    I'd love to see a map showing European nations' support for leaving NATO compared to support for leaving the EU, as I reckon staying in NATO would be more popular despite all of the scaremongering from the Irish left about sending our young to die.

    My favourite depiction of how inaccurate the mercator projection maps are, both distances are around 6,640km (similar may have been posted before).

    Most widely spoken languages & countries where they are official/most popular, i'd imagine.

    Native speaking countries of the most common languages.

    There'd be a large overlap between English and Hindi

    I think that’s where they’re getting 1.5B English speakers from but there’s no such thing as a “native English speaker” in India, it is always a second language for Indians if they speak it at all.

    Wouldn't surprise me:

    In 2022, 751,507 people usually resident in Ireland spoke a language other than English or Irish at home, representing an increase of 23% from 612,018 in 2016.

    The number of people speaking Polish at home declined by 9% to 123,968 but continues to be the most commonly spoken foreign language.

    And that's why the Lega Nord wanted an independent Padania.

    That area is mostly the Po Valley. It's where most European Kitchen appliances were made. And probably still are.

    Composite image of Jovian moon Io, the most volcanically active body in our solar system. The surface of this moon is peppered with active volcanoes.

    Jupiter moon Io imaged in near-infrared by the James Webb Space Telescope, showing different regions on the moon's surface which feature elevated temperatures with active volcanoes and lava lakes.

    These maps also show concentrations of sulphur and sulphur dioxide on Io and in its highly tenuous atmosphere, created and sustained by multiple volcanic eruptions involving sulphur and its compounds.

    i dug that up on google maps - the total site (i.e. the car parks and stadium) is 71Ha (175ac).

    the area of the stadium, including the pedestrianised area around that, is one tenth of that:
