    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

      I think the idea behind the graph was to make it look like blood flowing, but the execution was… not the best

    Should be ‘fake’ not ‘take’, right?

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

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

  • 7empest@beehaw.org ⁨10⁩ ⁨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.
