odium, in Annual hours worked per engaged person in Europe and in Asia. (Sorry for different color scales.)

Japan and South Korea seem low, but keep in mind that they have a huge issue of people being expected to work overtime without documenting it.

scytale,

First thing I noticed as well. Unreported overtime I guess.

I don’t think this accounts for unpaid hours and the not at all voluntary socials in some countries such as Japan.

StreetKid,

In South Korea you are not allowed to work more than 52 hours a week. Generally, you work approximately 40 hours a week.

768,

Are there strikes in KR regularly?

clutch,

40 is what you are allowed to report, and doesn’t count compulsory participation in dinners and karaoke/noraebangs

WowSuchInternetz,

There is a large part time worker population in Japan. If you remove part timers the average is around 2000 hours for 2019

Blaze, in Second most taught foreign language in European secondary schools

Yes it’s a Reddit link, but I know consider Reddit as a glorified Imgur. Also it avoids consuming storage on the Lemmy servers.

If someone wants to upload it to catbox.moe or Imgur, feel free to comment with the link, I’ll update it

infeeeee, in Railway map of China, with colored lines showing high-speed rail. At the beginning of 2007, China had zero kilometers of high-speed rail

You can see railways worldwide on OpenRailwayMap

If you switch to “Max speeds” map style, you can see the allowed maximum speed on each track.

Data is from OpenStreetMap, so if you think something is missing you can contribute: learnosm.org

alex, in Languages spoken by the leaders of Europe and North America

Poor Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden not even speaking their countries’ languages :(

(One of the first things I learned when I joined the Localization industry was to never use a flag to represent a language!)

Trying to imagine Biden saying "Pip pip, cheerio!"

Hey should we put a legend on our map?

Na, just scatter the identifiers all over the map and make sure you use at least two shades of mustard

They have 5 colours here with 2 purples and 2 oranges. Why oh why

MajorMajormajormajor,

They used all the colours of the rainbow, don’t you remember the mnemonic?

Red

Orange

Other orange

Purple

Light purple?

Wermhatswormhat, in The Most Common Surname in Each Country (5000 × 4611)

Very well done infographic!

ma11ie, in Cool view of all tropical storms over the last 100 years

Omitting Hurricane Catarina - the only hurricane on record in the South Atlantic en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Catarina

CanadaPlus, (edited )

I was wondering why South America and Atlantic southern Africa lucked out so much.

Typically, tropical cyclones do not form in the South Atlantic Ocean, due to strong upper-level shear, cool water temperatures, and the lack of a convergence zone of convection.

Now I’m going to go down a rabbit hole about why it’s cold, I guess.

SatanicNotMessianic, in Cool view of all tropical storms over the last 100 years

For some reason, this projection is just really messing with me. I can recognize, with a bit of effort, the continents, but their relative sizes and positions is just making it tough to really follow what I’m guessing is an argument on storm patterns.

Can I suggest pushing out a visualization that uses an interactive 3d globe model instead of a single jpg? I feel like if I could scroll up and down between a normal sized Antarctica and a normal sized North America, my brain would be less confused as far as interpreting patterns and interactions goes.

If it helps you, the hurricane belts do have the equator nicely between them.

CanadaPlus,

Oh damn, that’s the equator. It looks so non-centric here I didn’t even recognise it.

PaupersSerenade, in Visualization of Mercator distortion
@PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works avatar

You can’t do that!

Why?

Because it’s freaking me out!

Camilo,

This is great, thank you for sharing 😂

ciko22i3, in Annual hours worked per engaged person in Europe and in Asia. (Sorry for different color scales.)
@ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz avatar

Wtf is this? Why are the colors not the same number for both maps?

DavidGarcia,

yeah lol, they could have just picked new colors for the new bottom bins and it would be objectively better without tradeoffs

WhiteRaven22, (edited )
@WhiteRaven22@midwest.social avatar

Probably to better highlight the local differences for both areas. The entire scale is significantly higher for the bottom map.

ciko22i3,
@ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz avatar

But the colours should reflect that. This map makes it seem like people in China and India work same hours like some European countries.

Stamau123, in Visualizing the upcoming BRICS expansion.

A bit misleading since Argentina at least isn’t a member yet, just invited, and top presidential runners are rejecting membership.

Venicon, in Map of the Caribbean island Montserrat. Much of the island, including its capital, was devastated by volcanic eruptions in the 90s. The majority of the island is now an uninhabitable exclusion zone.

Super fascinating thanks for sharing!

I remember it happening, was all over the news! My child brain imagined rivers of lava but really it’s the pyroclastic flows that terrify me now, along with lahars

cavedueller, in Geographic range of the world's eight bear species.

The projection makes it look like polar bears rule the world.

TheGreenGolem,

Because they are.

I thought this was a 3D image of a shattered pelvis.

North of the Netherlands should probably be orange, gas extraction has made it unstable in Groningen

It’s been the same story for years in Oklahoma. For a few years there, we were getting more earthquakes than California.
