this comic uses a log scale (I extrapolate this from the only two data points given).

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 8 months ago

(apologies for pedantry) This can't be the case, as the zero point is visible in the graph and even gets crossed to the negatives. Log scale graphs only show positive values and place zero infinitely below the horizontal axis.

If that were the case, the y-axis label would be log(NUMBER OF HUSBANDS), no?

[–] oce@jlai.lu 5 points 8 months ago

It's a choice, it's not mandatory to use a log on your y axis when you plot a log.
