Edit: This is obviously hilariously wrong.

This reminds me of how we beat covid by not testing for it anymore
This, but also isn’t that how genetics works? You’re not going to see a native Chihuahua thriving in the arctic.
(But it’s probably something about what countries actually do testing, etc. )
Well when you look at Europe you see that the countries that make up the majority of the countries that colonized America have the higher autism rates too
Tell me you don’t understand sample selection bias without saying you don’t understand sample selection bias.
I think that’s the point
I for one upvoted this post because it is stupid.
It’s time to introduce everyone to the concept of Culture bound syndrome
Good link, thx.
My favorite part:
Some culture-bound syndromes appear with similar features in several cultures, but with locally specific traits, such as penis panics.
Autism is caused by (squints) the Welsh.
but they are delicious
They catch it from the sheep.
'splains why the Kiwis aren’t even on the map: the whole country got vaporized when they reached critical autism concentration.
New Zealand very smart, just skip Autism altogether.
Many diseases seem to not exist in New Zealand.
Obviously it’s because people in Africa and south America don’t have access to paracetamol.
Acet…achet…ackt.see.tomofin…better known as tylenol THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Let’s play Pick the Cognitive Biases. Not just in the picture, but in the comments and the reasons people downvoted this.
If you see this comment, it could be interesting to get an idea of how many people:
a) Thought OP posted this in like a “Look at how dumb this is” way, or,
b) Thought OP agreed with the idea presented in the image.
I think this might have to do with communication climates (I am so far from an expert in anything) and how a climate of disagreement with peers and prevalent media can affect how a message is received. In other words, if surrounded by stupid people with stupid ideas it’s easy to assume the next stupid idea has come from a stupid person.
Tylenol is just really popular in the US
The US should just switch to paracetamol. Problem solved!
Yeah if this instance is going to become a place to post disinformation, I’m out. I came here to escape reddit, not double down on its worst aspects.
Calm down, you’re in a memes channel, and OP here posts science memes all the time. I’m very sure this is satirical
It’s a place to deconstruct disinformation. Discussing why things are wrong can be more important than just facts.
Just block the idiots.
If you block OP, you have basically left the community, as OP is this community. Either way, I’m fairly certain OP is posting this as in “look at how dumb this is.” It’s a science memes community.
Like the idiots who don’t understand sarcasm?
Sarcasm no worky worky on internet. Therefore we invent emoji. 🔏
damn sorry for downvotes OP, I thought it was pretty funny
Poe’s Law. Without a clear indicator, a lot of people took it as OP believing this.
OP added the description after like an hour, people have kept downvoting after it was added
Tough crowd. ヘ(^_^)

Anyway, fact is that the US ranks in the place 33 in the average IQ level, maybe saved by the chinese and corean scientifics working in the MIT, no need of an fake map.
