Especially in todayโs climate, people are debating a lot of things. But oneโs proved quite funny. In that case, some heavy discussions occurred online that have to do with the average womanโs height. Now more than ever, we all need a good laugh.
Sandy Allen
In case you donโt already know, this is the name of the tallest woman in the world. Standing at 7โ 7โ, Sandy towers over the average women. But according to a bizarre pictograph, it appears height varies dramatically depending on origin.
Posted pictograph
Not long ago, a woman by the name of Sabah Ibrahim from India saw a pictograph showing the average height of women from around the world. She was shocked. The proportions were so unbelievably off, it made females from her country look like miniature toys in comparison.
She had to share
After seeing the ridiculous pictograph, Sabah had to share the pictograph on social media. It didnโt take long for others to notice. That simple gesture quickly turned into a hilarious roast.
The caption
As if the pictograph wasnโt funny enough, Sabah added a hilarious caption. That really got the ball rolling. People from around the globe began to respond with funny and sarcastic comments. This made the debate even funnier.
Her thoughts
So, hereโs the deal. When Sabah saw the pictograph and its silliness, it reminded her of how too often, data gets presented so that it significantly distorts the imageโs real meaning. As she stated, โI shared it on Twitter with what I thought was a throwaway sarcastic comment.โ
She had more to say
Sabah wasnโt done. She went on to say the reason the graph is so misleading is โbecause the y axis starts at 0 and jumps to 5 footโฆthe space between the zero and 5โ is massively compressed.โ Since so much data was used, thatโs what resulted in the silly disproportion.
Poking fun
Before long, a lot of online users started to make fun of the pictograph along with Sabah. After she posted โStop yelling, you will alert the Latvians,โ one person had a great comeback. But there were many more to follow.
It didnโt stop there
Another individual shared their own opinion by tweeting, โExcuse me while I put myself on this graph.โ Then, the person uploaded a modified version of the original pictograph. People were having a blast with this, which to Sabah came as a big surprise. She wasnโt expecting her tweet to go viral.
A photographerโs viewpoint
One photographer added a comment. They explained this type of misleading visualization โis a major reason why so many people have an inaccurate or incomplete understanding of scientific research and why so many people justifiably donโt trust results presented like this.โ This individual has a great point.
Additional comments
Yet another poster said, โDonโt step on the Indian lady, pleaseโ while someone else stated, โI feel that the Swedes were too tall to fit on the chart.โ To that comment, one person wrote the most hilarious tweet ever.
No one has any idea who created the original pictograph and while perhaps they tried their best, letโs just say it was a miserable failure. The good newsโฆtons of people had a great time making fun of it. To read all of the responses to Sabahโs post, go to her Twitter account.
