This series was inspired by the great @MercateerGeo and his subdivision series. I strive to achieve the same feat as he and memorize every 100k city as well.
Here's the quiz if you'd like to try it for yourself: www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/...
Lemme know what series of memorization you'd like to see next :)
Disclaimer: if you're thinking I cheated or used a list of some time to do this, that would be kinda silly as this channel is purely to document my learnings and achievements, not to get views. Hopefully the doubters are settled 🤗
Can you tell me what you did to memorize all this cities name? I am trying to get all this cities too, but it's way more difficult than i expected.
@@leandroblockmango2673 just memorize 3-6 at a time, look them up, establish actual connections and memorization strategies to the cities. So many people just memorize names but it's way easier to create a real connection with them
@@Sweating_Geography thank you for the tips. Also, are you going to keep doing the south america subdivisions vídeos?
@@leandroblockmango2673 I want to eventually learn them all, but I think finishing Slovenia will be my next subdivision task
Why are you looking away from your computer
6:08 Vitoria has a population of 360k, Teresina 860k and some cities that may have 1M did not even appear
Guadalamala is such a funny brain mix-up.
WTH 9:01 Katowice (and probably more) has less than 300k population
I have this skill too, and it’s pretty fun to blow minds with it😂
Massive gg’s man very impressive
I just wanted to say congratulations on your achievement! I consider myself pretty good, but your knowledge is quite incredible. Watched the whole video, AMAZING
Thanks so much! You have no idea how much that helps.
@@Sweating_Geography Also do you have any tips for learning the capitals of Asia and Africa?
@@paxfishy I learned them like 3 years ago but when I started, I used this really great website called World Geography Games. I would recommend that site to any beginner learning countries, capitals, flags, physical geo, etc. you'll also passively gain knowledge watch videos like this one. Your brain will sometimes just subconsciously store a bit of the info. Stuff like that helps me quite a bit
Is it just me or when he says your city you fell a ray of happiness
How are some of these cities counted as 1mil+? even some of the metro area populations dont eclipse that
makes this even more impressive and huge respect for doing this!!
Most of the UK cities in this are nothing like 1M population.
@@cycklist Seems like this is about metro population and not city, which is misleading. All of the UK metro areas are 1M+, but there are some random others. Like a few in the US like a damn Cape Coral and Stockton.
This is the impression I got. The system is definitely a bit random and sometimes it felt like the quizzes were like: "Oh, I've been there! What a beautiful city!" and added it to the quiz 😅
@@Sweating_Geography you named like an additional 100 cities wich is even harder
@@VitalEwe eh, i have to learn them regardless as I plan to learn every city with 100k.
How amazing! I was deeply impressed.
thanks!
You should try the 10,000 biggest us cities one LOL
@@thesupertight5684 I've seen it. Imma pass 😂
@@Sweating_Geography that’s what I thought too, but my stupid brain is forcing me to atleast attempt memorizing them. I’ve already done every US county (3000+) and I think this would be a fun challenge 😈 😈
@@thesupertight5684 thats awesome. Maybe someday ill try the US counties. Imma just go for every US city above 100k for now. (I think there are about 350~ish)
@@Sweating_Geography Well GL! I also found one that might not be the best quiz (many of the cities were controversial for their population), but it is the 500 biggest US cities. Much smaller than the 10,000 but was still fun to memorize.
You should learn every Canadian Island as a challenge
There are a couple thousand. Biggest 100 or 200 of them might be enjoyable tho
@@Sweating_Geography Yeah, you could learn the top 100 biggest Indonesian islands too.
@@i1.i.1 physical geo grind isn't something I've done much of. I definitely do wanna do all the countries' highest peaks. I definitely might get into islands and stuff but it's definitely a lot harder to find resources for. When you get into learning the crazy stuff I do, resources become the main problem
Wow, great stuff
Thanks!
@@Sweating_Geography i like to do same things as you do, maybe we can record something together some day?
true props to you. you deserve a subscription from me
Thank you!!!
everybody subscribe to this man right now
@@JTLGeo7541eg I definitely would not be opposed 🤷🏻♂️
1:50 Kind of crazy that Cleveland, Ohio has over one million people
Edit: timestamp
Yeah, all three of the Ohio cities have essentially the same population too. It's a pretty interesting spread
im pretty sure all three metro populations are around 2.3 million. Though cincinatti has a big chunk of its population in kentucky and indiana
@@minnalunar I think you're right about this. Wasn't there a recent video by some big geotuber recently? I'm forgetting who
Edit: just remembered. It was Geography by Geoff
We should collab
Youre a minecraft youtuber why do you want a collab
@@Alkali840 who says I don't do geography
@@CosmoCarnagew
@@Southafricaa330fr
Nice job. However I am a bit confused over the featured cities here. Germany for example only has 4 cities with a population larger tha one million, not quite sure how this site came to 10 or so
@@FGLM4 so, from what I understand, it's mostly metros so, in Germany, Mannheim might include Heidelberg or Karlsruhe and Nuremberg might include Fürth and Erlangen
@@Sweating_Geography Interestingly, one of those which actually really has 1 Million (Cologne) wasn´t even asked for. Probably it became part of Greater Düsseldorf.
AMAZING!!!!!!!! 👍
Thanks!!
wow
SQUADOFBOZOS IS THIS YOU
PEREIRA
Half of these cities don't have a million😂 I don't know what they included in this quiz. Maybe Agglomerations or metropolitan areas but not cities
How does one know so many CITIES whar
have you played geoguessr
Yeah, it's fun but I'm not super into all the metas and such
That’s honestly understandable. It’s frustrating in GeoGuessr how you can guess based upon things that wouldn’t be there in real life (for example the google car.)
Idea: every 1M city proper, and every 100k in the world (if it doesn’t lag)
@@EshDerp1425_Monke already working on that actually lol
GG!
Katowice population is like 300k bro
8:45 Bremen is not a 1 mio city I live there😂
Yeah there are plenty of errors. It's whatever. I don't mind. I've gotta learn them anyway 🤷🏻♂️
WHOS GONNA CARRY THE BOATS AND THE LOGS
@@dwmo THEY DON KNOW ME SON
DUDE HOW SMART ARE U WTH
ive been obsessed with geography for like 3 years now. its not smarts, its just a passion of mine.
@@Sweating_Geography Wow crazyyy
The best part about Geography channels is that they always mention Taiwan 🇹🇼
I haven't seen Shenzhen being counted into Guangzhou in a quiz before.
it was added to the Guangzhou area not too long ago. some quizzes still include it because of its relevance, although, technically incorrect.
@@Sweating_Geography I mean yea they are kinda connected with an urban corridor through Dongguan. Personally I think there's too much rural land between them for them to count as one though and I don't actually think there's anything official about it being 1 metro. If there was there would be claims all over the place about it being the world's largest city.
@@roevhaal578 I believe it is somewhat official. It's definitely considered the largest metro. But, I don't know too much about it so who knows 🤷🏻♂️
Shenzhen is a giant city almost as large as Guangzhou and maybe even more important. The city centres of both cities are many many kilometers away from each other. Well-connected but still far away. The suburbs are kinda stretched-out...
@@qwertyuiopzxcvbnm9890 Yea, Jetpunk are literally the only ones counting them together. Shanghai at 40 million is also absurd, Suzhou is clearly a different city. It's pretty much on the same level as counting the Washington D.C - Boston corridor as one city because there's continuous development between them.
Is there a better game than this, where citiy sizes are actually measured with their borders?
Not that I could find unfortunately. This was the only one
Cardiff is litually a city
It doesn't have a million population
@@Sweating_Geography oh it has to have that sorry🙌
Even we ordinary Chinese people cannot memorize all the cities in China with more than 1 million people. We can only remember some cities in or surrounding our provinces and a dozen cities with more than 10 million people. I believe the situation of Indians is very similar. Bro your memory ability shocked me.
Thank you!
wow that's actually incredibly impressive
also it was pretty funny watching you mispronounce pretty much every non-english named city haha
Fr LOL. Might have to work on that 😅
Bro is cooked
This statistic ignores many Chinese cities, such as Shenzhen-Dongguan, which has a population of nearly 20 million, but is included in Guangzhou-Foshan or Hong Kong because it is close to these two cities. In fact, there are several mountains, farmlands and wetland reserves between Shenzhen-Dongguan and Guangzhou-Foshan or Hong Kong, so they cannot be counted as one city.
They are counted as one city in census data as they are considered lumped together in one metro area
Map is weird... In Germany there are only 4 cities > 1Mio. inhabitants. Berlin, Hamburg, München, Köln... the rest is below 1M.
Its just random... e.g. Mannheim 300k people, but Leipzig with 600k is missing.
I could be wrong, however I believe it has something to do with metros. There are still some definite odd ones tho
Katowice has 300k people, i dont know how it got there xd (im from poland)
Krakow area is included in Katowice metro
Katowice urban area has around 2 milion people.
Ranchi
San Francisco doesn't have 1M+ but has 800k
Stockton has 300K
Sacramento has around 500-600k
Fresno has around 300-400k
Some of them are definitely not supposed to be there but I do believe it's using Metro areas.
Krasnodar in Russia is also a million city! As a resident, I am upset.
Sorry you weren't represented. Krasnodar is a beautiful city. Russia might be coming up soon
learn all the oceans and seas
If you include big lakes its hard, otherwise its really easy.
I've already learned the 100 largest bodies of water
Can you pass the test for 100 Russian cities? I think it would be nice for the Russian audience, or for example, all subjects of Russia
SQUADOFBOZOS
This is def a terrible list. I might be wrong but last time I checked wash. DC only had 700k pop so, good job tho
I think it's by metros although, there are without a doubt some ones on here that just shouldn't be. It's kinda hard to find recent enough quizzes for this kids stuff though so I'll take what I can get 🤷🏻♂️
9:47 why is it called rostov if its rostov-na-donu and rostov is in norther
@@coshed I realized that. I think rostov is typically accepted. It's usually like that because as I assume you know, it's just Rostov on don (don being a river) so the city is just Rostov and it's on the Don. Technically, it's incorrect but it'd be similar to like Newcastle in the UK. Nobody says Newcastle on Tyne
The US only has 10 1M+ cities (soon to be 11 with Jacksonville). Why does it show so many???
It counts the metro area. It's still pretty incorrect tho. Cities like Melbourne, FL, or Cape Coral for God sake shouldn't be there. I dont mind tho. I'm learning all the cities above 100k so I'll have to learn them anyway
Can you please explain the many times you looked away from the screen in the same location signaling a potential list aka cheating
So, I obviously didn't have a list. I've live streamed how I learn these. I look away to think or just search my head. I didn't bother getting a proof recording from behind because this achievement was ngl, kinda easy and only took me a few days. Next time I do something challenging I'll make a proof recording but I can also repeat this feat anytime with only the occasional mess up in China. Besides, cheating on these is beyond stupid. The entire point of this channel is to document my learnings and achievements, not get views. There would really be no reason to cheat. Hope that clears things up
He did put all that in the pinned comment as a disclaimer
Hi
09:00 why is that one city gray?
That's the Ruhr. I honestly have no clue why it's grey. It always is. Never fails.
@Sweating_Geography ohh, great job btw! I couldn't even name 10😅
how you learn all this stuff btw
I Livestream them every couple days. If you're interested, you can pretty much see the full process in those. The VODs are in a playlist called "100 Cities Streams" on my channel. It's mostly about making a connection and grouping with the city and the ones around it
oh wow thanks man sounds pretty fun honestly
14:32 as a iranian the pronunciation is wrong
Fully aware that most of them are lol
Bro said glass gow not Glasgow
Excuse me, when did Guangzhou get 70M. Last I checked, it has 32M if we’re counting Metro Area
Merging n'at
Where does the video show the population of the cities?
Guangdong Province has over 100 million inhabitants. Therefore it shouldn't be difficult to arrive at 72 million. Put together Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhuhai, and Zhongshan. Then, maybe also add Hong Kong. If those cities are not enough one can count their neighbouring cities as additional metro area...
@@qwertyuiopzxcvbnm9890 Ik. Most sources don’t include shenzhen and others so I was confused
@@EshDerp1425_Monke you are correct. I find it a bit arbitrary how cities get combined into metro areas. Shenzhen is very large, not some 1.1 million city. Guangzhou and Shenzhen form a metro area but other cities do to. Those other cities may form smaller metro areas but hey: In such a game we want to learn all the important cities
@@qwertyuiopzxcvbnm9890 it’s based on interchange
Nice
China 💀
ata batul
what does this mean? I translated it and it means "hold the bat" in romanian but I see that you are a hebrew speaker. Google translate said it didnt mean anything in hebrew. Im curious.
@@Sweating_Geography lo megale
cool
Krakow doesnt have 1mln population
It's Katowice metro area which is a pretty large metro and I'm pretty sure also includes Krakow for some reason
@@Sweating_Geography oh okay
where is fremont, california. that city has 200,000 people
It's 1 mil. Unfortunately, last time I checked, 200,000 is less than 1 million
ohh im dumb
@@duckswrld2381 np lol ur good
Not all cities
@@GeographyMonkey they're definitely all cities...large ones at that...
Shame about the pathetic thumbnail.
It's more of a comedic touch 😅
@@Sweating_GeographyThat thumbnail is the reason why I clicked on the video 😂 Pairs well with channel name
wow
