      The steep drop between 2000 and 2001 makes me wonder. The attack was nearer to the end of 2001.

        I think you have your dates mixed up. These are sales from that calendar year. 2001 sales were down a good bit, so after the attack. 2002 sales was the big dip.

        I think that is because many people buy Jenga as a christmas present, which are usually bought after september.

          The sales dip is also less than 25 percent. If you assume constant sales through the year, the timing is also reasonable.

        Maybe the winter holiday sale would normaly be substantial and therefore had a over proportional impact. 2002 was the more significant drop though.

            All of those are in the format of how the Tamarians in Star Trek speak. They speak in metaphor, which completely fucks with the universal translator (since it’s translating what they’re saying rather than what they mean).

            Just in case you were looking for context. Also know as, my little morning info dump.

        Oh noes some people died! Way more people have died through covid, the ukraine&russia war, the new gaza massacre, of hunger on africa every year… It might have affected you because it happened nearby, but you are not special for having things like that happen to you.

        Well, were you alive when the US retaliated by killing 100 times as many innocent civilians over the actions of a few?

        3000 lives is nothing compared to 300 000, even if they are American.

        So how about you let us make our god damn memes?
