Escher pie chart #graphcrimes
Bro, I can see that’s clearly 5” of snow not 10” #graphcrimes

TFW you think it looks cool to use smoothing on a chart, but you end up with a negative percent chance of precipitation.

@PhilipLeftwich Has this been posted yet? Not only is it left unclear this is a graph of people's *opinion* about crime and not actual crime rates, not only does the vertical scale not start at zero, just check out the x-axis #graphcrimes

@PhilipLeftwich Saw your post right after watching a documentary on conspiracy theories and the 1994 MS Estonia disaster (doc mostly in Swedish, graphs around the 48m mark, https://www.svtplay.se/video/85oE9d3/vetenskapens-varld-sanningen-om-estonia)

See snaps and alt texts with the flagrantly biased interpretation of vertical exaggeration a conspirationist team had made. This to further the narrative that a hole they found in a recent dive, could not have been caused by the ship hitting bottom, therefore it must have an explosion.

Estonia och myterna

Vad var det egentligen som hÀnde nÀr Estonia sjönk? En uppmÀrksammad dokumentÀrserie tvingade fram nya undersökningar av Estonias skrov. Vissa kritiska journalister hÀvdar envist att sanningen Ànnu inte kommit fram. Vi fÄr följa med bakom kulisserna i forskarnas och myndigheternas undersökningar, och Àven trÀffa de privatpersoner och journalister som fortfarande för fram alternativa teorier. Och vi tar reda pÄ vad forskningen egentligen sÀger om varför konspirationsteorier uppstÄr. Mitt i allt stÄr ocksÄ arkeologen Jonathan Lindström som förlorade sina förÀldrar i Estoniakatastrofen - och som ser mytbildningen kring förlisningen som ett plÄgsamt sÄr.

@PhilipLeftwich May I suggest we use the #GraphCrimes hashtag to follow these beautiful mistakes?
Every year we run a "graph crimes" lecture for my data analysis class - so #rstats people - what are the most egregious crimes you have seen committed this year? #graphcrimes
Thanks to @knmi we have clear #weather maps in the Netherlands. But for this one I cry #graphcrimes ! For color blind: the whole scale is #green
 and this while there are serious differences between wind speeds of 2 and 9 m/s
I think it is a simple mixup, but the result is a nasty example of #graphcrimes #chartcrimes
