Funny, I actually dislike this presentation over something more basic, like a regular old pie chart. Impossible to get a sense of the proportional difference between these countries, and using tired cultural stereotypes.

Gonna have to disagree, pie charts get completely unreadable if you have a ton of smaller, roughly equal segments. Best for readability would be a bar chart.

Stereotypes ? What do you mean ? Every French dresses like that

Personally I feel like this graphic doesn’t really show the data as the beatiful thing. It’s just text with AI generated stereotyped characters for each country.

It is a pretty clean looking image though, anyone know what model was used? (Or know which models are good at making clean vector-like graphics like this?)

With a clear bias too since only USA is shown in modern clothes while every other country has traditional clothing.

Denim overalls are an American working class stereotype, peaking in popularity during the late 1800s. Most do not look like that

I believe it's AI slop. I checked until 2012 and unless I missed something, there isn't a single year where the list goes "France, Turkey, Canada, Indonesia." In proper AI fashion, it looks correct at first glance but the further you go the worse it tends to get. The information could be from another source, but the hammer in china tells me otherwise.

The little US person should be dressed in a fast food employee outfit or Revolutionary War era clothes, to fit with everyone else.

I searched for 'Stereotypical US Male' and got a guy wearing a Cowboy Hat, black tank top, jeans, and a sleeveless plaid vest. He also has a killer beard, rocking some sunglasses, and is holding a cheeseburger that looks delicious. And, yes, I do have all the items to recreate this look in my closet, but my cheeseburger is not going to compare.

Looks like it sourced the pic from here: https://nypost.com/2025/05/05/tech/heres-what-ai-thinks-american-men-look-like-its-embarrassing/ Damn if Nigeria isn't absolutely rocking that suit.

so what's the car to people ratio?

(does some rough math)

china: 1 car made for every 46 people
usa: 1 for every 32

i'm too lazy to do the rest

It doesn't look statistically generated. The curves are too perfect.

How is this calculated? The Canada/U.S. car industry is very intertwined. Many parts travel back and forth. Who gets credit for producing the car?

I'm in Taiwan and bought a locally built car. It's about 1/2 the price for double the features.

Unfortunately, everyone also buys the same car and it only comes in 3 colors. So I sometimes can't find my car without taking out the keys.
