Cool interactive graphic: who's doing what, when
Check out this cool interactive graphic. This shows how Americans spend their time.
On the right side you can isolate different groups to see how they are spending their day. There sure is a lot of TV and movie watching going on!

It seems like most people just work watch the box then sleep. What I thought was odd is that Black people sleep less than White or Hispanic people according to the graph.

That's likely because they also work a lot less, as indicated in the graph.

I don't think they work a lot less, they work more hours that are not 9 to 5.

If you click back and forth quickly between 'employed' and 'unemployed' it looks like the graph is laughing. I find that ominous, and comforting, and ominous, and comforting...

I noticed it looks like a fat pair of lips, when it's on 'everyone'.
Did y'all find out when people are having sex? |

I don't know if that's statistically significant, or not. I looked for their sample size and didn't find it.
