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.
Completely bizarre scaling choice.
You mean completely amazing scale choice
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
Their feet starts at the 4 foot 8 inches mark.
Dutch East India Company arrives on the island of Java
Honestly, this graph was able to make me understand why such a small country like the Netherlands was able to colonise the Netherlands
Worst fucking graphic ever lmao
It has to be a joke haha.
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.
Apparently i’m almost 3 inches taller than average. So somewhat better but still scary
They have ridiculous accents, though. They got nerfed in the tulipmanie patch
Ah, yes, Netherlanders are indeed 4x taller than Indonesians, but at least the Indonesians get better saving throws from their size.
Dont forget theyre naturally Lucky aswell!
Kenyans aren’t on there, but I have to assume they’re pretty big given the 60’ move speed.
They’re actually in the middle but their legs are twice as long.
I’m 6’4" (193 cm) and I felt totally average walking around Amsterdam. As opposed to being a mutant freak in Tokyo.
This is already noticeable between Finland and England. According to the stats I’ve seen, the averages between the two are two inches apart. So, I’m average or just a tad shorter than the average man in the UK. In Finland I’m 5cm shorter than the average, and I kinda feel oddly tall every time I walk around in London because of that.
I’m about a centimeter above the average for an adult male in Denmark and feel like a giant every time I visit the US 😄
If it makes you feel any better, you’re a mutant freak no matter where you go, but some societies will be better at making you feel accepted.
Only time I ever felt small was when I stepped off the train in The Netherlands. (2m)
As opposed to being a mutant freak in Tokyo.
How I imagined the crowds around you in Tokyo:
U smol
Was the scale of this graphic decided on by an incel?
A Dutch one.
So that’s how the Netherlands colonized Indonesia.
Really weird that I’ve been skipping that exact video in my YouTube feed and then see this comment.
Which video?
I’m 188cm (6’2") and grew up in a fairly insular community of Dutch people and their descendants. I thought I was average height until I left that bubble went to university.
RUMBLING, RUMBLING, IT’S COMING
Tatakae!
Are they counting Homo Floresiensis for Indonesia?
This is an excellent shitpost and made me laugh very hard.
