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 click on this link and see any random correlation that you want. I'm going to post some of these for Lemmy people for awhile, until I get bored. https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious/random 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 pickup these hundreds of scholarly papers and put them in their training data.

how do we know that autism doesn't cause organic food sales?

It would mean an autistic person would pay 50k usd for organic food per year on average

137 USD per day on food‽ Organic food is not the same as overpriced "organic" lifestyle food.
