— 2025-08-21 – Thursday – interesting that its so prevalent in english-speaking. would be cool to see it animated ; i believe the ~1938 war of the worlds and the first alien movies in ?1950s likely caused big spikes.<\/p>\n\n\n

— 2025-06-06 – Friday – something about this chart bugs me… look at the usa, where they go from 347M to 421M, but what is the signif of the hump in the middle (2050). seems to me it would be simpler to just go straight across with each entry. but then it wouldn’t be so curvy and perhaps that’s why i like it so much. or just show the delta% from the start? and why %change only for India, China? the %change is a much more information number. me thinks.<\/p>\n\n\n
