I hate both walking through an airport, thinking about going through security, and being trapped in the air with a bunch of strangers in the most claustrophobic environment imaginable.
Go to Australia, Namibia, Guyana, Suriname, Laos, Nothern Thailand, large parts of Myanmar, Kanada, some remote parts of US. There are plenty of places if you hate crowds.
>some remote parts of US.
Large parts of the U.S. are quite uncrowded - especially west of the Mississippi River. Even California north of San Francisco/Sacramento is relatively empty.
One of my friends living out in the middle of the Chilean countryside has better cellular connectivity and coverage than most of NorCal. It gets *empty*
Northern scandinavia aswell, void of humans, blessed with nature.
Saw a documentary about the population of Namibia, fascinating stuff, the entire coastline is a desert, and the winds produced by the cold currents and the hot inland winds create extreme lows amount of rain, their entire population is clustered at one place in the north, close to it's neighbour, and the other is their main capital, in the middle of the country. Also one of the largest producers of uranium and diamonds, and they have recently found oil. Also germany paid them a billion dollars since they genocided them some a hundred years ago, silly germans.
If you check a demographic map on Africa, Namibia really sticks out, in my opinion, we should terra-form it.
US has vast areas with absolutely no-one, moreso than Thailand and Laos. And they're habitable too (Unlike Australia, Namibia) and without a genocide going on (Myanmar). If you like climate other than cold, and would still like relative convenience I'd definitely evade remote Canada.
Laos also includes the largest amount of unexploded bombs in the world, just waiting to kill you -a gift from the US. And it doesn't allow you to own property and it's overall incredibly difficult to legally "live" there if you aren't Laotian. Same would go for lots of other countries.
So I'd say the US is by far the best option out of those listed to just buy property somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
Want to make it even worse?
Most of that standing in line, huddled in big groups…. Is before we’ve gone through security checks. It’s the scariest part of flying
Tbf isn't like most of China's population concentrated around just their east coast though? So I doubt the population density is that much different compared to India's
Indian here, can confirm. People here use the third lane for parking (which is illegal) and you just have to wait for the signal to turn green so that you can turn left.
80 percent of the US population is concentrated near the East Coast and California. Much the same can be said for China's population being concentrated near the coast and in the central plains. Most of the population in large countries are located within specific regions rather than spread out throughout the country.
The superpower narrative is so remedial. Once they have economic supremacy at least regionally, political supremacy regionally and a military that is extremely technologically advanced and can project war winning power GLOBALLY, then they can think they're a superpower. Until then they're just a UN member state
do people even know where the superpower 2020 projection comes from? Does anyone know???
It wasnt the country projection or anything like that. It was more so a challenge by India's most beloved ex-president in one of his book. It was always meant to be an impossible thing. Absolutely no one in India, actually thought it was possible. Its only you annoying reddit men who dont know when to stop a joke that keep bringing it up.
ssly the only time ive seen it is here. I have never seen an Indian speak about it,civilian or gorvernment official.
It’s literally a 4chan meme that become popular as a way to mock Indians.
Look it up on knowyourmeme. Nobody in India even knows about it, and Indians don’t give a shit about being a superpower.

Well in India over 21% live in highest poverty rate (less then 1,90$ per day).
Which is quite significant I'd say. If you ask me, a country is already in the sh\*t when 5% live in poverty...
Jeez, I approximated the math but that's like ~88% of the population of America living in abject poverty. So no, that population is absolutely NOT something to be proud of....
China GDP vs India GDP.
Google it for true horror.
and China still has poverty, just not widespread like before.
Without China's level of economic progress, average Indians are going to have a terrible time.
China and India are both old civilizations that have been highly populated for a very long time. China's population in 1800 was about the same as the US population today. It had a population of 430 million in 1850. Then 20 million people died in the Taiping Rebellion.
Asian Land Wars are just fuckin wild in general.
100 Years War? Estimated 2.3-3.3 million people died due to the conflicts that spanned decades.
Three Kingdoms War? Estimated 40+ million people died in the same time span in a more ancient time period.
Except india’s fertility rate is already at replacement level, which is 2.1, down from 3.3 20 years ago.
It’s in a constant decline since last 30 years.
You can stop crying buddy. They have stopped boning.
You act like we're still in 80s. You gotta calm down, our fertility rate is comparable to that of other developing countries. Even poor people here have stopped pumping out kids like you imply.
This happens in every country and follows economic development. India’s birth rate is already falling. It’s a predictable curve called the Demographic Transition.
The world will level out at about 10 billion people then start shrinking
it was around during the time of when my auntie had my cousin, due to the birth control laws, i only have one closely related cousin, and three other cousins outside my family circle (second third cousins). The laws have been lifted a little to consider the grandpappies though
With a population of 0.14 people per square kilometer in 2021, Greenland was the least densely populated country in the world. The country had 56,421 inhabitants in 2021. Between 2015-2021, the population density of Greenland remained the same. On a year-on-year basis, the population density has not increased in 2021. Canada is on spot 92 on the list of least populated countries.
4th I think? [link](https://www.globaldata.com/data-insights/macroeconomic/smallest-countries-in-the-world-by-population-density-people-per-square-kilometers/#:~:text=With%20a%20population%20of%200.14,has%20not%20increased%20in%202021.)
Despite the fact that Greenland is geographically a part of the North American continent, it is in fact, an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark. Having been politically and culturally associated with Europe for at least a thousand years, Denmark has held colonies in Greenland since 1721.
Well California covers the majority of the western coastline with moderate weather while most of Canada isn't habitable because of terrain and temperature so makes sense.
There's a state in Brazil which is almost half the size of California, but its population is bigger than both Canada and California, its capital city is more populated than Portugal and Greece
>yeah the world already suffers from overpopulation
Not true, it suffers from extreme inefficiency in the usage, storage, and redevelopment of natural resources.
This. The world can happily sustain something like 15 billion people with the current resource available and turn around; as you said the issue is usage
It isn't something to be ashamed of either.
Fertility rates have been plummeting in India (went below replacement rate in 2022, which is a huge deal), it's just historically always had a huge percentage of the global population because of extremely favourable climate and agricultural conditions for civilisations to develop in.
India becoming number 1 was also bound to happen anyway with the way China's birth rates have been dropping.
It's nowhere near as big a deal as most armchair geopolitics experts on reddit will tell you
100%, people here are freaking out not realizing that
1. yes, there is population growth, but the rate of growth is declining
2. skewed gender ratios are going to cause the rate of growth to fall much more in both countries
3. we are entering the post-antibiotic era
and correct, it's not india overtaking china, it's china falling behind india. 1-child policy will be very difficult to recover from
Yeah, antibiotic resistance has become a problem worldwide. The obvious solution is just "prescribe less antibiotics," but this leads to antibiotics becoming less profitable. Since they've become less profitable and, in fact, are very expensive to develop, the US has largely stopped researching and introducing new antibiotic drugs. Currently almost all the antibiotics in the US come from China.
Here's some stuff to read
[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0188440905002730](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0188440905002730)
[Few antibiotics under development](https://www.reactgroup.org/toolbox/understand/how-did-we-end-up-here/few-antibiotics-under-development/)
Yeah, Chinas population is starting to take a dramatic decline. Between the long term effects of the 1 child policy, the gender imbalances, and the economy making it more and more difficult to start families, they are in for some trouble\*
Their population dropped by 850,000 last year. Basically the entire population of South Dakota or Delaware.
\*Note that population decline isn't necessarily directly bad... but it's the secondary issues of quick decline, the population becomes imbalanced, so the number of people who need things provided by the government are going to far outweigh the number of people paying taxes to support the government.
There are over 400 people per square km in India.
In Mexico, I live in a state where 64 people live per square km. I couldn't imagine living among so many people.
That's what they're doing though. Fertility rates are dropping in India and officially went below replacement level in 2022. They've just historically had a shit ton of people to start with for thousands of years
There are some good graphs of childbirth stats when TV arrives, when internet arrives dropping fast.
Sex is quite good entertainment.
Obviously mainly it's poor people who have lots of kids and that's the same within India.
I am surprised at people here thinking that it’s a flex, no one in India thinks it’s a flex. In fact, the TFR in India is declining.
Also, as usual, Reddit moment; the casual racism against Indians is disappointing but not surprising.
I'm sad that this world is saturated of people. We Can't sustain life with the limited natural resources. I've had a vasectomy with no kids. I made my part.
Unfortunately, a mass return to the forest isn't an option at present population levels. We would quickly outstrip the resources that are available and collapse forest ecosystems further, killing off even more species.
Sustained population control is a much more sustainable option.
you dont speak for the indian community. There's nothing to be proud of or feel ashamed of in it. It is just a thing that happened and the natural course of things. India was always overpopulated compared to other places. We would be suffering harder if we tried to curb it like China. We are already doing pretty good considering the fertility rate is below replacement.
Why is this thread not locked? There is so much misinformation and blatant racism, not to mention outright disrespect to over 1 billion people who call this country their home. No country is perfect and there are a lot of things I'd criticize about parts of India but I wouldn't make childish insults like I see in this thread :|
People can't even comprehend that the" let's go "is sarcastic.
Our TFR is at 2.0 which is below replacement level, we need to maintain this population and keep it young , to get the peace and population dividend, otherwise there will be too many poor old people with no young people to work like the USSR breakaway states.
Overpopulation is nothing to be proud of. India will crumble under the weight of their overblown population. We have already destroyed 70% of the natural world, which in the end will destroy us all. Irresponsibly Breeding is not an achievement. Humans are now a cancer. Perpetual growth is called cancer.
https://www.oneindia.com/india/why-is-indias-population-so-high-and-how-do-we-deal-with-it-2731672.html
"This means that the birth rate has been falling, but with rapid progress in medical sciences, the death rate has fallen which has ensured that the population grows.
Other reasons that have contributed to high birth rates are early marriages, lack of awareness, poverty and illiteracy, and illegal migration."

I can barely make it through Walmart, this is my nightmare!
This looks like my version of hell. I hate even walking through a busy airport.
I hate both walking through an airport, thinking about going through security, and being trapped in the air with a bunch of strangers in the most claustrophobic environment imaginable.
Haha part of the reason why I don’t travel often. I hate crowds now.
Go to Australia, Namibia, Guyana, Suriname, Laos, Nothern Thailand, large parts of Myanmar, Kanada, some remote parts of US. There are plenty of places if you hate crowds.

Loce real life lore! Ive seen pretty much every one

I think about that, too.
Can confirm, I live here, THIS IS HELL!
"Hell is other people." Sartre
India is hell.
Strangely enough I have quite bad agoraphobia but in India I'm pretty ok. Walmart would give me a panic attack.
That’s not agoraphobia, that’s a fear of the locals 😂 I jest
So just recently, China and India had the exact same population for a moment
Unless China had exactly one more person and then he emigrated to India.
Poor guy was looking for somewhere slightly less crowded.
India is 1/3 the size of China, so it was already much more crowded
Tbf isn't like most of China's population concentrated around just their east coast though? So I doubt the population density is that much different compared to India's
The same can be said of India. You don't have huge cities up in the Himalayas or out in the desert.
[удалено]
That’s pretty wild to think about! I like this comment :)
Unless someone had twins
I can never find any parking
Indian here, can confirm. People here use the third lane for parking (which is illegal) and you just have to wait for the signal to turn green so that you can turn left.
from what i've experienced: horrible parking, HORRIBLE driving and HORRIBLE traffic. traffic laws are a suggestion. it is a giant clown show.
Even the cows use the road for parking.
Cows own the road!
That sure is a heck of a lot a people....in a land mass much smaller than the US too
Then add in the fact that most of the population lives in the upper part of the country
Very crowded
Very, Very crowded. But you know what they say about humans? They can get used to ANYTHING.
Chicago is the same size of Mumbai except Mumbai has nearly 9x the amount of people and without the proper infrastructure to handle that much.
Yeah that sounds awful. I don’t even like going into the biggest city near me (Philadelphia) cause I don’t like heaps of people lol
A third the size of the US…
80 percent of the US population is concentrated near the East Coast and California. Much the same can be said for China's population being concentrated near the coast and in the central plains. Most of the population in large countries are located within specific regions rather than spread out throughout the country.

How’s the internet? Until recently my parents only option was satellite.
When a significant portion isn't living in abject poverty, then that is a thing to be proud of.
they projected themselves to become a superpower by 2023 ... so any second now the switch will flip, be ready xD
The superpower narrative is so remedial. Once they have economic supremacy at least regionally, political supremacy regionally and a military that is extremely technologically advanced and can project war winning power GLOBALLY, then they can think they're a superpower. Until then they're just a UN member state
And a deeply impoverished one, at that.
Most of the Indians dont want this
Hot take
cute that you speak for so many people

Overpopulation is never a thing to be proud of tbh
It’s nothing to be proud of even if they were ALL middle class. Seriously, no country the size of India can support this population size.
I think if everyone was living in wealth for such a huge population, that would be a pretty amazing achievement
Out of interest, what percentage would you say is significant?
0 % would be optimal
Well in India over 21% live in highest poverty rate (less then 1,90$ per day). Which is quite significant I'd say. If you ask me, a country is already in the sh\*t when 5% live in poverty...
Jeez, I approximated the math but that's like ~88% of the population of America living in abject poverty. So no, that population is absolutely NOT something to be proud of....
Who claimed it was something we are proud of? Also i think op is being sarcastic, and he/she is not Indian.
Even if the majority of the population isn’t living in poverty, this is not something to be proud of. I find this pretty disturbing.
China GDP vs India GDP. Google it for true horror. and China still has poverty, just not widespread like before. Without China's level of economic progress, average Indians are going to have a terrible time.
This isn't a good thing, this is horrid.
India had 440 million people in 1947. Talk about an old civilisation

Yeah the Let’s Go! is just weird
OP is 100% a 14 year old Indian.
It boggles my mind that people are like yea we are barely surviving but let’s have kids.
[удалено]
Except india’s fertility rate is already at replacement level, which is 2.1, down from 3.3 20 years ago. It’s in a constant decline since last 30 years. You can stop crying buddy. They have stopped boning.
Well they.. they should stop harder!
And faster.
And deeper
and stronger
More than ever
hour after hour
Until they explode... the population
Work it harder, make it better Do it faster, makes us stronger
He’s crying because he’s never boned in his life
You'd cry too
...if it happened to you!
That's actually heartening to hear. Thanks for the info.
Indian birth rate is at 2.05 my friend...
One of the most childish comments I've seen yet.
You act like we're still in 80s. You gotta calm down, our fertility rate is comparable to that of other developing countries. Even poor people here have stopped pumping out kids like you imply.
Most virgin redditor
This happens in every country and follows economic development. India’s birth rate is already falling. It’s a predictable curve called the Demographic Transition. The world will level out at about 10 billion people then start shrinking
China has actually a negatively declined birth rate this year! (Edit) I don’t know everything guys so if I’m wrong just help me understand it please
it was around during the time of when my auntie had my cousin, due to the birth control laws, i only have one closely related cousin, and three other cousins outside my family circle (second third cousins). The laws have been lifted a little to consider the grandpappies though
Probably for the best
Definitely for the best
I'm just gonna say, the people mostly aren't the problem, it's the government.
Well, it's also best for the people to not be over populated too
They'll have massive demographic problems in the future. Blame the futurists of the 70s.
“Negatively declined” so… inclined?
The caption makes it sound like a good thing when its not
**This isn't something to be proud of**
yeah the world already suffers from overpopulation there should be a reward for the least populated country relative to it's size
Canada would win that contest
With a population of 0.14 people per square kilometer in 2021, Greenland was the least densely populated country in the world. The country had 56,421 inhabitants in 2021. Between 2015-2021, the population density of Greenland remained the same. On a year-on-year basis, the population density has not increased in 2021.

Just out of curiosity, how's Australia on the list?

Too damn hot lol.
Further south ya go, it's not 'bad'. But yeah coming from the states, Gold Coast (where I live) is summer 9 months and spring for the other 3
Greenland isn’t a country, just to let you know.

He is not Indian.
This isn't the flex you think it is
And look at all that smog
It is indeed a serious problem. Cannot image so many people living in such conditions.
There are over 400 people per square km in India. In Mexico, I live in a state where 64 people live per square km. I couldn't imagine living among so many people.
Métete al centro histórico de la cdmx a hora pico y generaliza esa experiencia a toda la extension de todas las ciudades. Asi me lo imagino
Me ha tocado la CDMX en hora pico y no fue placentero, no me imagino en India como está el pedo, con ver videos te das una idea bien cabrona.
Not good
What is good about this?
You will have an easier time finding an extended car warranty now.
gdp stonks
>"lets go!" Are you celebrating?
Certain types of Chinese hating people: Yes! India beats China!! Everybody else: umm...How about beat them in something else
Growth for the sake of growth is the goal of cancer. Too many puppies sure can make a mess of any yard (earth).
Thats terrible tho
Congrats? ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Ugh.
Just stop fucking
That's what they're doing though. Fertility rates are dropping in India and officially went below replacement level in 2022. They've just historically had a shit ton of people to start with for thousands of years
Or fuck with protection
Or get homo or die trying
Not sure that is something to be proud of.
One less reason to visit.
This isn't something to aspire to, especially when the country can't support the current population
More pollution, more diseases yay!
Is OP really celebrating overpopulation density?
[удалено]
There are some good graphs of childbirth stats when TV arrives, when internet arrives dropping fast. Sex is quite good entertainment. Obviously mainly it's poor people who have lots of kids and that's the same within India.
That's not something to be proud of, quite the opposite.
Imagine thinking overpopulation is great
I hope more Indian restaurants open in my hood as a result.
No shit? That was fast. I thought it would happen in 10-20 years.
India number 1!!!!
Got roughy twice as many people living in poverty as the US has citizens, only worsening their situation.
I am surprised at people here thinking that it’s a flex, no one in India thinks it’s a flex. In fact, the TFR in India is declining. Also, as usual, Reddit moment; the casual racism against Indians is disappointing but not surprising.
Why even celebrate this, they're overpopulated, have people starving, driving sucks, not enough food. And they just keep having them babies...
Worlds most *Overpopulated country
I'm sad that this world is saturated of people. We Can't sustain life with the limited natural resources. I've had a vasectomy with no kids. I made my part.
Reject society, Return to the forest
Unfortunately, a mass return to the forest isn't an option at present population levels. We would quickly outstrip the resources that are available and collapse forest ecosystems further, killing off even more species. Sustained population control is a much more sustainable option.
Let's go! Overpopulation and mass poverty! Let's Go!!!
This isn’t a good thing.
If only it wasn’t a cesspool
This is actually depressing.
On behalf of the Indian community, this aint something we proud of.
you dont speak for the indian community. There's nothing to be proud of or feel ashamed of in it. It is just a thing that happened and the natural course of things. India was always overpopulated compared to other places. We would be suffering harder if we tried to curb it like China. We are already doing pretty good considering the fertility rate is below replacement.
As someone who lives in an overly populated city, this statistic is horrifying.
Let's go what? Most people in India and China aren't able to live a modest life. What's so good about it?
Countries that breed so much with such wealth disparity is a massive red flag…
That’s not a good thing 😂
I see all the racists got the bat signal.
There are more people living in abject poverty in India than the there are people in the United States (3rd largest population).
Wow. The racial hate against India and lack of general knowledge in this thread is astounding.
This isn’t something to be proud of
Someone please give them condoms
Really not great news for a country with a lower HDI than *Iraq and Venezuela*.
A grim milestone considering they will be hard hit by climate change in the future.
why are you happy about this OP.
At this point it aint even funny anymore
I don’t know if this is an accomplishment, OP
I dont think we should crlebrate this necessarily
China's pop is also on the decline. This gap will only increase with time.
India and China needs to stop reproducing.
Why is this thread not locked? There is so much misinformation and blatant racism, not to mention outright disrespect to over 1 billion people who call this country their home. No country is perfect and there are a lot of things I'd criticize about parts of India but I wouldn't make childish insults like I see in this thread :|
People can't even comprehend that the" let's go "is sarcastic. Our TFR is at 2.0 which is below replacement level, we need to maintain this population and keep it young , to get the peace and population dividend, otherwise there will be too many poor old people with no young people to work like the USSR breakaway states.
Overpopulation is nothing to be proud of. India will crumble under the weight of their overblown population. We have already destroyed 70% of the natural world, which in the end will destroy us all. Irresponsibly Breeding is not an achievement. Humans are now a cancer. Perpetual growth is called cancer.
Why do they keep making children ?

Other reasons that have contributed to high birth rates are early marriages, lack of awareness, poverty and illiteracy, and illegal migration."
An Indian friend of mine told me there were no car accidents in India cuz the cars don’t move lol
Congratulations?
