This is a visualization of the size of various known celestial bodies in the observable universe (all 93 billion light years of it). Surprisingly not included?

Presumably made to help aid in my decision of choosing a new battle mount, this is a visualization created by Global Data comparing the sizes of various animals both extant and extinct. I gathered a lot of useful information watching it, and not just that I’ve been spelling polar bear

This is a bar graph visualization detailing the most popular social networks from 2003 – 2022, measured by monthly active users worldwide. Remember 2006? Back when MySpace was king and Twitter was just being born. Things sure have changed, haven’t they? For the worse, just to be clear.
