My gf picked an orange off a tree in italy and we ate it. A week later I installed linux as my main os.

I'm not saying I don't believe you but you didn't tell us which Linux.

I had no idea RMS was on Lemmy. Borrow any good Internet connections lately?

I get that it's kinda ~~funny~~ quirky, but honestly, free software (and also other forms of open source software) wouldn't exist in the form they do today without his contributions to GNU and the GPL.

I'm not going to make fun of someone for staying true to their principles.

His contributions are immeasurable and worthy of legend. He is also a very strange bird and that can't be swept aside.

Strange is right! I once attended a seminar he gave. He stopped in the middle, and refused to proceed, until he was provided with Diet Coke. Truly strange.

Definitely not Arch, then.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I mean their name is endeavour so it's mostly Arch I think

Unfortunately, I don't think Hannah Montana Linux is updated anymore.

I hope she finds love on her Netflix show

how do we know that autism doesn't cause organic food sales?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

It would mean an autistic person would pay 50k usd for organic food per year on average

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

137 USD per day on food‽ Organic food is not the same as overpriced "organic" lifestyle food.

Now, do gluten!

if you scroll the data left, before the invention of pesticides, do the lines suddenly spike up???

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Hilarious, but I wonder what it would look like correlated with "better access to information."

Seems like better access to information could drive both food decisions and likeliness to seek medical diagnosis.

Edit: This one chart could be driving all good and bad decisions. Now I want to see a reverse correlationb of this chat with likeliness to watch "Avatar: The Last Air Bender (The Movie)"...

Ate an organic carrot once. Now I moderate an autism sub. Organic vegetables, not even once.

Such a classic.

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.

https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious/random

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.
