A worthy discussion of bad graphs:

Psychopathic charts, lines that should be bars, and picking cherries
I was hoping to withdraw from the world during the Summer and devote time to activities that require deep concentration—reading, writing, designing, and also this,—but it seems that the run-up to the November election will bring a deluge of bad charts. I should have known better; How Charts Lie may need a sequel soon.

The following are just from today:

Only a psychopath would think of designing a chart like this:

Indeed, only a psychopath would use that font.

That’s absolute nonsense

Rob Lister · Post by **Rob Lister** » Wed Jun 24, 2020 11:46 am

Not nonsense, just poorly colored and labeled.

It was a nonsense chart

Also, that one is also completely wrong. Can you figure out why?

robinson · Post by **robinson** » Wed Jun 24, 2020 3:46 pm

Here’s a big clue

The graphic is missing a key word in the label

robinson · Post by **robinson** » Wed Jun 24, 2020 3:49 pm

Aw fuck it

This map shows the number of tree species present in any location.

Wrong

This map shows the number of endemic tree species present in any location.

Better

This map shows the number of endemic tree species present in any location. Local areas of greater diversity are not shown due to the scale of the map.

Scientific in its description of the graphic

I don't understand how rainfall correlates but being an emperor between 200 and 300 was hazardous.

Perhaps periods of drought correlate with assassinations?

But I imagine it's a spurious correlation

Anaxagoras · Post by **Anaxagoras** » Thu Jun 25, 2020 1:41 pm

I'm just going with the null hypothesis here.
