Introduction

Cropland in Wisconsin is not just about raising eyebrows, it is quite literally raising corn. Yet, amidst the golden rows of maize lie a cornucopia of unexpected and perhaps even comical relationships. Our investigation into the peculiar correlation between the cultivation of genetically modified (GMO) corn and the emergence of the infamous internet meme "I can't even" may at first glance seem as absurd as a kernel without cob. However, as we dive deeper into the data, we unveil the curious intertwining of agricultural practices and digital culture that may just leave you saying, "Ear we go again!"

The agricultural heartland of Wisconsin has long been synonymous with cornfields, dairy farms, and landscapes adorned with bucolic charm. However, in recent years, a new crop has taken root in these fertile soils – GMO corn. As agronomic technology continues to leap forward, GMO crop cultivation has become increasingly prevalent, transforming the face of modern agriculture. Yet, as GMO corn proliferates across the Badger State, another phenomenon seems to be sprouting in the digital realm – the meme "I can't even."

We embarked on this study with the goal of shedding light on this seemingly incongruous connection. Through an analysis of comprehensive data from the USDA and Google Trends spanning nearly two decades, we aimed to ascertain if there is indeed a kernel of truth behind the speculation that GMO corn cultivation is influencing our collective exasperation, as echoed in the online searches for "I can't even."

Our findings, as you will discover, unearth a correlation that is as unexpected as a cornstalk in the middle of a city. We hope that this research not only enriches our understanding of the societal repercussions of agricultural techniques but also encourages a chuckle or two as we delve into the unexpected intersections of agriculture and internet culture. So, without further ado, let us embark on this maize-merizing journey through the GMO-meme connection. Shall we?

"Maize-merizing: The GMO-meme Connection - Can't Kernel-teven: A Study of the Correlation Between GMO Corn Cultivation in Wisconsin and Google Searches for 'I Can't Even'"

[[ABSTRACT]]
In this study, we sought to investigate the puzzling interplay between the cultivation of genetically modified (GMO) corn in the agricultural heartland of Wisconsin and the frequency of Google searches for the popular meme phrase "I can't even". Drawing upon comprehensive data from the USDA and Google Trends, we embarked on a meticulous analysis covering the period from 2004 to 2023. Our results revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9157403 and statistical significance at p < 0.01, reflecting the robust association between the proliferation of GMO corn and the ascent of the "I can't even" cultural phenomenon. Our findings have significant implications for understanding the societal impact of agricultural practices and the unexpected intersections of internet culture. This study pushes the boundaries of interdisciplinary inquiry, affirming the relevance of agrotechnological trends in the realm of digital expressions.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
Introduction
Cropland in Wisconsin is not just about raising eyebrows, it is quite literally raising corn. Yet, amidst the golden rows of maize lie a cornucopia of unexpected and perhaps even comical relationships. Our investigation into the peculiar correlation between the cultivation of genetically modified (GMO) corn and the emergence of the infamous internet meme "I can't even" may at first glance seem as absurd as a kernel without cob. However, as we dive deeper into the data, we unveil the curious intertwining of agricultural practices and digital culture that may just leave you saying, "Ear we go again!"
The agricultural heartland of Wisconsin has long been synonymous with cornfields, dairy farms, and landscapes adorned with bucolic charm. However, in recent years, a new crop has taken root in these fertile soils – GMO corn. As agronomic technology continues to leap forward, GMO crop cultivation has become increasingly prevalent, transforming the face of modern agriculture. Yet, as GMO corn proliferates across the Badger State, another phenomenon seems to be sprouting in the digital realm – the meme "I can't even."
We embarked on this study with the goal of shedding light on this seemingly incongruous connection. Through an analysis of comprehensive data from the USDA and Google Trends spanning nearly two decades, we aimed to ascertain if there is indeed a kernel of truth behind the speculation that GMO corn cultivation is influencing our collective exasperation, as echoed in the online searches for "I can't even."
Our findings, as you will discover, unearth a correlation that is as unexpected as a cornstalk in the middle of a city. We hope that this research not only enriches our understanding of the societal repercussions of agricultural techniques but also encourages a chuckle or two as we delve into the unexpected intersections of agriculture and internet culture. So, without further ado, let us embark on this maize-merizing journey through the GMO-meme connection. Shall we?

[[RESULTS]]
The rigorous analysis of the data from 2004 to 2023 has brought to light an unexpected and tantalizing correlation between the cultivation of genetically modified (GMO) corn in Wisconsin and the frequency of Google searches for the ubiquitous phrase "I can't even." With a correlation coefficient of 0.9157403, an r-squared value of 0.8385803, and a p-value of less than 0.01, it appears that there is indeed a strong statistical relationship between these seemingly disparate domains.
Figure 1 illustrates the striking relationship between GMO corn cultivation and the prevalence of "I can't even" searches. The scatterplot showcases a clear positive trend, resembling the growth of corn in the heartland of Wisconsin. This association may be as surprising as finding a popcorn kernel in a field of sweet corn.
Our comprehensive statistical analysis not only underscores the robustness of the correlation but also raises eyebrows akin to a farmer examining a particularly curious cob.

Correlation r = 0.9157403 (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 = 0.8385803 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 83.9% 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 corn grown in Wisconsin) over the 20 years from 2004 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.5E-8. 0.0000000149285637492754430000
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 0.92 in 1.5E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 66,985,680 random variables You don't actually need 66 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 19 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 19 because we have two variables measured over a period of 20 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.

[ 0.8, 0.97 ] 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.
