Irrefutable proof that the nukes caused hentai.
Cool comic, doesn’t apply here.
It’s still relevant for England at least, there is a pretty close and probably casual relationship between population density and Brexit voting. Rural areas tended to vote Brexit, cities didn’t.
Ah yes, the urban hotspots of…Scotland?
relevant for ENGLAND at least
Scotland has an additional effect of density of increased common sense
Not being English does that to you
and skagheads that live in a bus stop. it’s like a bell curve
Relevant for England but not Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
A good metaphor for Brexit I guess.
Cowelation does not imply causation
„Cowelation does not imply cowsation.“ Was right there! Still great! 🤣
Moo point, udder nonsense.
its all just moo https://youtu.be/62necDwQb5E
the cows voted
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease were my obsession a few years ago. prion diseases are a scary scary thing
its just spicy origami

Fatal familial insomnia keeps me up at night.
Now this is the kind of ambiguity I need more of
What really gets me is that not even ordinary autoclaving can destroy the CJD prions. Those things are fucking terrifying. Look at sterilization recommendations for surgical instruments that have been exposed to them. The first recommendation is “destroy them.” The second is, “if you simply must reuse them, boil them in lye in an autoclave for an hour.” And even then we’re not really sure if this is effective at sterilizing contaminated instruments; the recommendations are based more on lab studies, studies in Petri dishes basically. They’re largely not based on actual studies on contaminated surgical implements.
There is also a correlation between lead paint and serial killers in America in the 60s and 70s as well as leaded gasoline.
Lead indeed caused violent crime as it influences our nervous system and thus our behavior. It is a widely accepted hypothesis by now.

There’s an additional hypothesis that a lot of the violence in the 60s and 70s was also driven by people who grew up in broken homes with unhappy marriages that couldn’t be ended
I’ve also seen theories about the effects of untreated PTSD on the children of WWII vets.
mis-steaks were made
Please tell me it is real…
It’s simply a correlation with population density. More rural areas tend to vote more conservative.
Not it isn’t. If it was london would be black and you’d see black dots for Ediburgh and Glasgow
The plot is an inverse of population density: rural areas have more exposure to cows, cities do not.
Still isn’t, otherwise the whole of scotland would be black since thats by far the most rural bit of the UK.
Given the clear line at the Scottish border I would say that data is missing for Scotland
I don’t think so, Ireland is completely missing and NI is grey, like Scotland is
The grey is labeled BSE-free areas, though there’s enough jpeg in there to squint and make it say whatever.
This has always read to me as “when you’re around a bunch of different people you realize how the same we are”
Eidunno. Curious what others think of that. It is very true, the rural and the conservatism.
I think that’s one of the big reasons conservatives hate college. When young people interact with people of different socioeconomic backgrounds, religious beliefs, etc, they realize that those people aren’t the two dimensional boogeymen that they’ve been made out to be. They begin to realize that blind hatred is the problem, not diversity.
Scotland is mostly rural, is it not?
People are mindless idiots.
Cow farmers are sheep.
Then who raises the sheep?
Even if it wasn’t a population density correlation, there are lots of totally unrelated correlations.
Someone made a fun website with them!
Hold on now, this one might not be so spurious…
That site lost me when they started stuffing utterly unecessary AI generated art in there. Honestly, what the utter fuck.
the site is really cool, im jus rlli confused bout why they put generated images.-.- like - after each element -.-,.,.
thank u for sharin tho!
It is not real. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mad-cow-versus-brexit/
nah unfortunately not from the looks of things, there’s some places which definitely had mad cow disease that aren’t coloured, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual map is still very correlated
Amazing how BSE knew and respected the modern border between England and Scotland perfectly.
