Generally, when most of us think about a good time or a funny meme, it doesn’t have, say, an x and y axis or data labels. But it’s important to not limit yourself, the truth is that clever folks out there can make good content out of anything.

The “Funny Charts” online group is dedicated to amusing, creative, and informative graphs that attempt to mix data with humor. From helpful guides to assist in creating insults, to statistical breakdowns of Eminem’s songs, get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section.

Sitting at over fifteen thousand followers, the "Funny Charts" internet group is on an important mission to reclaim graphs from the clutches (and notoriety) of maths and economics. As is clearly on display here, a little creative spark can do wonders. Indeed, if you take a step back, it's easy to see how the standard structure of memes actually fits pretty well. 

After all, memes tend to use standard, recognized layouts to communicate the joke. This is just as true for graphs, which need to have certain attributes to even function. Despite their reputation as a dry, analytical tool, it's worth giving graphs and charts a second chance. Indeed, unlike "raw" text, it's a pretty visual way to showcase information.

It's not that hard to imagine more artistically inclined people being able to engage with data displayed this way. Research does suggest that visual indicators are actually pretty important in learning. You might say, well, a graph is just words and figures laid out on a matrix, not a paragraph, but it's important to note that the visual layout is a key component in what we take away from this sort of information.

This is all to say that it's unfair to pigeonhole graphs and charts into the "boring" category. The items here are a clear indicator that it's a lot more complex than that. So be sure to perhaps save the items here that you might find useful later. Even as a text-biased observer, I have to admit, that it's a lot faster to glance at a chart than pursue a block of text.

Personally, I strongly request a study that will explain to me why I cannot sleep in a soft bed but that I would perfectly manage to snore on my office chair.

You’re missing the step that mentions “think it’s going slower so pull the string again… pull the string 3 more times before you realize you’re pulling the light string and not the fan string.”

I'm actually trying to keep a list of the sentences my brain spews out during the purple phase. It doesn't help me understand my subconscious or anything, it just made me realize that I think about food a lot when I'm half-asleep

Currently I'm attending a seminar where I learn how to work with a chainsaw without dismembering myself. So since a few days my brain replaced its "Oh no, we're falling" with "Hey, let's pull our chainsaw's starter" to wake me up by yanking my left arm 😅 I wonder how long it will take until it returns to the falling-thing.

For anime fans half of it is thinking about the episode you saw that day and then figuring out how you'd fit into it

It is weird to start having moments of clarity between purple and brown. "Oh that was really interesting, and I am about to forget it entirely ... no idea what it was." Then z's.

For me it looks like: watching TV on the couch > ZZZZZZZZZ > wake up several times to the sound of my own snoring (which only happens if I sleep sitting up) and then fall asleep again > wake up and realize it's 4am and I have a sore neck > stumble to my bed cursing myself for not going to bed earlier. Next night > do the exact same thing again. I wish I was kidding. I really DO try to catch myself before I pass out on the couch, but it only works occasionally.

My husband knows that if he wants to talk to me while we are preparing to go to sleep he needs to do it before I get in bed. I touch my pillow and I fall asleep within 2-3 minutes.

The weird stuff is the beginning of sleep. I love it when a drowsy nap has those.

This misses the "f**k my alarm is ringing in xx hours and I still haven't fallen asleep" -stage.

That was my curse during my working years. “Don’t look at the clock. Don’t look at the clock.” Now the only time I set the alarm is to do something fun. Yay!

purple is actually related to certain brain waves associated with sleep … in other words when the weird s**t starts popping up you’re already in the early stages of sleep

Right after "brain goes into idle," there should be "HOLY SH*T YOU'RE FALLING OFF A MOUNTAIN just kidding."
