:I know enough about the subject to appreciate the comic, and generally recognise the real vs. not-so-real things in it to a decent degree, but (as of my first viewing, slightly after the first linkless "seems to be about the weather" text went in) couldn't really quickly muster a decent explanation together. From the above conversation, looks like I ''could'' have spent time on it, but it was late night/early morning and I was hoping something better would arrive while I was asleep. (From the above comments, and what little has effectively been added, I was wrong. Might poke away at it, now I've dealt with my morning tasks and had my dinner.)

Newbie here. I wondered whether the timing of this may be related to the recent publishing of a log-log chart by the Economist newspaper called "The Chart of Everything" (https://www.economist.com/interactive/christmas-specials/2024/12/21/the-chart-of-everything) based on the paper "All objects and some questions" (https://pubs.aip.org/aapt/ajp/article/91/10/819/2911822/All-objects-and-some-questions). If not, I hope you find it diverting. [[User:Stevejohnston|Stevejohnston]] ([[User talk:Stevejohnston|talk]]) 13:51, 2 January 2025 (UTC) | Newbie here.

...did the ip address user really just have chatgpt write an explanation of this page without a proper understanding of what is happening in this page? the only reasonable content in this explanation page right now was contributed by other users and is a couple lines at the beginning. also they didn't even try to hide that the entire text was AI-generated - Vaedez (talk) 05:09, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Better than hiding it. I'm guessing they just wanted to help but didn't know what the graph in question was. But I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume this mostly vapid explanation is as good as no explanation, and remove it for now. 108.162.216.132 05:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
