Did anyone calculate the margarine of error ?

You can do butter than that!

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

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

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

A beautiful example of how correlation does not equal causation.

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

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?

TarantinoFan23 t1_ixzdn34 wrote

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.

bramblebog t1_ixzg1zm wrote

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?

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

TarantinoFan23 t1_iy1fbnt wrote

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

Invisible00101001 t1_iy1vbnk wrote

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."

Invisible00101001 t1_ixzi4fd wrote

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?

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

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"

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.

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

RisinSon t1_ixywxt2 wrote

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.

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??

Mjolnir36 t1_ixywafl wrote

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.
