Not technically a graph, but still a dumb way to represent data. I saw an expiration date on a product that said "Best before two years after June 2015". Why not just say "Best before June 2017"? :psyduck:

Especially because most people will only see "June 2015".

Clearly what was missing from that graph was the fourth panel spelling out the joke to the reader.

You could say that, but prostitutes generally don't get a diploma certifying that they finished prostitution school and it's safe to hire their services :v:

You've been going to the wrong prostitutes.

Wow, at first I thought they just distended the scale to only show the upper end but :laffo: they just made up the bar heights.

I imagine that guy took over ticket sales in the 12/13 season and he made that poster to make himself look better.

Maybe they just wanted to find out when the Men's Day was, because I certainly didn't know.

Who the gently caress cares when international men's day is other than a broken person?

A 3d graph where both position and sphere sizes are significant - worst idea, or worstest idea?

That's one hell of a way to represent a standard line chart to people who are afraid of straight lines

I dunno, I've always heard the political spectrum described as horseshoe shaped.
Though, not necessarily in a way that equates feminism with racism.

I like the radicalism with no further description. "What do we want?" "Kickflips!" "When do want them?" "Now!"

Radical!

I've been mulling it over for a while, is radical anything automatically dragged to that spot on the spectrum? is a radical nationalist extremely left wing

Radical means left, reactionary means right.

This was explicitly intended as a joke. Where did you get this? Did you do puzzle safari?

I realize it's a joke, it's from Silicon Valley. It was in response to the 'up up up!' comment which I quoted right there at the top of my post.

Why are Europe and Central Asia grouped?

Those are very different places. :psyduck:

Probably to include Russia with Europe.

That graph isn't meant to be misleading, it's just trying to rip off this famous inforgraphic:


Unfortunately the authors have no idea why the original works.

I'll bet you my left pinky toe that it was also meant to be misleading.

Yeah that's what I meant, sorry for being unclear.
