last!
this should not be a curved line, but bars. The graph as it is indicates that if I start speaking English and gradually move to Spanish, my speaking volume will go up. But that if I want to move from Spanish to Cantonese, I’ll have to speak Arabic and Hindi first. This is not the case.
Yes.
This comment made me actually laugh out loud. Imagine we were forced to converse this way?
I fail at any language aside from my native ( English! ) so I’d never be heard, ever!
But perhaps that is a good thing?
Maybe I’ll carry a whiteboard and a marker from now on..
*SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK*
Whiteboard = (quickly writes something onto whiteboard, squeaking) FAIL.
kinda figured out you’re native language BEFORE you metioned it!
omg shut up nobody cares the graph was funny
Well I’m Cantonese and I’m from Brooklyn, born and raised. This must mean they can hear me on the moon.
science fail: there is no atmosphere on the moon (and for 99% of the distance between the earth and the moon), so no medium to carry sound. no one could hear you on the moon, because nothing can be heard at all there.
so does this mean the graph has another footnote: (WARNING: ASSUMES ATMOSPHERE IS PRESENT ON TRAIN)?
Lunar fail: Earth’s moon is surrounded by a thin layer of molecules that can be qualified as an atmosphere.
*classified* as an atmosphere.
you fail at understanding sarcasm
that’s how freaking loud ninjarina is. you can hear them even without an atmosphere!
Xenophobia FTW!
It’s pretty well-educated for xenophobia. Typical xenophobes don’t have the foggiest what “Cantonese” is. It’s all chingchong slant talk to them. And there’d be one entry for both Hindi and Arabic as every middle-eastern and central asian person is a sheet wearing “golly gosh yes”-type to a xenophobe.
I read this more as a small dig at clashing cultural norms. Especially as all the non-English speakers in this are merely at a little above outdoor level, and non-Brooklyn English-speakers are made fun of too, being “inaudible”. No one gets a free pass in this graph, and not having a favored group to identify with makes it hard to believe this is xenophobia.
confirmation bias for the lose, then
I don’t think it’s Xenophobia. The loudest “language” is Brooklyn English. Additionally, have you lived in China before? Most people don’t learn about inside voices. This country is LOUD. Like, women carrying their sleeping babies just laugh and joke as loud as they can. None of that “Shhh, quiet! The baby’s sleeping,” nonsense. I’m not saying it’s wrong of them, but it’s a generalized observation, which I’m sure is where the graph designer was coming from.
You forgot any kind of Slavic-based language.
Like there’s a freakin’ war outside…
Yes!
i have found the relationship (person beside me in public) to be volume:objectionable language and content. then the curve applies.
All values on the chart double if the speaker is using a cell phone.
Or with a relative.
try living overseas, it’s kind of the opposite when you hear other Americans, especially tourists…
Maybe in other countries, but not in China!
Does “Teenager” count as a language? I swear they are the loudest on the train.
Ditto. Teenager on a cell phone is always the loudest. Although 20-somethings are bad, too.
So true!
American English-speakers are the absolute loudest in the world, regardless of the dialect. they don´t even have to say anything coherent. they just have to say something at their standard yelping volume on the street at 3 am, andi can say “that´s an american, right there”
True, I went to Nice (France) this summer, There were a group of Americans At the opposite end of the Supermarket discussing which beer to buy…
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOLID WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great graph. Creative, humorous and unique. You rocked it pal!
BA-DUMP TSSSSS!
You forgot ebonics at ear-shattering
You could add ‘Cajun’ at the ‘Artillery Barrage’ level also.
I disagree when it’s individual Cajun, as I live with one, but get more than one within earshot… “INCOMING!”
Lol @ “artillery barrage”. ^_^
Cantonese needs to be much higher on the graph.
I wholeheartedly agree. I swear I’m going to lose my hearing in this country…
I love a hot cup of ethnocentrism in the morning.
Does it leave you with an ethnocentric moustache?
Categorical data representation FAIL.
I really wish people would understand line chart vs. bar graph… sigh…
I really wish people would understand that this is about fun not making a correct chart/graph… sigh…
I really wish people would understand that it’s not funny if the chart/graph isn’t used correctly . . . sigh . . .
I want to sit on your faces while you sigh into my taint.
Wow, this graph isn’t racist at ALL.
i always thought boston english was the loudest
True.
