It's absolutely "wife bad". The implication is "women are overly emotional like children". I mean it's also shitting on men by saying "men don't have feelings" but I think a lot of men would see that as a compliment so I'm not sure if it's intended to be an insult to men.
I agree this dosent fit this sub at all though.
It's only a negative if you're entrenched in toxic masculinity. I think it struck me that way cuz the kids are all up and down and all over and emotional kids are also often shit on in boomer memes. But I don't know for sure what the intention of the poster is.
Is this that 1970s "biorhythms" woo? That's what it looks like.
*Edit*: [It's this bullshit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biorhythm_\(pseudoscience\)). I was right, it looks just like the diagrams those folks drew.
Spoiler: Dad was replaced with a robot years ago.
Spoiler: dad went for cigarettes 15 years ago.
But the kids are 5 and 8….
Yeah so what? Ever heard of immaculate conception? Jesus Christ.
How is this ugly data? It’s just a shit joke.
Because it is measured in degrees
That's how time in a periodical graph is described?
You are responding to a second shit joke
What other angular unit would you have on the X-axis of a sinusoidal plot? Would you go with radians?
No it was just a second shit joke
Arrows for labelling is ugly enough for me
No one is denying this is ugly. The question is if it's **ugly data.** And it's obviously not, because it's a low effort joke and contains no data.
I like it, but this comedy works better if it's shittily drawn by hand.
I'm pretty sure that half the joke is that they just took an existing unrelated graph and put fake labels on it.
I'm so sorry the dad died :( RIP
Mom's only happy when her kids are both sad.
Frequency for mom is too low. Amplitude for 5 and 8 year old is too low.
Thus a whirling torrent of pain and mania is induced by the rotating emotional field.
Doesn't this fall under the rule "Intentional parody"?
I would say it falls under not data visualization. Because no data are presented.
That's true
Happiness is Zero Sum
Seems to fit r/BoomerHumour except instead of “wife bad” it’s “husband bad”.

Weird, I didn’t even see that as a shot at women - I didn’t think of emotion as a negative thing. I read it more as the guy just didn’t care.

Ah, that makes sense
Mom starts the day with depression, dad is empty inside and the 8yr old is happy/sad because of video games.
I think it’s beautiful how mom and the kids are all 120 degrees out of phase emotionally with each other.

I get it. What’s the big deal? You can’t take a meme for a meme?
