From a site called pudding.cool, they published a story in September 2023 titled "Watch 24 hours of an American day, and the invisible crisis hiding in plain sight."
The site is essentially a study on how the typical American spends their 24 hours on a weekend day in 2021, specifically the hidden prominance of loneliness and how the pandemic has kicked the problem up a notch.
Introduced towards some characters around the start of the day:

Using just two visualized pieces of data combined with a timeline paints a pretty good picture of how loneliness can affect people's outlook on life.
