Tyler Vigen's Spurious Correlations is a humor-filled data playground showcasing absurd statistical coincidences between unrelated variables, like Neptune's orbit and CVS stock prices or Vermont robberies linked to xkcd comics. Perfect for boredom, it combines AI-generated academic papers, satirical causal theories, and automated PDFs to turn random correlations into comedic gold. With 25,000+ variables and automated tools exposing data-dredging pitfalls, it’s a witty reminder that correlation ≠ causation-all wrapped in a no-ads, no-tracking, curiosity-first experience.
