    it is not a matter of intelligence to want to understand an info graphic without need to put work in it

        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

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

            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.

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

                  I mean you can keep saying that but it doesn’t change the fact that you should have paid more attention in school
