Can we teach people that averages are almost never what you care about and instead we should always report on and look at full distributions, but through memes?
Maybe I need Squidward memes
Are you a zork fan?
Think part of the issue is the casual use of the word “average” really means “what I normally experience on a given day”. So in casual conversation it is talking about something akin to the middle of a distribution curve. It gets lost in translation due to the same word being used in two different ways
I think average just means “normative” to most people.
Thanks. Luckily I just eat 3 spiders a day
This reads like “task failed successfully”
I found out about both Henry Kissinger’s and Toby Keith’s deaths through memes. I don’t think memes Georg should be a statistical anomaly.
Learning about Henry Kissinger via a meme is surprising to say the least.
Also wtf Toby Keith died?
