    I doubt this data is actually available, right?

      Oh crap. You are right. Now I feel angry if this is fake data.

        I also STRONGLY doubt over 200.000 Jenga sets are sold yearly in the US.

    I’m tired, so I hope that’s why I don’t get it.

    Anyone willing to explain this one? I’m pretty sure I’ll face palm myself, but it just isn’t clicking on my own lol

      Jenga was taboo after 9/11. Sociology!

        If you could have heard the slap to my face, you would have thought a tower fell

      …𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 It’s just another rainy Sunday afternoon
      I’m wasting my time, I got nothing to do
      I’m hanging around, I’m waiting for you
      But nothing ever happens, and I wonder 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮

    9/11 was the 9/11 of the Jenga business

    source
    • JackbyDev@programming.dev ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      9/11 was the 9/11 of 9/11s

      source
      • somethingp@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It was a poor reference to a quote from the TV show Community. The half Palestinian character Abed says that his father’s falafel restaurant had been struggling for a while because “9/11 was pretty much the 9/11 of the falafel business”

    I still haven’t been able to play Plague Inc after COVID.

      Plague Inc was one of the things that kept me sane during lockdown.

        I always remember the old web game. It was a bitch to get to Madagascar. Inspired the meme:

    Now I wonder how this graph would look like Stephen Kings “The Stand” during the pandemic.

    Did people want to read a book about a flu-like pandemic wiping out humanity or rather not not?

    • m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It seems like people did. ‘The Plague’ and Contagion did very well.

      source
      • WolfLink@sh.itjust.works ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        The game “Plague Inc” spiked in popularity, so the devs rushed out a game about saving humanity instead of destroying it lol

    They tried to move the stock with a two for one deal, but somehow it only made things worse!
