I swear the Spiders Georg meme was the best possible way to get a whole bunch of people to remember how statistical outliers work.

Why, Steve? Why??
anononanonanona
The spider statistic was 100% fabricated in an effort to demonstrate the propagation of misinformation online.

So stop trying to think so hard about it. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/swallow-spiders/

I only understand this because I had to take statistics and analytics this semester.

The spider myth was made up in 1993 as an example of how quickly a made-up statistic can travel through the internet. For real, source below

I read this while waiting for my stats class to start, perfect serendipity

You didn't just 'knock this together.' you tried hard. And it shows because it's really good. Be proud and don't play down your skills :)

Much like the Oatmeal

That's who it reminds me of, good stuff bought the book with the bears on the cover years back still enjoy it

That's hilarious and frightening at the same time. Front page, here we go!

There are ~2.2 popes per square mile within Vatican City. This is because Vatican City is less than .5 square miles in area. Statistics!

Thanks to pregnancies, the average number of skeletons in the human body is greater than 1

The average human has one testicle and one ovary.

It's why medians and Standard Devations are good to know.
TvoroyrarButtFella
And why you discard outliers
ali4z
I like the one where you take the average after culling top and bottom 10%
SentientSpork
There's actually a whole lot of variations on that same idea. I spent last week looking at more than I wanted to know existed, for work.
BigFatFailureTurtle
Interdecile average? I like the sound of it.
Ucrazizit
I hate to think of extreme outliers of ppl eating mouthfuls of spiders in their sleep

Just crunched some numbers, spiders Georg would actually have to eat 57.6 million spiders a day

OK, that is very good...and funny! Your strip went in an entirely different direction than what I was expecting. Nice work, OP!

Steve: to hell with your bell curve, eat more spiders

This misunderstanding of averages fueled the plot of a silly isekai anime that I would never admit to liking

If you don't mind I'll be sharing this on Farcebook...
CraftyGiant
It's Cambodia.. They have a whole fried tarantula season.
NotTinyPancakes
can we exclude them from our stats?
HenryLongfellowIII
Do they eat them in their sleep though?
jejorda2
Nobody eats spiders in their sleep. It came from a list of factoids written to show people will repeat anything they read, however dumb.

That's what they want you to think.
DrasticBastard
That’s why I want the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation.
Imalwaysready
What about mean deviation, the median deviation, and the mode deviations?
Inmate45
And sample size. I don't want to hear about your goddamn toothpaste study on 19 people.
girlyBIRB
Or your ivermectin study on 10.
orchidaedra
At Walmart an idiot tried to get me in trouble by printing my average checkout speed for like 5 customers and I just said no not happening
orchidaedra
Thats not how checkout average works- you go total my time for the whole week then we can talk- but he quit soon after that :P
EccentricNut
The average number of arms that all people have is less than 2. So if you have 2 arms, you have an above average number of arms for a human
mieper3
But what about John the serial killer who keeps the arms of his victems on his wall?
Garett
It’s fun to make fun statistics
johnhatten2
So most people have an above aversge number of arms
DrArsMoriendi
I have two arms, but three legs ?
jamiesmeatyskinsock
Walking stick ?
theresalwaysmoneyinthebananastand11
Also the average number of balls someone has is around 1
Totalwombat
How about average gonads?
dasklaus
Fun fact: the number of arms has very low heritability, because little of the variance can be explained by genetics (instead: accidents).
imredheaded
I have a greater than average penis! Success!
danishjuggler21
Do the people that have those little nubby hands still count as two-armed?

Does a healthy woman pregnant with healthy twins have two or six?
Omnisom
Definitely six, it is made of her cells and energy and is inside her organ. If you eat a chicken, you still have two legs for example.
DeadHamster
Yes
backrideup9
How many horsepower does she have?
GoldenSun3DS
No, because those aren't her limbs. The babies with their own limbs are just renting her space.
LurkerOfDarkness
Shitty renters, I guess that's why they all end up being evicted....
ElecTech
Because of pregnant women the average number of skeletons inside a person is always greater than 1.
Blank1612
Yeeeah... Because of pregnant women, definitely...

CaptainSpoonbeard
Hm, no I don't like this. Nope.
bananabelly
Definitely do not look at a reconstruction of a toddler skull. The number of teeth is nightmare fuel
dwilson0725
Yeah, but they aren't full skeletons either, so we are talking decimals here.
LordNergal
I remember reading something about twins and triplets causing the average number of skeletons to be higher than 2, but can't find it.
Totalwombat
Even if every female was pregnant the average would be 1.5. No way enough are pregnant right now with twins to make it higher than 2
LordNergal
Don't forget to account for triplets, quadruplets, and so on. Humans can have up to 8 children per pregnancy.
WeAreAllStoriesInTheEnd
When my husband and I have sex, I have an above average number of bones in my body ?
alfindel
That's true if your husband is a gorilla.
Flexanium
Yeah but no though
polarpurple
Fingers?
lronMaiden
Humans do not have penis bone? What exactly is your husband?
unumgenuselectum
But they have a bone -err?
