40 Interesting Infographics That Might Change Your Perspective On Things, As Shared On This Online Group

This was such a great visual. It is far more impactful than looking at big numbers IMHO.

TEN would have an annual income of $105K+??? I thought the MEDIAN income would have to be well above this... but turns out it's amazingly low, around $40,000, which is more than the annual cost of an apartment.

Frankly I’m surprised it’s only ten with income over $105,000. Good infographic. I loved living in nyc - no other city seems to have the same kind of racial diversity.

What do people of no color look like?

So what

I knock on it, if its sounds hollow, its ready and yummy.

Who else decided to download this pic and use it as the ultimate guide :D

As someone who has cut hundreds of watermelons working in a produce department, this is wrong. The shape ones are very wrong. The shape is usually nothing more than the variety/genetics a farmer grows. Those mini round watermelons are the worst you can buy, as 4/5 of them are bad, like inedible bad. Dark and dull often means overripe, not ripe, unless you prefer gritty or mushy watermelons. Shiny absolutey does not mean not ripe. The orange field spot isn't off the mark, but white spots shouldn't be marked as no taste. Really, none of this is guaranteed. It's often just a gamble. Some one else in the comments mentioned the hollow knock trick. That works right up to the point you get one that is actually hollow, although it isn't actually hollow; it's filled with liquified rotten watermelon that will be your worst nightmare when you cut it open too quickly and have to clean that up. And the smell you'll have for days is even worse.

Ohh noice

I've always thought that the most useful test was tapping it or thumping it. You want one that sounds resonant and sharp, not dull/flat. Mushy sound = mushy melon. Sounds solid rather than hollow = not ripe.

My roommate is diabetic. When he signed to ACA (Obama care) and his price for insulin went from over a hundred to $35 he cried.

In the UK if you have diabetes you don't even pay the £7 (which is now like £9.40) as it's one of the conditions that grants you free unlimited prescription. Plus if you need more then 2 meds a month for 3+ months you can buy a £10 a month prepayment card that allows you as many scripts as you like. If you are under 18, over 65, pregnant or on certain income based benefits you never pay for any scripts and if you are in a low income you can apply for a free script card too. In Scotland I think scripts are free for everyone too.

If you aren’t rich in the US and have a chronic illness or medical condition, I feel like you bankrupt yourself paying for treatments. So sad that so many people can’t afford life saving medications and medical treatments.

My SIL gets her insulin on the NHS.

All for something that was given away by the creators for free, because after seeing so many people(especially children) die their conscience/morals would not allow for them to charge for their creation.

Question is: What would the world look like without a sizable US military? Because China and Russia and NK sure as heck aren’t giving up their military capabilities.

Republicans: The national debt is at $34T. Me: well could make cuts to the military... Republicans: GO TO HEI_I_!

While we do spend a lot on our military defense budget, which is needed, in this present day world. There is room for improvements, such as stop approving Defense Contractors cost overruns, etc. If you quote a price of how much it will cost to research, design, create, build, and deploy, that is the price. If it costs more than your original quote, then that is on you and comes out of your end, not the government/tax payers. Oh and stop going with the "lowest bid" that is how we wind up with crappy equipment. Go with the closest build for the bid. And get the Military Industrial Complex lobbyists out of the Pentagon and Congress. Also make it so High Ranking/Specially Designated military personnel cannot retire and immediately work for DMIC corporations. I cannot believe the Army is going with a frakkin VTOL to replace Blackhawks, do not get me started with the Scout & Attack Helicopters. Oh yeah, lets just stop using the NATO 5.56mm and use 6.8mm, that no other NATO allies uses!
