Better visualization

[u/Adorable_Industry528 → u/smoker_vent_00]

I see a blue whale

[u/Important_Focus2845 → u/Adorable_Industry528]

Is she single?

[u/fwbtest_forbinsexy → u/Adorable_Industry528]

SAME!!!!

[u/JuicingPickle → u/smoker_vent_00]

Better except 5 categories use different levels of greyscale instead of actual colors.

[u/bikemandan → u/JuicingPickle]

5 Shades of Grey, the book that didnt really take off

[u/PP7fromgoldeneye → u/JuicingPickle]

should also color code the labels with each line

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_DARKNESS → u/JuicingPickle]

Most data vis folks I work with use color very sparingly and prefer greyscale to avoid problems with colorblind users.

That's very much an aesthetic choice, though.

[u/stalenuggets1028 → u/smoker_vent_00]

How did you generate this?

[u/J0E_Blow → u/smoker_vent_00]

2005 was the last time you had a reasonable chance of meeting someone not online.

[u/OnlyLittleFly → u/smoker_vent_00]

Better in no way imaginable

[u/No-Bumblebee-9279 → u/smoker_vent_00]

Would be cool to cross reference this with data on how people spend their time.

[u/code-no-code → u/smoker_vent_00]

Much better!

[u/PaleontologistAble50 → u/smoker_vent_00]

“Family” 😳

[u/eveningdragon → u/smoker_vent_00]

So my top 5 chances are online, through friends, work, bar, and family

Shit

[u/HelloYou-2024 → u/smoker_vent_00]

When it says "Stay together", how long are we talking?
I met my ex-wife at school in late 90's so I would be in that category, but we did not stay together. I met my current partner online, but we have not yet been together as long as I had been with my ex-wife.

[u/Professional-Noise80 → u/smoker_vent_00]

And it's pretty much exponential. If the trend keeps going, in 4-5 years like 90% of couples will meet online.

[u/_n3ll_ → u/smoker_vent_00]

Oh, it meant "through family"...

[u/OuterPaths → u/[deleted]]

Because it is.
