    smoking withdrawal and not letting the expletives flow together with therapy mandated to deflect social responsibility for your problems increases the frequency of those flying off the handle. Vidya game complexity increases from pong could be a factor too. :P

    I believe the correct answer to OPs question is "an object lesson in the difference between correlation and causality.

    Or proof he doesn’t understand that difference, whichever applies.

    Even though you could argue the graphs are right, that still does not mean the variables are related in some way.

      Yep. The image is fake, but the graph by itself is an excellent example that correlation does not equal causation.

    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.

    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.

    Fuck you OP. I hope someone plasters YOUR shitty blurred face all over the internet and tries to tie YOU to being a racist, elitist, piece of shit.

      The only thing I can say is that I didn’t think through what I was doing. That’s not an excuse though.

      As soon as I came back here and say your comment something in my head snapped and what you were saying made complete sense. I immediately erased it and will make every attempt to think through posts that may be problematic in the future before I post them.

      Totally my fault.

      :(

        The image was an obvious fake and this is shitpost community. It wasn’t that bad. It wasn’t very funny but it also wasn’t inappropriate.

        I don’t know that it’s AI, but the graph is obviously drawn over the picture. I think the original was just making of the professor for wearing a t-shirt over a flannel shirt

              The biggest giveaways are the weirdly pixelated faces (used to hide obvious AI elements) the awkward pose, the way the plaid pattern on the left side (his right arm, just before the white sleeve) merges together, the lack of any other version of this image existing (which is common for photo shopped images) and that when this is run through AI detection software it is flagged as such.

                I’m pretty sure this image is not AI because of the background composition. While I agree the pattern on the right arm looks a little weird, that alone doesn’t proof it’s AI. It could be edited using AI but might just be photoshopped. Also you shouldn’t trust AI detection software, it doesn’t work.
