Teaching students to not conflate correlation with causation by pointing out absurd assumptions of causality from real correlations.
Clearly he has studied history.
Teacher wore his undershirt on top of his outer shirt. Was it backwards day?
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.
Wait, did you know that there’s a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity?
The last time I played with a Spirograph was early 2020 so that’s my alibi. I’m not guilty of any of this gang activity you speak of.
I can’t debate it
Gonna need to call in the master at debatin.
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
this image is photoshopped. i can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
It’s an older meme, Sir, but it checks out.
A imagem foi feita em photoshop. Posso falar pelos pixels e por que ja vi alguns shops no meu tempo.
Sim, concordo. Me impressiona o quanto a IA consegue economizar tempo na edição de fotos atualmente.
Hey, no wizard languages allowed. You could be casting a spell for all I know!
Hocus Pocus and Ala Kazaam! Musubibreakfast likes to eat ham!
That’s correct. I checked with David Photoshop and he confirmed it.
The amount of photoshops has also dramatically increased since 1970s
Hey, does he know John Reader and Jeff Lightroom?
Ah, a person of culture I see.
shoop da whoop
There is something about his face that doesn’t look natural but I’m not quite sure if it’s Photoshop or AI
They cut his fingers off. It’s definitely AI.
Its resting DOOM face
I see it too but it’s a little bit blurry on the details
Now that’s a meme I’ve not heard on a long time.
It’s an old meme, sir, but it checks out.
This needs a Hide The Pain Harold faceswap.
I bet he thinks ice cream is correlated with the violent crime too
clearly it is, thank you for the heads up
I like the Nic Cage movies and drowning deaths correlation more. Lol
ice crime
Violent crime precedes ice cream consumption. Clearly crime makes people hungry for ice cream.
You scream, I scream?
While I do not disagree with you, we shouldn’t underestimate the consumption of stolen ice cream which increases both.
Not ice crime!
I always violent crime before I ice cream
Due to the cost of icecream these days you may have to do some violent crime to pay for the icecream
That “teacher” has interpretation, extrapolation, and interpolation issues.
its just an AI meme anyways
It’s like people forgot Photoshop exists
That does happen often, but this is an AI image, not photoshop
I’ll bite. How is it AI?
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 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
I lowkey don’t think it looks bad. Clearly I have just as little fashion sense as he does.
Probably trying to make a point that correlation and causation are not always related.
Yep. The image is fake, but the graph by itself is an excellent example that correlation does not equal causation.
110% connected, BTW
How are people not seeing the joke
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.
