Look at the time scale. The deaths of the 1912 sinking are taking about thrice the time to die and microsecond implosion took all year of 2023, if the time scale is too be believed.

It's just how graphs work

Yea and I'm whining a bit over it's execution. I mean I got the joke, but instead of attacking the authors' censorship of the word 'death' I chose something else to nitpick about.

It's funny to me how controversial pointing out that a graph sucks seems to be.

I honestly kind of enjoy nerdish pedantic nit-picking over the most inconsequential things, really. It's better than a lot of other hobbies. I'm still gonna poke fun sometimes, probably. Kudos for the word 'thrice' as well. Whenever I read that word I imagine extra emphasis and an index finger thrust skywards.
