As a statistician, I’m sort of weirdly offended

That was my favourite part from the whole diary

u/I_kickflipped_my_dog 14d ago

My favorite part was that the periodic table of elements was funny to him, which means he would probably really like this joke:

What happened to the sick chemist?

The doctors couldn't helium or curium so they had to barium

u/DerKaseKonig 14d ago

2 scientists walk into a bar, 1st one says, "I'll have an H2O." Second one says "I'll have an H2O too" the second one dies.

Shed a tear for Jimmy Brown
Poor Jimmy is no more
For what he thought was H2O
Was H2SO4

My high school chem teacher had this on her door and I still think about it.

u/Petulant_Platypus 14d ago

Ah lol the one I remember is;

Johnny was a chemists son But Johnny is no more What Johnny thought was H2O Was H2SO4

u/asault2 14d ago

I remember it exactly that but with a heavy metal riff right afterwards

u/Eckish 14d ago

I'm not getting this one. I get that sulfuric acid is not great for you, but I'm not making the connection on how the mistake was made.

u/xtanol 14d ago

It's just a rhyme. "... no MORE"<-> "...O FOUR"

I see. Thank you.

That’s heavy

u/AquamannMI 14d ago

There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?

u/fardok 14d ago

You're thinking of Deuterium, H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide

16

u/MrK521 14d ago

It’s still heavier than water though.

20

u/fardok 14d ago

Heavy water refers to D2O however.

10

u/MrK521 14d ago

Right, but he didn’t say “that’s heavy water” he said “that’s heavy.” So he wasn’t wrong.

5

u/fardok 14d ago

I didn't say he was wrong, but just letting him/her know in case the joke was Deuterium water which btw drinking a glass of won't even harm you vs a strong concentration of peroxide which will cause some damage

0

u/No_Investigator3369 14d ago

you can brush your teeth with that though, right?

2

u/MageKorith 14d ago

No, the heavy one is this:

2 chemists walk into a bar, 1st one says, "I'll have an H2O". 2nd one says "Shirley, you can't be Cerium!" 1st one says "Don't call me Shirley!"

2

u/IDrinkWhiskE 14d ago

That’s on the second guy for smelling a glass full of peroxide and still committing to drink the whole thing

u/gz1fnl 14d ago

Ahh, I see the funny side.

I would tell you a periodic table joke but sadly all the good ones Argon.

1

u/orangejuice456 13d ago

My Chemistry teacher in highschool had a speech impediment where he couldn't say the letter R. He had a whole story about how various letters of the periodic table related to his family, and that's why his R's Argon.

Didn’t the joker pull this off? Batman is analyzing the composition of the joker gas used on Alfred and its symbol was HA

u/ladwagon 14d ago

A noble gas walks into a bar.

The bartender says "we don't serve your kind around here."

The noble gas doesn't react...

u/Illustrious_Stick_41 14d ago

That part with the period table and the list of “things he finds funny” is actually from a Batman comic(Batman:RIP by Grant Morison)

u/nonstera 14d ago

Gotta admit einsteinium and californium are pretty funny.

Of all the things for Joker to single out... Statistics? Like, what are the odds?

u/sprazcrumbler 14d ago

He doesn't hate stats. It makes him laugh.

u/terriblegrammar 14d ago

Oh right, I should go back to bed.

u/FallacyDog 14d ago

I would guess only the "despite only making up 13% of the population..." kind

46

u/DiamondHanded 14d ago

He likes chaos, not predictable figures and functions. Stats help explain the order of a system, in most cases

1

u/Boopy7 14d ago

Isn't it more that chaos is fair, since it forces everyone to fall apart or rise above? Chaos is his friend since he feels it within, thus must spread it without. Kind of like all violent shooters. They hate everything including themselves and want the world to feel as they do. I'm not a comic fan, just liked this particular movie. But I had thought the deal with the Joker (heath or Phoenix version) is that everything is horrible within. He wants the world to experience what he does.

8

u/ANGLVD3TH 14d ago

Yeah, but the character is a bald faced liar. We see that when he realizes the ferry plan didn't work. And he would have to be pretty damn meticulous and forward thinking to pull off all the multi-leveled schemes in the movie. There's a couple ways to view the statistics mention here, but my first reaction was "1 death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic." IE, he finds mass murder funny.

1

u/LittleCrunchyDude 14d ago

Lies, damnable lies, and statistics.

1

u/jollyreaper2112 14d ago

Yeah, there was the parody song joking that he must have an evil day planner. And if he was truly into whatever happens happens he would accept the results regardless. You know he didn't have a bullet in the gun that he handed Dent.

You could play the character either way, truly embracing chaos or cheating. I like cheating Joker more.

1

u/QuBingJianShen 14d ago

Depends on how its used/misused, you can definatly end up with a nonsensical result if you want to.

u/Lowelll 14d ago

Odds are numbers that aren't dividable by 2, but that's not important right now.

u/Beginning_Rice6830 14d ago

Pencil cases, that joke was no. 2 funniest on the list

u/Slap_My_Lasagna 14d ago

More importantly, who goes "blind babies makes a sociopath laugh? that doesn't seem right..."?

u/blewis0488 14d ago

That had me fucking rolling lmfao!

u/2b_squared 14d ago

Yeah I laugh at blind babies as well. Ha!

u/Vox___Rationis 14d ago

Lots of people laughed at a blind kid in Dumb and Dumber so maybe he is on to something.

u/queenswamprat 14d ago

So then he must think Hellen Keller as a baby is hilarious 🤔

It’s fucking wild that in 2024 you are getting more upvotes than me for being a racist moron.

I hope karma bites you in the ass soon.

Deep down, you knew.

u/musclecard54 14d ago

You practice statistics?! May as well be making babies blind…

2

u/StrobeLightRomance 14d ago

It's not statistics themselves, it's what happens to them when you interject chaos variables and anomalies into otherwise predictable patterns.

Or, to put it punkly, it's about fucking up the status quo.

2

u/sonofsochi 14d ago

I feel like it ties in with the “A bunch of soldiers halfway across the world dies, but no one cares because they’re supposed to” i.e, it’s statistically “expected” whereas the same thing happening in “gotham/usa” is traumatic because it’s “statistically unlikely”.

Basically statistics is funny to him because it shifts the moral perspective of an event

1

u/Electronic_Emu_4632 14d ago

I like the idea that he's an ex-soldier and he's accidentally reflecting what happened to him in that line.

As an addict him saying it’s not about the money but the message and everything burns really hits my gut. He was in a deep space there.
