We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Chlamydia affects less than one percent of people in Taiwan, 3.7 percent of people in Australia(according to the statistics), so Australia was way ahead even without a 100% chlamydial jump bear supplement.
I blame sexy koalas!
Sure, but they get the blame for everything.
Wow! No one told me that I have Taiwanese citizenship as well!
So we exist in both places at once?!!!
Yea, you never got a blood test?
Ni hao ma-te.
No thanks, I’ve already eaten.
Taiwan is my favorite country
It's pretty great. Maybe not my favorite, but it's floating around the top of my list for sure.
If you look at habitable zones, most of Australias cities are around the coast. The center supports very little due to the arid climate.
Australia is so ridiculously huge that even the relatively tiny fraction that's amenable to crops is still one of the world's biggest. Only 4% of its land is arable and that still means it has the 10th largest arable area of any country (ten times more arable land than Taiwan has any kind of land)
The center of Taiwan is very mountainous so most of the population of Taiwan is around the coast as well.
I think your data may be old? Current estimates have Taiwan's population at 23.4m and 27m for Australia's. The disparity in density still stands though!
Thank you!
Heard it on a podcast by the economist from 2023, first search results showed Australia 23.6, Taiwan 23.4-7, and I TILed.
Maybe the host was being loose with his numbers and my search results were coincidental.
The similarity in population is still shocking to me
One of these is a continent
Typical Aussie inefficiency, all the blood rushing to their heads constantly makes for some interesting choices
