[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

Several studies have investigated the impact of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in soybeans on various aspects of agriculture, economics, and public health. Smith et al. (2015) conducted a comprehensive analysis of the yield and production trends associated with GMO soybeans, while Doe and Jones (2018) explored the environmental implications of widespread GMO cultivation. However, the potential influence of GMO soybeans on the linguistic and emotional expressions of the populace has remained largely uncharted territory until now.

In "Soybeans and Society: The Interplay of Agriculture and Culture," the authors delve into the multifaceted relationship between soybean cultivation and societal dynamics, shedding light on the subtle yet profound connections that exist. In a similar vein, "GMOs and the Human Experience" examines the far-reaching effects of genetically modified crops on human behaviors and attitudes, albeit focusing on a wider range of GMOs beyond soybeans.

Turning to the world of fiction, the works of Kornbluth in "Boredom on the Farm" and Orwell in "Animal Farm: A Tale of Agricultural Revolution" offer satirical reflections on the intersection of agricultural practices and societal norms, hinting at the potential for unexpected repercussions stemming from agricultural innovations.

In the realm of board games, the strategic nuances of "Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small" and the resource management challenges of "Catan" provide a playful yet insightful backdrop for contemplating the intricate interplay between agriculture and cultural phenomena.

As we navigate through the plethora of literature surrounding GMOs, soybeans, and societal dynamics, it becomes evident that our study fills a unique niche, straddling the line between agricultural science and the whimsical world of internet vernacular. Our findings promise to unravel a 'soy-prise' of unexpected proportions, infusing the discourse with a dash of humor and soy-stirring revelations.

[[DISCUSSION]]

The results of our study have yielded a sprout of insight into the enigmatic relationship between GMO soybean cultivation and the frequency of 'I can't even' Google searches in Minnesota. In light of the robust correlation coefficient and statistically significant p-value, it becomes evident that our findings harmonize with prior research that has delved into the multifaceted impacts of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on various facets of human behavior and societal dynamics.

Drawing from the literature, our study falls in step with the work of Smith et al. (2015) and Doe and Jones (2018) in highlighting the far-reaching effects of GMO soybeans, albeit breaking new ground by venturing into the realm of linguistic and emotional expressions. The intriguing intersection of agricultural practices and societal dynamics, as evidenced in the playful yet insightful backdrop of board games such as "Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small" and "Catan," finds validation in our soy-stirring revelations.

While it may seem as improbable as a unicorn sighting or a statistically significant p-value in the social sciences, our results align with the broader theme of unexpected repercussions stemming from agricultural innovations, as hinted at by the satirical reflections in Kornbluth's "Boredom on the Farm" and Orwell's "Animal Farm: A Tale of Agricultural Revolution". This echoes the notion that our findings are not simply a 'soy-prise' but rather a meaningful contribution to the whimsical world of internet vernacular and agricultural science.

The strength of our correlation coefficient and r-squared value suggests a plausibly causal link between GMO soybean cultivation and the exasperated outcries encapsulated in 'I can't even' Google searches. However, as with any study of this nature, it is important to tread cautiously, like a soybean plant navigating through the treacherous terrain of statistical inference. While we cannot conclusively pinpoint causation, the impact of GMO soybeans on the linguistic landscape of Minnesota is a budding field ripe for further exploration.

In sum, our research serves as a testament to the soy-stirring relationships that exist across seemingly unrelated domains. The soy-ber revelation of a strong positive relationship between GMO soybean cultivation and 'I can't even' Google searches opens the door to a myriad of soy-entific musings and reinforces the unpredictable nature of interdisciplinary research. And just like the resilience of soybeans in adverse conditions, this study exemplifies the resilience of scientific inquiry in uncovering the unexpected and, dare I say, 'soy-prising' connections.

"Soy What? Exploring the GMO-ment between Soybeans and 'I Can't Even' Google Searches in Minnesota"

[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we delve into the curious connection between the use of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in soybeans and the frequency of Google searches for the relatable expression 'I can't even' in the state of Minnesota. Combining data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Google Trends, we set out to ascertain whether there exists any significant correlation between these seemingly disparate factors. Our findings reveal a surprisingly robust correlation coefficient of 0.8855932 and a p-value less than 0.01 for the period spanning from 2004 to 2022. This may shed light on the novel influence of GMO soybean cultivation on the linguistic and emotional expressions of Minnesotans, prompting them to turn to the internet in exasperation. While the causative mechanisms behind this correlation remain nebulous, our study opens the door to further investigation into the potential impacts of agrobiotechnology on the cultural fabric of society. Thus, our research serves as a testament to the intriguing and, dare I say, soy-stirring relationships that can be unearthed through interdisciplinary inquiry.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The interplay between agricultural practices and societal behaviors has long been a subject of scholarly intrigue. From the economic repercussions of crop yield fluctuations to the cultural influences stemming from agricultural innovations, the nexus of agriculture and society provides fertile ground for investigation. In this vein, our study sets out to unravel an unexpected connection between genetically modified organisms (GMO) in soybeans and the frequency of exasperated exclamations, as evidenced by Google searches for the phrase 'I can't even,' in the state of Minnesota. Hold on to your lab coats, because this is where the seemingly mundane world of soybeans collides with the enigmatic realm of internet vernacular.
The widespread adoption of GMO soybeans in the United States has ignited debates on ecological, economic, and health-related fronts. However, in the midst of these discussions, the potential impact on linguistic and emotional expressions has largely evaded scientific scrutiny. Meanwhile, the phrase "I can't even" has permeated popular culture, becoming a hallmark of exasperation, incredulity, and resignation. By embarking on this unconventional research trajectory, we endeavor to shed light on the unexplored territory where agricultural biotechnology meets contemporary linguistic expressions.
We aim to answer the burning question: Could the cultivation of genetically modified soybeans trigger a surge in digital declarations of exasperation among the denizens of Minnesota? The prospect may sound as far-fetched as finding a needle in a haystack, or in this case, a dissatisfied internet user in a sea of soybean fields. Nonetheless, our study presents evidence of a noteworthy correlation that challenges conventional thinking.
As we embark on this scientific escapade, we invite you to don your thinking caps and join us in this foray into the unexpected and, dare I say, soy-prise-laden intersection of agrobiotechnology and internet linguistics. So, hold on to your test tubes, as we navigate through the GMO-ment between soybeans and 'I can't even' in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In conclusion, our study uncovers a curious correlation between the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in soybeans and the frequency of 'I can't even' Google searches in Minnesota – a discovery as surprising as realizing you're out of guac after ordering a burrito. The statistically robust relationship we've uncovered is as strong as the allure of a freshly brewed cup of soy-based coffee to a non-dairy enthusiast.

The soy-stirring implications of our findings extend beyond mere statistical intrigue, transcending into the realm of societal influence. It seems that the GMO soybeans have sown the seeds of linguistic exasperation in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, producing a novel kind of crop that flourishes not in fields, but in the digital expanse of internet searches. This revelation is as unexpected as finding a needle in a haystack, or rather, a disillusioned internet user amidst verdant soybean plantations.

As we wrap up this soy-entific saga, it is evident that no more research is needed in this area... unless, of course, we want to delve into the impact of organic kale on the usage of 'facepalm' emojis. But for now, we can confidently say that our study has soy-lidified the notion that agricultural biotechnology may have unanticipated effects on linguistic and emotional expressions in the modern world. It's a reminder that the whims of correlations can be as unpredictable as a rogue soybean in a field of non-GMO crops.

So, as we bid adieu to this soy-stained adventure, let's remember that the world of scientific inquiry is not just a maze of formulas and figures, but also a playground of soy-prises and unexpected connections. And with that, we say, "I can't even" comprehend the full implications of our own findings!

Correlation r = 0.8855932 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r2 = 0.7842754 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 78.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'i cant even') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., GMO use in soybeans in Minnesota) over the 19 years from 2004 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 4.6E-7. 0.0000004625397257860005400000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.89 in 4.6E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 2,161,976 random variables You don't actually need 2 million variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 18 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 18 because we have two variables measured over a period of 19 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.72, 0.96 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!


All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
  2. Lack of causal connection: There is probably Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
    no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
  3. Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
    p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
  4. Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
    Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
