Why? The red and orange are close in color, otherwise it shows if it is green in color, more women commit suicide than men, then the ratio goes up by color
If it is green then they have the same average right? 1:1. But in this graph it would be difficult to show when more women committed suicide, which might nowhere be the case.
See now, when I say lemmy users are the dumbest bunch of people I’ve ever seen outside of YouTube comments, people say I’m being too harsh. But this comment is currently at +45.
it’s probably foolish to get into an argument with someone who thinks themselves better than me, but i’m bored so
in what world, do you read the word “ratio” then see “7” and instantly go “ah yes, 7/1 can also be seen as 7:1”, instead of being confused for a bit because you expected a ratio
you literally have to additionally imagine the rest of the ratio anyway. I know dividing 7 by 1 gives you 7, but just a 7 is not a ratio
i give up, you either think yourself better than everyone to the point of refusing to acknowledge how the info graphic presents its information in an unintuitive way, or are OPs alt dying on this hill trying to defend your info graphic

Does this prevent you in any way from comprehending the image? It takes more effort to parse out what you just said than it takes to understand the drawing. I still don’t understand why it’s relevant but that’s beyond the point.
The image title could have said “MALE SUICIDES VS FEMALE SUICIDES (SKABADOO BANANAS WITH PAUL LEMON)” and you should still be able to immediately understand that farther right = more male suicides
Hell you should be able to understand the gist of the image without even having any numbers on the bottom, just “less” on the left and “more” on the right.
This is confusing as shit

Or you’d get 0.5 with a color match, for example.
Women literally never commit suicide at the same rate or less, that’s kind of the point.

it is not a matter of intelligence to want to understand an info graphic without need to put work in it
If you can’t understand it at first glance, that’s a skill issue.

It…specifically explains the part that you were confused about. Right there, below the title.

seriously, are you deliberately acting like this or do you really not see how the way information is presented is not clear?
