Imagine how much more traffic Reddit would have if their internal search wasn't somehow more garbage than Google.

Nobody anywhere says "fella," so I think this is made up.

If by fella they mean feller, I actually think more of the South should be darkened.

Also, what are we supposed to make of the fact that in most of the northwest, none of the words are common?
Don't people there have mates?

Apparently nobody makes friends in the rain. No wonder John Fogerty is asking Who'll stop it.

At least Greece and Turkey have something in common!
Fortnite I know. What are CS, the floppy disk and FC25? I suspect the data is fake, all my friends play path of exile.... 
CS is counter strike, FC25 is an EA footy game. I wonder about the other logo, but I do not think it is a floppy disk.
Note the sources are video/streaming services. I think this is a measure of games streamed not games played. Surely everyone actually plays Civ? ;-)

"Floppy disk" is Roblox.
Does that mean that most of the people that play games in Scandinavia/the nordics are children, while in the rest of Europe it is adults?

Fool’s Cap Map of the World (ca. 1585)
A geographer named Abraham Ortelius produced in 1570 a bound bundle of fifty-three maps. It was the first global atlas, and became a bestseller; Ortelius titled it Theater of the World. A few years later, Jean de Gourmont imposed an “Ortelius projection” — the globe flattened into an oval — onto the visage of a court jester: an imago mundi as feast of fools. And a decade or two after that, an unknown artist made the copperplate engraving featured above, based on its woodcut precursor. The South Pole is where a chin might be, and Borneo near the right cheekbone. This Fool’s Cap Map of the World has become one of the most widely reproduced images from the early modern era, though no one can say precisely what it means. Does the fool represent our world, the vain strivings of its denizens? Or the futility of cartography itself: its presumptions of completeness, the hunt for terra nullius? Perhaps both snickering jesters are present at once.
