For clarification: This map isn't based on any real world data. There is no index. Its only purpose is to depict US states with age verification for porn laws on their books. The rest of the world is coloured in somewhat randomly.

me when i... completely make up data at random???

Maybe it's per capita, but that wouldn't explain why Greenland has no data and all of Africa is filled in.

Read the undertext by OP, they completely made up all the data to make a joke about age verification in some US states to access porn.

This is Bob. Bob doesn’t upvote data visualization posts without a key or labeled axes.

Be like Bob.

Pro tip: ordinarily, Markdown will delete a single line break in the middle of a block of text, so that if for some reason you're on a system where you have to do your line wrapping manually, you can without worrying about it messing up your formatting. Normally, the only way around this is by putting two line breaks in a row for a paragraph break. You can, however, force Markdown to insert a single line break by putting two spaces at the end of a line.

This is George. There are two spaces at the end of the first two lines of his body.

He's a lot shorter than Bob, and a lot better looking.

(His head is still tilted to the side a little bit since Markdown strips leading spaces at the beginning of a line. I'm not aware of a way to avoid that besides putting your ASCII stick figure inside of a code block (triple backticks on their own line before and after text you want to stay formatted how it is). If anyone has suggestions possibly involving little known Unicode characters please let me know.)

Alt+255 gives you an invisible character but I'm on a phone so I can't check if that fixes George.

It doesn't seem to work. Or I copied the wrong character.

A lot of front ends strip it out since it can be used in so many disruptive ways.

In my app I don't see the space normally, but when I reply to your comment it shows a focused view which DOES seem to show the space.

Replies, in most Lemmy (and previously Reddit) apps I've used generally show the "pure" markdown when replying, rather than the formatted variant.

If you reply to this comment you should see this line as being broken up.

and this line as having a few regular spaces in the front.

So I get Texas and Utah, why is Montana using so many VPNs?

Recently they passed some draconic anti-porn laws and now pornhub is geoblocked in Montana

Ok I missed that news story.

I only know because a friend's from there and people were clowning on Montana for a while when it was announced

I added an explanation in the description.

Pornhub should get into the VPN business 👀

Wouldn't providing the circumventing measure themselves potentially open them up to be fucked by the states with the bans? Pun kinda intended.

That was a thing tho, they did that. Friggin VPNHUB it was called. At least I think it was actually them. Not sure if it's still around

Probably relative I assume? Still would be nice to know what colours are what %

I added an explanation in the description.

Does hosting your own VPN count?

Love the clarification BTW. I notice Texas there.
