this image is photoshopped. i can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 96 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's correct. I checked with David Photoshop and he confirmed it.

[–] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The amount of photoshops has also dramatically increased since 1970s

[–] zerofk@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

However the amount of photo shops has dramatically decreased in that same time period.

Hey, does he know John Reader and Jeff Lightroom?

Now that's a meme I've not heard on a long time.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

There is something about his face that doesn't look natural but I'm not quite sure if it's Photoshop or AI

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

Its resting DOOM face

[–] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

I see it too but it's a little bit blurry on the details

It's an old meme, sir, but it checks out.

It's an older meme, Sir, but it checks out.

That "teacher" has interpretation, extrapolation, and interpolation issues.

[–] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

its just an AI meme anyways

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 38 points 1 week ago (7 children)

It's like people forgot Photoshop exists

I bet he thinks ice cream is correlated with the violent crime too

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 27 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Violent crime precedes ice cream consumption. Clearly crime makes people hungry for ice cream.

You scream, I scream?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

While I do not disagree with you, we shouldn't underestimate the consumption of stolen ice cream which increases both.

Teaching students to not conflate correlation with causation by pointing out absurd assumptions of causality from real correlations.

[–] JelleWho@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

My favourite argument is that; The amount of people buying ice creams and the amount of people drowning also looks like curves that follow each other. But less ices creams will not make less people drown. They both go up because of good weather conditions. They do not influence each other.

[–] Pman@lemmy.org 8 points 1 week ago

The historical version of this was the ww2 airplane patch job stats, where american bombers returning after getting hit were hit in specific areas and the statistician had to explain that those who returned despite that damage meant those were not the places to reinforce but the other areas of the plane makeing it more survivable, or more recently how Santa Monica CA almost removed crosswalks because that was where the highest pedestrian mortally rates were. In both those cases the people making the assumptions missed the bigger picture, for the planes that those who got hit in more sensitive spots got downed and for pedestrians getting killed at crosswalks that was because that is where pedestrians cross the street most of the time, almost leading to more deaths.

Probably trying to make a point that correlation and causation are not always related.

[–] nailingjello@piefed.zip 30 points 1 week ago

Yep. The image is fake, but the graph by itself is an excellent example that correlation does not equal causation.

[–] Rudgrcom@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] kcseb@pawb.social 6 points 1 week ago

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!

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why the fuck did they add an AI slop explanation and image to each graph lol

The fuckig disrespect to barely blur this man's face and post him in a photoshopped t-shirt that makes him look like a piece of shit.

What the fuck is wrong with you? What did this man do to you that you would post this online? You think that blur job is doing anything?

"Relax, it's just a joke"

PEOPLES LIVES HAVE BEEN RUINED FOR THIS KIND OF SHIT! All it takes is one dumbfuck to not see that it's a joke to cause a problem. One parent who complains to the admin who grill this guy for no reason. One shithead student who starts a rumor about him.

Fuck you OP. I hope someone plasters YOUR shitty blurred face all over the internet and tries to tie YOU to being a racist, elitist, piece of shit.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

The only thing I can say is that I didn't think through what I was doing. That's not an excuse though.

As soon as I came back here and say your comment something in my head snapped and what you were saying made complete sense. I immediately erased it and will make every attempt to think through posts that may be problematic in the future before I post them.

Totally my fault.

:(

A shirt that screams that correlation =/= causation.

[–] Kwiila@slrpnk.net 17 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] mech@feddit.org 17 points 1 week ago

This needs a Hide The Pain Harold faceswap.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Even though you could argue the graphs are right, that still does not mean the variables are related in some way.

Line go up πŸ“ˆ But also sometimes line go down πŸ“‰

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

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 7 points 1 week ago

Clearly he has studied history.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's wearing correlation without causation.

Wait, did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity?
