Median and mode are 0. Mean is at 2.
A great way to teach averages.

My favourite way to teach how averages aren't always the perfect metric is:
Most people have higher than the average number of arms.
My favorite is averaging testicles and including both sexes.
The average person has less than one testicle
Is that true? The sex ratio I generally see quoted is 101:100 or 102:100 male:female. Unless more than that number of men are missing testicles.
For various reasons, yes, many are missing one or more testicles
I'd say testicular cancer and castration, voluntary or not, account for many of that number

"Yeah, mutants"
I know of these operations and have used them
But man, this really does highlight the diffs
You know, if you do a curve fit on that data, you'll see that US Presidents have become more criminal over time.

Where is Joe Biden hiding all those bodies?
According to all the right-wingers...Joe Biden has masterminded the murder and coverups of thousands of murder while simultaneously being the most incompetent senile sitting president in history...while Hunter Biden has all the details documented on his laptop...
When my wife's old laptop bit the dust, she jokingly said I should blank the hard drive put it on ebay as "hunter bidens laptop" and start the bidding at what we originally paid for the laptop.
I really thought about it but figured it would just cause trouble for us.
Should've just gone with "NOT Hunter Bidens Laptop"
"Definitely not Hunter Biden's Laptop"
Description: This 2021 Dell XPS 13 was definitely not owned by Hunter Biden and we do not know why you would think that. It features a 13.4" screen, which Hunter Biden most certainly did not use to look at child pornography, a 4.1 GhZ Intel Core i3-1115G4 with integrated GPU, which did not process video calls between Hunter and Joe Biden where Hunter used his connections with Joe as leverage in Burisma, 8GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz memory, which was not used to cache videos Hunter took of himself naked as he recorded them, and a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD which ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT contain any compromising material about either Hunter or Joe Biden which would end the Biden presidency and tank any chances of re-election.
Price: $650
Just post it as "laptop from hell" and refuse to elaborate. Some Qnut will definitely buy it
In the basement of a certain pizza place in DC.
No one would ever think to check it twice.
tbf accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt, so I feel like Nixon should at least have a little bit of a bar there.
He was sadly never charged.
If you weren't charged, but make a legally binding admission of guilt, have you committed a felony?
I feel like this is like, something they teach in some extra credit course at law school lmao
It says "charged," not "committed." Every president has probably committed felonies.
Ah, you're right, it does say 'charged'.
I don't know, I'm not sure William Henry Harrison had time to commit any felonies while president.
I can't even fathom how many Andrew Jackson must have ranked up.

Why take a screenshot? Why not link to the Mastodon post and let it inline render. Or does Lemmy not do inline rendering of links from Mastodon like Firefish does?
That’s a big miss / needed feature if so. Last thing we need is more taking screenshots and reposting across the internet. Fediverse is perfectly positioned to do better than that.
I guess Obama was indicted for the tan suit and dijon mustard incidents
Terrorist fist jab?!?
I forgot all about that 🤭
Felonies Georg is adn outlier and should not have been counted
The point is that the loser has so many charges that the average across 46 presidents, 45 of whom have zero, is now 2.
That probably also says something about the lack of accountability for US presidents because there's definitely a nonzero number of other presidents who have committed felonies.
fyi the comment you're replying to is a reference to Spiders Georg
Oh shit, it's been so long since I heard that, it passed completely over my head.
Wat
~~Covfefe?~~
~~But seriously you've had a stroke get that shit checked out. ~~
TIL about a tumblr meme

Remember this when our hyper-capitalist politicians and CEOs crow about what a "wealthy nation" we are despite this:

We look wealthy statistically because of this: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/18/the-wealthiest-10percent-of-americans-own-a-record-89percent-of-all-us-stocks.html
We're just a gold plated cesspool of greed, exploitation, and greed worship.

I wonder what the average would be if they were charged with the crimes they actually did order done?
