Coincidence. They just wait long enough until the previous war is out of the people’s minds, or enough young people weren’t even alive when it happened to do it again. And again. And again.

The politicians running the show and most of their voters are old enough to remember. Young people play less and less of a role in western politics.

Coincidence? Like the increase in global warming relative to the decrease in the number or pirates globally? I think not.

[. . .] there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join

Damn, that sucks. Good luck to the admins of lemm.ee on their future endeavors.

I wonder if the old spurious correlations website is still around

KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world on 22 Jun 12:45 next collapse

It is, unfortunately it seems to be full of AI bullshit now.

I am not as critical of Ai as many here are, but this is the slopiest AI slop that I have seen in a long time.

It seems intentional lol

tiredofsametab@fedia.io on 22 Jun 22:05 collapse

I did find that site last night, but assumed it was not the original. Now, actually at a PC, I see this:

If you are thinking, "I've seen charts like these before," you probably have and they were probably mine! The original version of spurious correlations was published on the web in 2014, and in book form in 2015. I am that same guy. These charts are also frequently used in class materials, textbooks, and elsewhere because they are not copywritten.

In January 2024, I released a big update to the project based on user feedback. I added 25,000 new variables, improved and expanded the discover feature, and added a sprinkle of GenAI (including spurious scholar). Thank you to all the teachers, students, and other nerds who provided input on this version!

Disappointing.

SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca on 22 Jun 17:23 next collapse

I’m wondering if the leftists will actually believe this. They seem to latch onto every other meme that presents geopolitics as some overly simplistic pattern.

I think some on the right believes a major world war happens every 70 years (or something like that) and the pattern totally explains wars for centuries! Well as long you forget WWI and the Napoleonic wars happened…

Also I don’t think “intervention” means what you think it means.

I’ve unironically come around to think that people worshipping the sun were not wrong

The sun’s pretty awesome

It may as well be our God. Sun dies out ? No chance of life.

P00ptart@lemmy.world on 23 Jun 01:17 next collapse

I’ve said this for a few years as well. At least the sun is real. It provides life, it doesn’t even kill very many people, definitely doesn’t condemn anyone to an eternity of suffering.

I don’t know what that is. Is it a movie or video game?

skulblaka@sh.itjust.works on 23 Jun 03:20 next collapse

I’ve begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It’s there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, and a lovely day. There’s no mystery, no one asks for money, I don’t have to dress up, and there’s no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to ‘God’ are all answered at about the same 50% rate.

Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca on 23 Jun 03:36 collapse

I’ve dabbled enough in paganism to confirm that worshiping nature and the sun is a hell of a lot more meaningful than making up shit about God and wearing special hats. Sure, we know what nature and the sun is, but it doesn’t make it any less spectacular, or any less of a genuine creator before our very eyes.

BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org on 23 Jun 11:03 next collapse

Why not worship nature and wear special hats? Most of the witches I know do both.
