A wordplay.
If there is a "fucking potato" there should also be a "celibate potato"

Reminds me of the manhwa / webtoons "Surviving the game as a barbarian"
I took a look at the cited paper. Table 2 was used for this graphic. It's from the paragraph right above it
"Cars" includes "Cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, taxis, and mobility apps (like Uber and Lyft). The category also includes motorbikes."
All 154 german cities in the data are listed as western Europe
First off "Africa" (22.2% cars) and "Australia and New Zeland" (75.9% cars) are not shown. But probably more important: The paper where the data is taken from used the traffic data from 794 cities, "weighted by the population of each observation". Most probably there were more cities from regions with high car usage in the data.
Interesting side fact: "The 794 cities in the data are not representative samples of cities worldwide or different regions".
More important than ever: media literacy (and critical thinking).
While it seems the theory and application is taught in school nowadays, i think it's mostly about keeping the critical thinking going every time you hear news or any information especially from friends and family.
We tend to believe stupid things if people we trust tell us. And if you have the foundations of critical thinking since your childhood it's much easier to accept that your thinking is / was wrong and change it. There are enough people whose mind can't be changed even with evidence or good reasoning.
Talking with children about why something is communicated the way it is, which parts can be trusted and which not, which problems it has and so on is very important. And especially not focusing on your own political / moral / religious view in those situations. You love religion X? Don't believe everything they say just because of that. You hate political party Y? Don't think everything they say is automatically a lie just because of that.
