One flight, two map projections
In conversation about 3 days ago from vis.social permalink
Attachments
1. This image shows two map projections of Earth with a purple line drawn across them. The top projection is a polar view centered on the Arctic, showing the Northern Hemisphere from above. The bottom projection is a standard rectangular world map (likely a Mercator or similar projection). On both maps, a purple curved line traces the same path across the Northern Hemisphere, running roughly along the 50th parallel north. The line begins in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, curves up through Canada, crosses Greenland, continues through northern Europe and Russia, and ends in eastern Asia. The two different projections offer complementary views of the same geographic route - the polar view emphasizes the Arctic-centered perspective and shows how the route relates to the pole, while the rectangular projection shows how the route appears on a more familiar world map format.

Think there might be some truth in this matrix...

In conversation about 15 days ago from vis.social permalink
Attachments
1. A grid showing how different IT roles (Developers, Designers, Project Managers, QA, and Sysadmins) perceive each other. The matrix format uses humorous images for each intersection - like developers seeing designers as children with crayons, QA seeing everyone as problematic, and sysadmins being viewed as either chaotic or mysterious by others. The images range from professional photos to memes, creating a satirical take on tech workplace stereotypes and interdepartmental relationships

The Greek God Family Tree
by Korwin Briggs
https://veritablehokum.com/
In conversation about 18 days ago from vis.social permalink
Attachments
1. An infographic depicting an intricate family tree of Greek gods and goddesses. The chart includes primordial deities, titans, and Olympians, with lines denoting relationships such as parentage, marriage, and notable births. Key details: At the top, primordial deities Gaia (Earth) and Ouranos (Sky) give rise to the titans and other entities. Titans like Kronos and Rhea lead to the Olympians, including Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Iconic births, such as Athena springing from Zeus's forehead and Aphrodite arising from sea foam, are highlighted. The chart humorously admits that it's "not even close to complete" but provides a visually appealing overview of Greek mythology's complex lineage.

What are you angling at exactly?
creator: unknown (but genius)
In conversation about 18 days ago from vis.social permalink

1. A humorous diagram showing arm positions and their meanings in a meme format. A figure's arm positions are shown against a circular scale from bottom to top: 'REST' (arm down, in green), 'PET DOG', 'PET CHILDREN', 'CALL TAXI', and 'CALL WAITER' reaching progressively higher. The top position, similar to raising one's arm at a sharp angle, is labeled 'NAZI' in red, serving as a dark-humored warning about how certain gestures might be misinterpreted. The illustration uses a white silhouette figure against a gradient background.

It's all <insert complex language> to me (regional variations)

In conversation about a month ago from vis.social permalink
Attachments
1. A colorful map of Europe illustrating the phrase equivalents for "It's all Greek to me" in various languages. The map categorizes countries based on their expressions for incomprehensible language, highlighting cultural differences: "Greek": Common in English-speaking and nearby countries like the UK, Ireland, and France. "Chinese": Used in most Central and Eastern European countries like Germany, Poland, and Hungary. "Hebrew": Found in Scandinavian countries such as Norway and Sweden. Unique phrases: Some regions have distinct metaphors, such as: "Volapük" (a constructed language) in the Netherlands. "Arabic" in Italy. "Patagonian" in Bosnia. "Railway station" in Denmark. The map playfully explores linguistic diversity and cultural idioms for describing confusing language.

1. Satellite view of Earth showing primarily the Pacific Ocean side, with minimal visible landmasses. The image shows Earth as a blue sphere against the black of space, with a bright rim of atmospheric glow along the edge. This perspective showcases the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, which dominates most of the visible hemisphere, with only small portions of land visible near the edges, likely parts of Antarctica and South America. The ocean appears as various shades of deep blue, with some cloud patterns visible across its surface.
