One of the two best toycat channels if I dare say so.
Nah it's gotta be Andrew Andrews
It’s at least in the top 5 toycat channels.

I think europe as a whole has that phenomenon, that whenever one looks at a world map we go like "woah! Europe is that small?"
also hode island is funny for a german, because "hoden" are a mans balls. (dont know the proper term in english)
@@Hoehlenmaensch Testicles, nuts, Jimmies, balls, etc.
@@logenerigonmennov467 got the rest of them but who tf calls them Jimmies? I'm in the south and I've never heard that once
Yea like my country is 1 pixel on the world map (ok thats overexaggerated but still)
@@Brickselot You must be Dutch
The fact that he didn''t notice how wrong many continents were shaped in the majiruana map was hilarious.
Seriously, South America is missing a chunk, the Iberian Peninsula has been shoved into the Mediterranean (missing Portugal), and I can't even tell what they did to Africa but it's so wrong.
The shape is normal. They just cut out a few countries out of existence.
The whole BeNeLux is missing, which is ironic, because... well, Netherlands ^^
Some backstory on Sewer Cat and his name: about two years ago a litter of kittens was born in my neighborhood to an unknown cat. Two survived to adulthood, of which we deemed Black Kitty and Grey Kitty. (IDK if they were male or female, but we just deemed them male in our imaginations) The two of them lived in the sewer drain near my house and would often be seen playing with one another in people's yards.
Grey Kitty was very friendly and loved to have his belly rubbed. He would sometimes just come hang out with us on the porch. He wouldn't accept any food we gave him, oddly. Black Kitty was very skittish but would eat wet cat food so long as we left him alone. I never was able to pet him.
Apparently some folks on the other street started regularly feeding the two on their porch and Black Kitty was ultimately adopted as an outdoor cat to this family and he goes in and out of the house a lot. Grey Kitty disappeared about a year ago... I don't know what happened to him. I hope he too found a home and is living a cushy indoor life somewhere. I'm sure his brother misses him a lot.
Black Kitty still sometimes hangs out in the sewers when he's not patrolling the skreets, and since there was no longer a need to differentiate Black Kitty and Grey Kitty, and they were all grown up now, he was reborn as Sewer Cat.
That is quite literally everything I need to know

The fun thing about that last map is that Wyoming without the W is still Y-oming.

19:50 I just want to note that while Alabama has a stereotype for incest, Rhode Island and New Jersey are the only two states that have legalized incest between consenting adult siblings and parent/offspring relationships. We really need to update our stereotypes.
Man, everything is legal in New Jersey
sweet home, uhh... new jersey!
@@equin_xx Doesn`t really have that ring to it. Alabama just sounds right.
Thank you for this information
Marrying your cousin is legal in California too, but no one sings "Californication" when incest jokes arise
the map at 2:30 just gets worse the longer you look, benelux gone, no ecuador, west africa has been cut off etc.
definitely a troll map
That's weird I thought Benelux was a word only used in the hetalia fandom
@@Eldritch-thing well uhm, it is quite a real official thing and has been for a long while
@@blackscorpion3277 oh ok.. yeah I'm really stupid, sorry about that
No Netherlands on a map about marijuana legality? Just sort of a mess isn't it?
Toycat accidentally letting his burning desire to colonise the savages under the banner of the mighty United Kingdom of Britain unleash its righteous fury from deep within his soul.
Rule Britannia
4:12 - the ironic thing is ‘mousehole’ does actually exist, it’s a quaint little fishing village in Cornwall which has become quite a popular tourist attraction. But also every Cornish person will tell you it’s not pronounced ’mousehole’ but instead ‘mou-sall’!
As a certified Cornish person, I'd say it's more like 'mowzul', as in 'ow that hurts', and rhymes with pencil instead of dull
@@mayflower2370 Sounds like a place in Iraq
"South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands" is my new band name.
I love how in the map that he draws it looks like the uk is holding Ireland as a flag
Canada should also be blue 17:05
We still use pounds and feet to measure our weight and height and there are other areas we use imperial as well
was going to say that too.
Honestly america should be blue too. We use both and then give ourselves a bad time because we havent let got of imperial yet.
The Passive Aggressive map of Alaska is a joke map made to show the disrespect our state gets on most USA maps. I think its quite accurate
Drinking game: watch ibx2cat videos and drink at every mention of the south sandwich islands or when he mentions that part of France is in South America. Drink twice if he shows the "Number of Eiffel Towers per country" map of South America.
10:40 To be fair two continents are missing. Everyone always forgets Antarctica.
11:10 I mean India and Madagascar are also on different sub-continents. Its only that they are connected into one mass - they are considered part of bigger continents.
In 10:40 europe was literally missing xd
0:16 Lol I made this map I can't believe it popped up here! I love how Reddit can help you share your work with people worldwide.
Congrats!
Nice!
I made one on accents on the southern United States that has gotten passed around over the years.
6:30 the only map in the world that acknowleges paraguay's existence
As a Brit I measure my height and weight in cm and kg, but yeah, buying beer in pints and road signs being in miles is confusing
Everyone I know here in England measures their height in feet/inches. Do your family and friends also use cm??
I also use CM I find it more convenient
I was under the impression that Britain mostly used the British imperial system outside of certain international industries that are standardized in metric, even still using ones (such as “stone”) that America has since dropped
"Are you ever depressed when you look at the map and saw the size of your country?"
At least you can SEE your country!
(I'm having a belong-to-tiny-country moment)
which one?
8:44 from a young age I understood that my country is surrounded by water, a large peninsula.
When I saw a world map, I was certain that it was the entirety of the Arabian peninsula.
Big disappointment for Greece. 😥
I was always amazed by the small size of the UK in the past, being from Canada, where we measure things in how many days of a drive away it is, to realize that you can drive to any place in your whole country in a day way amazing to me.
So glad you remembered Denmark but forgot all about Norway/Sweden/Finland! 😜
I'm a fan of thick Greece.
@@charlesrhodes1089 It gets real spiky, for no good reason!
6:05 toycat was about to say colonialism as his default response to everything
I personally live in Austria (a.k.a. Atlanta by someone) and I was pretty much Always aware that it was small, but what I didn't expect is that Liechtenstein is so tiny
Being a teenage boy in Alabama must be hard. Imagine your girlfirend breaking up with you, only to have to see her again when your parents call you down for dinner.
As someone who lives in Texas, a state significantly larger than the UK, no Toycat, I have never experienced that when looking at a map
7:16 in that map Belarus is probably named Boris because the biggest footbal team from there is called Bate Borisov
The whole "Zealandia" discussion is besides the point. The continent missing from that map is Antarctica.
You had *just* commented on someone remembering Greece and then you forgot it when you drew the world from memory.
Also, regarding imperial vs. metric, in the US, we actually do use a little bit of metric. Our soda comes in 2L bottles, medications are in grams, and nutritional amounts (eg. carbs) are in grams.
it feels good watching this at 5:04 am
Now I know your time zone
The problem with bad maps is when you learn geography on a bad map, I still forget that Danmark isn't simply a simple peninsula.
"No one needs to live in the box, it's just a box anyway." Being an hour from Wyoming and having been there numerous times, I can vouch for this.
16:26 you remembered iceland, but not Sweden, Norway and Finland
The best part about the whole Metric vs Imperial fiasco is that Americans also use a mixed system, yet we never get marked that way on a map.
In all the ways that matter, we are a metric country. After the mars climate orbiter crashed because of a math mistake relating to metric vs imperial, the scientific community has used metric.
The military commonly uses metric, as well, for interoperability with allied forces.
It’s just the citizens who don’t use metric commonly, and I would say that this isn’t even universal. Many citizens here do know metric, even if we don’t use it regularly.
I live in slovenia and i always oriented my self by "Istria"... Just recently (like a year or two ago) i realised that we only own not even half of it... And may i add that when there was the map "My sibling tried to name every European country" the only country that was not named was Slovenia... I know people are not for it but moments like this make me wish that Yugoslavia still existed...
The idea of the super-wide timezones would *never* work out well (similarly with just universally using UTC globally). There are two possibilities: One is that it's decided to have schedules across the expanded time zone be synchronized for commercial interests, with a disregard for the effect this would actually have on people, as the time zone gives them justification to do so. The other is that you rob the times of their actual meaning, where "I have to wake up at 9 AM" is perfectly reasonable to one person, and ungodly early to another, and that difference is going to be HARDER to remember than the simple numerical conversion factor of a time zone difference. It will also be even more disorienting to anyone who travels, as rather than simply having to adjust your body and set your clocks to the new time zone (a process that usually takes a day or two at most), you now have to completely remap the entirety of time within your head (which would probably take you longer than most trips to do completely).
The trouble you are trying to avoid is one that is trivialized by computers, and yet you would prefer to strip time of much of its meaning, antiquate phrases,make a mess of existing literature, just so you can say a single number (as opposed to a number and 3 letters/3 letters and a number) and have it refer to the same time for everyone. The entire basis of time is upon the sun, and it should not be so flagrantly distanced from it. If you're so desperate to do so then I will give you a truest example of that here, this comment has been posted at slightly past 1639744527.
What? Get your logic and reason outta here. Boooo.
Either proper timezones or everyone uses UTC lol
As the ambassador of the Nation of Gregway, I commend the brother of that other guy for finding out about our proud country and its people.
Being blocked by a country on Twitter actually feels like a compliment.
4:01 Ireland is labeled as "South Ireland", instead of Dublin it's Belfast and it's Belslow instead of Belfast, Nothern Ireland has more counties and Ireland (as you pointed out) was too high.
Loved the incorrectly named Europe map, and I live in Georgia(US) so I loved the Georgia Triangle one too
So your freehand map includes South Georgia but not Australia? I am grossly offended! 🇦🇺
At the moment I wish Australia didn't exist.
“You know what I DON’T enjoy? You watching this video”
I feel like you should warn me next time you don’t want me to watch.
As a Dane, I feel like you always skip past Denmark, just to piss us off. lol
Canada is the same way. We know our weight and height in feet and pounds but if you’re talking distances it’s feet for shorter amounts but metres and kms for longer distances. If we’re cooking everything is in Fahrenheit but outside temperature is always Celsius. Kind of annoying
It’s like the classic quote: “[the UK is] going metric, inch by inch.”
Great maps, was learning the wrong stuff in my geography class
7:35 idk if u r joking or not but Romania is in the correct spot
He thought Ireland was Greenland, but got Belgium and Denmark right. That's odd.
In Canada, marijuana is inconsistently enforced because of the differring age limits depending on what province you live in. In the provinces where the minimum age for alcohol is 19, marijuana possession is also 19. The same rule applies to the provinces where the minimum drinking age is 18. Except (obviously) for Quebec, where they love to make everything needlessly complicated (and French). The minimum drinking age in Quebec is still 18, however you need to be 21 in order to be able to have marijuana (because logic?)
dont have it guys . It ruins families
I used to watch this man play minecraft mash packs in a very different time and age, now I am watching that same man review maps.
Imperial/Metric mash up is common in Canada too. My height & weight are in feet and pounds, I drive in kilometres. At the grocery store, produce is advertised by the pound, but the receipt shows it in grams or kg.
Love you drawing the map of the world. Europe is the only accurate part but 4x its actually size! LOL
Hmm interesting to hear your perspective, would have thought that you’d rather get rid of the few metric system measures Britain uses than do the opposite and get rid of the British imperial system
I’ve never thought my country is small because I was told Danmark is, in fact, a small country and I was also so excited to see Danmark on a world map

So... did he just miss THE ENTIRETY OF EUROPE missing whilst focusing on if Zealandia is or isn't a continent? Love this XD
When you drew the map from memory you completely forgot about the scandinavian countries XD
i love how turkey just ceases to exist in ur map. which ironically would be pretty helpful actually
16:45 Ireland and Canada *sweats nervously*
“Lots of things wrong, There is mouse hole”
ITS NOT PRONOUNCED “MOUSE HOLE-“
Saint George in Georgia (country) is actually retrofitted. Georgia comes from the Iranian name gurgia (somehow related to gurg -- wolf), and the endonym is Sakartvelo, but Saint George is indeed considered a special patron here.
Rule 34 maps I've seen are more just blue jokes so maybe we have found an actual exception finally
3:55 I guess Czech republic and Slovakia are still unknown states that aren't noticeable even if they're switched
"and most of that is Scotland so it doesn't count" 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how the map of if Michigan went to war with Ohio replaces Florida with the Korean Peninsula and he didn’t even notice
Fun fact: 19:29 laska is actually a word in Slovakian meaning Love☺️
7:46 i was surprised an american actually knew that the country of georgia existed even though (s)he got it wrong on the map. But then when i saw that they mentioned other us states like texas or atlanta i realised s(he) wasnt reffering to the country georgia but the us state.
i was the person that made that map, so let me inform you, me and my sibling are canadian, not american
close enough tho
16:55 Canada *sweats nervously*
13:53 Bosnia, fed up with not having much of a coastline because of Croatia, decided to become the coastline
"Most of that is Scotland, so it doesn't even count." - when the English try to be conciliatory toward the Scots, but it backfires...
19:24 It looks like it says "owo" behind his face LOLMAOMFAOLOL
3:38 It would probably genuinely solving the problem of the Sahara Expansion. As strong of a desert the Sahara is. Being surrounded by an ocean this large it would shrink for sure.
13:48 Well in the Family Guy World they apparently took Churchill's offer and likely got themselves a shit-ton of American Soldiers in their Atlantic Harbors in the West and South and a Civil War in the North... It seems to have worked out for them in the end though.
18:02 It's a stolen quote but it is amazing so: "If America ever switches to the metric system there will be mass confusion."
16:12 yeah your Scandinavia looks epic
How to know that Brits really use the imperial system
“My bottle comes in CENTILITRES”
Wtf is a centilitre
Tbh, Canada should be included in the blue colour. Many Canadians do use a mix of imperial and metric. For example, the average Canadian will measure their weight in lbs, not kg and height in ft and in, not cm or m
100%. Should be darker blue than the UK even.
your paint map is CLASS
toycat is the best bc he combines two of my favorite hobbies, maps and minecraft.
In summer in Australia, we have five time zones, not counting the little islands or the crazy town in eastern Western Australia (Eucla) which is 45 minutes ahead of Perth.
@@BrambleSarah Although Eucla is in Western Australia, there are 13 degrees of longitude difference between Perth and Eucla. So, if it shared the same time zone as Perth, it would be like Los Angeles and Boulder being in the same time zone.
9:09 why does slovenia have so little regions/ towns/ whatever they are
15:55 Age of Discovery maps in a nutshell.
16:50 They didn't even bother coloring Canada blue.
At 4:36 i also saw that the capital of Spain is Lisbon and the Capital of Portugal is Madrid, it's supposed to be vice versa. Good job on absolutely triggering everyone who has seen a normal world map, person who made this thing.
Thanks to the mercator projection, I've never been depressed about the size of Canada
As a swede I'll take Siberia over being called Norway..🤣

It's quite impressive that a small country in the North Sea managed to make every other country use its language for business and aviation.
2:30 Am i the only one that realised Morocco is missing?
