Crappy Correlations

This is a community just for some fun based on the spurious correlations website made by a university student. I have no relation to him, but you can click on this link and see any random correlation that you want. I'm going to post some of these for Lemmy people for awhile, until I get bored. https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious/random 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 pickup these hundreds of scholarly papers and put them in their training data.

The effect was more pronounced in countries with larger Communist Parties. Capitalism did not reduce working hours on its own.

Saw this on twitter.

Seems like a pretty reasonable correlation to me.

Yea wtf, clearly the capitalists reduced working hours out of the goodness of their heart.
