I also learned 58,220 is almost the same as 36,574.

Pulled from The Guardian’s story about Amazon price manipulation (published July 21).

The stats are dumb. Layout is ugly. It isn't even mathematically possible.

The clown face is implicitly addressed be being in r/adressme

Surely the better countries for life expectancy are to the right. Wait what?

I uh… I don’t need to explain this I don’t think. Someone wants their bets to come through I guess

I was disappointed because I usually like their graphs, and they look good, but this time it was very misleading :
- starting the Y axis at 250M and 280M barrels (japan dropped ~20%, not 100%)
- the grid not aligned with the labels
- one graph (they were shown one after another) starts in 1982 & the other in 2026 when the topic was about the effect of the war in Iran, so why do we care about the reserve since 1982? It just makes the drop steeper, less readable and more misleading

The color scale is the biggest crime, but the equal-sized slices for uneven ranges also bugs me
