Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

82% of what... Packages delivered??? Cmon meow

It's in the image... % of citizens regularly facing package theft. Though that's still pretty vague. How regularly is regularly? Seems incredibly high still.

The article literally says "at least once" -- this rates are clearly nonsense and anyone who cannot see that should question their ability to detect bullshit.

Got you bro: 🔬

Yeah none of those percentages seem to make any sense.

These numbers are crazy pants high. I don't believe any of them now. They ruined their credibility

[–] Strocker89@beehaw.org 2 points 4 months ago

Right?! Are they seriously suggesting that 80% of all packages delivered in Philadelphia are stolen?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

"Porch piracy"? Huge opportunity missed to call it porch poaching.

Methodology  

In May 2024, we surveyed 3,000 Americans asking a number of questions regarding package theft. The age range was between 18-65 with all participants residing in the United States. Over half — 56% — were female, 42% were male, 1% identified as trans or non-binary, and 1% listed “other”.

I doubt a site called casino.org is pulling for a truly random sample. Their methodology disclaimer is lacking critical details. Their questions were likely slanted to increase the desired outcome.
