While true, the people who didn't confuse them also ended up dying.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the joke, man :)

EVERY SINGLE PERSON ~~WHO CONFUSES CORRELATION AND CAUSATION~~ ENDS UP DYING

[-] MyFairJulia@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

And nobody is doing anything about DHMO to put an end to this!

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol 8 points 10 months ago

So if I never get them mixed up, I'll live forever?!

[-] NewDark@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Sounds like you just mixed them up. RIP

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Nah man, I just told you. I'll live forever, therefore, I didn't mix them up. NORIP

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

All of the people that will live forever affirm the consequent.

Everyone who injests dihydrogen monoxide ends up dying as well. Be careful out there, the more you know...

[-] Lath@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

I'm confused. Is this correlation or causation?

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

First one, then the other

[-] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Correlation. Causation would be if confusing the two were literally killing them.

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

It's clearly confounding variables

[-] Sylver@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I thought this was a threat or policy proposition at first

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

We're all going to die!

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

only as far as we know

[-] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago
