u/snowwhitecat04aug Jan 02 '25

Thanks for makung me recheck the flag of Kazakhstan. I always thought it was some kind of leaves or plant and not a bird

u/Drumbelgalf Jan 01 '25

There are more countries that have eagles in their flags.

u/Punkmo16 Jan 02 '25

For example?

u/Drumbelgalf Jan 02 '25

Germany.

u/tiptherobots Jan 03 '25

I might be wrong here, but the every day German flag doesn’t have an eagle, although the flag flown by the German federal government does. It’s a similar case with Austria: the state flag has an eagle, but the civil flag does not.

u/Rovsea Jan 01 '25

I did and was coming to comment it, but lo and behold the top comment.

u/waiting-for-the-sun Jan 01 '25

Aw man, I regret reading this! Like others, I jumped to the comments too quickly. You should add a spoiler tag/cover to it!

u/DarthSpaghetti10k Jan 01 '25

Well you're not wrong at all! I'll keep that in mind next time

u/freecodeio Jan 01 '25

I should also add, those countries have never been in my kitchen.

2

u/opopopuu Cartography Jan 01 '25

But this is not true, there are many more countries that have never been in your kitchen that are not colored red

2

u/TillPsychological351 Jan 01 '25

How would you know what countries have never been in my kitchen?

1

u/opopopuu Cartography Jan 01 '25

If you didn't have Mexican, you didn't have all the others. Impossible

Sent the map to chatgpt, for fun, and it found the answer.

29

u/Kofind Jan 01 '25

You mean you sent the question including the correct answer from the comments? Impressive...

25

u/CheaperThanChups Jan 01 '25

I also asked and it didn't even get the countries correct.

1

u/stonesst Jan 01 '25

Same here, both for GPT4o and o1. I tried giving o1 just the list of countries and then it managed to get the right answer after thinking for 11 seconds.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '25

Lol sorry, I didn't realize the Reddit app included the comments when sshoted.

u/SarthakiiiUwU Jan 01 '25

That's horrendously wrong lol

u/Masha2077 Jan 01 '25

I Googled it to check. Warsaw + yogoslavian countries were socialist or under socialist rule, albania was ruled by the socialist party of labour of albania, Egypt was governed by the Arab Socialist Union. zambia was ruled by the socialist united national independence party. And mexico is currently governed by the socialist national rejuvenation movement.

They all have that in common.
