That’s a weird scale.

Such techniques are often used to sell a conclusion with data that doesn’t agree. Scaling, cropping, etc. Visuals are very powerful, and people will look at a graph and assume it’s correct.

Agreed, it’s total bullshit. This sort of stuff should be outlawed.

I was trying to figure out what was bothering me about it. Basically 1’0” - 5’0” is 1 tick mark part foot and then it’s 1 tick mark per inch. So basically you have a 12:1 ratio for the first 60 inches so it’s not a linear, logarithmic, exponential or any normal type of scale.

Or simply, according to the scale from top of the head to calves is only one foot. Their head is only an inch tall.

one glance and you’d assume that the average Indonesian man only comes up to the calf of the average man from The Netherlands

Honestly, this graph was able to make me understand why such a small country like the Netherlands was able to colonise the Netherlands

This scale is totally wack. The feet of the human bodies in the graph don’t start at 0 but somewhere between 4 and 5. Such a bad graph. That being said, we Dutch people are very tall and powerful and you should be terrified >:3

I am 7 inches taller than the average Dutch person. Which, by this graph, means I am 50 times taller than you.

Pee-wee.

Ah, yes, Netherlanders are indeed 4x taller than Indonesians, but at least the Indonesians get better saving throws from their size.

Kenyans aren’t on there, but I have to assume they’re pretty big given the 60’ move speed.
