how is this beautiful?
The data is beautiful. What it represents: not so much
it's just a map with some colours, i don't see how that's particularly beautiful.
Is the bar for entry here just.. not having images be black and white?..
The colors mean something though, it's not like I gave a child a crayon box and told them to color within the lines
but it's not particularly beautiful, it's just a bog-standard statistical map
you can make this in 5 minutes in microsoft paint
The beauty is in the data itself, not just the image. It took more than 5 minutes to collect all that data
so if someone posts a table of the data that's also a post that belongs here?
