INSANE: Cool interesting charts - The Real Truth
Let's be honest... Not everyone gets excited at the idea of reading pages of convoluted data or spreadsheets containing thousands of numbers. They can be complicated, time-consuming, and quite frankly, boring. Cool and fascinating charts - now that's a different story. They're like the drive-throughs of information. No need to dress up and sit through long courses, just grab your takeaway and go.
Well-designed charts have the ability to turn mountains of research into easily consumable, and sometimes entertaining, information. They explain in seconds what could take dozens of pages to describe. And nowadays, they cover everything under the sun. Some reveal intriguing trends we didn't realize were happening, others answer questions we didn't know we had.
Every now and again, Bored Panda puts together a compilation of the most interesting charts out there. And today we're doing just that... From the world's happiest cities, to how many hours of work are needed in different countries to escape poverty, keep scrolling if you want understand the bigger picture at a glance.

As a German full time idiot, living in »Leiden« seems like a funny contradiction, as it's translated as »Suffer(ing)«...🤹🏽

What film counts as a "documentary" these days? Other than David Attenborough and political propaganda and the occasional biography of an entertainer.

I wasn't expecting any east of the Caspian sea. India makes sense, sort of, because the mouth of the Indus River in Pakistan was known to ancient Rome, but even there the East coast of India was not.

World Cumulative Carbon Emissions Comparison
JK 3 hours ago
Ok, now shrink those 250 years to the last 50, and the then the last 10, and see how those percentages change. 250 years ago was the industrial revolution, and some countries were far more advanced/had far more resources/requirements for fossil fuel usage. Show us a comparison of how things have changed instead

Why Young Adults Are Saying No To Parenthood
Jeremy Klaxon 56 minutes ago
Because I like silence, because I like having free time, because they're expensive as hell, because of the horrible screams, because I can go on holidays when all the parents are stuck with school, because there are already enough humans on Earth, because I don't feel the need to put my ego into flesh, and the list goes on and on

Countries In Europe With A Metro
Fat Harry (Oi / You) 1 hour ago
Saying "the country has a metro" is a bit misleading. There's the London Underground, the Glasgow Metro, the Tyne and Wear Metro, the West Midlands metro (not underground) and the Manchester tramways (not underground). The rest of the country is woefully underserved by public transport in general, particularly rural areas where we're lucky to get a single bus per day.
