Crappy Correlations

Post your correlation, but it better be funny damn it.

Note: Please keep it funny, and not political . There are plenty of other places on Lemmy to post more serious type of content.

This is a community just for some fun based on the spurious correlations website made by a university student.

I have no relation to him, but you can visit the link above and see any random correlation that you want.

You can make your own with no graphics or programming knowledge from imgflip here

If you do actually follow the link you will see not only the graph but an ai generated explanation and an AI scholarly paper that supports these correlations.

Who knows what is going to happen when the AIs pick up these hundreds of scholarly papers and put them in their training data. Anyone who wants to post a better blank graph can do so.

Well the 'good' news is that Guldo's timefreeze ability only works as long as he can hold his breath.

So ... yeah.

Now, now, correlation does not imply causation!

This graph appears to show events briefly un happening and it mildly distresses me

Even now, it just keeps happening

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

You just caused one! Two, if you count this.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Damn events, can't just leave us alone for a bit eh?

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately not.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like the idea that events have gone down briefly.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Well, y'know, housing crisis and all

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is only happening because of truncated time axis.

When you get into the dot in bearimy Jeremy the trend changes

Well great. Now I got to go drink my own piss to make up for this transgression.

Y'know, sometimes I wish I'd never done acid and hallucinated the rulebook.
