Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

They only live in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, so there's a 33.3% chance of it being in Montana.

No, it's 50%. They either live in Montana or not.

By that logic, every person has a 50% chance of living in Antarctica. Either they live there, or they don't. Hell, every sports team has a 50% chance of winning a championship. Either they win one, or they don't. Every person has a 50% chance of becoming president of North Korea too.

I could go on, but I'm already bored.

Of course you got bored, rattling off statistical facts like that

Idk about of course, I wouldve pegged it at about a 50/50

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Rattling off complex statistics like that is my life.

Every one of your examples are correct.

Sigh. It was obviously a joke.
