Whoa, this is really overwhelming! Mickey forgot that the dataset includes data for a lot of different rodent species, not just kangaroo rats. Mickey is only interested in two kangaroo rat species: Dipodomys ordii (Ord’s kangaroo rat) and Dipodomys spectabilis (Banner-tailed kangaroo rat).

    A function called "my_awesome_custom_function" is lurking in my R environment. I must have defined it a while ago and forgotten! Code that includes this function will not run for someone else unless the function definition is also included in the reprex.

    It’s minimal! It’s reproducible! But… what is the problem? This is a perfectly reasonable plot, so without context, your helper won’t know what’s wrong. Let’s explain it to them.
