What's the point of having data split over different colours/coasts? Rather had more info on the circles' sizes, but ok

Edit: should have added a thank you note for op, because sounds like I critize them but I'm not

Yeah that was really strange to me as well. Good way to learn compass directions? 😸

In German it's: Nie ohne Seife waschen (Never Wash without soap)

Isn't the size guide there? 1.5 to 3 mm rise per year is defined, so you can extrapolate the rest, roughly

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Yes roughly, but especially where there is an overlap you can't really anymore. On the interactive version it is answered precisely, but I don't see the point of graphing on which coast it is; I can already see that on the map. It would make sense if it were a table for example.
