Want to love this but it's completely ruined by "see" for me.

Which is german for lake, so still works. There is simply a international border line right between "Beach" and "See" so the labeling correctly switched language.

and everyone knows that England owns the sky

Its also german for ocean ;)

Not really, the words Meer and Ozean are used for just about every sea/ocean, except the ones Germany actually borders (Nordsee and Ostsee)

It’s primarily a difference in gender. „Der See“ (masculine) is a lake, while „die See“ (feminine) is the ocean.
But yes, it’s much more common to talk about „Meer“ and „Ozean“. Talking about „die See“ is a bit archaic and pirate-speak-ish.

Arrrr. I spent quite some time on the see so I am allowed.

The font choice of the chart legend makes me think it was added on top of the original

I wonder if that exists somewhere, would make a cool t-shirt

Reminds me of this old classic

I see the see.

See is German for lake

But all the other words are English

and thats ok. English is allowed to exist 😘

Typical Dutch, showing off their bilingualism...

I'm Flemish!

That means you're descended from the guy who wrote the James Bond books, right?

In Dutch we say "zee"

Dutch is just drunk German after all 😘

But why do I only see one German word? It's weird you see ...

Unfortunately this chart is misleading. There are two separate instances of roadway, these should be combined. This is a common issue with pie charts, data can be manipulated by splitting series in arbitrary ways. Simply relabeling the series “left lane” and “right lane” wouldn’t fix the problem because it’s an arbitrary distinction, both lanes are “road” in every way that matters (color, presumably). Combine the two roadway series, move the white line slice to one side or the other.

Was going to comment this, albeit less elaborate.

Also, if lines don't make difference because they are both road, I hope you have very fast reflexes when you drive

takes a lot of skill to drive against this slew of oncoming traffic

While we are at it. Maybe it should be ordered from big to small, as this way it is easier to compare each part. Another way of displaying the buckets would be in a histogram, this will bring more structure and more clarity to the size comparisons between each bucket.

Eastbound and westbound lane. Problem solved.

I didnt even realise what was going on until I saw white lines

Yeah, i had no idea and once i reached the white line i looked at the image and it switched in perspective from a 2D to a 3D perspective. Quite fazinating.

Running through your mind?

Wtf why is this so sick

Because sea is spelled see, see.
