I'm curious what is going on with the spike at 50. Maybe related to lots of alcohol at big birthday celebrations?

At 50 your hands finally heal from that injury at 45, so you can start punching walls at full strength again.

Could be rounding errors. At 50+, you don’t care about your exact age anymore

[–] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

I assumed this chart is from hospital data, which does care about age

I think it's a small numbers problem. I'd love to see the data they're basing this from.

The source is at the bottom of the picture. I would just assume its a US study, because its a study about idiots.

The Y axis seems to be absolute numbers with the highest around 75 total. So yeah, small numbers.

This seems to be a pretty small sample size, so i assume it's just fluctuations that happened by pure chance
