Correlated.org interests me. Scrolling down the front page, it&#x27;s fun to try and form connections and explain correlations to yourself (probably wrongly).<p>Here are some of the ones on the front page I was able to think of a possible explanation for (many quite tenuous):<p>&gt; among those who would be willing to observe a prison execution, 68 percent say they tend to stick to their decisions.<p>Sticking to your decisions might be a mark of social conservatism. In which case, being willing to observe someone being executed might correlate.<p>&gt; among those who need corrective lenses to read, 54 percent prefer to play with dominoes as a tile game, rather than by toppling them<p>If it&#x27;s myopia causing them to need glasses, well, myopia is apparently caused by not getting outside enough during childhood (and therefore not getting sufficient sunlight).<p>Perhaps, then, more active people would enjoy toppling dominoes more and have gotten outside more during youth (thus not developing myopia).<p>&gt; among those who say that longevity runs in their family, only 26 percent like skim milk.<p>Maybe skim milk is a more recent thing, and people whose longevity &#x27;runs in the family&#x27; would be more traditional? I&#x27;m really grasping at straws here.<p>&gt; among those who use anti-dandruff shampoo, 54 percent say they are good Frisbee throwers.<p>Apparently dandruff can be caused by greasy skin (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dandruff#Causes" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dandruff#Causes</a>) - is this more likely in more active people(?)<p>&gt; among those who have recently done something dangerous enough that they had to sign a waiver, 73 percent find Irish accents to be especially attractive<p>I had two thoughts on this one:<p>1) Are people more likely to need to sign a waiver in certain countries? In which case, this might be a cultural thing.<p>2) People who&#x27;ve done dangerous things might be rather adventurous, and think Irish accents somehow symbolise that(??)<p>&gt; among those who like the taste of honeysuckle nectar, 61 percent say their favorite kind of doughnut doesn&#x27;t have a hole in it<p>Is honeysuckle nectar a sweet, fructosey thing? Well, doughnuts without holes often contain fruit jam. So someone who likes sweet, fruity things would be more likely to like both?<p>&gt; among those who don&#x27;t like couscous, 54 percent have witnessed an animal being born<p>People who live in the country are perhaps more likely to have witnessed an animal being born, right? (Though I suppose most people don&#x27;t live on farms, hmm...) Since couscous is not a traditional foodstuff in the West, perhaps people living in the country, who are likely to be more conservative(?), would be less likely to enjoy couscous?<p>&gt; among those who think that the only things that really exist are material things, 60 percent would prefer a messy roommate<p>This makes a certain intuitive sense to me, but I can&#x27;t quite think of the words. The word &#x27;hedonism&#x27; springs to mind, though might not quite be what I&#x27;m after.<p>&gt; among those who find it hard to tolerate oscillating fans, 58 percent do the Electric Slide at wedding receptions<p>I wonder if this is a generational gap.<p>&gt; among those who like raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing, 69 percent like candy corn<p>Like the honeysuckle nectar one, I suspect this is some common taste between the two foods.
