In the movie venom during the first human trials of the symbiote, the research team is happy that the patients “vitals are holding steady”. This is a reference to the production team not consulting a single medical professional to find out what good vital signs look like.
Ah yes, a pulse of 136 And an oxygen saturation of 81%
The ideal levels
Yes nothing to be concerned about there
Perfectly normal
They said they were holding steady, not that they were holding healthy.
“Patient’s vitals are steady.” “Doctor… They’re dead.” “And maintaining that state quite well.”
So can we talk about the absolutely stunning duplicity going on here?
…that’s cheating!
HOLY SHIT
That is some DELIBERATELY EVIL data representation. Where is the super villain that designed this fucking graph?
“Okay murders spiked by like well over 1000% but if we turn the graph THIS way, it’s like they went DOWN! HOORAYYYY!!!”
For anyone confused: the red represents the murder rate. Look at the numbers at the y axis. The graph is upside down because, normally, a graph starts at 0 and then goes up, but this one ends at 0.
As we put it in German: never trust statistics you haven’t manipulated yourself
this is fucking disgusting
There, I fixed it.
Holy fuck this is utterly vile.
This is why I believe everyone should have a stats class in highschool. People can moan about math all the way want but things like this affect not only your life but society itself. Being able to read graphs properly, understand statistics… It frees you from so much.
I can’t tell whether it was my timezone or the fact an American wouldn’t not eat pizza at 2 am that tipped you off otherwise, but either way I’m offended you assumed this
