About "What The Hell Are People Doing?"

The "What The Hell Are People Doing?" dashboard presents a dynamic, illustrative simulation of estimated global human activities in real-time. It aims to provide a thought-provoking and engaging perspective on how humanity collectively spends its time, visualized through constantly updating statistics and a global day/night map.

Methodology & Data Simulation

The figures presented on the main page are not exact real-time tracking data but are derived from a sophisticated simulation model. This model incorporates several key components:

Purpose & Interpretation

This project serves primarily as an artistic representation and for entertainment and illustrative insight. It is designed to:

It is crucial to understand that real-world human activity is vastly more nuanced and diverse than any simplified model can capture. Cultural differences, economic conditions, age demographics, individual choices, day-of-the-week variations, and countless other factors significantly impact how people spend their time.
