You are still using autistic to mean (a specific kind of) bad, instead of the acceptable use, which is something like "not understanding other people's emotions and social cues Very well". You are essentially still stigmatizing autism or using it pejoratively, which is not really cool.

Also this post, and presumably many others in this thread is actually autistic, because this forum tends to attract autistic people. And most of the posts (well, maybe) are good.

Autistic or not there's no way most of the posts are good.

I would assume perhaps transport volume or something with trade routes drawn on.

Can't imagine much traffic through the amazon basin, central australia, or the sahara.

I think that makes sense, the bright spots in the Sahara correspond to the big oasis towns and the lines in the Amazon correspond to the major highways through it. The Amazon's mostly empty, but if you follow the highways on a satellite view you can see a lot of farmland flanking both sides, and the produce has to go somewhere. There's also probably some diffusion at play, like, in Khazakstan it's probably more a lack of specific route data than exact truth that makes everywhere outside a city light brown--the traffic into the cities has to come from somewhere but it's not clear where, so just spread it out evenly, I guess.

Yes? Someone still arrives first, at which point the egg decides who is sexy enough to get absorbed.

Austria and the Netherlands, yes. I would guess that a lot of the membership is in church choirs. But it still all feels very random. For example the huge difference between the Netherlands and Belgium, or Denmark being so low in comparison to all surrounding countries.

Now I know poo poo about choral singing but I'd be more surprised if the differences didn't seem randomly distributed. Because these kinds of things are very much a result of peculiar cultural currents and traditions of a country and that doesn't necessarily cross into neighbouring country. It can be as simple as some dude in 19th century starting something that ballooned into a greater cultural tradition while people over the border just shake their heads about them crazy people over there. Like if a school system in one country practiced choral singing from an early age and one not, it would make a difference because people often like things they are introduced in at an early age and there are cultural institutions build around that. And now even if church participation rates are same in both countries, one has a bigger choral tradition than other. Now that's purely hypothetical, but that kind of dynamic can easily explain these kind of seemingly random differences.

Acceptability of pizza toppings by country got a lot of traffic iirc.

I think birth rates is the only recent one I’ve seen where anyone actually seemed to care about the data debate though. Back during the pandemic there were also some COVID maps that got people actually posting while losing their cool - not sure exactly which thread though, it might have been the D&D Covid thread.

E: wow, the CSPAM Covid thread is still going on with pages of daily posts. Maybe the pandemic is still ongoing.
