So what you are saying is the more cats I get the richer I will be?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 35 points 1 month ago

Yes that's exactly how causation and correlation work, go for it!

You don't have to convince me, I was already sold.

But I'll get cat hair on my programmer socks!

But I still have lots of cats, right?

Scientists have discovered that having more cats reduces the risk of heart attacks and increases wealth with no upper limit*

Correlation and Causation are just fancy-pantsy words used by experts to lie to us common folk!

No but cats are correlated with wealth, I’m not implying any sort of causation, unlike the post lol.
