Welcome to the wonderful world of information graphics, aka infographics!
The r/Infographics subreddit is an old online community that has an enduring love for infographics. Today, we’re featuring some of the best ones the community has shared. Scroll down to check ‘em out! They won’t just amuse you, you’ll end up learning lots, too.

A Logarithmic Map Of The Entire Observable Universe
For those who try go guess the correct way read this graph: the higher to the top the further and older observable object is. That's why on the bottom you have current state Earth with satellites all around and on top there is Big Bang. From the sheer size of the Universe, time is inseparable from space and has to be put into "distance" equation. There's a probability some of the things on top that don't exist anymore, because the image we see of them is literally billions of years old.

Revenue Breakdown Of The Four Most Valuable Companies In The World:
It would be nice if graphs included total worth of companies since % here isn't equal to % there. For example, not going into precise math, Amazon is around $440B and MS is $160B. So whole company is around 35% of Amazon.

By the "one drop rule" every human being on Earth is "black". Homosapiens evolved in Africa and the entire species was "black". There was never a perfect white race divorced or above the rest of the human species. That's racist BS that makes me very angry.

Nine Ways To Imagine Jeff Bezos' Wealth
This is a terrible chart. It's a prime example of how to lie with statistics. The peanut-vs-truck is correct, but the next is comparing length (1D) with 3D objects, which our brains correctly scale so you end up with a lie. So yes the whale is about 1.5M times longer than a white blood cell, but the graph makes us feel the size of a whale, which weights about 1.5M x 1.5M x 1.5M times as much as a white blood cell. So we mis-estimate by 2.25 trillion times. Same with the Toblerone, yes it's the height, but you're looking at two mountains so you automatically think volume/weight. It's a classic trick that shouldn't be around anymore.

Those numbers aren't lying, the USA out produces every other country in the world and has been doing so since a guy named Drake drilled the first well over a century ago. During the most recent "fuel crisis" the USA was still EXPORTING oil. So if you are complaining about $5/g gas, I don't want to hear it.
