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 Scoop on Green Poop and Solar Troops: A Correlative Ride Through Bulgaria's Google Searches and Solar Power Generation Christopher Harris, Amelia Tate, George P Truman Abstract In this research paper, we delve into the unexpected intertwining of bathroom habits and renewable energy in Bulgaria. Leveraging data from Google Trends and the Energy Information Administration, our study investigates the potential connections between the peculiar query "why do I have green poop" and the solar power generated in the sunny land of Bulgaria. With a correlation coefficient of -0.9543951 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01 for the time period spanning 2009 to 2021, our findings reveal a surprising inverse relationship between individuals' curiosity about their fecal coloration and the nation's solar energy production. As we unravel this charming correlation, we invite readers to reflect on the curious twists and turns of human behavior and renewable resources, and perhaps even ponder the enchanting potential for "green" energy to inspire "green" queries in the digital sphere. So, join us on this whimsical journey through the poppy fields of data analysis, and let's illuminate the quirky connections that lie beneath the sun and the search bar.
- Introduction The confluence of human curiosity and renewable energy sources has long been a subject of fascination. In this paper, we embark on a journey that may initially seem whimsical, but in fact, holds intriguing insights into the interconnectedness of human behavior and environmental phenomena. Our exploration takes us to the hallowed land of Bulgaria, where the interplay between Google searches for "why do I have green poop" and solar power generation has emerged as an unexpected focal point of analysis. The allure of solar energy, with its promise of sustainability and eco-friendliness, stands in contrast to the seemingly mundane queries about fecal hues. Yet, as we dig deeper into the data, we uncover a correlation that offers a unique perspective on the symbiotic relationship between human inquisitiveness and the harnessing of renewable resources. While some may initially raise an eyebrow at the intersection of gastrointestinal concerns and solar technology, our findings beckon us to reconsider the boundaries of seemingly disparate realms. By examining the statistical relationship between these seemingly incongruous variables, we aim to shed light on the captivating complexity of human behavior and its potential intersection with ecological pursuits.

Venturing beyond the traditional confines of empirical research, our exploratory endeavor draws inspiration from a collection of literature that extends beyond the realm of rigorous quantitative analysis. "Data and Doughnuts: A Comprehensive Guide to Statistical Snacking" by Lorem and Ipsum (2017) piqued our interest with its unconventional take on statistical analysis, infusing humor into the often austere world of number- crunching. While it may seem unrelated to our investigation, the lighthearted perspective presented in this book serves as a reminder of the joy that can be found amidst data-driven inquiries.

AI explanation As Frozen yogurt consumption decreased, people's brains were no longer chilled to the point of committing heinous acts, leading to a decrease in violent crime rates. The lack of fro-yo-induced inner peace and tranquility meant that individuals were too busy mourning the absence of delicious, creamy goodness to engage in acts of aggression. This sparked a nationwide movement of peaceful protests, where instead of fighting, people hugged it out while licking imaginary cones of their favorite fro-yo flavors. It turns out, the real spooning happened as a form of therapy, and the only things getting whipped were toppings on a swirl of non-violence. In the end, the only thing that was iced out was an entire criminal element, as society collectively realized that the true spoonful of justice was the one they didn’t take from the fro-yo shop. https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious/research-papers/5905_chilling-crime-the-frozen-yogurt-factor-in-violent-crime-rates.pdf
