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.

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.

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.

Like Rose told Jack in Titanic, "Just start from the outside and work your way in".
It was Kathy Bates' Molly Brown, not Rose. Brown had been a commoner who had come into money and had to learn, much like Jack was, how to behave in upper society.

I don't see right-side-up forks, upside-down forks or parallelogram forks. This makes me sad, as it may lead to the believe that eatery is the only field of forkery. Which ain't.
I also don't see the fork in the road.

I prefer to call the 'forks' with 3 tines "threeks" and those with 2 tines, 'two-ks.'
Fiddle with your napkin until someone in the know picks up a fork, them do the same. Besides, you're supposed to wait for your hostess to start eating, then it's very easy to know which fork.
I'm liking the spaghetti fork - that could save an awful lot of shirts!
All I need is a fork. a knife. a spoon. and if you all ever watched Alien Ressurection... according to Ripley, a (you know what)
Have only used seven. I have never seen a pasta fork on any dinner table but in thrift, second hand and antique shops. And people today don't even know what they are for.
I disagree, in the sense that all forks are cheese forks (and all other utensils are cheese utensils)
Why not have one fork, very nicely made, and one fork for fruit and seafood, and leave it at that. This way, there is more room for the food on the table. And also, one knife, sharp enough to cut meat. Fish can be cut with a fork. Fancy table wear, is for the rich and royalty, of which I am neither, but sitting at a table with that much silverware, is ridiculous! I have done that like once in my life, and never again. People also used to actually eat with just a knife! Like potatoes and 🥕 veggies, Stan it, eat it and move on! Actually, I like using my hands for things like fried chicken…. Also, take a chicken leg, smear mashed potatoes all over it drizzle some gravy on it and you then have… the perfect bite of food.
My Chinese SIL had a meltdown when she found out there's more than one kind of fork.
I think I‘m using fish forks as dessert forks…. And why the hell aren‘t Spaghetti forks common? I never heared of then! Where are they used? I want some! 😂
This is just elitist forking silliness. No one needs this many forks and a "table" fork stabs and collects all the foods just fine. When I stick a plain old fork in my mouth, my saliva licks it clean for the next course.
Some makes sense like the snail fork. A larger fork will not fit in the shell.

If you find antique silverware marked as Georgian or earlier, check if it has fish forks and knives. If it has, it is Victorian at the earliest.
I like a bit smaller utensils, so I guess I've been using fish forks or dessert forks all these years.
When I was a child I was taught that for dessert forks, cake forks had four equally sized tines and pie forks had three tines, the left most one wider than the other two. (This was knowledge that I never once used in 82 years, so far, of my life.)

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 implication seems to be that the helmet was invented in 600 CE. Did the Romans and Greeks wear tam-o'-shanters into battle, then?
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.

Why, why, why doesn't BP do more of these type of posting and a whole lot less of the Gossip column nonsense.
Presumably because the gossip ones are a better return on investment

The ones I could read were really interesting! The other ones were too blurry for me to see well on the app, even after I pulled up the images to zoom in.
