30 Charts That No One Probably Needed, But Here They Are Anyway

I kind of love this.

Mendel should have done gummybears instead? 🙃

Haha it's funny coz it's tru

I'm holding out for Pluto.

When busses go where and when people need to, without an hour wait for the next bus, without having to go into the city center then back out so as to reach a neighboring area, when they run late enough, they might be a viable option.

If only public transportation would be reliable enough in any way in most places...

It is sad that most people in the comments seem to never have experienced a good running public transport. Our city has bus routes on dedicated tracks and some of the routes depart every 2 to 3 minutes at rush hours. If less cars would clutter the cities the busses would have an easier time to pass through traffic. But sadly many cities especially on the american continent sacrificed their infrastructure to car dependency. If no one uses public transport the situation remains dire, and because the situation is so bad no one uses public transport.

I live a less than 10 minute drive from my work place. If I caught a bus it will take me more than 90 minutes. And doesn’t go past my kids school so I can drop them off on the way. I would LOVE to save the environment with a bus but unfortunately my local government can’t draw straight lines.

Gave up on buses years ago. Frequently late and not cheap. We used to have 2 services running every 20 minutes. Now it's one service running hourly.

To travel for work by car, it takes my dad 45 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. Fr the same journey by public transport (in an area of the country that has a very well connected public transport network, second only to London), it would take him 7 hours in the morning (due to the first train of the day not getting him to work on time so he'd have to leave on the last train at midnight) and 2.5 hours in the evening. Oh, it's only a distance of 21 miles.

We need a whole new system of transport. Maybe a few of the tech billionaires could get together with their think tanks and come up with something more useful than space rockets.

On SJ3000 there are up to 76 seats. Then it would take minimum 13. But then there are other configured train cars, with only 44 sitting spots. So not applicable here. But runs on electric and are quite nice to ride.

Or just one very flatulent person in a mall?

In what world can 250 people fit into a single train carriage?

So what's the point? A decent football stadium holds 50,000 to 100,000 people, no-one is suggesting we all go live in football stadiums to save space.

To get to our (65yrold senior) grocery store - 1mile walk no sidewalks - 1 lane road. get the bus m-f 6am - 5pm and ride for 2 1/2 hrs 3- transfers ( the store is 3 miles from the house.)

And, New York City enacted Congestion Pricing for the city. Those funds were to pay for upkeep and improvements in Public Transportation. Then the crybaby in the white house wants to cancel it, and said "long live the king"

Just try doing a weekly shop by public transport. With a trolley full of stuff, you're supposed to do what? Use the local shop instead? What local shop? That closed decades ago.

Having a car is freedom. Transit is fine when there's no parking at a city venue

My car has four usual seats, and a 'fifth' in the backseat. So a thousand people would fit into 200 cars, and some family cars will hold seven or eight comfortably. So, why 625?

Na.

I would like to eat 2π radians of that pie..

And people say GMO is bad, but all of those are Genetically Modified Organisms.

Gee, it's almost as if people in the US have some sort of free access to guns... oh wait!

Isn't staring at the toaster actually critical for it to toast?

I use this one in my writing quite a bit, useful. There is a chart that breaks it down even further out there, but my sleepy brain forgot to save it for reference and I haven't found it since.

Congratulations! Slow and steady wins the race!

The US really need to dump that fixation on two parties. In a solid democracy there are 20 parties to choose from, every vote is counting directly for the result without filters, no winner-takes-it-all and a % bar that prevents a tunnel view. This results in a coalition of 2 to 3 parties in power of governing a coumtry and 3 to 4 i opposition = the sound of reason is always present.

Baked into pie? :O

I was under the misconception it was multiply by seven.

Go back further, there's even more color. I'm so sick of looking at grayscale cars. No personality, just endless shades of grey. What free car colors we're offered are often blue-grey, green-grey, brown- grey. Like how many shades of boring are there???

And I will promptly forget this

Must be old,the latest number I saw was 8.2B? Or the number I saw is wrong?

Varies significantly by country/area.

So does the gray mean that in those areas, there are no gun laws at all?

Vennderfull!

That's a lot more camelids than I would have guessed.

Clearly, you didn't go there in person and shake hands while looking them firmly in the eye, while wearing a tie. /s

Housecat... are you kidding me! A cobra you could run from. But a cat fighting for its life will f**k you up completely!

Again old data? A quick googling found they estimate the deaths from covid is 7M?

The actual greatness of those lakes doesn't really show. There should be a scale at least...

I see hippo

So, OP went on vacation in late July/early August?

In general, pecan pie, but no thanksgiving here 🤷‍♂️

I would agree on blue - Not for the racism, but it would get way easier for a government to label opinions they don't like racist and suppress an opposition that way. The discussion about immigration from the Middle East here in Germany is a good example, if the " true democrats" (self claimed term from politicians) run out of arguments they throw racism claims all around.

Makes sense that the biggest continent has the most inhabitants (Also India being there)

And this person doesn't think that people from North Carolina have an accent?!?!?!?!?!

About the Queen . . . . . . . . .

Sounds about right

As an Indian I would like to see when elephants were domesticated

And one random rat-less spot in the middle Canada... I have questions...
