Wee need to rescuee !CrappyCorrelations@lemm.ee from thee shutdown of its instancee!
I can put it on Mander if others want to hop on the mod team. @Crumbgrabber@lemm.ee ?
Coincidence. They just wait long enough until the previous war is out of the people's minds, or enough young people weren't even alive when it happened to do it again. And again. And again.
The politicians running the show and most of their voters are old enough to remember. Young people play less and less of a role in western politics.

it's not
How does this correlate with AC usage and oil prices
Haha, I like this one.
I've unironically come around to think that people worshipping the sun were not wrong
The sun's pretty awesome
It may as well be our God. Sun dies out ? No chance of life.
I've dabbled enough in paganism to confirm that worshiping nature and the sun is a hell of a lot more meaningful than making up shit about God and wearing special hats. Sure, we know what nature and the sun is, but it doesn't make it any less spectacular, or any less of a genuine creator before our very eyes.
Sun hat
Why not worship nature and wear special hats? Most of the witches I know do both.
I've said this for a few years as well. At least the sun is real. It provides life, it doesn't even kill very many people, definitely doesn't condemn anyone to an eternity of suffering.
I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, and a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to 'God' are all answered at about the same 50% rate.

The Sun god demands more sacrifices

So all this time it was the suns fault, sending its war inducing sneezes at us
Chemtrails but it's the sun
I wonder if the old spurious correlations website is still around
It is, unfortunately it seems to be full of AI bullshit now.
I did find that site last night, but assumed it was not the original. Now, actually at a PC, I see this:
If you are thinking, "I've seen charts like these before," you probably have and they were probably mine! The original version of spurious correlations was published on the web in 2014, and in book form in 2015. I am that same guy. These charts are also frequently used in class materials, textbooks, and elsewhere because they are not copywritten.
In January 2024, I released a big update to the project based on user feedback. I added 25,000 new variables, improved and expanded the discover feature, and added a sprinkle of GenAI (including spurious scholar). Thank you to all the teachers, students, and other nerds who provided input on this version!
Disappointing.

I'd buy you a beer for this one.
