I was already born, so my chances of being born elsewhere are actually much lower, I think
Someone doesn’t know about the great rebirth of 2026.
It’s the next logical step after so many Raptures, ya know? 🤷🏼♂️
Is this caused by the covid vaccine?
Death is on the rise, as is India’s GDP. So don’t rule out reincarnation.
Siberia is not part of Europe you weirdos.
One could say the map simply counted transcontinental countries as where the majority of the population lives, but French Guiana isn’t colored like Europe.
Also interesting that the southern border of Mexico is apparently the border between North and South America.
Yeah the most interesting thing about this map is the weird biases on display.
Personal guess?
This was made by a white supremacist to try and push replacement theory/14 words type fears without tipping off the normies

I choose to not be born in 2026
For any parents trying to find their new baby, starting the search in Asia seems like a good strategy! Book a flight immediately after birth.

I think PNG is usually considered a part of Oceania and Indonesia a part of Asia, which is why it stands out. What borders are not intact?
Can I haz data source and computation approach pleaze?
Isn’t it birth rate times population (normalized to world total births)? Then you draw the borders where you want…
New year’s resolution: beat the odds and be not born in Asia.
Of course the europe-asia border is wrong, but the south america -north america border is wrong as well. It should be where Panama is.
I see a lot of US Americans think that north America only has 3 countries. That’s false.
I see a lot of US Americans think that north America only has 3 countries. That’s false.
Three countries is what I was taught in school in the 80s and 90s. And that the Americas are 3 continents; North, Central, and South America.
What was the reasoning back then for singling out central America?
Hehe, when I made the comment above, my brain had changed the sentence to be:
Chance of having been born in each continent in 2026
Which sounded funny to me.
Fertility is really taking a plunge tomorrow.
Children of Men starting in 5, 4, 3…
I’d immagine it being 0% across the world, it is still 2025…
Babies gestate for 9 months.
Amateurs. I did it in 8.
So.
I hear that India is getting better but lots of it is pretty shit.
Large parts of Africa are similarly underdeveloped.
Why are birth rates so high in these regions and not in more developed areas?
Like. I understand the thesis that things are pretty shit so why have kids that prevails in more developed nations - but why does that not hold true in less developed ones? Where things are arguably more shit?
might be similar reasons as the american settlers had, more hands for work offsets the extra mouths to feed.
Makes sense I guess.
Could explain why us politicians want to eliminate child labour laws.
Why are birth rates so high in these regions and not in more developed areas?
Development is exactly what makes birth rates go down. People also used to have more kids in developed countries in the past, and it went down the more the countries’ development indicators went up.
The reason? It’s not simple, there are entire theses over the subject and, likely, different causes, but roughly, it’s lower education levels, more religious influence, less women rights, criminality, etc. For many people in poorer places, having kids is not an option at all. It “just happens.” Actually choosing to have kids is something very recent historically and far from something universal.
If you can figure out the answer to this question, you deserve a Nobel prize.
Every country on earth seems to be seeing the same phenomenon: the more developed and comfortable life in your country gets, the more your birthrate tanks. There are lots of theories, but nobody seems to have a good explanation or know what to do about it.
A Nobel prize you say?
Okay.
It’s insects.
Less insects = less babies. More insects = more babies.
Prize please.
*on preferably
It’s interesting that the places that make lots of babies are also the source of emigration to places that make fewer babies.
Hopefully reincarnation doesn’t exist, so I don’t have to live in Africa or India.
I would just like to point out that e.g. according to buddhist belief, where/how you are reborn depends on what you helped to create in your previous life.
this is to be understood both biologically and psychologically. i.e. when you hurt someone, like your neighbor, chances are high that you’re going to experience the same action done to you in your next life, but also if you help somebody ofc.
so the chance of being reborn in africa if you live in the US today are … low, i’d say.
How many of those countries have been subject to neocolonialism and CIA coups? Lots of people support politicians who want to continue stealing from and exploiting countries in Africa and elsewhere, so by that logic it seems to me that the chances are pretty high, actually.
I don’t think enough people are being born in Palestine to accommodate all the American souls who karmically ought to be reborn there.
yeah, that same idea came to me after i sent my above comment.
