This really looks like the horizontal distribution is meant to mean something even though it’s a 1D plot

Do we need a dataismanipulated community? I think we need a dataismanipulated community. 🤔

Edit: we could have challenges like, presenting a mundane dataset and saying, “display this data in a way that gives a clear advantage to this particular group even though they have no particular advantage in any obvious metric”. The most obscure way to elevate that group with provided and/or inferred data wins.

Now do one for medals per human rights violation

Only half serious, but saying “the highest number is best” next to a plot showing North Korea as second highest has to make you ask yourself if either the metric is flawed or your usage of the term best isn’t in alignment with common parlance. A high density of medals per gdp per capita could be representative of an overinvestment into national prestige projects vs. other areas that may be more aligned to economic and social development. That probably goes for all three of the top three shown on this graph, to lesser or greater extents

Why is this relevant?

How did you make the graph? I am asking because I am currently searching for ways to get into data stuff. Do you have good ressources?

Sorry, I do not see any comments or replies to me. I get a notification and can read what you say there, but here in the link there is nothing. :(

I’m surprised Australia isn’t an outlier too
