Visualising ~500k raw GPS samples per F1 race as a live-synced replay dashboard [OC]

The FIA publishes a 4 Hz location stream for every car via OpenF1's free mirror (about 500,000 raw samples per Grand Prix).

Was Kinder von 1920 bis 2026 mal werden wollten

Kindliche Naivität, aber wenn man im Fernsehen nur sieht, wie die ihre Zeit gestalten und eigentlich den ganzen Tag mit Leichtigkeit Entscheidungen treffen, dafür maximal viel Geld bekommen und sonst …

[OC] Female vs male shares of young adults (25-34 yrs) with a bachelor’s degree or higher, 14 OECD countries (2024)

First graph: takes all 25-34 year olds of that country with a 4-year college degree or higher, and looks at the female:male split. Second graph: per-gender educational attainment percentages for 25-34. Notes Initial thought was, maybe all these countries just have a lot of females aged 25-34?

[OC] As a Brit living in the US, I’ve always been curious about how Americans give their children the same names as some British counties (lots of Kents and Devons) but not others (no baby Middlesex or Leicestershire).

[OC] I asked GPT to pick a random number between 1 and 100

I asked GPT-4.1 to pick a random number between 1 and 100. 10k times. This post is an "AI remix" of a very popular Reddit post here on r/dataisbeautiful where people were asked the same question: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/iiafkd/oc_i_asked_100_people_to_pick_a_number_between/ People also tend to not be very good random number generators. I wanted to see if an AI [...]

[OC] M*A*S*H episode ratings across all 11 seasons, with special episodes highlighted — do the experimental ones actually rate higher?

Long-time MAS*H fan, and I had a theory that the "special" episodes… the Dear… letters, the experimental format ones like The Interview and Point of View, and the big milestones like Abyssinia Henry, were disproportionately better rated than regular episodes. So I pulled the data to find out. Built in Python using the official IMDb [...]

[OC] Every billionaire’s wealth, visualized at 1 pixel = $1,000 and what you could do with that amount of money

I built an interactive website that displays every billionaire's wealth as colored rectangles where each pixel represents $1,000.
