Most of us have a general idea of how we learn best. Some might retain information better by listening or taking notes, while others may prefer being hands-on with the topic or looking at tables and diagrams. When it comes down to it, there’s no one size fits all.
Today, visual learners are in luck because we’re looking at a subreddit called “Infographics,” a collection of data visualizations in various forms, like bar charts and heat maps. Full of colors and creative imagery, they’re both educational and fun. Scroll down to find the best ones that might change the way you see the world.

The date format is worse in Canada because it is supposed to be day/month/year but because of how much we trade with the US, you'll see a combination of the 2 formats being used. So fun trying to guess the date for the 1st-12th of the month
Infographics are a creative way to display data that breaks up complex information into bite-sized pieces. For this reason, it can be a great learning tool in education.
For one, such visualization can hold a person’s attention for longer. As people are exposed to more and more information every day, it’s hard to keep them focused and prevent them from quickly moving on to the next shiny piece of statistics.
Just for us to imagine how distracting it can get, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data were created daily in 2021, according to The Next Tech. Therefore, infographics can help by taking an overwhelming amount of facts and presenting them with engaging images and colors.
Best Kind Of Street Lamps
I wonder if OP has ever walked alone in a dark street under one of the "best" street lamps and hoped for her life that the next lamp would be working and then the next and then the next...
I personally prefer to walk in the dark without any street lights or in very dim lights...because then my eyes are adjusted to the dark and it's much easier to spot someone hiding in the dark if there is no difference in lighting between the person and me. The regular street lamps basically just light my path and me and make me easy to spot while making everything outside the path harder to spot, which doesn't make me feel safe *at all*.

How this is affecting bird migration in the world it's incredible. There are a few research showing how just a simple light can change the ecosystem
And other animals. Lacewings, moths, fireflies, scarab beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, ant lions, some flies and mosquitoes. All migration patterns that were governed by moonlight have been destroyed by house and street lighting. Even turtles, I've been told. Sports stadium lighting is also awful.

Those "best" lamp are freaking me out. They signal to everyone with bad intentions hiding in the shades "here I am, come get me".
Maybe but I still prefer these ones over the extreme light pollution we have in the Netherlands these days

For those of you that live in the USA, know that regulations exist that require ATMs to be at least a certain brightness. If it seems dim, it's probably under regulation. Bring it up to the branch staff to have it checked. Here's the Texas regulation for those of you in Texas. Texas Finance Code Sec. 59.307. STANDARDS FOR LIGHTING. The lighting must be at least: (1) 10 candlefoot power at the face of the unmanned teller machine and extending in an unobstructed direction outward five feet; (2) two candlefoot power within 50 feet from any unobstructed direction from the face of the machine, except as provided by Subdivision (3); (3) if the machine is located within 10 feet of the corner of a building and is generally accessible from the adjacent side, two candlefoot power along the first 40 unobstructed feet of the adjacent side of the building; and (4) two candlefoot power in the part of the defined parking area within 60 feet of the unmanned teller machine.
The street lamp in front of my house works about a third of the time.its been broken for years, I've reported it to no avail. My street, which is the main road into the city, has a blind curve, broken sidewalks and no sidewalk even at points. And there's deer coming through there after dark, as well as people walking, bus stops, etc. Its incredibly dangerous. We have regular, orange, downward facing street lamps.
This is from the POV of stargazers not the frigtened-woman-walking-alone-at-night
It has been found in the UK that when street lights are installed in a village without them the crime rate increases, The safest streets are dark ones.
I would settle for the "better" option or we would have to really trust the "best" ones to activate.
Progress isn't always good. Those that have to travel through questionable areas at night, they need to be lit up like a Christmas tree. So UNACCEPTABLE is my vote. Not everyone is wealthy. Safety of citizens is of utmost importance. Anything else is discriminating to the lower income segment of the population. Chances are it is their household help needs to live in these neighborhoods.
I went from very bright California to very dark Arizona and let me tell you I prefer very bright California! It sucks I can’t walk my dog once it gets dark unless I put on, you guessed it, lights to see it’s scary.
We’ve a lot of very important telescopes on the top of our tall mountain, so have always had very weak LPS street lamps. This past decade saw every lamp on our island switchover to LEDs, but they’re even dimmer than the old sodium. We’ve no air pollution and hardly any light pollution, which gives us amazing & unparalleled night skies.
I'm seeing more and more of the better type, from a few metres away it looks dark but when you're walking under them it is surprisingly well lit, without being bright.
These don't look like the street lamps I'm used to seeing in the US. Mostly I see the kind where the light is on an arm at the top of the pole and pointing down. I guess that makes the light disbursement similar to the "bad" one from this picture, but I'm not sure.
Best kind of street lamp is "off." The darkness hides you from the predators and doesn't screw with the moths and other critters.
This isn't an OP light preference, these are the current artificial lighting options. Stop down voting and propose alternatives.
Because there's no need to be lighting 'up' when the sidewalk is 'down'. Light pollution is a real and increasing problem affecting humans, wildlife and plants and restricting views of the night sky. A whole generation of children are growing up virtually unaware of the stars, constellations and planets.

Besides, most people process visual material much faster and tend to recall it better.
Neuroscientists from MIT found that the brain analyzes an image in 13 milliseconds, making these visuals a great learning aid. Our mind also tends to attach emotion to pictures, which explains why the average person remembers 65% of visual information ten days later, while they can recall only 10% of something they heard ten days ago.
Furthermore, they often prove effective in education because they use images to highlight, explain, or enhance text-based information, which also encourages data retention for many learners.

In addition, these visuals can be applied for a variety of uses. They are ideal for foregrounding important events in a historical period. They help us understand how certain occurrences interconnect and influence each other and how they have affected the world.
By using infographics, number-heavy statistics can be made more interesting, and adding diagrams and short text makes them easier to process and remember.

Teachers can also use them as assignments for homework. Giving students a long text and letting them transform it into something more appealing provides them with the opportunity to be more creative and shakes up the ordinary routine.
While doing it, they also conduct research and try different applications of information. As a result, learners demonstrate critical thinking by filtering data, identifying patterns, and presenting carefully curated projects.

Even though infographics might seem intimidating, there are plenty of tools online that can be helpful, such as Infogram, Canva, Easelly, and Edraw.
Their designers advise having an outline before starting the creative process. Try to decide which points are essential. Then, you can move on to ensuring that the readers are guided through the visuals and that the story you’re telling is coherent and has a gradual ending.

This is across all brands though and Pepsi has a ton of brands that aren't Pepsi. Not just beverages like Mtn. Dew and Gatorade, but they own DORITOS and Frito Lay. They own Rice-A-Roni and Quaker Oats. They are a massive food conglomerate.
As for the aesthetic part, a step in the right direction would be choosing the right fonts. Two are more than enough – one for the title and one for the body text. A more fun and decorative one can be used for the header, while the remaining information can be formatted with a simpler one so it’s easily readable. The typeface should also reflect the topic. Storytelling that’s more youthful and entertaining deserves a font that portrays this.

The same goes for colors – try to keep them visually appealing and stick with three or four that work well together. Finally, the goal with these visual aids is to portray data in a simple way, so don’t overcrowd it. Leave plenty of space between images and statistics, and use as little text as possible.
