May I add this classic?
Fucking lol. I can't believe that shit's real and from Reuters of all places.
I couldn't find the graph on an original Reuters article (they must have gotten embarrassed and pulled it down lmao), but Business Insider still has it on their version of the article
(edit: and this is just time vs murders, not time vs gun deaths, a better statistic for this)
I think the idea behind the graph was to make it look like blood flowing, but the execution was... not the best
Would still make more sense if it was reversed lol
What the actual fuck
Look at the scale one the left.
(It’s upside down)
I know :)
my reply was in disbelief.
I didn’t.
I thought at first the point was that murders had gone down because they were suddenly technically legal. The inverted scale thing is worse
that can't be real.... why would gun deaths go down after such a law is passed? I don't understand the world...
Edit: Oh I read the other comments. Yeah that scale is stupid.
there's actually no fucking way
I almost missed the scale on the left. Almost.
