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.

Why would I care? Neither is it my life nor am I affected by it. Some people like when their partners are older than them, some prefer younger. Actually, while being in my twenties, I am mostly attracted to men around 40. It seems all of his girlfriends started relationships with him out of their own free will. As long as both sides are okay with this (and they apparently were), who am I to criticize?

Hardest Golfing President
Honu 5 years ago
Another thing to bear in mind is that Obama usually golfed at military installations hear DC. Since presidents need a large security team, that was much less expensive to the government than flying them to private golf resorts. Not to mention the fact that Trump often flew to his own golf resorts making the government pay his companies to accommodate his entourage.

KiwiBubbles 5 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.
