so there should be more women with surname Nováková than men with surname Novák.

The French word for car fuel, essence, pretty much mean "extract", which is also why you find the same word used in perfumes, and also see it used for "essential oils" (it doesn't mean they are "required" it mean they are extracts!).

The Gulf Stream from the Carribean is what keeps Europe relatively warm for it's latitude, the Mediterranean is a stabilizing temperatures too. But it keeps surprising me how much more Northern Europe is too. I live in the North of the Netherlands, when I fly full West the first American state I would cross would be Alaska. The billionaires living in a rather nice climate in Monaco, who could have thought? Number of days with rain is only one indicator of how rainy it is, half an hour of drizzle on a nice day, we can live with that. It's the weeks with rain all day all the days that are bad and that is often the case in Britain, the Netherlands and parts of Belgium. The Mediterranean is more like a lake concerning the weather. The ocean with it's currents has for example much more influence on the Basque country (South-West France and Northern Spain) where it's exceptionally rainy for the latitude, the Gulf of Biscaye is famous for that.

The religious divide in Germany between Catholic and Protestant is mostly down to the 30 Years War and the Peace of Westphalia. The principle of "Cuius regio, eius religio" ("whose realm, their religion" i.e. the Emperor could not demand conversion of a principality in the HRE, but the local ruler could decide what denomination their subjects should follow) was established back then, ending around 130 years of sectarian conflicts in Central Europe (including one of the most destructive major wars in world history). (Some would even argue that it was the end to 230 years of sectarian conflicts in Central Europe, if you include the Hussite wars which saw crusades being called against other Christians in the 15th century)
Don't forget the Seven Years War which was the first global conflict, while the period of the War for Spanish and Austrian succession and the wars between the Dutch and the English also happened between the 30 Years and Seven Years Wat.
@DJKLProductions just did a quick google search... from what I've read: Micheal Faraday first discovered it, and in 1833 a german scientist named it benzene which apparently derives from "gum benzoine" ( an arimatic resin) ...so yeah...
The cave houses in the southern part of Spain were quite typical and I believe they date back more than 3000 years. Thinking that it is a very smart way to have spaces, cool and protected for living. In the south it is very hot and dry, and in mountainous areas the cultivation space was sacred. It was also a very good way to preserve food. In the central area of the peninsula it is known that in Roman times the orography was used to build large winepresses to make wine and a thousand other things. So caves were a good solution for shelters in the countryside, the plateau is also harsh in terms of weather. Right now there are some towns with cave houses left, but they are super tourist in areas of Granada region for example, and there is a huge Airbnb offer. Many are luxury spaces and others are cultural heritage. In Greece and Sicily and throughout the Mediterranean I think they also have their towns with cave houses for the same reasons. And they are extraordinarily pretty and well preserver.
In many countries, names began to develop from the professions that people had, because that was their role in the village society, and that's what they were recognized by. That's the reason that Smith is so high on the list for many countries, not only the english-speaking ones. For example, in Germany the most common names which are all professions - Schmied (smith), Bauer (farmer), Meier (farmland owner), Müller (miller), Schneider (taylor), Becker (baker), Weber (weaver), Wagner (wagon maker), Fischer (fisherman)...
But in Spain the most common surnames are the ones ending in Z, that are "son of" López (Lope's son), Fernández (Fernando's son), Rodríguez (Rodrigo's son)
Fun fact about that if all the ice melted: Finland grows about 7 square kilometers per year. The weight of the ice age pressed the ground down and it is still raising back 3-10 millimeters per year depending on the exact area.
As is Scotland and much of Scandinavia. IIRC, there is concern over submarine land-slides as a result.. There is evidence of massive slides in the past and a resulting tidal wave around the north sea.

Oh, the nonsens with rising sea levels... In pics on NY and other habours from 100 years ago, the water level is exact the same. No wonder, because ice swims in the water and the level doesn't rise when it melts...
@@flotterotto4491 nobody mentioned rising sea levels. We were talking about how the weight of the ice depresses the land under and how it springs back up. Also.. a picture of a harbour isn't going to show you rising sea levels of a few inches unless the picture includes a measure to show water level and having other other tidal info and probably 100s other variables too.
You do you and mostly it doesn't bother me, but the problem with calling gasoline "gas" is that in Europe and many other countries there are millions of vehicles that literally use gas (biogas or natural gas) as fuel. So unless the listener knows that your country doesn't have gas vehicles, you must understand how that is confusing. That's one reason why so many people don't like the word gas for gasoline.
Dont know if you read comments or not, but I live in Finland and the part about conscription made me want to open up how the system here works. Around (usually a bit after) the time you turn 18, you're sent a fun little letter that says where and when you need to go to get drafted. Before you go there you get a medical exam and if you have any medical reasons that would limit your ability to be in the millitary, then you get discharged and won't need to do any millitary stuff. If you don't want to go and spend half a year in mil service, you can also choose civil service, which is just you working somewhere with the only difference to a normal job being that you get paid the same money as the people serving in the millitary. So long story short you dont have to go and carry a backpack full of rocks for 15 miles and try to hit a moving target with perfect accuracy right after, if you don't want. Civil service is available for everyone, and you can also get a medical discharge quite easily, which means you dont have to do anything.
@@IWrocker Conscription time can have its benefits. You can E.g. get professional qualification and required license to work in the transportation industry, E.g. as a truck driver: "Puolustusvoimat Sotilaskuljettajaksi?" and "Varusmiespalvelus kuljettajana - intistä rekkakuskin ammatti?". And do things like drive a tank on the highway: "Leopard 2 tanks seen on the Hämeenlinna Highway, Finland".
12:27 There is conscription for all men in Denmark. Therefore, all Danish men with permanent residence in Denmark are automatically called up for Armed Forces Day in the year they turn 18. along the coast to the southwest,in Norway ,with Bergen as the top scorer with rain on 235 out of the 365 days of the year. We call gasoline, benzin and Diesel is diesel in Denmark
That map is outdated. Pretty sure Ukraine is not considering to remove conscription any time soon. Let's hope for a few years, but it's wishful thinking
In Sweden limited conscription is basically you have to show up and register, they do some tests and then they send you home unless you make it clear you really, really want to be there AND you pass all the tests.
They are about to massively increase the numbers, so pretty soon there will be no such thing as a choice anymore. Besides, we already have the law of 'total defense duty'. So if there is a conflict they can mobilize everyone between 16-70 years who live in the country. Having military training will just be a bonus then.

About the cavedwellers in Spain, I have a vivid memory of stumbeling onto an inhabited cave in Spain (outside Almeria, the black region on the map) when I was 4, so back in 1986. We were on the beach with the family, the beach was some way off from the city and there were clearly people living in the caves there by the beach. They must have had kids as well, since there they had a He-man castle toy there as well. My dad is from the region, and he told me that yeah, a lot of people live in caves there. Don't know if it was a economic thing since southern spain was relativly poor (the village he's from didn't get electricity until the early 90s and the well in the village was powered by donkey in 1986. To be fair, the village is quite remote up in the mountains, and small at that so maybe not priority for the utilities company) or if was some kind of cultural, anti-capitalist, live-in-the-nature thing.
Benzin iis the original name given by the German Chemist Mitscherlich in 1833 to the hydrocarbon, which was subsequently called benzene by Justus von Liebig; The term Benzin developed into a name for the fuel.
My family has one of those caves, but they are not caves. The houses were built on the slopes of the mountains, beneath the earth with its rooms and windows, and by being underground they always maintained the same temperature throughout the year. It was a way to stay cool in the summer and warm in winter
7:50 - I can explain about Brazil. At 18, it’s mandatory for every male to enlist for a “draft”. If you are selected, and not immune due to health, family or some other conditions, a 1 year service is mandatory. After that, following up with the military career is optional. Now, quite often the draft officers will ask if you want to serve or not, and if you say yes, it’s more probable that you will be selected, and there are many loopholes and exemptions, so if you don’t want to serve, there’s often a way to avoid. In any case,serving at the military or not, just by enlisting you will receive a military discharge certificate, that technically puts you in the reserve of the military and eligible to be conscripted in case of war. Without this document, you can’t do anything as a adult male, including voting(which is also mandatory), working, getting a loan or a public sector job. This conscription policy is reminiscent of the military government that ruled Brazil until the mid 80s. Most of my father’s generation served the military, but since the 90s the size of the armed forces, and consequently the odds of being drafted significantly diminished
18:45 Essence in French (and, if taken literally, also in English) means distillate, and that's what gasoline is: distilled crude oil to get only the parts suitable for internal combustion engines.
We’ve had some really dry years in the Netherlands too. But at the moment, we are flooded with rain. I think it’s been raining almost everyday since September last year. Maybe with some rare dry days mixed in between those wet days.
15:55 Actually, the Netherlands are not a good example how to keep the ocean at bay. The land claiming success in the Netherlands is due to a special set of factors which are valid only for the Netherlands, making it unique in that regard and nearly impossible to recreate somewhere else. The difference in height for the tides is very large for the Netherlands (one of the largest in the world, reaching about 10 times the difference than for instance Florida), while at the same time, the land is very flat, creating large mudflats, which don't exist anywhere else except at the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. Additionally, the Low Tide moves sand from the Danish and the German coast to the Netherlands, increasing the height of the mudflats there (you can tell this from the size of the islands in front of the coast - they get larger from Denmark to Germany and to the Netherlands, with Texel, the westernmost island, being the largest one.) While the sea is eating into the Danish and the North German coast, it adds land to West Germany and the Netherlands, creating new islands all the time. For the Netherlands, inceasing its land along the coast is just a waiting game, sped up by technical measures, but not caused by them. The tides also help with letting the rivers flow into the open sea, because you can open the dykes ad Low Tide and close them at High Tide, using the tides to drain the land. Countries without large tides like Florida or Bangladesh can't do that, they would have to pump their rivers out of their country, if the ocean levels rise.
06:30 It's the Mediterranean climate, which means it doesn't rain from June to September. That's why all the places close to the Mediterranean Sea have few rainy days, and it explains why Northern Spain (maritime climate) has more rainy days than southern France (Mediterranean climate). Reference point for Americans: California has a textbook Mediterranean climate as well.
It is not only that, there is a whole mountain range along the north and the predominant winds come from the north so all the humidity and rain stays in the very north, the provinces just south of the mountain range are much more dry even though they don't have mediterranean weather at all.
Funny thing in German. We call it Benzin, but the right pedal is still called Gaspedal. And to speed up is called "Gas geben", literally "to give gas". 😅🤷♂️
I find it funny that if you listen closely in the back ground where he goes over the non/mandatory military service the Song: Dem Land Tirol die Treue and found out, it goes from 6:48 till 10:22 in the videeo. i just barely heard it and thought i have to look into that
Benzene apparently is a chemical compound. In Hungary we call gasoline benzin, but what's more interesting is we call diesel 'gázolaj', which sounds very much like 'gasoline', doesn't it?!
In Europe now the EU have regulated using cide words and also adding ethanol, so you see E85. means 85% ethanol and the rest is petrol. E15 is 15% Ethanol and rest is petrol. I have driven in Europe, UK and of course Ireland. The code words and green handles for petrol(gasoline) is common usage. Diesel is black coded or a different colour. I had to be careful when driving in other countries. In Turkey they still have fuel attendants so you just state the fuel type you want. They give you a paid receipt for the attendant and the attendant gives you your real receipt. Most other countries where I rent cars I had to fuel up myself.
In Bulgaria we say "benzin" and "dizel" officially. Diesel for transportation is also called "nafta" by some people, but it's not quite right because "nafta" is actually diesel fuel for heating. There are some differences between "dizel" for cars and "nafta" for heating... LPG /liquefied petroleum gas/ is also used as a cheaper and alternative way of running "benzin" engines in cars /and some "dizel" cars too :)/. LPG is called "gas" here. So when you are here and go to the petrol station and say: "please fill up the car with gas" they will look for the LPG connector :)
Almería in Spain has the Tabernas desert that resembles the Southwestern deserts of the US, though nowhere near as big. Quite a few Spaghetti westerns were filmed there in the past and it is still used for filming today. Car companies like to preview their cars there; look for the white centre-line in the road if you can't tell if it's the US or Spain.
In Italian, 'petrolio' (oil) is the substance you extract from natural deposits that you turn into 'benzina' (gasoline), the fuel you use for your car, and 'nafta', another oil product used in diesel motors. Gas (methane) is the one your stove burns. 🙂
The world looks very different right now than 3 years ago. Conscription will be reintroduced in many European countries and talks about how reducing military would "bring peace closer" are completely over. Countries like Finland look like geniuses compared to western European countries who have budget strangled their military to death.
Reintroduction of conscription is the most idiotic thing countries in EU could do, sure the armies would be larger, for example Army of the Czech Republic would double it!s size, but they would be staffed with mostly unmotivated people that do not want to be there. Not to mention that their usability in the combat would be questionable. The main problem in the Europe is not lack of soldiers in armies, but fragmentation, EU has some 27 armies, maybe 27 air forces, 22 "navies",... and more soldiers than the USA. Even doubling the number would not help as the main issue - fragmentation - would remain. EU needs to create one unified armed force. Especially regarding navy and air force, ground forces will be more complicated, perhaps, but I would say that it still is possible.
@@MrToradragonIf almost no one wants to be there, how you think standing armies can recruit soldiers and create reserves. For example UK as big they are doesn't have any kind of reserve. Only relatively small number of professional soldiers. It's same with most western European countries, geared for insurgency warfare in middle east. US has actual reserve(usar) and national guard around 700k strong behind their standing army. I'm sure European standing armies combined is not even close to US figures, I don't care to do the math. Even with combined "EU army" it won't cut it in peer-to-peer conflict. You simply need reserves when casualties start to pile up. My country has highest willingness of armed service in NATO and yet it's those full conscription countries. When Russia is next door, world view is a bit different than middle of peaceful allies. At minimum limited conscription is necessity because depending on people to sign up voluntarily won't work as long as western Europeans keep their heads in the sand. Also I don't think unified Euro army will be a thing as much as federalization will be a thing. At best there could be collection of units from each member funded by them but they would be serving under this Euro force. As long as EU doesn't have full authority over national governments, they won't give up their military.
@@kognak6640You are correct that I did not check what exactly did google spit out (sometimes it returns bit inconsistent data), but if we would be talking about armies with reserves, then we would have to include reserves of European armies as well, it perhaps highly depend on country and the way how army is organized for example in Czechia there is something called active reserves, basically volunteers that went through voluntary training and can be called up at extremely short notice and people that had left the army are considered reserve for some time as well, so if we would want to include reserves as well, we would have to add numbers for each EU country and then compare those with the US. I am bit hesitant to include national guards as I do not know whether those can be used outside of USA. I would say that armies in Europe are seen as something uncool, so perhaps we need to find way how to make them, or EU army to be something cool, and perhaps creation of some European Armed Forces could help with that as EU perhaps could get proper navy and air force with some "cool stuff". Another problem why no "one wants to join" can be in internal regulations, for example some armies could still have bit outdated regulations regarding tattoos or length of beard, even for members of active reserves, and so on. I fully understand that there must be some regulation in this regard, but they can't be stuck 30-40 years ago. Another issue can be pay, if it is low compared to rest of the economy, we can't expect people to be joining the army unless they really want to. Sure money should not be the main motivation, but on the other hand, given the nature of the job and dangers it posses, it should be reasonably paid. Another problem is can be nature of societies in some EU countries. I am not sure how willing young people in central Europe would be to join current national armies as those societies are to some extent broken. I am not sure that people are willing to defend societies that are not treating them exactly well and are not willing to solve the issues that younger generations are facing. What should motivate young people to defend society that is unable to solve housing crisis, that is unwilling to secure enough places in schools for children, that is not willing to increase sum paid during maternity leave to compensate for high inflation in last years, while pensions were risen and inflation fully compensated, and where between 30 and 40 % votes for populists? What should motivate young people to join the national armies and fight for such societies? Well, maybe it is problem in general in the Europe, maybe Europe if failing it's young generations. Or maybe young people are not joining national armies because they are already fed up with the nationalistic nonsense of past two centuries, but maybe would not have problem joining the European Armed Forces, especially if ti would provide good career opportunities. Maybe it is because in some cases all the weapons and technologies would be twice as old as they are. Or maybe it is because they were risen by generation traumatized by WWII and by generation whose coming of age had happened during later part of cold war and in post cold war euphoria. Another thing to consider is that when mandatory military service was abolished many had unpleasant memories of their time in the army and had passed this opinion down to their children. For some it was so traumatic that they had rather harmed themselves than to be in the army, my father had served for two years in 80's and told me stories how some other guys had harmed themselves just to get out. And some (if not many) young men today still have fathers that perhaps remember mandatory service (in some form) and had passed the negative opinion about army down to their sons. And they have that opinion because they were forced to serve. Maybe that has something to do with young Europeans not wanting to join army as well. Maybe we can get some date on this subject from the USA, how the opinion and willingness to join armed forces had changed from the end of Vietnam war to, let's say 2020. Another thing to consider is that for twenty years we have criticized USA for their mild militarism, it became part of European identity, yet suddenly we need armies, but we have society to great extent opposing expansion of military spending. I am bit more optimistic about creation of European Armed Forces, it could start as navy and air forces and some special land force and be slowly expanded. At some point it will gain traction and countries will rather opt for funding of European Armed Forces, than their national armies. But there will have to be provisions that the forces would not be used within the borders of the EU unless for defence from external aggressor. Or something along those lines.
My grandma wanted to move into a cave house in S-W France, but it was too expensive to buy and not very convenient to live in a cave community full time because most of them are secondary residences that are pretty much dead outside the vacation season. Cave homes are amazing in that they are naturally insulated throughout the year but installing the wifi is apparently a b*tch!
Ok so for fuel in Poland we have 3 types of fuel. Benzyna which is gasoline mainly 3 types 95 E10,98 E5 and 100 octane . Then Diesel is just called diesel but on gas station you will find it labeled ON from official name olej napędowy. The last one is LPG which is a mixture of propane and butane but everybody just calls it gaz just like natural gas and it is installed mostly in gasoline engines to reduce cost.
@@amjan Saying "nobody" is a bit of a stretch. By far, the most common one I hear is Diesel. When it comes to 'dizel'. It doesn't appear in dictionary of Polish language except for being an example of pronunciation (Słownik Języka Polskiego, PWN). If it's a slang it's not very common the term 'ropniak' is the most known. We have 3 official names 'silnik Diesla', 'silnik wysokoprężny', 'silnik o zapłonie samoczynnym' and i would stick with that.
So the way you pronounce "Benzene" is exactly how we say it in Slovakia (benzín). It is petrol only "Naphtha" which the map shows is a word used in South America is how we actually call diesel (nafta). The word for fuel - palivo (literally "what burns")) is the general term, it can, however also mean coal,wood or any fuel for anything and we rarely use it when talking about filling up our cars. Funny thing is I never really realised gas was short for gasoline and always went with the joke of "calling a liquid gas" The reason for this is we also call the accelerator/throttle "plyn" - pleen which literraly means gas. So "step on the gas" or "full throttle" is "šliapni na plyn" or "plný plyn" - using the actual word for gas

In Italian Switzerland it is Benzìna (and diesel for diesel motors). I marked where the accent (or stress) is. Italians say Benzìna (and gasòlio). In German Switzerland it is Benzìn and Diesel, in French Switzerland it is Essènce (not Èssence as you said) and Diesel. Nafta is what you use to heat the house.
I'd say that besides Meier (formerly a rich peasant or administrator of agriculture) and Müller (Miller) the name Schmidt (Smith) is probably around the 3rd most common name in Germany :)
Yes, the words for a profession or position in a community are the source for most very common names, thats the same in Germany as in Britain (and from there to the USA). There are lots of them, and they just translate between the languages (also in other countries). I guess that was the easiest way people identified themself back in the old days. A first name - usually something christian - plus the profession to avoid confusion.
some other examples (but surely not as many as Müller, Meier/Mayer and Schmidt/Schmitt) are Weber, Schneider (=taylor), Bäcker/Becker (=baker), Schreiner, Tischler (=carpenter), Schuster / Schuhmacher/Schumacher/Schumann (=shoemaker) - all of which are derived from the names of professions.
"In many languages, the name of the product is derived from the hydrocarbon compound benzene or more precisely from the class of products called petroleum benzine" In Serbia, Gasoline is Benzene(Benzin) and Diesel is Naphtha(Nafta).
21:17 A brief explanation of European climate zones: We basically have three big zones - the Mediterranean, the Maritime and the Continental Zone. Mediterranean climate is caused by the fact that Africa and Europe are basically cradling a sea, resulting in hot, dry summers and rainy winters. Maritime climate means that the ocean and land influence one another - the water stores heat during the day/summer and radiates it during the night/winter. This results in moderate changes between day/night and summer/winter. It also means that there is a higher chance of rain. You can find this kind of climate in north-western Europe. And finally, Continental climate is the opposite - hot summers and cold winters due to a lack of large bodies of water. I imagine that you have examples of Continental and Maritime climate in the US, too, but not Mediterranean, for obvious reasons ^^
That map at 14:34 looks like some wild overestimation. In reality even if all the ice would melt that only would result in a few centimeter of rising, which is basicly nothing.
@@JacobBax From common sense. Based on how many ice/snow are there in the world that barelly would make any change if you consider the whole surface size of the oceans (since they are one gigantic connected water surface, so there is no reason to separate them). It's basicly like as if you had a bathtub of water the nyou were puttining one or two soup bowl of water in there, which barelly would make any change.
18:29 Yes, it is normal term for gasoline. Also it is a technical term here, not just slang. Benzín in Slovakia, Czechia, or benzinaio in Italy for example. Also keep in mind that the diesel cars make almost half of all cars running on oil products. So every gas station offers both "Benzin" and "Diesel". And in majority cases one premium and one standard from each category, so 4 types or more. You need to be very careful to pick up the right pistol or you can seriously screw your day :D
A renowned weatherman in Belgium did the test and kept a count on how often he encountered rain during his commute. That was only 8% of the time. 199 days seems a bit much.
The second most common surname in Germany is Schmidt. together with similar writing versions it is even the most common surname and comes from "Schmied". And yes, "Schmied" is the german word for "Smith". Also in other countries the translation for smith is one of the most common surnames.
1:38 No, he's talking about the formation of Germany, not the unification. There used to be a lot of German kingdoms, like the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Bavaria and so forth. And the rulers basically decided what religion their subjects were allowed to have (e.g. catholic or protestant), which led to mass-migration all over the place.
Spain and Italy both have a large fish diet, add to that they use olive oil not veg oils both of these are known as health foods. They both also consume a large amount of fruits and vegetables. Red meats are heavily consumed by other euro countries, and a lot of bad oil has been used for decades until relatively recently, where olive oil has started to grow massively in popularity, and side salads are used with meal consumption.
I live in northern France (pretty close to the Belgian border actually) and we have rain almost every day since november It's even worse in pas de calais as there has been constant flooding since 3-4 months
6:00 The numbers are actually somewhat misleading. In London, despite having 109 rainy days per year, there is less rain than in Rome with 78 days per year - about 24 inches (600 mm) of rain in London per year vs. 35 inches (840 mm) per year in Rome. London has many days with only faint rain, while in Rome, when it rains, it pours.
5:30 It's funny that you said that it's like arizona, because Almería has the only Europe's desert, called "Desierto de Tabernas". Fun fact: lots of western movies were filmed there including "The good, the bad and the ugly", you can actually visit the towns they built for the movies.
My family owns a house-cave in the Granada province in Spain, I can assure you they are very comfy, especially in the summer! It gets chilly inside the cave even if it's like 30°c+ outside
18:20 Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C₆H₆. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a planar hexagonal ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each. Wich is diferent from Diesel as there are 2 diferent engines each runing with one or the other ;) We still say i need some Benzin(Benzene) for either of em tho hehe
In Sweden "Limited conscription" meant that a certain number of new recruits are needed each year, if that number wasn't filled by volunteers the remaining number would be conscripted. Though with increased tensions with Russia and us joining NATO conscription has now been reinstated to ensure that the numbers are filled each year. The idea is to still use conscripts to fill out the numbers not filled by volunteers or by 18 year olds not convinced to join during enlistment. This is to make sure that if the need arises the military can begin conscripting people right away. It was also reinstated because the number of volunteers was getting lower each year so the politicians decided to get it going again. Though as the video said, the term "limited conscription" is very vague, it might be considered limited since not every 18 year old is conscripted, just a certain number each year, but if the numbers aren't filled you have to properly explain you can't join, what reasons you have, if you don't want to. So I guess it could be both limited and full on conscription.
Compulsory military service is very important for Austria In the military, for example, soldiers are deployed in disasters to help the population Those who are used in the civilian sector are used in old people's homes, homes for the disabled, fire departments or rescue services
It's bensin for gas in Swedish and diesel for... well diesel. With limited conscription they call youth in for tests at a certain age and about 10% (I think) are selected for mandatory training that lasts for a number of months. I served 11 months in the navy, for instance. If there is a war, I may be called in to serve in the capacity I was trained for.
I really like how in comparison to a couple of years ago, you really are "smarter" or better informed about the world. I'm even a little proud as a loyal fan hahaha.
It's the warm ocean current that begins somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico that keeps the climate of Europe warmer compared to North America. As you move further inland in Europe, you will experience much harsher winters, and that's the reason why Russia, for example, is characterized by very cold and harsh winters, while many European places at higher latitudes can be relatively mild at the same time.
18:10 I was really confused by the word "Benzene" until you said it out loud - we spell it "Benzin" ^^ It's pronounced almost the same, though. We have a tendency to use words that come from Latin, since Latin was spoken almost all over the continent, and was the language of science and learning for centuries after the Roman Empire(s) fell. Like, I once heard a story where a professor was supposed to teach a class from several different countries, and he just lectured in Latin.
3:15 Correct. The top 10 most frequent surnames in Slovakia are all of Hungarian origin. Slovakia was part of the Hungarian kingdom for full 900 years (1018-1918) and in the last one or two centuries there was a strong "magyarization" (forcing Slovaks to adopt Hungarian language, names, culture etc). 4:19 It's crazy, that it only rained 3 times in New Mexico. Here it rained 3 times already this week. 😅 18:10 Yes, it's called benzene (benzín) in Slovakia, pronounced exactly the same as you said it. It has no other name here and it's the normal word for the fuel. The gas station is called "(benzínová) čerpacia stanica" (benzene filling/pumping station), but also often colloquially called "benzínová pumpa" or short "benzínka", "pumpa", "čerpačka".
Limited conscription means it's not everyone who gets conscripted, it's usually chosen by lottery the winner gets ~1 year or so basic training + extras. Full consceiption (red) means everyone gets conscripted for basic training etc. In regards to it being a thing, personally i think it's good. Here in Denmark we have limited conscription, when we (men) turn 18 we all go to a military base for a general health check up and to pull a number. Conscriptions only make up roughly 1% of our military, and they don't go to war nor do they get deployed. If i recall correctly it's 6-8 months depending on what branch you got into, you get paid pretty decently and considering this happens fairly shortly after you turn 18, it's highly unlikely you have many bills to pay in your civilian life. Beyond the fact that it's really not a horrible experience, there are major upsides to have a surplus in the civilian population that is familiar with the military and can be fairly easily trained further. However as i wrote it's only 1%, 99% or so are people who actively sought into the military, and those are the people that get deployed as active soldiers. A side effect is also that we have very good health data on the male population going back a very long time.
Gasolie (sounds like gasoline) in Dutch is Diesel. It is mostly untaxed, used for heavy machinery and agricultural machines. Not allowed in cars. It has a (strong)red color to identify if it has been put in cars, wich can be detected even if greatly diluted. For cars we use the name Diesel only.
Fun fact: in the south of Spain they have a region which is so similar to New Mexico - kinda desert style, very dry and hot - that it was chosen as the location for making the famous Clint Eastwood Westerns, like the "Dollar" trilogy and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Those movies are supposed to play in New Mexico, but for the Italian film production it was much cheaper to go to Spain for the outdoor shooting. And nobody ever doubted that its in the American desert... Many film and Eastwood fans still travel to Almeria every year, to look at the original places where the films were made. Like the famous "cemetary" scene. The cemetary was only built for the film and later removed again - but now it has been rebuild by locals for the tourists. Weird, isn't it?
Excellent fact, that’s so interesting 🎉 It’s convincing too, because before knowing that, I would’ve assumed those movies were filmed on site in New Mexico 😎 Nowadays a lot of American movies aren’t filmed in California, but rather in New Mexico and sometimes Georgia (because of great tax benefits and variable landscapes, etc.)
@@IWrocker Yes, it looks very convincing, doesn't it. I was also surprised when I heard this. I'm a big fan of the Sergio Leone movies, and also Eastwood in general. When Leone offered him to play the role of the man without name in "A Fistful of Dollars", he was first reluctant. A number of well known Hollywood actors had been asked before - but no great money, working in the desert in Spain with shabby hotels without A/C (it was the 1960s Spain), and the questionable reputation of Italian movies back then, all that made them reject the job. But Eastwood (who was only moderatly famous then) read the script and was convinced it could work. Same as Van Cleef and a few other. And the rest is history.... Yes, its peculiar how the film industry sometimes works. Everything is much more money oriented than it appears to the outside, leading to sometimes weird decisions. You - as a Australia fan - have probably heard that some of the "Hollywood movies" today are actually made in Australia. The government there tries to atract productions with hefty subsidies, and they have established quite a film industry over the years. Australia of all places - on the other side of the planet. But it seems to be profitably.
Benzin and similar versions come from Karl Benz’s last name, the inventor of cars with internal combustion engine. Yes, the founder of Mercedes Benz (Mercedes was his daughter, I think).
are you sure it doestn have to do anything with chemistry and benzene ring made by 6 carbon atom in aromatic compounds/groups??..I dont know the exact english term but I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with Karl unless he was a chemist also..
In south France when it rains it rains like crazy, we call it a Mediterranean episode, it rains so so much in such little time, and it can heppen at any time of the year
We say Benzin or Sprit (just like spirit, esprit, spiritus) in Germany. Diesel is Diesel, but as far as I know it's just Heizöl (fuel oil) in a different color - because of the taxes. Gas geben means hit the gas ("giving gas") and a carburetor is a Vergaser, so a Ver-Gaser literally is the thing that transforms benzene into actual gas.
"In many languages, the name of the product is derived from the hydrocarbon compound benzene or more precisely from the class of products called petroleum benzine", same with Naphta with kerosene and diesel.
in Sweden Benzene is used for the pure Hydrocarbon, and Bensin for the car fuel (wich is amixture)
@@Patrik6920 Same in Romanian, benzen or benzol is the name of the pure hydrocarbon, while benzina is the name of the fuel.

If you're wondering as to why Greece has mandatory conscription, look at the neighbours to the east, and the allies to the west.
Pretty much the same for Finland. Conscription has been the best way to ensure a strong military with a relatively small population.

In Czech we say Benzín which is said exactly like Benzene and diesel we call Nafta
In Norway we say Bensin, pronouncd the exact same way.. but diesel is just plain diesel.
ruclips.net/video/z0wK6s-6cbo/видео.html&ab_channel=RammsteinOfficial
Same in Hungary, we call it benzin too. Although for diesel fuel, we say gázolaj, which means gasoil.
Yeah, there are variations in spelling across the various countries, but they're all based on the most commonly used scientific name for the substance, which is benzene.
For example, it's called Benzină in Romanian. The ă at the end is pronounced like a very soft aah.
@@ati847Hah, the way different languages refer to Diesel fuel is weird.
Like, in Romanian, we use Diesel to refer exclusively to engines/cars that use that fuel.
But the Diesel fuel itself is never called Diesel. it's called Motorină, which is just taking the word for engine (motor) and adding a chemically-sounding suffix at the end.
@@Vestlys1 in Finland officially "bensiini" but in spoken language usually it's called "bensa". Diesel is just diesel.
the different words for fuel are more umbrella terms, all the words are adapted to each language, in germany it's benzin etc it's also not gasoline but gasolina in spanish. so we don't all use the exact same word but it has the same roots
In poland its "benzyna"
@@foxy126pl6 in sweden its Bensin
In Latvian petrol is called ''benzīns'', diesel is ''dīzelis'', oil for making those is called ''nafta'' , and every other type of oil (like for cooking) is ''eļļa".
It is so strange that in English crude oil and cooking oil has the same name.
It's even stranger that in Russian cooking oil and butter has the same name - маслo (maslo).
In Bulgaria is benzin - бензин as well.
benzín for both slovak and czech languages
In both Czechia and Poland most popular last name is Nowak/Novak (writing is different but meaning and pronunciation is the same), for some reason for Czechia there is a female version of the name on the map (Novakova). Someone who's interested in sports (especially tennis) probably noticed that most of last names of women of slavic origin end with -ova; that's how you usually make female version of the name in slavic languages (and when the male form ends with -ski/-sky you exchange it for -ska [or -skaya if it's eastern slavic language]).
Novak je cesto prezime i u hrvatskoj i opcenito na balkanu (barem sto se tice bivse jugoslavije).
I will only add that it means something along the lines of "new one" so it makes sense most people have this name. When people migrated and changed their place of living they became "new one" in the area.
It could be due to somebody missing the fact that it is just f. version of Novák and the fact that women live in general longer than men, so there should be more women with surname Nováková than men with surname Novák.
@@MrToradragon I'd say it would be due to high probability it was made with chat GPT and no real research, and we all know how 'perfect' tool for anything it is:)
there is actually long Á in Czech version, so it's not pronounced 100% the same, but it's very close
In Finland Benzene is "bensa" (shorten for bensiini). If I was talking about it in English I would probably use the word fuel.
For Estonian "bens" and "bensiin" :D
Ita: benzina, ger: benzin, swe: bensin
Here on youtube you have Ramstein's "Benzin" (De) and Normaal's "Gin Belasting Gin Benzine Meer" (NL, strongly regional accented) (No Tax No Benzene Anymore, which is a song about carless life)
For fuel we use Polttoaine where poltto = something to burn and aine = substance so roughly translated it is burnable substance.
Fin: bensiini, diesel.
In English I'd say "gas" and diesel.
The French word for car fuel, essence, pretty much mean "extract", which is also why you find the same word used in perfumes, and also see it used for "essential oils" (it doesn't mean they are "required" it mean they are extracts!).
Also, we use "Diesel" and "gasoil" for, well, diesel. Plane fuel is kérosène, and heating oil is "fioul" (and yes, that's a deformation of the English fuel).

The Gulf Stream from the Carribean is what keeps Europe relatively warm for it's latitude, the Mediterranean is a stabilizing temperatures too. But it keeps surprising me how much more Northern Europe is too. I live in the North of the Netherlands, when I fly full West the first American state I would cross would be Alaska.
The billionaires living in a rather nice climate in Monaco, who could have thought? Number of days with rain is only one indicator of how rainy it is, half an hour of drizzle on a nice day, we can live with that. It's the weeks with rain all day all the days that are bad and that is often the case in Britain, the Netherlands and parts of Belgium.
The Mediterranean is more like a lake concerning the weather. The ocean with it's currents has for example much more influence on the Basque country (South-West France and Northern Spain) where it's exceptionally rainy for the latitude, the Gulf of Biscaye is famous for that.

The religious divide in Germany between Catholic and Protestant is mostly down to the 30 Years War and the Peace of Westphalia. The principle of "Cuius regio, eius religio" ("whose realm, their religion" i.e. the Emperor could not demand conversion of a principality in the HRE, but the local ruler could decide what denomination their subjects should follow) was established back then, ending around 130 years of sectarian conflicts in Central Europe (including one of the most destructive major wars in world history). (Some would even argue that it was the end to 230 years of sectarian conflicts in Central Europe, if you include the Hussite wars which saw crusades being called against other Christians in the 15th century)
Don't forget the Seven Years War which was the first global conflict, while the period of the War for Spanish and Austrian succession and the wars between the Dutch and the English also happened between the 30 Years and Seven Years Wat.

You're surprised about how dry southern Europe is but just below the Mediterranean is the Sahara desert, which is also pretty dry.
The low rainfall in Spain is why they were able to make westerns there because the landscape is similar to the south west of the U.S.
it's v dry in the south east of Spain, ie Almeria. it's much wetter in the north west ie Galicia
In Barcelona a catalonian would say in catalan, benzina, while the same catalonian would say gasolina in spanish...
I can confirm ❤ benzina in catalan, gasolina in spanish🎉
The cave houses in the southern part of Spain were quite typical and I believe they date back more than 3000 years. Thinking that it is a very smart way to have spaces, cool and protected for living. In the south it is very hot and dry, and in mountainous areas the cultivation space was sacred. It was also a very good way to preserve food. In the central area of the peninsula it is known that in Roman times the orography was used to build large winepresses to make wine and a thousand other things. So caves were a good solution for shelters in the countryside, the plateau is also harsh in terms of weather.
Right now there are some towns with cave houses left, but they are super tourist in areas of Granada region for example, and there is a huge Airbnb offer. Many are luxury spaces and others are cultural heritage.
In Greece and Sicily and throughout the Mediterranean I think they also have their towns with cave houses for the same reasons. And they are extraordinarily pretty and well preserver.
In many countries, names began to develop from the professions that people had, because that was their role in the village society, and that's what they were recognized by. That's the reason that Smith is so high on the list for many countries, not only the english-speaking ones. For example, in Germany the most common names which are all professions - Schmied (smith), Bauer (farmer), Meier (farmland owner), Müller (miller), Schneider (taylor), Becker (baker), Weber (weaver), Wagner (wagon maker), Fischer (fisherman)...
In Spain we have 'Herrero', that is the Spanish translation of smith, and it is a pretty common surname too
But in Spain the most common surnames are the ones ending in Z, that are "son of"

Fun fact about that if all the ice melted: Finland grows about 7 square kilometers per year. The weight of the ice age pressed the ground down and it is still raising back 3-10 millimeters per year depending on the exact area.

IIRC, there is concern over submarine land-slides as a result.. There is evidence of massive slides in the past and a resulting tidal wave around the north sea.

Oh, the nonsens with rising sea levels... In pics on NY and other habours from 100 years ago, the water level is exact the same. No wonder, because ice swims in the water and the level doesn't rise when it melts...
@@flotterotto4491 nobody mentioned rising sea levels. We were talking about how the weight of the ice depresses the land under and how it springs back up.
Also.. a picture of a harbour isn't going to show you rising sea levels of a few inches unless the picture includes a measure to show water level and having other other tidal info and probably 100s other variables too.
You do you and mostly it doesn't bother me, but the problem with calling gasoline "gas" is that in Europe and many other countries there are millions of vehicles that literally use gas (biogas or natural gas) as fuel. So unless the listener knows that your country doesn't have gas vehicles, you must understand how that is confusing. That's one reason why so many people don't like the word gas for gasoline.
That’s a good explanation. As I said in the video I try to say fuel in my videos when I remember 🎉
Dont know if you read comments or not, but I live in Finland and the part about conscription made me want to open up how the system here works. Around (usually a bit after) the time you turn 18, you're sent a fun little letter that says where and when you need to go to get drafted. Before you go there you get a medical exam and if you have any medical reasons that would limit your ability to be in the millitary, then you get discharged and won't need to do any millitary stuff. If you don't want to go and spend half a year in mil service, you can also choose civil service, which is just you working somewhere with the only difference to a normal job being that you get paid the same money as the people serving in the millitary.
So long story short you dont have to go and carry a backpack full of rocks for 15 miles and try to hit a moving target with perfect accuracy right after, if you don't want. Civil service is available for everyone, and you can also get a medical discharge quite easily, which means you dont have to do anything.
Thanks for sharing that explanation. I try to read as many comments as I can 🎉
@@IWrocker Conscription time can have its benefits.

along the coast to the southwest,in
Norway ,with Bergen as the top scorer with rain on 235 out of the 365 days of the year.

That map is outdated. Pretty sure Ukraine is not considering to remove conscription any time soon. Let's hope for a few years, but it's wishful thinking
In Sweden limited conscription is basically you have to show up and register, they do some tests and then they send you home unless you make it clear you really, really want to be there AND you pass all the tests.
They are about to massively increase the numbers, so pretty soon there will be no such thing as a choice anymore.
Besides, we already have the law of 'total defense duty'. So if there is a conflict they can mobilize everyone between 16-70 years who live in the country.
Having military training will just be a bonus then.
It's important also to stress that Italy and Spain have one of the best healthcare worldwide that improve life expectancy.

About the cavedwellers in Spain, I have a vivid memory of stumbeling onto an inhabited cave in Spain (outside Almeria, the black region on the map) when I was 4, so back in 1986. We were on the beach with the family, the beach was some way off from the city and there were clearly people living in the caves there by the beach. They must have had kids as well, since there they had a He-man castle toy there as well. My dad is from the region, and he told me that yeah, a lot of people live in caves there. Don't know if it was a economic thing since southern spain was relativly poor (the village he's from didn't get electricity until the early 90s and the well in the village was powered by donkey in 1986. To be fair, the village is quite remote up in the mountains, and small at that so maybe not priority for the utilities company) or if was some kind of cultural, anti-capitalist, live-in-the-nature thing.
Are they called Cortijos there too? (the small villages on the mountains) That's how they are called in Granada and Jaén
@@barawen_who
Don't remember, it was almost 40 years ago. But Almeria isnt all that far from Granada, 80 kms maybe, so probably similar name.
Benzin iis the original name given by the German Chemist Mitscherlich in 1833 to the hydrocarbon, which was subsequently called benzene by Justus von Liebig; The term Benzin developed into a name for the fuel.
My family has one of those caves, but they are not caves. The houses were built on the slopes of the mountains, beneath the earth with its rooms and windows, and by being underground they always maintained the same temperature throughout the year. It was a way to stay cool in the summer and warm in winter
7:50 - I can explain about Brazil. At 18, it’s mandatory for every male to enlist for a “draft”. If you are selected, and not immune due to health, family or some other conditions, a 1 year service is mandatory. After that, following up with the military career is optional. Now, quite often the draft officers will ask if you want to serve or not, and if you say yes, it’s more probable that you will be selected, and there are many loopholes and exemptions, so if you don’t want to serve, there’s often a way to avoid.
In any case,serving at the military or not, just by enlisting you will receive a military discharge certificate, that technically puts you in the reserve of the military and eligible to be conscripted in case of war. Without this document, you can’t do anything as a adult male, including voting(which is also mandatory), working, getting a loan or a public sector job.
This conscription policy is reminiscent of the military government that ruled Brazil until the mid 80s. Most of my father’s generation served the military, but since the 90s the size of the armed forces, and consequently the odds of being drafted significantly diminished
18:45 Essence in French (and, if taken literally, also in English) means distillate, and that's what gasoline is: distilled crude oil to get only the parts suitable for internal combustion engines.
We’ve had some really dry years in the Netherlands too. But at the moment, we are flooded with rain. I think it’s been raining almost everyday since September last year. Maybe with some rare dry days mixed in between those wet days.
15:55 Actually, the Netherlands are not a good example how to keep the ocean at bay. The land claiming success in the Netherlands is due to a special set of factors which are valid only for the Netherlands, making it unique in that regard and nearly impossible to recreate somewhere else. The difference in height for the tides is very large for the Netherlands (one of the largest in the world, reaching about 10 times the difference than for instance Florida), while at the same time, the land is very flat, creating large mudflats, which don't exist anywhere else except at the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. Additionally, the Low Tide moves sand from the Danish and the German coast to the Netherlands, increasing the height of the mudflats there (you can tell this from the size of the islands in front of the coast - they get larger from Denmark to Germany and to the Netherlands, with Texel, the westernmost island, being the largest one.) While the sea is eating into the Danish and the North German coast, it adds land to West Germany and the Netherlands, creating new islands all the time. For the Netherlands, inceasing its land along the coast is just a waiting game, sped up by technical measures, but not caused by them. The tides also help with letting the rivers flow into the open sea, because you can open the dykes ad Low Tide and close them at High Tide, using the tides to drain the land. Countries without large tides like Florida or Bangladesh can't do that, they would have to pump their rivers out of their country, if the ocean levels rise.
the rain difference between northern Spain and south of France, is mostly due to the Pyrenees mountains chain (as you guessed).
In Swedish; bensin, diesel also gas that's made from garbage (anaerobic digestion) vehiclegas/CNG (liquid under pressure).
in denmark we say benzin. so pretty close. but then again we're basically family already 😅❤
06:30 It's the Mediterranean climate, which means it doesn't rain from June to September. That's why all the places close to the Mediterranean Sea have few rainy days, and it explains why Northern Spain (maritime climate) has more rainy days than southern France (Mediterranean climate).
Reference point for Americans: California has a textbook Mediterranean climate as well.
*Coastal California yes 👍 inland is very hot and cold extremes
It is not only that, there is a whole mountain range along the north and the predominant winds come from the north so all the humidity and rain stays in the very north, the provinces just south of the mountain range are much more dry even though they don't have mediterranean weather at all.
strange that in the rain map, they left out the rainiest city in all of Europe - Bergen, Norway
Funny thing in German.
We call it Benzin, but the right pedal is still called Gaspedal. And to speed up is called "Gas geben", literally "to give gas". 😅🤷♂️
I find it funny that if you listen closely in the back ground where he goes over the non/mandatory military service the Song: Dem Land Tirol die Treue and found out, it goes from 6:48 till 10:22 in the videeo. i just barely heard it and thought i have to look into that
Benzene apparently is a chemical compound.
In Hungary we call gasoline benzin, but what's more interesting is we call diesel 'gázolaj', which sounds very much like 'gasoline', doesn't it?!
In French they call diesel gasoil - probably the same origin of the word
9:34 dam is very accurate there
In Europe now the EU have regulated using cide words and also adding ethanol, so you see E85. means 85% ethanol and the rest is petrol. E15 is 15% Ethanol and rest is petrol. I have driven in Europe, UK and of course Ireland. The code words and green handles for petrol(gasoline) is common usage. Diesel is black coded or a different colour. I had to be careful when driving in other countries. In Turkey they still have fuel attendants so you just state the fuel type you want. They give you a paid receipt for the attendant and the attendant gives you your real receipt.
Most other countries where I rent cars I had to fuel up myself.
In Bulgaria we say "benzin" and "dizel" officially. Diesel for transportation is also called "nafta" by some people, but it's not quite right because "nafta" is actually diesel fuel for heating. There are some differences between "dizel" for cars and "nafta" for heating...
LPG /liquefied petroleum gas/ is also used as a cheaper and alternative way of running "benzin" engines in cars /and some "dizel" cars too :)/. LPG is called "gas" here. So when you are here and go to the petrol station and say: "please fill up the car with gas" they will look for the LPG connector :)
Almería in Spain has the Tabernas desert that resembles the Southwestern deserts of the US, though nowhere near as big. Quite a few Spaghetti westerns were filmed there in the past and it is still used for filming today. Car companies like to preview their cars there; look for the white centre-line in the road if you can't tell if it's the US or Spain.
The region of Almeria is pretty desertic. It has been the location of many spaghetti western film shootings in the late 60's, early 70's.
Since you live in Illinois, Athens, Greece's twin cities are Chester, Percy & Benton IL (within a 0.1 degree or 7 miles)
Map facts like this are so interesting!
In Italian, 'petrolio' (oil) is the substance you extract from natural deposits that you turn into 'benzina' (gasoline), the fuel you use for your car, and 'nafta', another oil product used in diesel motors. Gas (methane) is the one your stove burns. 🙂
Spain has 3 flight control areas. You are missing the canary islands, right by madeira and azores. I work there
Your Benzene pronunciation sounds so like czech benzín, it's crazy! I had small wave of goosebumps! :D
The world looks very different right now than 3 years ago. Conscription will be reintroduced in many European countries and talks about how reducing military would "bring peace closer" are completely over. Countries like Finland look like geniuses compared to western European countries who have budget strangled their military to death.
Reintroduction of conscription is the most idiotic thing countries in EU could do, sure the armies would be larger, for example Army of the Czech Republic would double it!s size, but they would be staffed with mostly unmotivated people that do not want to be there. Not to mention that their usability in the combat would be questionable.
The main problem in the Europe is not lack of soldiers in armies, but fragmentation, EU has some 27 armies, maybe 27 air forces, 22 "navies",... and more soldiers than the USA. Even doubling the number would not help as the main issue - fragmentation - would remain. EU needs to create one unified armed force. Especially regarding navy and air force, ground forces will be more complicated, perhaps, but I would say that it still is possible.
@@MrToradragonIf almost no one wants to be there, how you think standing armies can recruit soldiers and create reserves. For example UK as big they are doesn't have any kind of reserve. Only relatively small number of professional soldiers. It's same with most western European countries, geared for insurgency warfare in middle east. US has actual reserve(usar) and national guard around 700k strong behind their standing army. I'm sure European standing armies combined is not even close to US figures, I don't care to do the math. Even with combined "EU army" it won't cut it in peer-to-peer conflict. You simply need reserves when casualties start to pile up.
My country has highest willingness of armed service in NATO and yet it's those full conscription countries. When Russia is next door, world view is a bit different than middle of peaceful allies. At minimum limited conscription is necessity because depending on people to sign up voluntarily won't work as long as western Europeans keep their heads in the sand.
Also I don't think unified Euro army will be a thing as much as federalization will be a thing. At best there could be collection of units from each member funded by them but they would be serving under this Euro force. As long as EU doesn't have full authority over national governments, they won't give up their military.
@@kognak6640You are correct that I did not check what exactly did google spit out (sometimes it returns bit inconsistent data), but if we would be talking about armies with reserves, then we would have to include reserves of European armies as well, it perhaps highly depend on country and the way how army is organized for example in Czechia there is something called active reserves, basically volunteers that went through voluntary training and can be called up at extremely short notice and people that had left the army are considered reserve for some time as well, so if we would want to include reserves as well, we would have to add numbers for each EU country and then compare those with the US. I am bit hesitant to include national guards as I do not know whether those can be used outside of USA.
I would say that armies in Europe are seen as something uncool, so perhaps we need to find way how to make them, or EU army to be something cool, and perhaps creation of some European Armed Forces could help with that as EU perhaps could get proper navy and air force with some "cool stuff". Another problem why no "one wants to join" can be in internal regulations, for example some armies could still have bit outdated regulations regarding tattoos or length of beard, even for members of active reserves, and so on. I fully understand that there must be some regulation in this regard, but they can't be stuck 30-40 years ago. Another issue can be pay, if it is low compared to rest of the economy, we can't expect people to be joining the army unless they really want to. Sure money should not be the main motivation, but on the other hand, given the nature of the job and dangers it posses, it should be reasonably paid.
Another problem is can be nature of societies in some EU countries. I am not sure how willing young people in central Europe would be to join current national armies as those societies are to some extent broken. I am not sure that people are willing to defend societies that are not treating them exactly well and are not willing to solve the issues that younger generations are facing. What should motivate young people to defend society that is unable to solve housing crisis, that is unwilling to secure enough places in schools for children, that is not willing to increase sum paid during maternity leave to compensate for high inflation in last years, while pensions were risen and inflation fully compensated, and where between 30 and 40 % votes for populists? What should motivate young people to join the national armies and fight for such societies?
Well, maybe it is problem in general in the Europe, maybe Europe if failing it's young generations. Or maybe young people are not joining national armies because they are already fed up with the nationalistic nonsense of past two centuries, but maybe would not have problem joining the European Armed Forces, especially if ti would provide good career opportunities. Maybe it is because in some cases all the weapons and technologies would be twice as old as they are. Or maybe it is because they were risen by generation traumatized by WWII and by generation whose coming of age had happened during later part of cold war and in post cold war euphoria.
Another thing to consider is that when mandatory military service was abolished many had unpleasant memories of their time in the army and had passed this opinion down to their children. For some it was so traumatic that they had rather harmed themselves than to be in the army, my father had served for two years in 80's and told me stories how some other guys had harmed themselves just to get out. And some (if not many) young men today still have fathers that perhaps remember mandatory service (in some form) and had passed the negative opinion about army down to their sons. And they have that opinion because they were forced to serve. Maybe that has something to do with young Europeans not wanting to join army as well. Maybe we can get some date on this subject from the USA, how the opinion and willingness to join armed forces had changed from the end of Vietnam war to, let's say 2020.
Another thing to consider is that for twenty years we have criticized USA for their mild militarism, it became part of European identity, yet suddenly we need armies, but we have society to great extent opposing expansion of military spending.
I am bit more optimistic about creation of European Armed Forces, it could start as navy and air forces and some special land force and be slowly expanded. At some point it will gain traction and countries will rather opt for funding of European Armed Forces, than their national armies. But there will have to be provisions that the forces would not be used within the borders of the EU unless for defence from external aggressor. Or something along those lines.
18:28 , in the Netherlands it is called benzine, I also fill up in Germany and Flamish Belgium, also both benzin(e) :)
My grandma wanted to move into a cave house in S-W France, but it was too expensive to buy and not very convenient to live in a cave community full time because most of them are secondary residences that are pretty much dead outside the vacation season. Cave homes are amazing in that they are naturally insulated throughout the year but installing the wifi is apparently a b*tch!
The German Müller translates to Miller in english. The Smith is the German Schmidt also very popular name in Germany.
Ok so for fuel in Poland we have 3 types of fuel.
Benzyna which is gasoline mainly 3 types 95 E10,98 E5 and 100 octane .
Then Diesel is just called diesel but on gas station you will find it labeled ON from official name olej napędowy.
The last one is LPG which is a mixture of propane and butane but everybody just calls it gaz just like natural gas and it is installed mostly in gasoline engines to reduce cost.
Nobody in Poland calls diesel fuel "diesel"! We use the word "dizel" to call a diesel engine.
But the fuel itself is mostly "ropa" or "olej napędowy".
@@amjan Saying "nobody" is a bit of a stretch. By far, the most common one I hear is Diesel. When it comes to 'dizel'. It doesn't appear in dictionary of Polish language except for being an example of pronunciation (Słownik Języka Polskiego, PWN). If it's a slang it's not very common the term 'ropniak' is the most known. We have 3 official names 'silnik Diesla', 'silnik wysokoprężny', 'silnik o zapłonie samoczynnym' and i would stick with that.
@18:29 Your Czech pronunciation of Benzene is perfect! The spelling is different, but you're doing great :)
Regarding land reclamation in the Netherlands “this looks way bigger then a few hundred years ago, dam!” Yes, dams, that’s exactly how we did this…..
So the way you pronounce "Benzene" is exactly how we say it in Slovakia (benzín). It is petrol only
"Naphtha" which the map shows is a word used in South America is how we actually call diesel (nafta).
The word for fuel - palivo (literally "what burns")) is the general term, it can, however also mean coal,wood or any fuel for anything and we rarely use it when talking about filling up our cars.
Funny thing is I never really realised gas was short for gasoline and always went with the joke of "calling a liquid gas"
The reason for this is we also call the accelerator/throttle "plyn" - pleen which literraly means gas. So "step on the gas" or "full throttle" is "šliapni na plyn" or "plný plyn" - using the actual word for gas
I think most important reason why Finland has mandatory army is that big neighbor-country...
and southern europe doeasnt have snowy winters, so they have long motorcycle and beach seasons, compared to north, where add to those 100+ days of rain , some +-100 days of snow. :p
10:20 I see that they chose Mesabi for the region that encompasses Minnesota. This caught my attention because I was born in the Mesabi Range, which is one of the 4 "Iron" ranges in Northern MN.
In Italian Switzerland it is Benzìna (and diesel for diesel motors). I marked where the accent (or stress) is. Italians say Benzìna (and gasòlio). In German Switzerland it is Benzìn and Diesel, in French Switzerland it is Essènce (not Èssence as you said) and Diesel. Nafta is what you use to heat the house.
Essence. "en" is a nasalized vowel.
the rain in spain stays mainly in the plain
What's completely false, btw...
The absolute opposite is true, the north where is more rainy it is very mountainous.
Galicia and Basque country have left the chat to buy sunscreen
😂😂😂😂😂😂 no , la lluvia es del norte de España y en el norte es montañosos
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 hay zonas en el norte de España que son de las más lluviosos de europa
I'd say that besides Meier (formerly a rich peasant or administrator of agriculture) and Müller (Miller) the name Schmidt (Smith) is probably around the 3rd most common name in Germany :)
Yes, the words for a profession or position in a community are the source for most very common names, thats the same in Germany as in Britain (and from there to the USA). There are lots of them, and they just translate between the languages (also in other countries). I guess that was the easiest way people identified themself back in the old days. A first name - usually something christian - plus the profession to avoid confusion.
some other examples (but surely not as many as Müller, Meier/Mayer and Schmidt/Schmitt) are Weber, Schneider (=taylor), Bäcker/Becker (=baker), Schreiner, Tischler (=carpenter), Schuster / Schuhmacher/Schumacher/Schumann (=shoemaker) - all of which are derived from the names of professions.
In Poland we call it benzyna.
in italian too, we say benzina
"In many languages, the name of the product is derived from the hydrocarbon compound benzene or more precisely from the class of products called petroleum benzine"
In Serbia, Gasoline is Benzene(Benzin) and Diesel is Naphtha(Nafta).
21:17 A brief explanation of European climate zones: We basically have three big zones - the Mediterranean, the Maritime and the Continental Zone. Mediterranean climate is caused by the fact that Africa and Europe are basically cradling a sea, resulting in hot, dry summers and rainy winters. Maritime climate means that the ocean and land influence one another - the water stores heat during the day/summer and radiates it during the night/winter. This results in moderate changes between day/night and summer/winter. It also means that there is a higher chance of rain. You can find this kind of climate in north-western Europe. And finally, Continental climate is the opposite - hot summers and cold winters due to a lack of large bodies of water. I imagine that you have examples of Continental and Maritime climate in the US, too, but not Mediterranean, for obvious reasons ^^
That map at 14:34 looks like some wild overestimation. In reality even if all the ice would melt that only would result in a few centimeter of rising, which is basicly nothing.
So far I can only find 70 mtr of sea level rising, where are your numbers coming from?
@@JacobBax From common sense. Based on how many ice/snow are there in the world that barelly would make any change if you consider the whole surface size of the oceans (since they are one gigantic connected water surface, so there is no reason to separate them). It's basicly like as if you had a bathtub of water the nyou were puttining one or two soup bowl of water in there, which barelly would make any change.
8:30 Conscription in Finland: You choose between armed or unarmed military service or non-military (civil) service.
18:29 Yes, it is normal term for gasoline. Also it is a technical term here, not just slang. Benzín in Slovakia, Czechia, or benzinaio in Italy for example. Also keep in mind that the diesel cars make almost half of all cars running on oil products. So every gas station offers both "Benzin" and "Diesel". And in majority cases one premium and one standard from each category, so 4 types or more. You need to be very careful to pick up the right pistol or you can seriously screw your day :D
A renowned weatherman in Belgium did the test and kept a count on how often he encountered rain during his commute. That was only 8% of the time. 199 days seems a bit much.
Just found out your channel, really interesting and entertaining to watch :)
The second most common surname in Germany is Schmidt. together with similar writing versions it is even the most common surname and comes from "Schmied". And yes, "Schmied" is the german word for "Smith". Also in other countries the translation for smith is one of the most common surnames.
In Italy is Fabbri or Ferrari
yes, we say benzín in czech which sounds exactly the same as benzene, it was always funny to me as a kid that everybody say it in czech😂
Ian, try LPG. (roughly 17:26 in the video) I always thought matter could only consist in 1 out of 3 forms, liquid, solid or gas.
21:24 Hammerfest and Longyearbyen isn't even on dry land. America just isn't as far north as that
1:38 No, he's talking about the formation of Germany, not the unification. There used to be a lot of German kingdoms, like the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Bavaria and so forth. And the rulers basically decided what religion their subjects were allowed to have (e.g. catholic or protestant), which led to mass-migration all over the place.
Spain and Italy both have a large fish diet, add to that they use olive oil not veg oils both of these are known as health foods. They both also consume a large amount of fruits and vegetables. Red meats are heavily consumed by other euro countries, and a lot of bad oil has been used for decades until relatively recently, where olive oil has started to grow massively in popularity, and side salads are used with meal consumption.
I live in northern France (pretty close to the Belgian border actually) and we have rain almost every day since november
It's even worse in pas de calais as there has been constant flooding since 3-4 months
2:36 All the other last names go to fight in the was, the smith stays home to mend the horse shoes and craft swords.
6:12 Strange that they did not include Bergen, Norway in a map of rain days.
6:00 The numbers are actually somewhat misleading. In London, despite having 109 rainy days per year, there is less rain than in Rome with 78 days per year - about 24 inches (600 mm) of rain in London per year vs. 35 inches (840 mm) per year in Rome. London has many days with only faint rain, while in Rome, when it rains, it pours.
5:30 It's funny that you said that it's like arizona, because Almería has the only Europe's desert, called "Desierto de Tabernas". Fun fact: lots of western movies were filmed there including "The good, the bad and the ugly", you can actually visit the towns they built for the movies.
And the famous cemetary - that isn't a real cemetary. :)
My family owns a house-cave in the Granada province in Spain, I can assure you they are very comfy, especially in the summer!
It gets chilly inside the cave even if it's like 30°c+ outside
18:20 In the Czech Republic we say benzín and nafta. (nafta = diesel)
In Bulgaria and I asume in much of eastern Europe as well the gaz pedal is still the gaz pedal... Even if we use words as benzin/dizel for the fuel.
18:20 Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C₆H₆. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a planar hexagonal ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each.
Wich is diferent from Diesel as there are 2 diferent engines each runing with one or the other ;)
We still say i need some Benzin(Benzene) for either of em tho hehe
In Sweden "Limited conscription" meant that a certain number of new recruits are needed each year, if that number wasn't filled by volunteers the remaining number would be conscripted. Though with increased tensions with Russia and us joining NATO conscription has now been reinstated to ensure that the numbers are filled each year. The idea is to still use conscripts to fill out the numbers not filled by volunteers or by 18 year olds not convinced to join during enlistment. This is to make sure that if the need arises the military can begin conscripting people right away. It was also reinstated because the number of volunteers was getting lower each year so the politicians decided to get it going again. Though as the video said, the term "limited conscription" is very vague, it might be considered limited since not every 18 year old is conscripted, just a certain number each year, but if the numbers aren't filled you have to properly explain you can't join, what reasons you have, if you don't want to. So I guess it could be both limited and full on conscription.
In Gernany we say BENZIN. You might have heard it before, because the is a RAMMSTEIN song namend "Benzin"
That's exacly where I learned it🔥🔥🔥
Compulsory military service is very important for Austria In the military, for example, soldiers are deployed in disasters to help the population Those who are used in the civilian sector are used in old people's homes, homes for the disabled, fire departments or rescue services
It's bensin for gas in Swedish and diesel for... well diesel. With limited conscription they call youth in for tests at a certain age and about 10% (I think) are selected for mandatory training that lasts for a number of months. I served 11 months in the navy, for instance. If there is a war, I may be called in to serve in the capacity I was trained for.
I really like how in comparison to a couple of years ago, you really are "smarter" or better informed about the world. I'm even a little proud as a loyal fan hahaha.
It's the warm ocean current that begins somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico that keeps the climate of Europe warmer compared to North America.
As you move further inland in Europe, you will experience much harsher winters, and that's the reason why Russia, for example, is characterized by very cold and harsh winters, while many European places at higher latitudes can be relatively mild at the same time.
18:10 I was really confused by the word "Benzene" until you said it out loud - we spell it "Benzin" ^^ It's pronounced almost the same, though. We have a tendency to use words that come from Latin, since Latin was spoken almost all over the continent, and was the language of science and learning for centuries after the Roman Empire(s) fell. Like, I once heard a story where a professor was supposed to teach a class from several different countries, and he just lectured in Latin.
3:15 Correct. The top 10 most frequent surnames in Slovakia are all of Hungarian origin. Slovakia was part of the Hungarian kingdom for full 900 years (1018-1918) and in the last one or two centuries there was a strong "magyarization" (forcing Slovaks to adopt Hungarian language, names, culture etc).
4:19 It's crazy, that it only rained 3 times in New Mexico. Here it rained 3 times already this week. 😅
18:10 Yes, it's called benzene (benzín) in Slovakia, pronounced exactly the same as you said it. It has no other name here and it's the normal word for the fuel. The gas station is called "(benzínová) čerpacia stanica" (benzene filling/pumping station), but also often colloquially called "benzínová pumpa" or short "benzínka", "pumpa", "čerpačka".
Limited conscription means it's not everyone who gets conscripted, it's usually chosen by lottery the winner gets ~1 year or so basic training + extras. Full consceiption (red) means everyone gets conscripted for basic training etc.
In regards to it being a thing, personally i think it's good. Here in Denmark we have limited conscription, when we (men) turn 18 we all go to a military base for a general health check up and to pull a number. Conscriptions only make up roughly 1% of our military, and they don't go to war nor do they get deployed. If i recall correctly it's 6-8 months depending on what branch you got into, you get paid pretty decently and considering this happens fairly shortly after you turn 18, it's highly unlikely you have many bills to pay in your civilian life.
Beyond the fact that it's really not a horrible experience, there are major upsides to have a surplus in the civilian population that is familiar with the military and can be fairly easily trained further. However as i wrote it's only 1%, 99% or so are people who actively sought into the military, and those are the people that get deployed as active soldiers.
A side effect is also that we have very good health data on the male population going back a very long time.
Around the Mediterranean sea it's called the Mediterranean climate for a reason, we have similar regional areas in Australia as well.
Gasolie (sounds like gasoline) in Dutch is Diesel. It is mostly untaxed, used for heavy machinery and agricultural machines. Not allowed in cars. It has a (strong)red color to identify if it has been put in cars, wich can be detected even if greatly diluted. For cars we use the name Diesel only.
In the UK, it pretty much rains every day, but just for a short time. They are on an island, so they get much quicker weather changes.
Fun fact: in the south of Spain they have a region which is so similar to New Mexico - kinda desert style, very dry and hot - that it was chosen as the location for making the famous Clint Eastwood Westerns, like the "Dollar" trilogy and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Those movies are supposed to play in New Mexico, but for the Italian film production it was much cheaper to go to Spain for the outdoor shooting. And nobody ever doubted that its in the American desert...
Many film and Eastwood fans still travel to Almeria every year, to look at the original places where the films were made. Like the famous "cemetary" scene. The cemetary was only built for the film and later removed again - but now it has been rebuild by locals for the tourists. Weird, isn't it?
Excellent fact, that’s so interesting 🎉
It’s convincing too, because before knowing that, I would’ve assumed those movies were filmed on site in New Mexico 😎
Nowadays a lot of American movies aren’t filmed in California, but rather in New Mexico and sometimes Georgia (because of great tax benefits and variable landscapes, etc.)
@@IWrocker Yes, it looks very convincing, doesn't it. I was also surprised when I heard this. I'm a big fan of the Sergio Leone movies, and also Eastwood in general. When Leone offered him to play the role of the man without name in "A Fistful of Dollars", he was first reluctant. A number of well known Hollywood actors had been asked before - but no great money, working in the desert in Spain with shabby hotels without A/C (it was the 1960s Spain), and the questionable reputation of Italian movies back then, all that made them reject the job. But Eastwood (who was only moderatly famous then) read the script and was convinced it could work. Same as Van Cleef and a few other. And the rest is history....
Yes, its peculiar how the film industry sometimes works. Everything is much more money oriented than it appears to the outside, leading to sometimes weird decisions. You - as a Australia fan - have probably heard that some of the "Hollywood movies" today are actually made in Australia. The government there tries to atract productions with hefty subsidies, and they have established quite a film industry over the years. Australia of all places - on the other side of the planet. But it seems to be profitably.
Benzin and similar versions come from Karl Benz’s last name, the inventor of cars with internal combustion engine. Yes, the founder of Mercedes Benz (Mercedes was his daughter, I think).
are you sure it doestn have to do anything with chemistry and benzene ring made by 6 carbon atom in aromatic compounds/groups??..I dont know the exact english term but I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with Karl unless he was a chemist also..
@@theoteddy9665 The molecule of Benzene was literally named after Karl Benz.

Mediterranean countries only really get rain in winter, which makes them for great destinations in summer.
In south France when it rains it rains like crazy, we call it a Mediterranean episode, it rains so so much in such little time, and it can heppen at any time of the year
We say Benzin or Sprit (just like spirit, esprit, spiritus) in Germany. Diesel is Diesel, but as far as I know it's just Heizöl (fuel oil) in a different color - because of the taxes.
Gas geben means hit the gas ("giving gas") and a carburetor is a Vergaser, so a Ver-Gaser literally is the thing that transforms benzene into actual gas.
