The trick is to find a partner while you’re still alive. Screw those single persons!
Everyone who writes on a blackboard ends up dying
Yeah, I only use Post-it notes and I have never died.
AI generated images are getting more impressive.
Pretty sure Timo draws his own cartoons, what makes you believe it’s AI?
If you zoom into the shading and into the professor’s face, you’ll see that the lineart is all wonky.
Is this that cel shading I’ve heard so much about?
I need this on a shirt
Dang, it sucks that death somehow causes misunderstandings of empiricism
Spooky
that’s not even correlation
Agreed, the correlation between 2 random variables is undefined if one of the variables is actually a constant (the formula reduces to 0/0)
Every single person who does not confuse lives forever? Good.
And so does everyone else

I found one study that found that 100% of people who breathe oxygen die, but I found another study that found that 100% of people who don't breathe oxygen die!

Technically not 100%, a modern study has shown that there are 8 billion people who breathe oxygen currently living!

I found a study where they were able to exclude those examples from the data set for various reasons. :P
