Correlation always equates to causation. Everyone know that.

Correlation correlates to causation, but doesn’t cause it.

Nah.

Damn German chancellor Friedrich Merz keep saying we’re living beyond our means. I’m finally realizing what he means, we don’t have enough nobel laureates to justify our chocolate consumption

I had a good day, we all had good days, until you mentioned that unbearable hypocrite.

Does he eat that much chocolate?

lengau@midwest.social on 04 Oct 23:43 next collapse

If he moved out of Germany their per capita chocolate consumption would be right there with Ireland.

Looking at the above chart and the person in question I don’t think so.

Or as my daffy kid calls it, “choglet”. Future Nobel contender, there.

My kids used used to call it chokit. They have since learned to pronounce it correctly, but my wife and I have adopted chokit permanently.

Niece playes Smash. Calls DK “Donkey Donk”. I corrected her for awhile, then I decided her way was really better.

Winning a Nobel prize causes one to consume enormous amounts of chocolate? Is that what the prize money pays for?

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 05 Oct 05:03 next collapse

Affirmative.

atomicorange@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 06:59 collapse

The medal is actually made of chocolate. The rumor is if you steal and eat someone’s nobel prize you absorb their power.

The lesser known, higher educated cousin of the Highlander premise.

per capita wealth: 👋

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 05 Oct 05:08 collapse

See also: spending said wealth on public education.

merc@sh.itjust.works on 05 Oct 18:29 collapse

I think you can combine the two. It’s basically places where anybody capable can easily become a grad student and have enough spending money as a grad student to buy chocolate whenever they want.

(Edit: plus some historical bias since they’ve been giving out Nobel Prizes for more than a century)

Doing my part by eating 100% cocoa solids every week

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 05 Oct 05:08 collapse

Speaking of solids, how’s your poop?

GandalftheBlack@feddit.org on 05 Oct 09:08 collapse

Perfectly healthy, thanks

Splendid!

Greetings from Switzerland! First of all, I’d like to complain that the Swiss flag in the image is incorrect, the correct Swiss flag is a perfect square. Then I can attest that the diagram almost certainly shows the effect of causation.
