God i can't wait till my 90s

I don't get how 20-year-olds spend so much time alone. They're generally in college, surrounded by roommates, classmates, faculty, etc.
whaleinlargespoonfulofnutella
Do dogs count as friends?
technitium
Who da fk has 8 hours to spend with their friends
SamuthNBS
I assume the bottom axes are Age (years)? Would be useful to have some kind of label, or clue.
nofaithleft
I'm no American but... well...
marasmus222
At each age, shouldn't the hours add up to 24?
Orothrim
They are averages, there should be slight variance and it doesn't count sleep, which varies from 4-9 hours.
danigirl8807
Seems right. I enjoy being alone. A bit too much i think sometimes.
Urndy
Partner confused me when it dropped at the end and then I realized it's cause they died and now I'm sad
NotGoneYet
Thank god! Oh, that's not the right reaction is it?
myfoldersareexquisite
I love spending my time with Alone.
ajpimpsalll
So, based on my current alone time....I'm ahead the curve?
ASAPHockey
You expect me to believe 85 year olds spend an hour a day with their PARENTS on average?
woodjoiner
Hopefully. Since the category is parents, siblings, or family. Someone visited my G-ma every day after G-pa died. RIP G-ma & G-pa.
cnutmuffin47
Okay I doubt that a bunch of teenagers don't even spend half an hour a day with a partner. I'm calling bullshit on this
z3lfmoord
Sauce is really important with graphs. Could be made up.
chrizyo
That's pretty accurate. Excpet I never see my family, I work at home, have no children and no partner. Wow, thats depressing.
gurglingsteak
Waking hours or total hours?
Zapatista91
A story of an ageing, lonely population. Social isolation is real, folks.
pooprocket
I spend like 2-3 hours with friends every other day and the rest of it alone. I telecommute. Holy dogshit.
XazaxCZG
I didn't know being a boyfriend/girlfriend was a full time job. I'm only doing it part-time
elipseinforeignlanguage
I find lack of labeling the x axis verry irritating.
klean9
After years of being around crazy family, whiney kids, jerk coworkers, needling spouses and grouchy parents, some people like some peace!

This would probably make more sense to me if the said what the axis's are.
dancingForest
It's right there on the graph?
It says total hours on the y axis but nothing on the x axis.
UniversalEngineer
X - age, Y - hours per day spent
Trashkanistan
As a fifteen year old I spent many hours with my children
chillinoodles
Not being funny, but it's implicit
Theothercword
While it doesn't say explicitly that X is age, it actually does say "Hours per day" by the Y. But they formatted it so weird that at...
...first glance I thought they were revealing an average of 8 hours per day for each of the left columns.
Thunderbum
Well I'm glad I'm not alone. ...oh wait

AND WHAT ABOUT PETS 24 HOURS A DAY
Randomice
Well, that got sad fast.
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
They missed the category for 'Cats'.
It's a more complicated graph as you can have multiple cats. So you can actually have more then 24 cat/hours per day.
magnumjenkins
Im literally the coolest guy i know, why wouldnt i wanna spend as much time as possible with me?
ArtMadeofYourComment
You say sad, I say encouraging.

RandomQuack
Weird, it gave me something to look forward to.
Two types of people, I suppose. :-)
UnworthyBeatrix
Well, yes. They're called "extroverts" and "introverts," respectively.
I was an extrovert in my youth as I am a musician, but the more I see of people the less I want to be around them.
Well, yes.
Merhabi
how are people spending less than 5 hours a day on average with coworkers
areibold
Half of Americans don't work #triggered
Fuzzynubz
I spend way less than that. I only work outside my office when a client fails to show.
HapilyDamaged
I have my own office...
StannisBaratheonTheOneTrueKingOfGrammar
DrunkenRhino
That (if I'm correct; don't quote me) would only be the case if hours only came in solid integers, and weren't an abstract.
StarryPlough
Must be the lucky ones who don't have constant pointless meetings
Even working 40 hr weeks, you average to 5.7 hrs/day. Add in outliers like stay at home moms and the unemployed, and it's easy.
BigDickPodrick
I work 37.5 hours per week. Divided by 7 that's about 5 hours and twenty minutes. There are plenty of people on part time contracts too.
stingraysds
Work from home/remotely.
RobManley6
Average among everyone, indicates to me about 60% of polled people work part time or not at all.
There's a fair amount of time I'm sitting in my office doing work with headphones. I wouldn't really count that as engaging with coworkers.
WowThatUsernameIsSoOriginal
unemployed are included as well?
HansWestergaard
Work from home
anthaneezy
To be fair, I only really interact with co workers at lunch. And the occasional hour meeting. So like 2 hours a day. The rest I'm working.

Do serial killers count as alone after they killed or does the corpse count as a person?
If a killer kills a killer it counts
Y'all misunderstood. Im looking for INSTRUCTIONS.
StephenStrangeMD
I had a job as a field service tech where I wouldn't see any of my coworkers for months at a time.
Dial-in to meetings instead of attending, work remotely, etc.
Afghaniscran
My job involves going to different sites, I'm alone most days and see coworkers for like 15 minutes most some mornings
nclu
I work as a software developer. All the kids in my office roll in around 11. I have a family I want to be with so I come in aroun 6 leave @2
I work 9-5. NO ONE does this anymore.
I'm lucky to have my manager. It has worked very well for me.
Gushundi
Can I have dis?
LupusIgnis
Many software houses do this. There is usually an hour a day of mandatory attendance (for meetings), but other than that, you're in control.
MrSisterFister
This is a good example of when NOT to use a line graph.
This is fine. A bar graph would have just added binning issues.
This adds binning issues as well, the viewer has no idea what the bin size is and interprets it as variance within groups.
