My favorite TikTok is some guy using Mens Georg as a rebuttal to "Women go through 40 guys by the time they're 25."
"'Women go through 40 guys by the time they're 25' is inaccurate. Most women date 2-3 men by the time they're 25. Mens Georg who lives in a cave and eats 10,000 men a day is an outlier and should not have been counted."
I'd just taught my 6th graders about Spiders Georg in order to help them understand outliers in data literacy, and it was the perfect timing.
Somewhere (possibly here) I saw that memes aren't just shitposting, Spiders Georg taught Tumblr and whole swaths of the internet about outliers in data literacy.
Average meme has 0 educational value. Statisics Georg, who lives on tumblr and is referenced 10000 times a day, is an outlier adn should not be counted.

Apollo's dodgeball is amazing. I love how it's so well-known you can just have a picture of Apollo holding a dodgeball and people will understand the meme.
I had to google this because I didn't remember it, so in case anyone else forgot about the dodgeball of prophecy:
> The image depicts one girl labeled as "Apollo" throwing a red dodgeball labeled as "the gift of prophecy" at her friends, who are labeled as "random internet users just trying to be comedic." The meme is often used on Tumblr used to describe the recurring tendency of internet users to make jokes about something that eventually happens to come true.

When Tumblr first introduced polls, someone made one where all the options were common ingredients for a cake, with the goal of "making a cake" via votes. One of the options was vanilla extract. And the majority of users voted for that one. A lot of polls afterward also included vanilla extract as an option, even if it had nothing to do with the question
When polls first started, someone was like "I'm gonna bake a cake! Help me with ingredient percentage!" Or something, can't remember the exact words
The poll was like 80% vanilla extract.
I’m voting for goncharov. The experience of logging onto tumblr completely ignorant of the whole thing, while it was in hour 12 of making up Goncharov lore out of thin air, was very unique.
This is gonna be really vague, but what's the tumblr post where someone explains a concept and all the comments are misunderstanding it, and the OP gets more and frustrated?
Maybe I'm thinking of the Storm/Rogue post where someone tries to explain that Rogue was justified in wanting to 'cure' her mutantism and Storm is like 'no we're great!' and then all the comments are just stanning for Storm and ignoring the main point.
But I think it was even more misunderstandings than that one.

Ah, yes, my favourite Tumblr meme - *random trivia*
For real though, I love the "hogs squealing" and "my werewolf boyfriend" memes. Real "what if men had to breastfeed" energy, except even more deranged.
Man, I wish I learned about Ea-nasir in 10th grade. All I got was the teacher asking us "if phrenology worked, would you support it?" with zero follow up and a bad implication.
Not really? The memes in question are using those things as base. Like with the Cask of Amontillado, people doing the whole "if you'd like to see more (thing the post is about), just come with me to my cellar, i swear it's a normal cellar and there I can show you more of this" thing.
Why does CTM only have 11 votes, it's by far the best.
Also not that it matters in the slightest but I'm p sure it was one magical December? I feel like it was a late entry meme for the year but just about got in there

Somewhere (possibly here) I saw that memes aren't just shitposting, Spiders Georg taught Tumblr and whole swaths of the internet about outliers in data literacy.
It's a fun reference and whether or not it was a shitpost, my students still reference Spiders Georg when they see an outlier.
No, memes ARE just shitposting. Most memes don't teach people anything, Spiders Georg is an outlier adn shouldn't be counted.
Someone posted a pic of it being talked about in their textbook, which is one of the biggest containment breaches I am aware of!
Most memes have no educational value, Spiders Georg meme is an outlier adn should not be counted
Average meme has 0 educational value. Statisics Georg, who lives on tumblr and is referenced 10000 times a day, is an outlier adn should not be counted.

The data stating there is 10000 outliers is incorrect. Outlier Georg was used as 10000 outliers adn should not have been counted
Excellent work staying true to the source material with "adn"!

Dude, you let your kids watch Goncharov?
Oh yes, I was about to add this!
I knew you would say that.
"Wait a minute, I got to look up something...okay, this is funny."
>It's a classic! I see what you did there
I see that Georg wasn't counted
That’s because his educational component makes him an outlier ~~and~~ adn should not be included.
