I'll admit that I didn't run a statistical analysis to determine standard deviations and P values to conclusively say that there is linear correlation. I just kinda made that assumption based on the similarity of the data curves that are presented and that, you know, the graph is literally titled " Divorce Rates in Maine Correlates with Margarine Consumption per Capita."

Then I made an innocent little comment about how correlation doesn't always equal causation and for some reason you're coming after me as if that insulted you somehow. Meanwhile you're not even disagreeing with me. You just don't think I did my homework adequately??

So, instead, you're gonna show up to call me "an ass" because I didn't check "margin usage" to determine distinctions on a relationship between divorce and margarine usage? On a joking/nonserious post in a maine subreddit? Are you fucking kidding me dude?? Who hurt you and made you like this?
