Trying to contextualize inflation data

I'll assume this is legit thing to do but idk. If I compound $1 starting in 1914 at [2%, 3%, 4%, CPI-U] This is what it'd look like. Any conclusions? Not really although it looks like: a) the damage of the late 70s was more or less permanent, b) we are inflicting some damage again, and c) hyper inflation would be literally off the chart and unimaginable.
