I think some of the numbers are skewed because of induced births. Hospitals won't schedule an induced birth on Christmas day, if they can help it.

I spent far too long looking at this graph thinking that blue was male and pink was female and drawing the wrong conclusions

Same here. I wondered how that was even possible before discovering my Lemmy client had cropped out the legend. Not a fan of this coloring scheme, especially having white as the median value.

People really working hard to have kids on Valentine's day.

Nine months after St.Patricks day, there's a blip on December 12. Interesting....

I’m guessing this data is from one hemisphere (the northern?)
