I think it’s more correlated with your spouse fucking other people. But maybe that’s just me.

why does margarine make them do that?

🎞 Last Tango in Paris: “Go get the butter”

I can't believe it's not husband

Nice.

This is what big margarine has always wanted.

It's country crock. Fills you with uncontrolled lust.

Country Crock for when you want that Country Cock

Who the hell still eats margarine? I was raised on that shit and will never put that garbage in my body now.

We only eat butter and we are poor. We will sell plasma to eat butter over margarine. Been married 12-13 years now.

Everyone knows you can use margarine to get people to break up

Used margarine for many years. After divorce went strictly butter. Hmmm.

r/dataisbeautiful is leaking.

The actress in that anal rape scene was essentially raped. The scene was non-consensual and she has had years of trauma from it.

Not really a great thing to joke about.

What is this weird food you call "margarine"? Butter has only graced our family.

Did anyone calculate the margarine of error ?

For the old people: “Nobody fools Mother Nature!”

A beautiful example of how correlation does not equal causation.

Ugh... Go ahead and take your upvote. But I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

Got me good

We always had margarine growing up, but we still called it butter. My grandma would get "real butter" for Christmas dinner. Now I only buy butter, but I cant help but refer to it as "real butter"

I’ll show myself out 🥸

I believe this was the original source:

Correct. His website is in listed in the image.

Crap. Just read about that. Wtf?

Farmer Brown sends you his thanks.

Bossie only says thanks at milking time.

Christie Brinkley has been fooling her for a long time now.

The introduction of hydrogenated oils did not lower the incidence of heart disease (as ‘Promised’) - but rather exacerbated the problem. Use real butter, just not a shit-ton on everything you eat

That’s just what Big Margarine wants you to think

Anything is better than that nasty ass butter that's made with breastmilk from a different species 🤢🤮

Margarine was invented to fatten up domestic poultry, when the substance instead killed said poultry, the companies and scientists that had spent millions developing it figured ; What the hell, we’ll sell it for human consumption. You can literally feel it clogging your arteries.

Are you saying that butter made from cow breastmilk is healthy?🤣🤣🤣 are you really that fucking stupid??

Where did l say it was healthy? It has to be healthier that hydrogenated vegetable oil that has been proven to be artery clogging garbage. No processed fats are good for the human body. I’d love to compare brain pans with you but since you’re all out there claiming people are stupid, you’re not worth my time.

Oh no😢 I'm not worthy of your time🤷‍♂️ but here you are saying that butter made with cowbreast milk doesn't clog arteries ? Please, go be stupid somewhere else. Not trying to debate a fucking moron like you.

I also eat plant based and agree with you to not consume another species milk <that has nature's intended purpose of turning a calf into a cow>. Got divorced before being vegan (while eating butter). Haven't gotten married again so can't fully add to these statistics. However my situation goes against correlation. The data and some comments here are funny though! And isn't that what's it's all about sometimes? Lol.

Hahaha I remember when this was posted around this time a few years ago

LOL I love examples of correlation does not always equal causation.

Big Margarine 😂😂. That’s awesome.

That is a beautiful example of someone making an assessment without investigating the data fully. You ass

The economy too. When economy is bad couples stay together.

Soy oil is actually one of the biggest corporate products in the world

I'm sorry, maybe I'm missing something here. So I'm going to ignore your insult for a moment and see if I can understand.

Are you suggesting that this data, which you have "investigated fully" shows that margarine consumption causes divorce?

Another faulty conclusion from you.

I am just saying that by looking at this graph, you have no way to tell if they are correlated or not. We would need to see margin usage by relationship to make that distinction.

This is part of a series, "Spurious correlations," which shows absurd examples of statistical correlation that clearly lack any causal link.

Why you calling folks asses?

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?

On further review, I think he just doesn't understand what "correlated" means. I kinda feel bad now.

There's certainly an ass here, but it's not who you think it is

You can do butter than that!

Is this a great example of correlation vs causation.

Cows don't have breasts, they have an udder and teats.

Ah you are right , mistyped corralled. I meant to say, you can't conclude there's no causation relationship just from the graph.

Which is exactly what i said in my post when you called me an ass. The words you're looking for are:

"I'm sorry."

No, you CAN'T conclude it!
