Best correlation/causation explation:
I’m a bit stoned, so that might play a factor but… I’ve just sat there staring at those statistics and graphs in awe for a solid 10 minutes. Thanks for this!
Why the fuck did they add an AI slop explanation and image to each graph lol
To clarify, you get the slop if you click “View details about correlation #NNNN”
That “teacher” has interpretation, extrapolation, and interpolation issues.
its just an AI meme anyways
It’s like people forgot Photoshop exists
That does happen often, but this is an AI image, not photoshop
I’ll bite. How is it AI?
AI just isn’t capable of doing faces. if it were, you’d see faces.
The biggest giveaways are the weirdly pixelated faces (used to hide obvious AI elements) the awkward pose, the way the plaid pattern on the left side (his right arm, just before the white sleeve) merges together, the lack of any other version of this image existing (which is common for photo shopped images) and that when this is run through AI detection software it is flagged as such.
I’m pretty sure this image is not AI because of the background composition. While I agree the pattern on the right arm looks a little weird, that alone doesn’t proof it’s AI. It could be edited using AI but might just be photoshopped. Also you shouldn’t trust AI detection software, it doesn’t work.
Thats why its only one of a few reasons and not the only reason
I don’t know that it’s AI, but the graph is obviously drawn over the picture. I think the original was just making of the professor for wearing a t-shirt over a flannel shirt
I lowkey don’t think it looks bad. Clearly I have just as little fashion sense as he does.
Looks like something for dataisbeautiful
A shirt that screams that correlation =/= causation.
This needs a Hide The Pain Harold faceswap.
Even though you could argue the graphs are right, that still does not mean the variables are related in some way.
Line go up 📈 But also sometimes line go down 📉
smoking withdrawal and not letting the expletives flow together with therapy mandated to deflect social responsibility for your problems increases the frequency of those flying off the handle. Vidya game complexity increases from pong could be a factor too. :P
this image is photoshopped. i can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
Ah, a person of culture I see.
shoop da whoop
There is something about his face that doesn’t look natural but I’m not quite sure if it’s Photoshop or AI
They cut his fingers off. It’s definitely AI.
Its resting DOOM face
I see it too but it’s a little bit blurry on the details
It’s an old meme, sir, but it checks out.
A imagem foi feita em photoshop. Posso falar pelos pixels e por que ja vi alguns shops no meu tempo.
Sim, concordo. Me impressiona o quanto a IA consegue economizar tempo na edição de fotos atualmente.
Hey, no wizard languages allowed. You could be casting a spell for all I know!
Hocus Pocus and Ala Kazaam! Musubibreakfast likes to eat ham!
It’s an older meme, Sir, but it checks out.
Now that’s a meme I’ve not heard on a long time.
That’s correct. I checked with David Photoshop and he confirmed it.
Hey, does he know John Reader and Jeff Lightroom?
I’ve been told he is good buddies with Bob Gimp.
The amount of photoshops has also dramatically increased since 1970s
However the amount of photo shops has dramatically decreased in that same time period.
Probably trying to make a point that correlation and causation are not always related.
Yep. The image is fake, but the graph by itself is an excellent example that correlation does not equal causation.
It’s a round about way of expressing that correlation does not imply causation. It was done so that everytime someone shares this meme of a guy wearing a T-shirt over his flannel, someone in the audience can explain that the graphs intentionally represent a fallacy.
I had the post loaded earlier from scrolling on the toilet and now that I’m scrolling on the toilet again the post has been removed but I have the original photo in my feed still so here it is if you are confused, without the dude’s face
only 7 years to save for a house? well maybe i guess if you don’t have major emergencies. i’m going to go laugh madly in the corner now.
No, it’s not about fiat currency, it’s about the changes to the economy caused by the rise of MBAs and business executives who had different ideas about the way business should use profits (stock buybacks and hiring bureaucrats rather than raises and expansion) and what a company should do (make money rather than provide goods and services at a profit). Read some Graeber to understand more. All this was part of the beginnings of neoliberalism which is the actual problem here, and the end of countries following Keynesian economic policies. And in the US the weakening of unions and the new deal also played a role.
Well at least that’s the case for the economic graphs there. Things like single motherhood and higher divorce rates stem from feminism winning the right to no fault divorce and the ability for a single mother to be less trapped into a relationship she doesn’t want. Several of these graphs stem from social changes in the late 20th century.
There were a lot of economic issues under metallic currency including somewhat frequent panics and crashes.
Wait, did you know that there’s a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity?
I believe the correct answer to OPs question is "an object lesson in the difference between correlation and causality.
Or proof he doesn’t understand that difference, whichever applies.
I bet he thinks ice cream is correlated with the violent crime too
Violent crime precedes ice cream consumption. Clearly crime makes people hungry for ice cream.
I always violent crime before I ice cream
You scream, I scream?
While I do not disagree with you, we shouldn’t underestimate the consumption of stolen ice cream which increases both.
Not ice crime!
clearly it is, thank you for the heads up
ice crime
I like the Nic Cage movies and drowning deaths correlation more. Lol
