My gf picked an orange off a tree in italy and we ate it. A week later I installed linux as my main os.

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.

I'm not saying I don't believe you but you didn't tell us which Linux.
GNU
I had no idea RMS was on Lemmy. Borrow any good Internet connections lately?
I get that it's kinda ~~funny~~ quirky, but honestly, free software (and also other forms of open source software) wouldn't exist in the form they do today without his contributions to GNU and the GPL.
I'm not going to make fun of someone for staying true to their principles.
His contributions are immeasurable and worthy of legend. He is also a very strange bird and that can't be swept aside.
Strange is right! I once attended a seminar he gave. He stopped in the middle, and refused to proceed, until he was provided with Diet Coke. Truly strange.
Arch, btw
Definitely not Arch, then.
I mean their name is endeavour so it's mostly Arch I think
Whichever one sounds funniest in a cartoon Italian accent
Unfortunately, I don't think Hannah Montana Linux is updated anymore.
I hope she finds love on her Netflix show
Actually, by that graph, I think autism may cause organic food.
No wait, hear them out
how do we know that autism doesn't cause organic food sales?
It would mean an autistic person would pay 50k usd for organic food per year on average
137 USD per day on food‽ Organic food is not the same as overpriced "organic" lifestyle food.
Now, do gluten!
if you scroll the data left, before the invention of pesticides, do the lines suddenly spike up???
Ate an organic carrot once. Now I moderate an autism sub. Organic vegetables, not even once.
Such a classic.
Hilarious, but I wonder what it would look like correlated with "better access to information."
Seems like better access to information could drive both food decisions and likeliness to seek medical diagnosis.
Edit: This one chart could be driving all good and bad decisions. Now I want to see a reverse correlationb of this chat with likeliness to watch "Avatar: The Last Air Bender (The Movie)"...
