The first one made me wanna play Risk again.
SpanisInquisition
If only 100 people lived on earth everybody could have like, a million houses tho.
samthepea
A third of the world is Christian? Jesus Christ.
TheSteak
Anyone else think it was weird that the guy with half the money is also starving?
CyborgScribe
It's a first world thing. Starving yourself to look skinny/fit in more pumpkin spice
Jtw12b
Food for thought.. if only 7 went to college, who taught them? Cause I'm pretty certain you need a college degree to teach..
alexapocalypse
Wouldn't those teachers be in the 7?
DaNinja81
I'm glad this is on The Internet

where the majority of the world can't see it :)

Really puts my struggles in perspective. I coulda been forced to learn 6500 languages.
HYDEandgoFREAK
FuzzyX
That is like you can't read & write, you have no home, no internet, no phone, but you need to learn 6500 languages to earn $2 per day.
waterbottlewhale
I can write, I just can't read
CapCharlston
You win.
StevieTheAussie
As an Australian, I'm sad to see that an Australian won't make it as one of the last 100 people left after the apocalypse.
HesTakingRoyOffTheGrid
Anyone else sitting here going 14 Americans but only 5 english speakers?
parksAndRings
Pretty sure that was "the Americas", not just the USA
VolcanoTacoGinsburg
I've never felt so grateful to have a degree. And now I can't think of anything to say that won't sound pretentious.
TheodoreWitchfucker
As a high school dropout, go for it. + spare some change?
KjTheLightning
be pretentious, you desrve it.
d3jake
I wonder if they define "Attended college" as including trade schools.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
They need to specify if they actually mean real universities, too.
DukeDarkwood
They actually may, you know... the statistic only says the people *attended* college.

That too.
nattesheim
Those 14 who cannot read and write have access to the internet? If so, it's unfair.
PMmeUrNachos
They probably have to know English too to make good use of the Internet

Everything is awesome
lordkickass
70 people speak 90+ different languages each. That's pretty neat
LokiKingOfJotunheim
It sounds even more impressive if you say 6,500 though.
AbsoluteThundercunt
Hahaha exactly what I was thinking!
PikaChunin
Here I am only speaking one and knowing little snippets of a few others... dang.
ricksanchezes
This is just native lang, if it meant the most commonly known Lang it'd be english, most the world knows English even if only as second lang

Yeah, this is great and everything. I love what you did with the Lego people, but umm, can I have a reference page attached to your post?

Who needs facts when you have nice soundbites? Picturebites? uhh... gif-bites?

Nope

Judging by that %50 of the wealth held by one person, I'm going to bet it would be 99 people really fast
Fahargo
Yep people love stealing
Fishworshipper
...He's talking about murder.
Fahargo
Horribly he's right, someone who thinks they deserve that wealth would kill the rich person
DukeDarkwood
98, since he's highly unlikely to be the starving one.
JessieJanson
$ per day figures are BS. Some areas cost less to live in so you can spend less. This applies regardless of country. This should be based1/2
JessieJanson
on what they can buy with that and if they have what the need or how happy they are. Those are far better indicators. Flawed statistics.

Chinese isn't a language.

It's a collection of similar languages.
JesterOfShadows
So... no Australia?
PaxAuTelemanus
100 of them are Lego people.
DukeDarkwood
I love that they were Lego people.
whooshby
The homeless number is too high, IMO. Maybe they are talking about refugees? Almost 25%?
mortimerwheeler
It might be based on what is defined as a "home". But there are massive numbers of homeless in the 3rd world
whooshby
If 1st world countries have 1%, then 3rd world would have to make up the difference for the ave. - over 50%? It maybe the definition diff.
mortimerwheeler
More than 50% of the population of Mumbai is considered homeless (ie they live in the slums), likewise the Favelas of Rio
OLIVEGARDENSBREADSTICKS
With 100 people, 43 repost this, 65 complain about the repost, 1 lets the starving one die to end world hunger, and 1 speaks 6500 languages.
lmScruffyTheJanitor
You are not good at math are you?
OLIVEGARDENSBREADSTICKS
Just bad at typing. 55. Shoot.
AlwaysCorrect
So basically percentages?
DukeDarkwood
It's what percentage literally is. "Per centum" means "by the hundred" in Latin.
parksAndRings
For people who checked out of math classes before getting to middle school
DukeDarkwood
Heh, as a math-headed person, I can still see the usefulness of this reduction as a visual aid. You look at percentages, they're abstract.
DukeDarkwood
It's one thing to SAY 14% of people are illiterate. It's quite another to show you 100 people, bring fourteen of them out, point at them,
DukeDarkwood
and SAY "these people cannot read or write". Looking at people, or even Lego facsimiles thereof, has more impact on most people than looking
DukeDarkwood
at printed numerals.
yeldarb92
I'm glad I'm the 44 percent with Internet so I can look at spicy memes all day.
Moxmox
nah you're the 1 homeless, starving guy, coz you don't know how to fuckin' survive, coz you sit on your fat ass lookin' at memes all day
PatrioticMexamerican
But who said you can read them spicy memes?
pens9192
I'm glad I am part of the 75% with a smartphone so I can read porn star research and perform experiments at the same time.
GodHelpMeToBeGood
But how many know what a truly spicy meme is? 20? 30? 90?
Gottabemean
* cat memes
glassweaver
I find it amazing and humbling that big tech is actively trying to solve the internet issue, but 25% still don't have phones.
Dreamdayer
What if I have a phone but never use it?
glassweaver
Still counts.

That's not percent tho

44 out of 100 is 44 percent bruh
Toqueman
I had a brain fart. My apologies
yeldarb92
No worries :)
horrocj1
You left out Australia.
kapertonheadpie
And Judaism
TristanEngelbertVanBevervoorde
Because it's less than 1% of the world's population.
Selisesq
Australia was likely lobbed in with Asia to round off an arm.
CNNBRFIINF
yeah, prolly as Australiasia
TheMexicanNinja
There are cities with a greater population than us, it's understandable
trollprozac
Only 2
TheMexicanNinja
But still, *cities*, with a greater population than one of the largest countries in the world. And Shanghai comes pretty damn close too
z3lfmoord
And Texas
DukeDarkwood
Texas was once a country, but was never a continent.
Aszel
I'm not stupid. I know that there are at least 1000 people who live on Earth.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
That's more than thirty percent!
TheStealthHippopotamus
Only 1 is starving?!? I thought it was a bigger problem than that
K4rlss0n
Poverty, Corruption and Overpopulation is the problem. Starvation have a way of fixing itself.
K4rlss0n
When we try to fix Starvation by giving poor people the absolute minimum we create Poverty, Corruption and Overpopulation. Ironic, isn't it?
Yupurineutah
(sigh....) Yep, hell of a thing. Guess i won't then. Probably make 'em even more existentially miserable.
K4rlss0n
What you should do is support education, fix corruption, give out free birth controls and fight religion and superstition.
Yupurineutah
Word.
Yupurineutah
They can only starve so long you know.
EthanGoldbach
Starvation is different than malnourishment. You can eat rice 3x a day and not be anywhere near starvation but be severely malnourished.
RevoltedBaguette
Thx for underlining that. People tend to get confused with those two words. It's important to know the difference.
Lucidalabbra
1 in a 100. There are 318.9 million people just in America. Do the math. The number of people starving is staggering.
Fishworshipper
The number is staggering only because so many people exist. Just saying.
Ironbloodalchemist
But is it the same 1 that controls 50% of the money
pandachris
Who needs food if you have money
cfcannon
Do dollars count for fiber in a diet?
DukeDarkwood
Try living with money and no food for a month, tell me how it goes.
pandachris
I'm sure I'd struggle an awful lot getting fed if I was rich. :-(
DukeDarkwood
Nope. You chose money over food, no exchanges!
CyborgScribe
Ahem...buy...food...with the money.
afriendofmine
Explain how.
onyxvalkyrja
It will be, at the rate we're feeding them (just long enough for them to reproduce) :/
joeynew
That's simply incorrect. People don't tend to want to be starving, giving people the ability to feed themselves helps everyone.
Mavgurian
No, not everyone, not the ones profitting of the starving people. e.g. grain delivered is made infertile and cannot be sown, just eaten
joeynew
I seriously doubt it's the problem you think it is. The military is a far bigger money sink than feeding the needy.
rightcalf
My question is what's the line between starving and underfed. The underfed group was pretty big and that's a significant problem too
DukeDarkwood
I would imagine that 'underfed' would mean "not getting enough nourishment, but eating enough that direct starvation is no threat". Such
Flyndaran
That is not underfed. The English word for that is malnourished, and it's very eat to be overfed and malnourished.
DukeDarkwood
people would be at increased risk for many health issues, and may die if any of those go from risk to actual... but they won't just starve.
DukeDarkwood
At least, that's my assumed interpretation of the distinction between "underfed" and "starving". Malnourishment leaves you open to lots of
DukeDarkwood
diseases or even a few types of organ failure, but starvation kills you directly, because you do not take in enough food to keep the body
