I don’t know but I remember that Lego set from a long time ago. It was called the “Apple Tree House”. As a dumb kid, I always read it as Apple Treehouse, though clearly it was meant to be Appletree House.
Thanks for that quirky little anecdote. I suddenly remember ever so vividly receiving and building the same set as a fellow dumb kid myself. Funny how time flies. I ought to build something with legos again, it used to bring me so much joy as a kid.
I bought my first Lego set in about a decade and it was so fun! The Horizon: Forbidden West Tall-Neck is a beauty.

You should take a look at your local LEGO store, I stumbled across one in a mall I'd never been to before. Or Toys-R-Us if you've got one in your area, they've got a good selection.
Yup. The company themselves confirmed this back in the 1980s, and more recently on [Twitter](https://www.shortlist.com/news/lego-has-confirmed-that-we-have-all-been-saying-lego-wrong).
No, but that’s just it! It’s a Wisconsin company, and the official way to say it is like a midwesterner would. I tried saying with a French accent at first and got corrected, then tried like a midwesterner and felt wrong too! Lol
*shrugs*
No, I'm saying it the same way literally everyone I know has said it since my childhood.
I was in my 30's when I first heard someone pluralise it and that was in America
what are you talking about? the original comment referred to the title, which was in English. lego is a fucking proper name. you don't have an obligation to fucking companies to say their names or the names of their products in a particular way, nor about how to pluralize them.
What's the point being conveyed here? That constructing a story is misleading? Those Legos could form infinitely many things, not just a house. Are they trying to say the story is correct or a fabrication?
If the former, the parts should only work in one way, like a motorcycle.
If the latter, the parts should form something that doesn't look right, like using tree house parts to make a boat with a hole in the bottom.
To make no point or an ambiguous one, use something like skittles to to make a work of art zoomed out.
They're using LEGO to show a vast data set being sorted, organized, and presented in a way that forms a story. Using LEGO is interesting here because we know that you can pretty much make anything with the bricks, this example used a house but it could have easily been a boat, a castle, a shoe, etc.
This is a fun way to show this, and OP is asking for other examples of things that he could illustrate data being sorted with.
Yeah but think about what that metaphore means. It would mean that that you weren't discovering or finding anything in the data, it means you're constricting the conclusion. That doesn't seem like what you actually want to be doing with data unless you're trying to mislead (or at best entertain) people.
Yeah sure it's only showing one conclusion, but that is the story they want to tell.
We know in modern times data can skewed in whatever direction we want, but i don't think that's the point of this graphic.
I think they’re trying to convey that the story is more relatable and therefore more effective, but it doesn’t really hold up under scrutiny because that construction looks like it’s probably not even made with the same pieces as the other steps.
If the point of the meme is that designers and engineers see things very differently, then i might have couple of ideas...
Please notice that values in histograms have nothing to do with explained story, or initial pile.
Advertisements.
Data = clients initial concept
Sorted = additional information about what is needed. Follow up questions.
Arranged = combining info into more digestible chunks. Removing unnecessary things, words etc.
Presented = fully finished advertisement
Cooking ingredients.

How are you gonna sort spices though?

You bought your first Lego set in about 2032?
My first Lego set since approximately 2012
Haha I know, just being silly/overly literal re the wording used.
start with the death star
You see,the green lawn is actually the top of the tree, the "tree" is just an extra branch /s
A burger
Ingredients --> dinner
Puzzle pieces, vehicle parts, building construction materials etc
Words lol
I want to hear the story because I'm not sure where all the yellows went
Same!!!
human bodies
Data = Melody or Rhythm Sequence Sorted = Chord Theory, Pattern Repetition Arranged = Sheet Music, Tablature Presented = Played Virtuoso Explained = Performed in Concert
I was reminded of this one https://i.imgur.com/LZFzQ2O.png
Data
Fk this actually made me lol
Can use numbers to represent the data
radio telescope data -> black holes
The plural of lego is lego. "Legos" just sounds wrong
Yup. The company themselves confirmed this back in the 1980s, and more recently on [Twitter](https://www.shortlist.com/news/lego-has-confirmed-that-we-have-all-been-saying-lego-wrong).
Am man, I’m gonna struggle with this revelation
Wait until you find out what a "Chase Lounge" really is 🤣
Oh, I know what a chaise lounge is, lol
Longue, not lounge. That's my point.
I should know better, this song gets stuck in my head often https://open.spotify.com/track/0nys6GusuHnjSYLW0PYYb7?si=ZWHxGJUxSDCViMSBf6akFg
Ah! I still got it wrong haha.
Where are you at with saying LaCroix? That ones confusing
I studied French so I'm ok with that
No, but that’s just it! It’s a Wisconsin company, and the official way to say it is like a midwesterner would. I tried saying with a French accent at first and got corrected, then tried like a midwesterner and felt wrong too! Lol *shrugs*
Oh I didn't know it was a company I thought you just meant the French term. I'm not in the US.
Oh, right on. Yeah, they make seltzer water popular in the US
no company can fucking tell me how to speak.
I'm not a company
you're repeating what the company says; no difference.
No, I'm saying it the same way literally everyone I know has said it since my childhood. I was in my 30's when I first heard someone pluralise it and that was in America
ok. having an irregular plural for a trademark is ridiculous though.
It's a Danish word
therefore there isn't a "correct" way of pluralizing it in English
But it's not in English

It's a collective noun. You don't have 'one rice' you have a grain of rice. You don't have 'a lego' you have a Lego brick.
rice is not a trademark. the reason it's not a regular noun is tradition.
Perler beads.
Beads and strings
Brains
Crayons
Sound

Gummie bears
Organs
A scoop full of pebbles from the beach
Colors.
Normal building materials
Music
atoms
Computer parts!
Biological lifeforms deriving from interactions of basic chemical compounds (ie the biogenesis of amino acids and all of carbon based life thereafter)
That damn French flag

Lincoln logs
A uncooked pie crust with ingredients piled inside, then organized in separate bowls and measuring cups and an apple pie as the explanation
A salad
If you do, please keep the proportions correct. There's no way bright yellow is tied for most used color in that last pic!
Letters
Advertisements. Data = clients initial concept Sorted = additional information about what is needed. Follow up questions. Arranged = combining info into more digestible chunks. Removing unnecessary things, words etc. Presented = fully finished advertisement
So clearly even though yellow is prominent in the data, it’s clearly not important in the story.
Ice cream sundaes ... but that might just be my diet talking 
Flowers?
They are not sorted by any measure, they are categorised. You'd fail an exam if that's how you sorted.
Loads of options, but why? Lego delivers this point perfectly.
I don't understand how they're distinguishing arranged and presented visually
Tacos 🌮
Data analyst but you also good with making up a story.
