Infographics are instant eye-catchers. They tend to draw interest and curiosity because the aesthetic presentation makes information digestible. 

We’ve compiled a list of visual trivia for you to munch on. A few of them are life essentials, like picking the right apple and laundry cycles. You may also come across a handful that may come in handy one day, like Germany’s cultural do’s and don’ts or pricing psychology tips to help you sell more stuff.

Scroll through the images below; hopefully, you learn at least one new thing today.

Equity is what the German health insurance system tries to achieve: Everybody pays the same % of their wages (14,7 if I am not mistaken) into the insurances, but everybody receives the treatment they need, independent from how much you put in. The system is not flawless, of course, because of many reasons. One of them is that higher wages can opt out (they may not return if the wages drop!) and lower wages are more impacted by a percentage than higher. The Dutch try a different approach, everybody pays the same for basic cover (no opt out).

Research has shown that humans naturally process information with visual input. It’s why it is easier for us to read instructions with photos and graphics than in text blocks. 

According to the National Library of Medicine (NLM), articles with a visual abstract are three times more likely to draw views.

Experts in the digital industry consider infographics as effective marketing tools. SEO and keyword research platform Semrush defines them as a “compelling blend of visual data and minimalistic text.” 

In digital marketing, infographics tell stories. The goal is to turn “complicated” information into something visually appealing and easily understood.

The lower part catches cold air and prevents it from flowing into the heated living area. By this providing a natural fridge, too. IIRC, igloos are built using the same concept for the entrance.

Aluminium will not go away, since it's an inert metal (its affinity towards oxygen just creates protective layer, but otherwise it's the same thing). Good stuff with aluminium is that it's fully recyclable and reusable. But since it's cheap, we don't bother recycling it as much as we should...

Many of the Cool Guides on this list contain data and scientific information. As NLM points out, you can deliver them to a broad audience by creating visuals catering to non-specialists. 

This means avoiding too much technical jargon. But if you must include such details, make sure to provide context.

Getting to that sweet spot of images, charts, and texts is key to an infographic’s aesthetic appeal. There must be a balance between data visualizations, words, and pictures. 

Experts advise limiting small texts to titles that stand out. Annotations should be concise, and bullet points should be used to enumerate items.

Greek mythology has more value than any modern mythology (e.g. christianity). Most Greek myths were like Aesop's fables, they were about teaching a moral lesson.

So does this mean that Aries The God of War is the heir as the legitimate son of Zeus? This explains so much about the world. I think he maybe in charge while dad's on holiday.

Is there a chart of how much meat per animal is tossed every day? Separate for "could not be sold" and "customer didn't eat it and forgot to use the freezer". Killing animals for food is not always and in general bad, but if you kill it, you have to eat it. Otherwise it is not only an economical stupid thing to do, but foremost a crime against animals and abusing nature.

Pomodoro works really well for me, eating the frog just makes me frustrated. I personally do a couple small tasks to get into things, then attack the bigger things one at a time. Just kidding, I procrastinate until the overwhelming shame is greater than my desire not to do the thing.
