40 Interesting Charts People Shared On This Group That Might Change Your Perspective On Things
Interview
Data is beautiful—and I’m in love. I swear it’s not just because of its gorgeous pie charts, voluptuous curves, and stunning axes... Promise! When it comes to showing off just how stunningly data can be presented, there’s no better to place to feast your eyes than the ‘Data is Beautiful’ subreddit that hosts a massive community of over 15.6 million people and which celebrated its 9th birthday in February.
The community is full of math, statistics, and art lovers, as well as professionals who use data every day. Often, they get so inspired by the eye-pleasing charts and graphs, they create their own and end up on the front page of Reddit.
We’ve collected some of the most aesthetic expressions of data found on r/DataIsBeautiful for you to enjoy, so scroll on down and have a peek, dear Pandas. As you dive deep into the world of stats, upvote the images that you liked the most. Remember, the charts love it when the numbers go up. (Pssst, the subreddit even has its own Twitter page and Discord server.)
I had a lovely chat with some of the moderators running the ‘Data is Beautiful’ community, including redditors NotABotStill and PHealthy. So be sure to read on for the in-depth insights they shared with Bored Panda about the ins and outs of how the small team of professionals manages the massive community of content creators. They’re a very friendly bunch, so you shouldn’t hesitate to join the community if you’re into charts, graphs, maps, or, well… simply love looking at pretty pictures.

It took several long eternities for my brain to register that she'd stopped speaking and the second part of that (a la Die Hard) wasn't coming.
Despite having millions and millions of members, the subreddit still maintains some of the core tenets that they had when it was still founded. The moderator team is purposefully left as a small group of professionals who focus on data visualization as some part of their careers and lives. That passion for data translates into passion for the r/DataIsBeautiful community.
What’s more, the subreddit treats its original content creators as “first-class citizens,” constantly engaging them, and making sure they’re credited and acknowledged for their work (as all creators should be!).
“We bring a data-centric view of the world to millions of people every day—from important information about the COVID-19 pandemic all the way to a random dude's daily bowel movements—and our community prides itself in that fact. For example, we had community members posting analyses and projections of COVID-19 trends back in January and February 2020—well before anyone in the U.S. was taking the pandemic seriously. /r/DataIsBeautiful is THE place to go when you want to see the signal through the noise of hectic daily life,” one of the moderators explained why the community is so loved and popular.

To be honest, being an European myself, I'm more interested in attacks in Europe than in those in Africa - it's just more relatable. Also, Europe, at least when it comes to its western and central part, generally has stable situation - no war, no bigger conflicts. At the same time quite a big part of Africa suffers from bigger or smaller armed conflicts. Given this situation, of course attacks and victims in Europe are more covered in media, because they're less expected, therefore more shocking for general TV viewer. .

Naturally, for the same reasons, I take more interest in what happens in Europe as well. However, when I realise how Africa isn't very far from Europe, these things start worrying me too. Specifically, I'm talking about the Mediterranean.

Temperature blankets can be quilted or crocheted. Each quilt block or crocheted line represents one day typically. You do a block/line each day for a year. At the beginning you assign a color for each temperature range. For example say 30°-35° is peacock blue, and 36°-40° degrees is ice blue, ect. Some people actually do the block/line on the day and so do a block/line for everyday for an entire year and some pick a year and use weather data. I quilted one for my husband years ago for the temperatures of our first year of marriage. Depending on your region they can turn our very beautiful!

The clocks move every time their respective person tells a lie. So, this clock, Abraham Lincoln’s, shows that he lied twice in his life, and this clock, Mother Teresa’s, shows that she never lied.’ ‘Well, now I’m curious.

Redditor NotABotStill has been a moderator at r/DataIsBeautiful for two years and revealed to Bored Panda that the mod team is global, with members living in the EU, US, and APAC, so that they can cover all the time zones.
The level of professionalism that they have is pleasantly surprising. However, that makes sense once you realize that they’re actually all professionals in their personal lives and are a very close-knit group who regularly communicate. You can expect this level of dedication from people running a successful company.
“We certainly refine the rules over time. For example, we no longer allow YouTube videos as it was being abused by content creators looking for subs on their channel. We also occasionally temporarily prohibit specific subjects, like Tinder or dating posts, when a topic overwhelms the subreddit although dating posts are allowed again,” moderator NotABotStill explained.

And you would not believe, 20 years into the 21st Century, just how many of them were totally unprepared for it. Files still all paper and not digitized, so inaccessible from home, phone systems not set up to forward calls to home numbers, and company internet/intranet not set up to be accessible from home. Then you get management freaking out because they can’t physically micromanage you, so they weigh you down with time-wasting Zoom meetings, and hundreds of redundant emails (every manager sending an email about the same damn thing, and insisting you reply within 10 minutes—-instead of getting themselves together and sending one email you can send to them all), to the point where you can’t get actual “heads down” work done, then fuss at you with more emails and Zoom meetings, because it isn’t done. You end up working long past 5pm to get that work caught up because management is finally off their f*****g computers and letting you alone for the first time that day.

“We also only allow personal posts (posts about the poster such as miles jogged over a year as an example) on Mondays which I believe we instituted during my tenure. That's just a flavor of the types of rules we add, adjust, or remove over time. Rule changes are done by consensus of the mods and we will often spend days or weeks deciding on new rules and how to word them,” they said that they’re always moving towards perfection, with a lot of time spent on making the subreddit better and better.
The moderators manually approve or remove each and every post, but they mostly rely on their fellow redditors to report posts and comments that violate their rules of conduct. They also use AutoMod to help move the process along. Posts that go against the rules end up being automatically removed, so the mods can spend more time on important issues rather than chores.

I think the correlation is more about greater exposure to more progressive thought, diversity, and macro / global worldview through the experience of attending colleges and universities that result in graduates tending to lean towards progressive and liberal political views.

John Edgar Werner Philips 4 years ago
I wouldn't say that, personally. I know plenty of people who are smart without having gone through higher education, and also people with a college degree who lack critical thinking skills. It's often more a question of personal priorities. One example: mining is simply on its way out, which is bad news for miners. Republicans promised to help them, so that's who they vote for. Doesn't mean they're stupid, just that they're scared. Another example: Crippling student debt is a big deal for many with a college degree, Democrats promised to help them, so that's who they vote for. Doesn't mean they're smart, just scared. There are of course many, many, many more factors.

True, however the same is true about Obama vs. McCain, but if it was posted it'd be racist to assume the correlation.
“Most posts are visible immediately, however, we also utilize AutoMod to ‘filter’ out posts that likely violate a rule. Speaking of AutoMod, we heavily rely on it to filter, or make invisible, both posts and comments based on keywords, user karma, and URL links (to name a few) which then have to be manually approved before they are visible. We also utilize it to automatically remove posts that violate our rules (e.g., YouTube links or directly linking an image and not claiming [OC]) so we mods don't even have to see them.”
NotABotStill pointed out to us that popular posts on the subreddit “are often approved multiple times” because they’re reported while some posters end up reposting the images because the AutoMod catches the [OC] error. That means that the number of original monthly posts is probably closer to 1,500 to 2,000, once you do away with the reposts and multiple approvals.

Since graduating I have worked a temp job, then got a full time job, then was exposed to COVID at work, was told I had to still come into the same office where I was exposed to the virus instead of quarantining, so I had to resign. That was April 2020. I have been unemployed since, even though I submit several applications every week, even for jobs I could’ve qualified for before I went back to college. I’ve had some callbacks and a few second interviews, but no offers. Then unemployment stopped paying benefits, decided exposure to the virus at work isn’t a COVID-related job loss, so sent me a bill for all the benefits they paid me, even though they originally said it WAS a COVID-related job loss.. Ever heard the saying “can’t get blood from a turnip”? Believe me, I would much rather be working too.

From original post: "218d I made this visual using R with ggplot and ScreentoGif using data from this 2019 Nature Geoscience study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6675609/). Raw data is available here: (www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/study/21171). Climate model runs are available here: (http://pcmdi9.llnl.gov/). Outcomes of the study are available here: (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/study/26872). The line represents the twenty-year rolling average of yearly temperature deviation from the 1961-1990 average global temperature. Link to a still image of the final frame: (https://imgur.com/a/nTVqfJx) From the paper: “Here, we use seven different statistical methods to reconstruct [global mean surface temperature] over the past 2,000 years. The methods range from a basic composite-plus-scaling (CPS) and regression-based techniques (PCR, M08) frequently used in past reconstructions, to newer linear methods (OIE, BHM) and techniques that account for nonlinear relations between proxy values and temperature (PAI), or combine information from proxy data and climate models (DA). The statistical models draw from a global collection of temperature-sensitive paleoclimate records.” Further, they state: “Agreement on both the timing and amplitude of GMST variability across the reconstruction and simulation ensembles suggests that some aspect of the observed multi-decadal variability is externally forced, principally by changes in the frequency and amplitude of volcanic forcing over the pre-industrial past millennium and anthropogenic GHGs (greenhouse gases) and aerosols thereafter.” The takeaway of this visual is that, yes, climate change does happen naturally due to environmental factors like volcanic forcing. However, the speed with which temperature has increased since the industrial revolution, which is made apparent by this visual, is not reasonably attributable to anything except for the emission of greenhouse gases and aerosols into the atmosphere by humans. If nothing is done very soon and very quickly to sharply reduce or even eliminate GHG emissions, this rapid temperature increase will continue, and keep destabilizing the global climate. Here are some resources for further reading if you’re interested: Greenhouse gases: https://www.livescience.com/37821-greenhouse-gases.html#:~:text=A%20greenhouse%20gas%20is%20any,ultimately%20leads%20to%20global%20warming. Global warming vs climate change: https://climate.nasa.gov/resources/global-warming-vs-climate-change/ Climate change evidence: https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ Edit: I'm not sure why the final frame isn't pausing for some of you.

So, among Greenland (50/50 white/red) and Canada (~33/66 white/red), when Russia comes in with (33/33/33 white/blue/red) there is no change at all? In fact, the first change that happens after that remarkably slim strip of bright rose at the very top of Greenland, the first hue change comes in where no other country gets added ... why is there a change in the middle of Canada/Greenland/Russia/Norway/Sweden/Finland when nothing else gets added ...?

Meanwhile, images like this one and this one might be popular because of the subject matter and what Redditors prefer, however, they’re “awful” and “difficult to read.”
Finally, here’s an example of great data visualization that, unfortunately, doesn’t do great because the subject matter doesn’t appeal to the audience or it’s too technical.

You could add another line for value of salary after graduation. Pretty sure someone with a Bachelor’s in the Liberal Arts or Social Sciences in 1980 got a job at least somewhat related to their major after graduation that was actually entry level and paid better (adjusting for inflation) than a comparable job would now, thereby allowing them to pay off their considerably lower student loan debt—-which itself was likely already partly paid off because working part time through college would pay their living expenses and allow them to borrow less. Working full time would allow them to pay for a large chunk of it, so they’d owe even less.

The States In Blue Have A Combined Total Population Equal To Los Angeles County, In Red
Honu 4 years ago
While I think gerrymandering should be abolished, it factors into the results for state legislatures and for the representatives they send to the federal House of Representatives. Those are things that happen within a single state. Gerrymandering is un-democratic (little d for democracy, not talking about the Democratic Party). It skews the districts to manipulate the outcome by effectively burying some people's votes. That is bad. The places where these population differences make a huge impact are in the Senate and the Electoral College. Each state gets 2 Senators (that's a statewide vote, so districts don't matter). So Wyoming with ~600K people gets the same vote as California with ~40M. For Electoral College votes, you get the number of electors equal to your congressional representation. So the minimum is 3. Every state gets 2 Senate votes and at least 1 House vote, no matter the population. So the low population states get more votes per capita than the populous states.

In America, Young Adults Are Now More Likely To Live With Parents Than Spouses
Enuya 4 years ago
I believe the same may apply to other countries. First of all, many couples decide not to marry, so I believe "spouse" and "partner" should be count together. Also, nowadays people are starting families much later than in the past - that's a good thing in my opinion, because this way they have more time to develop themselves, experiment and in general to "find the most adequate for them way of living". And... unfortunately typical 26-years-old is not able to afford their own house or even apartment, so living with parents sometimes sounds like the most reasonable option, especially when it comes to poorer families.
Ozacoter 4 years ago
Yeah. I really hate when people separate spouse and partner and it really happens very often. If you are commited to a person it doesnt matter how you formalised it. Why would a married couple oslf 6 months be a family but not a non married couple of 10 years?

As long as both sides are okay with this (and they apparently were), who am I to criticize?

The biggest problem here isn't that he likes women younger than him - it's that he ditches them once they are 25, consistently. 18-25 is a REALLY limited age range to be attracted to! It's one thing to prefer partners older/younger than you, and quite another to update to a newer version every couple of years, the way that other people get a new car or smart phone... it suggests that "fresh" is more important than any unique traits of the person.

Same! And it usually, not always, but usually, a large age gap indicates the older person is at least somewhat controlling; doesn't matter if a woman or man is older. It also usually, not always, but usually indicates issues with insecurity and immaturity in the older person.

I thought Cinderella was SOOOO well done that's my favorite live action. The Jungle Book was splendid as well, especially with the CGI. Aladdin was so-so. Lady and the Tramp was a good storyline but the cgi was freaky, same with the lion king. Mulan was really good because they made it more cultural and I loved how they added the Witch-it gave both Mulan and Xianniang much more depth. I'm excited to see the live action Cruella, because Maleficent was so good. Beauty and the Beast was so good. The actor who played Beast was phenomenal, and the movie itself was so pretty.

The problem with relying on donations, is that the donor decides where the money goes, which issues and inequalities get addressed, who gets help. Through higher taxation of the rich and reduction of tax loop holes, the government, i. e. the people, decide where the need lies. In theory. The government should be helping those who are most in need, and doing things that help the most people, like saving the environment. Theory.

What's The Biggest One Hit Wonder On Spotify?
Cassie 4 years ago
Pink lettering on a pink background and white lettering on a light blue background make this difficult to read and nearly impossible to read for some with vision impairment. I'd really like to make out what it says, but I am one of those with a vision impairment and just cannot see it well enough to read it, sadly. :(

Hopefully BP knows they shouldn't post screenshots of an animated GIF. That sort of ruins the effect.

No, they don't. They don't care. There have been videos reduced to just a screenshot. They copy paste otjer people's content for the ad and tracking revenue. That's all this site is about.

Songs Have Gotten Louder Over Time
Rob Chapman 4 years ago
This is what's known as the "loudness war". When mastering a recording, dynamic range compression is maximized to produce the loudest possible sound. It became rampant in the 90's. It usually results in LESS dynamic recordings.
DC 4 years ago
... and led to the prjudice that you don't need much dynamic range in Rock and Roll, while it actually does benefit from having said range. The loudness war is an effort to make music sound good on first perception when played through a croaking mobile phone. In every setting but this, the loudness-war's first victim is the music it is fought on.

Well, the evolution of electronic instruments and our ability to modify the singers vocals makes sense.
M O'Connell 4 years ago
Considering we're starting in 1920, when all instrumentation would have been acoustic it makes sense that recordings would be designed for low-volume listening.

For Everyone Asking Why I Didn't Include The Spanish Flu And Other Plagues In My Last Post
Fluffy Griffin 4 years ago
This guy did a chart on infectious diseases day one of reporting and day 100. (It's way up the list). The deaths of the Spanish flu were so massive on day 100 that it pushed all the other diseases to the very margins of the chart. So that's why he didn't include Spanish flu on the original.

I did some research on that, most tarp injuries are falls sustained by truck drivers while covering or uncovering their loads, followed up by construction workers injured when covering or uncovering sites or equipment.

Covid Cases And Deaths In The U.S. As A Percentage Of Total Population. 1 Square = 10,000 People
KiwiBubbles 4 years ago
So what you're saying is that's 170,000 deaths. 170,000 families devastated in mourning, 170,000 best friends now struggling with grief. Tens of thousands of parents who've lost their children, or children who've lost their parents or grandparents, or spouses/significant others who've lost the loves of their lives. Actually, when you consider how many people just one individual is important to, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people who are now mourning. Hurting. And it could be prevented, we could STOP it and SAVE people if we look at it THAT way and take it SERIOUSLY and have empathy. Please.
Adult Cereals 4 years ago
Right. Its like the people that say its only like 2% mortality rate, so that means we dont need to take precautions. That small percentage still died, people had to watch their beloved spouses, friends, and family die. It doesnt matter how small the mortality rate is, people still died. It scary how selfish people can be.

546,000 death. As of today, there are 546,000 people who died of covid in the US. In Canada 22,787 people died of covid. In Italy 106,000 people died.

As of today (March 25, 2021) in the US it's at 30,100,000 cases and 545,000 deaths.

Wow, these are depressingly large. It gets worse when you realise the visualisation is as at 14 August 2020. To bring the chart up to date you need to extend the yellow in a stripe to the left... across most of the width of the green (there have now been 6 times as many cases) and the paint the red in a stripe upwards.... over half way up the width of the yellow section (more than 3 times as many deaths).

I like this a lot, but what I condemn is that sources are not directly given with the pictures, or, with easily shared pictures, even embedded into them. It is just to easy to forge such figures that are not based on facts that those based on facts shold make good examples!

No. 12 is wrong, at least for germany. The chancellor is the equivalent to prime minister not the queen. You should list the federal presidents instead. The current one is Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
