I thought at first the point was that murders had gone down because they were suddenly technically legal. The inverted scale thing is worse

Fucking lol. I can’t believe that shit’s real and from Reuters of all places.
I couldn’t find the graph on an original Reuters article (they must have gotten embarrassed and pulled it down lmao), but Business Insider still has it on their version of the article
(edit: and this is just time vs murders, not time vs gun deaths, a better statistic for this)

I think the idea behind the graph was to make it look like blood flowing, but the execution was… not the best

Would still make more sense if it was reversed lol
that can’t be real… why would gun deaths go down after such a law is passed? I don’t understand the world…
Edit: Oh I read the other comments. Yeah that scale is stupid.

Funny how beating a defenseless creature to death with a hammer was just seen as another everyday activity for your typical Saint.

History Trivia: No one outside Germany knows that “Churchill-quote” because it was made up by Nazi propaganda.

After a quick search I found lots of pages that attributed it to Churchill or Goebbels but apparently there is actually no record of one of them saying it.

If you torture the data long enough, hey look at how low I got my p-value.

“Yes, the pronounced hammer coefficients as evidenced by these repeated indentations in the flattened curve…”
May I add this classic?

Cull the outliers… Not low enough
Transform the data… Not low enough
Normalise the data… Not low enough
Alter the model by adding random effects… Not low enough.
