Hola from Colombia,
I’ve been consuming lots of porn lately.
But NOT the kind you’re thinking (family-friendly newsletter here).
I’m talking Map Porn.
There are tons of online communities sharing cool maps. For example, r/MapPorn is a subreddit with over 2 million people.
Let’s take a look. 👇
🗺️ Google Maps New 3D Preview
Google Maps just quietly released some big updates.
The dopest one is 3D ariel views of famous landmarks.
Just click satellite view at the bottom of Google Maps then hover. More info here.
💩 Flush or No Flush?
Two days ago, I learned most Latin American countries do NOT flush their toilet paper.
(Worth noting: I learned the easy way via a friend, not the hard way. The hard way would really stink).
I soon realized MANY countries don’t have the plumbing infrastructure to flush toilet paper.
This map blew my mind.

📏 Countries NOT Using the Metric System
Yup, you read that right.
Only 3 countries don’t use the metric system: the US, Liberia, and Myanmar.

Ps. I had an EPIC talk with my friend Jason Wright on his podcast here.
