I uh, this seems like a not great chart to me but what do I know.



It's from wikipedia and the previous 5 revisions don't seem much better.
I like that they went the extra mile and inverted the legend, because it wasn't already hard enough to read.

the data itself doesn't matter since it's dummy data I'm using to learn the viz tool, but I lol'd irl when I put data on a second y-axis and this happened

They're probably counting Belgium, which is mentioned as planning to take action but hasn't announced it yet.

I liked New Zealand saying they'd expel a Russian diplomat if they had any.

Polar-ish coordinates with the zero radial distance being 40 years. 72 is over double the radial distance of 52; this graph sucks in basically every way.

The GOP supports a minimum wage of twenty‐five dollars per hour now?
The chart sucks rear end but the federal minimum wage in 1970 was $1.60 (~$10.61 in 2019 dollars), not $3.22 (~$21.35). It's not comparing minimum wage, it's comparing the "average wage," and it matches the value here for private industry (but who knows where they actually sourced it). Median weekly earnings of full time employees in 2019 was $919/wk in Q3 2019 or $22.96/hr, assuming 40hr/wk (which is a rash assumption) (source).

The prices for goods are wonky and misleading but the salaries are entirely unsourced and entirely unexplained so it's just an absolutely dogshit chart.

I don't understand how that happens by mistake or why it would happen on purpose. That y-axis is hosed beyond belief and I don't know how someone would even do that. The overall trend is basically the same compared to a normal graph, so it's not like there's really any deception happening. Baffling.

I'd never heard the phrase "alligator tears" over "crocodile tears" and when I heard it in You should be sad by Halsey, I googled it to see yeah, some people use it. Then, since I was curious, I looked to see if anyone else did something similar:

At risk of drawing a causative relationship where there isn't one, the song did come out on January 10th (and then the album was released the 17th).

Base ∞ is the optimal base because you can represent all real numbers with a single digit. Very efficient.

e: CORRECTION: 22.64%, there are two "Malfoy" names on there and I accidentally thought I recognized both of them as "antagonist kid from Evil House". Not certain, but guessing the kid is the one with way more graph connections and the other is a relation? Whatever, I declare this still counts as 1 out of 2 in the recognition tally.
Lucius is Draco's dad.

e: the only reason I even recognize the name Hannah Abbott is because she shows up in a Harry Potter / D&D crossover fanfic that was more entertaining than Harry Potter and is the only fanfic I've actually read

I drive a car in the Camry/CR-V range and you should require a special license to drive above that. Like you need 3+ children to get a minivan and those children need to be 200lbs+ to get an SUV.

Is Cammy the trans character?
There’s probably a ton of people who have only seen her from the Fortnite crossover, honestly. Crazy how many IPs are present in Fortnite at this point.

No, I think that’s Poison.
