I don't think I've ever seen what appears to be a line graph loop back on itself.

[–] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 4 months ago

Visualise it as a 3d graph seen from the top.

Math people are cringing.

But in this graph it's correct, isn't it?

A bit of a strange choice of axis, but technically it's correct, I think.
We see how during COVID people died earlier although expenses went up (didn't check the dates, but I guess that's the thing?), and afterwards expenses went down, but people grow older again
Or do I completely misunderstand this?

Yeah, it's correct. What they did is, for every year they place a dot with respect to x and y axis, then connected the dots. An unusual graph, but works well for this situation, IMO.

I don't think they're cringing, this is perfectly correct.

By the definition:

A function f from a set X to a set Y is an assignment of one element of Y to each element of X.

This is not a function graph, though. It is a Connected Scatterplot.

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 months ago

I have a degree in math and I'm not cringing

Can we please always link to the original data?

Whoa, wtf is Polandball doing?
I didn't know such differences still existed (not counting USA ofc).

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Poland has the worst air pollution in the whole of Europe. For one, they still have a lot of coal plants but even more importantly, a lot of homes have never been modernized and still heat with coal too. On top of that, many cars are also old and dirty.

Not to worry, it’ll soon dip back down as the Almighty, who is also the Invisible Hand Of The Free Market, wills

Australia is definitely not counting deaths due to drop bears
