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.

I love the Spurious Correlations website.

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.

Depending on the pipe, this one could make sense honestly
