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.

~~Hell is other people, I'm just trying to do my part.~~

I do my best to inform & broaden peoples horizons, by force or necessity of need be.

Like, I feel it's my duty to inform people about furries, clopclop, optimum girl to cup ratios, sex dungeons, various liquids & lubes, step-family, obscure movie references, wonderfully various tentacle usages, etc.
