They found out that those people are psychopaths.

Alright, fossilesque, this not a fucking meme. 90% of what you post isn't either, but this is bullshit. Post science memes here. Post SCIENTIFIC STUDIES somewhere else.

Fuck!

tl;dr

We find that men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penises are less likely to personally own guns across outcomes

To assess penis size dissatisfaction, respondents were asked to indicate their overall level of dissatisfaction with the size of their penis

I'm so not answering that I think my dick is small under any circumstances

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I'd actually say that's a legitimately huge flaw with this study.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This + confounding factors + a garbage can regression + a not so random small sample -> their findings are rubbish.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Which is the same issue with many physcology and political survey-based studies. Take a survey that was horribly implemented, run some lightweight analysis (cause what can you really do with 20 respondents anyways), slap a funny name on it, and boom another piece of terrible research.

Somebody PLEASE post this in [email protected]. I would but I've been banned for winning an argument against a mod.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Ok.

Now do rolling coal RAMs with gun racks.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I’m glad someone did this study, even if it’s not going to change my use of the slur against rabid gun owners.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

More like bb owners amirite

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

As long as you’re not Armalite!

Lol, so not only smaller penises dont own more guns, but it is totally the inverse. So there IS a correlation, but its the opposite of what everybody think, bigger size = more likely to own gun. Science will always amaze me!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Or they found one group is less likely to lie when self reporting.

They should have had people dropping trousers for science!

Satisfaction == larger

Could be something like dillusion or confidence that relates the penis satisfaction and the fun ownership.

I love science, this was an interesting read thanks.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Science is for sharing. ;)
