May I add this classic?

What the actual fuck

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 29 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Look at the scale one the left.

(It’s upside down)

[–] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I know :)

my reply was in disbelief.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

I didn’t.

I thought at first the point was that murders had gone down because they were suddenly technically legal. The inverted scale thing is worse

[–] Ashen44@lemmy.ca 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

there's actually no fucking way

[–] Signtist@lemm.ee 17 points 7 months ago

I almost missed the scale on the left. Almost.

Should be 'fake' not 'take', right?

History Trivia: No one outside Germany knows that "Churchill-quote" because it was made up by Nazi propaganda.

[–] Schneemann@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

After a quick search I found lots of pages that attributed it to Churchill or Goebbels but apparently there is actually no record of one of them saying it.

[–] resting_parrot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Yep, that was a typo. Whoops

If you torture the data long enough, hey look at how low I got my p-value.

[–] 7empest@beehaw.org 2 points 7 months ago

Cull the outliers..... Not low enough

Transform the data.... Not low enough

Normalise the data... Not low enough

Alter the model by adding random effects... Not low enough.

The major factors showed a trend towards significance.... therefore our hypothesis was met.

Funny how beating a defenseless creature to death with a hammer was just seen as another everyday activity for your typical Saint.
