Not Yet Creatively Titled

Heres the thing you gotta understand about statistics. 

“Increases your chances by 80%” does not mean “there is now an 80% chance”. 

If your chances were previously 10%, your chances are now 18%, not 90%. 

if your chances were roughly 1%, they’re now just slightly less than 2%. 

thats how that works. 

[hopeful-weirdo]

Wow I don’t understand math at all

[freinhardt56]

‘if you have a baby after 35, the chance of deformities goes up by 100%’ is a line I hear alot.

It goes up from .5% to 1%

[fandomlockedfan]

I think my brain just stopped working

[authorgirl1111]

100% is just another way of saying twice more likely. So 100% more basically means multiply the number you do have by 2.

[that-catholic-shinobi]

Imagine how many woman are scared to have kids because of that statistic

[what-even-is-thiss]

This is why I took stats instead of calc. Because I don’t build engineer bridges in my everyday life but I sure do read studies that affect how I might live my life if I misinterpret them.

[theradicalace]

i think everyone should take some sort of statistics class at least once in their life. because there are a lot of ways to lie with statistics, even when the numbers themselves are factually accurate. learn how people can twist statistics to suit their agenda, and youll be a lot better off.

The child of a Mermaid and a Centaur has a 1 in four chance of being a normal human.

and a 1 in 4 chance of being a seahorse

I’m glad we remember our Punnett squares.

[lightbenderlin]

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever made

[marcherarrant]

I was exploring in the catacombs and found a ladder going up. I climbed it and found a square door. I pushed open the door and found myself inside a university lecture room at 3 in the morning.

And you chose to censor your face in the worst way imaginable

[4444555666777888999]

Um no offense but why doesn’t anyone memorize passages from books and then recite them aloud for everyone at parties anymore.

[mynameismeowmeow]

We memorize vines, the office, and John mulaney segments instead, war has changes but humanity has not

[figuerockfaeth]

the BEST part of mamma mia (2008) one of the greatest movies ever made:

the (purposeful?) lack of effort put into the flashbacks, just straight up putting a wig on 47 year old colin firth, 55 year old pierce brosnan, and 56 year old stellan skarsgard and saying they’re all like 20 (TWENTY) is a level of iconic very few movies possess

where is that renaissance painting with those two fellers and a giant fucking random skull on the floor that looks like it was accidentally stretched out in photoshop

[officialdamonalbarn]

THANK YOU

[hickeywiththegoodhair]

somebody please explain

[dykemisspiggy]

Someone once told me it’s like that because it was designed to be hung in a stairwell so the skull pops out as you walk past.

[iwilltrytobereasonable]

…I guess it works but you have to be at a pretty sharp angle

[caecilius-est-pater]

There was a whole trend at one point where artists would include something in their paintings (usually a skull, for whatever reason) that’s super distorted in just the right way so that it looks normal if you hold the painting up to a convex/concave mirror. I have absolutely no idea why. But I think that’s what’s going on here.

[crtter]

In case anyone’s curious, here’s what it looks like when you walk past it irl:

It does have a 3D effect to it! It’s pretty neat, guess it would be even more impressive to people from the 14th century.

Schools: don’t teach those skills anymore

Stuff: is made to not be repairable

Tools & Materials: are priced as a luxury

Working Hours: have expanded to take up a lot of people’s whole day and weekends

Wages: have stagnated so that everyone has to work full time

“News” media: Your dad is better at DIY than you, ya dick!

[redfeathered]

lets not forget:

Your parents: have never actually taught you any of those things either

[donnasweettttttttt]

when people are like “the hunger games just stole the plot of battle royale” like listen everything steals from the plot of everything the lion king is just furry hamlet westworld is jurassic park but sexier lost is edgy gilligan’s island there are no original stories and the only good piece of media is jennifer’s body

[perrisbueller-deactivated202002]

Michael crichton wrote westworld and jurassic park tho so he just pirated himself

[donnasweettttttttt]

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: capitalism gives pharmaceutical companies more incentives to fail at their jobs than to succeed, because the more human suffering exists, the profit they can wring out of us. 

[swolerbear]

This should absolutely be enough evidence to showcase the evils of capitalism, but propaganda is so strong that somehow it isn’t.

Once again its 3am and this washing machine wizard haunts me

[novis-canis-deactivated20200504]

[Audio ID]

*washing machine beating noises come from behind the door at a steady rhythm*

*door creaks slightly as its opened*

Cowboy Wizard, in a sing songy country tune: "wellllllll you get out the fiddle and you get out the bow, ya kick off yer shoes and ya throw em on the floor. Ya dancin' in the kitchen till the mornin' lightttt~ till the lousi-"

(audio cuts out before he can finish the word lousiana)

[anakinkshamer]

“The barbie franchise enforces gender stereotypes”

Ken is literally a trophy husband to a successful rich beautiful business woman but okay go off I guess

[anakinkshamer]

makin this come back around again bc happy birthday barbie u intelligent gorgeous woman

[spookyfbi]

I saw a documentary on barbie once and it said that in the 50s or 60s when barbie was first made the parents were concerned because she was teaching their daughters that they could have careers instead of just being wives and mothers because she was the first doll that wasn’t a baby doll

[urparty]

Does anybody else like, revert back to the books/tv/movies u loved as a child whenever things in your life are about to change
