10 Cool Maps We Would Study For Hours

I’ve always thought maps were cool, even back in the day when they were just different maps of the world at large.

Now, there’s an entire subreddit that’s dedicated to mapping interesting and cool trends across the globe, and since there’s literally a map for everything you’ve ever wanted – and a bunch of stuff you didn’t know you even needed – I could honestly look at them all day.

Here are 10 that are going to take up the rest of my morning!

10. Tanning vs. Whitening.

The grass is always greener, it would seem.

2. The number of cigarettes still smoked in a day.

1. The number of people incarcerated per capita.

As someone from the States this is so eye-opening.

I honestly can’t pick a favorite, and now I’m thinking about everything else I want to see mapped.
