Crappy Correlations

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.

Depending on the pipe, this one could make sense honestly

Also, please take a moment to think about the people of Oklahoma before you watch another funny cat video.

If you are interested in posting I will take it off of mod posting only, if you are interested in being a mod all the better, let me know. I put it in mod only just because of, you know, bots, spam, and the world we live in right now.
