Demographics has never been this metal! 🤘 The top two pyramids show what we expect - rich countries with stable populations (left) and poor countries where everyone's making babies (right). But that bottom one? That's when a demographer wakes up screaming at 3 AM.

Those bizarre spikes and gaps in the "cursed" pyramid aren't just statistical anomalies - they're literal population erasures. Wars, genocides, famines, or mass emigrations create these demographic nightmares that scream "something catastrophic happened here!" It's like reading a country's trauma in bar graph form.

Next time someone shows you a graph shaped like a demonic butterfly, maybe don't plan your vacation there. Just saying.
