While true, the people who didn’t confuse them also ended up dying.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the joke, man :)
EVERY SINGLE PERSON
WHO CONFUSES CORRELATION AND CAUSATIONENDS UP DYINGAnd nobody is doing anything about DHMO to put an end to this!
So if I never get them mixed up, I’ll live forever?!
Sounds like you just mixed them up. RIP
Nah man, I just told you. I’ll live forever, therefore, I didn’t mix them up. NORIP
All of the people that will live forever affirm the consequent.
A weird thing I’ve noticed about “correlation does not equal causation” is that some people actually end up thinking it means “correlation does equal not causation” - i.e. if A and B are correlated then A does not cause B (and B does not cause A). A more accurate expression would be “correlation does not necessarily equal causation”.
Everyone who injests dihydrogen monoxide ends up dying as well. Be careful out there, the more you know…
I’m confused. Is this correlation or causation?
First one, then the other
Correlation. Causation would be if confusing the two were literally killing them.
It’s clearly confounding variables
We’re all going to die!
I thought this was a threat or policy proposition at first
only as far as we know
Woooooosh
