  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 ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

      The amount of photoshops has also dramatically increased since 1970

  I bet he thinks ice cream is correlated with the murder rate too

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

      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 correlation.

  source

  • JelleWho@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

    source

    • daannii@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I do believe murders also positively correlate with ice cream sales.

      I remember asking my first stats teacher. Something like

      “So sometimes it’s obvious that there is a 3rd reason why two things are strongly correlated so we know it’s absurd to assume that one causes the other. But what about when it’s not so easy to tell?. When many people believe one does cause the other. ? (Even in scientific literature). How do we know for sure what is actually causal related and what just looks related?”.

      Short answer. More research. And if possible. Controlled experiment using the sciencetific method. Not always possible.

      –

      She then went on to explain the research on video game violence and behavior violence in kids who play such games.

      This is where things get complicated.

      Violent kids (behavioral traits) seem to be encouraged to be more physically violent by engaging with violent games/media.

      But kids who aren’t already aggressive or violent don’t get that effect.

      Kids with violent tendencies are more attracted to violent video games and play them more.

      Many behavior and social problems are like this.

      One type of engagement increases a specific type of behavior that further increases the engagement that perpetuates the behavior.

      Things become cycles.

      For instance. Depression and anxiety may encourage people to self medicate with recreational drugs. Recreational drugs have long term effects, many of which are increases in anxiety and depression. Which then encourages the person even more to seek out drugs to cope.

      Studying phenomena in the world that can’t be investigated with controlled lab experiments is actually very complex and they often have to gather a lot more data and use more sophisticated statistics.

  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.

  • captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    No, it’s not about fiat currency, it’s about the changes to the economy caused by the rise of MBAs and business executives who had different ideas about the way business should use profits (stock buybacks and hiring bureaucrats rather than raises and expansion) and what a company should do (make money rather than provide goods and services at a profit). Read some Graeber to understand more. All this was part of the beginnings of neoliberalism which is the actual problem here, and the end of countries following Keynesian economic policies. And in the US the weakening of unions and the new deal also played a role.

    Well at least that’s the case for the economic graphs there. Things like single motherhood and higher divorce rates stem from feminism winning the right to no fault divorce and the ability for a single mother to be less trapped into a relationship she doesn’t want. Several of these graphs stem from social changes in the late 20th century.

    There were a lot of economic issues under metallic currency including somewhat frequent panics and crashes.

  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.
