This Is Still Technically A Random Variable
The perfect statistical pun doesn't exi— Oh wait, here it is! The meme brilliantly plays on the double meaning of "normal" - showing a mother screaming at her child to "be normal" while contrasting a standard normal distribution (that beautiful bell curve statisticians dream about) with a degenerate distribution (which is basically a single spike saying "I refuse to follow your rules"). Statisticians everywhere are silently chuckling because technically, that rebellious degenerate distribution is still a random variable - just one that decided to concentrate all its probability at a single point. It's basically the statistical equivalent of a teenager who refuses to conform to society's expectations. The distribution might be degenerate, but that humor is definitely not!
