“Yes, the pronounced hammer coefficients as evidenced by these repeated indentations in the flattened curve…”
phacking p-hacking
Funny how beating a defenseless creature to death with a hammer was just seen as another everyday activity for your typical Saint.
If you torture the data long enough, hey look at how low I got my p-value.
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.
Hello PhD
“Never trust a statistic you didn’t take yourself.”
Should be ‘fake’ not ‘take’, right?
History Trivia: No one outside Germany knows that “Churchill-quote” because it was made up by Nazi propaganda.
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.
Yep, that was a typo. Whoops
May I add this classic?
there’s actually no fucking way
I almost missed the scale on the left. Almost.
Fucking lol. I can’t believe that shit’s real and from Reuters of all places.
I couldn’t find the graph on an original Reuters article (they must have gotten embarrassed and pulled it down lmao), but Business Insider still has it on their version of the article
(edit: and this is just time vs murders, not time vs gun deaths, a better statistic for this)
I think the idea behind the graph was to make it look like blood flowing, but the execution was… not the best
Would still make more sense if it was reversed lol
What the actual fuck
Look at the scale one the left.
(It’s upside down)
I thought at first the point was that murders had gone down because they were suddenly technically legal. The inverted scale thing is worse
I know :)
my reply was in disbelief.
I didn’t.

that can’t be real… why would gun deaths go down after such a law is passed? I don’t understand the world…
Edit: Oh I read the other comments. Yeah that scale is stupid.
