So to be clear: there is no correlation between weed use and hotdog use, other than that they’re both in decline. This means that they created this graph showing two unrelated datasets for no reason other than that they could. Or, maybe, because they wanted to use the cursed image of a spliff in a hotdog bun.

THC makes you hungry, and hungry people eat hot dogs. Checkmate, atheist!
Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
With THC everything seems more edible than it really is, even Hot Dogs.

I imagine they’re trying to push an agenda of some sort

What. the. fuck.
I think this graph just gave me a migraine.
Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
This graph is such an awful data visualization that it’s almost art
Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t see the problem.
*exhales* Anybody else wanna hit this shit? It’s so good.

What the fuck is this data trying to say?

More weed use among teens → more hot dogs sold in the U.S.

But the percent changes are negative. Look at the axis labels.

I understand everything about this except why it exists in the first place.

I agree with all the comments here, but also, now I’m craving hotdogs.

I’m considering applying this to my plant science research. In response to drought stress we observed that the tree became -3 smaller marijuana. Accelerometer data reflects the impact of this change in biomass, with hotdog levels variably +2 to +5. We demonstrate that as the tree becomes smaller marijuana it also becomes bigger hotdog.

I graduated in 99. Didn’t think I’d make that big of a difference.

God damn it. I already woke up wanting a hotdog. This is just making me hungrier.

I recognized the j right away but the hotdog bun took longer, and imagining eating a j on a hotdog bun is really disconcerting.

Also a negative percent change from previous year is a wild thing to try and visualize as being bigger than the previous year but ok.
gbzm@piefed.social 1 year ago
It’s ok: you only get this value every two years. That way, even though it’s a decrease from the previous year you have actually no idea whether the figure is higher than two years before

Oh my God I didn’t even notice that… Wtf

Gotta make sure everyone is still angry about the kids smoking the devil’s lettuce. Dropping numbers are highly inconvenient when you’re trying to rile people up.
