I don't know how to even approach consideration of this curiosity. It is intriguing in its layout, and yet indescribably baffling. Did the author intend any structure? Is there meaning in the clusters and islands? The work intrigues, but leaves the viewer hopelessly lost in the depths of its mystery.

I'm just enjoying commenting at this point. I am actually interested in the full essay that would enlighten us about exactly how this chart can be interpreted.

Edit: Also, I disagree with the insinuation that a viewer has any obligation to help with the presentation of the data. We have awarded feedback, and with that, you may make a choice: Will you try again and improve the work, portraying the glory of excitement that you've felt upon pondering the mystery you've sought to dispel? Or will you leave the viewership to ponder the mystery of the graphic they see before them, and the origin of the authorship which led to its creation? It is up to you, and you have no real obligation to choose the former option. The only difference you will see is in your Reddit point count, which you may or may not see as consequential, but which absolutely is inconsequential in the grand scheme of life.

I dropped a pin in Colorado and learned there’s a place along the Green River named Molly’s Nipple.

Took me down a rabbit hole where I learned an early pioneer to Utah named seven peaks, one butte, a well, a lake, and a ranch Molly’s Nipple to commemorate his wife’s nipples.

That’s a lot of nipples! This is the kind of stuff they should be teaching in geography.

This took way more NLP than I anticipated.

Recipes that have similar ingredients are closer together. The idea was the take 3700 different recipes for pie, but understand how much variation there is in terms of their ingredients. So the algorithm will cluster recipes that have very similar ingredients and give them one color, and place the cluster in such a manner that clusters with very different ingredients are far away from each other.

Tools: NLTK, UMAP, HDBSCAN

e.g. Sugar dimension represents-> ['brown sugar', 'light brown sugar', 'cinnamon sugar', 'white sugar', 'powdered sugar']

We got a lemon zester for a present and it sat in a drawer for 25 years until we started getting Hello Fresh / Good Food / Chef's Plate.

Now we joke about shaving lemons and cuddling the chicken (pat chicken dry with a paper towel then yadda yadda...)
