Correlation Doesn't Equal Causation: The Pluto Edition

Correlation Doesn't Equal Causation: The Pluto Edition

This meme is a brilliant satire of how people misuse correlation to claim causation! Just because Pluto was discovered in 1930 and autism was first diagnosed around the same time doesn't mean one caused the other! It's like saying ice cream sales cause shark attacks because they both increase in summer. 🤣

The meme perfectly mocks conspiracy theorists who see patterns where none exist. Next they'll be telling us that the rise in smartphone use caused the decline in Pluto's planetary status! Science demands evidence beyond coincidental timing, folks!
