Remember when encyclopedias were our go-to source for world knowledge? If that's the case, it's time to take an ibuprofen for your back... Today's information explosion delivers fascinating facts at lightning speed, but often as overwhelming walls of text that our brains simply skim past. That's where these brilliant infographics come to the rescue. They transform complex information into visual stories our minds actually want to absorb.

Colors, shapes, and clever illustrations work together to make learning effortless and—dare we say it—genuinely fun! From showing how the alphabet evolved to visualizing how to find the best watermelon, these thirty masterfully designed infographics turn data into discovery. Each one distills information down to its most engaging essence, proving once again that a well-crafted image truly is worth a thousand words. Whether you're a visual learner or just appreciate smart design, these infographics reveal fascinating world facts in ways that simply stick with you.

Yeah, and can we add one for OCD, "liking everything to be lined up just so" c/w "a crippling illness that compels the sufferer to do things over and over again to relieve their anxiety to an extent that interferes with a normal life".

    Assuming that’s price to the consumer. The info here isn’t correct for the UK. I’m assuming some researcher looked at the standard prescription charge in “the NHS” and got England, Scotland for example is free for all prescriptions on the NHS. In addition I believe in England you can buy a pass to make prescriptions free and those on benefits etc don’t pay either.

In Scotland Wiki states IT MAY (although imho extremely unlikely) be illegal under hate laws enacted recently but for this infographic it’s not going to be versus England (maybe Wales/NI - I’m not sure) where it looks to be covered in the “two police clauses act” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knock_down_ginger

    Japanese Type A outlets (as shown above) are actually compatible with non-grounded North American NEMA Type-1 (except that Japan uses 100 volts, while North America uses 125 volts, so you have to use a voltage converter), and Japanese Type B outlets are physically identical to NEMA Type-5 (shown above). Also, Thai outlets use the same design as the Type B and Type-5, but output 240 volts, so yeah, don't plug your North American or Japanese products into a Thai outlet.....
