wholady
who's the guy though? I laughed with him
DoctorSniffles
They should make a scentless Yankee candle cakes covid 19
StarHands
Sounds like a terrible cake tbh
davidlynchmob
His laugh, though! ?

Y'all a National Treasure.

I genuinely don’t understand who’s being mocked here.
LeeEingur
For those who don't know, it means that many people with covid lose their sense of smell.
madbydesign
Video reactions are just modern versions of laugh tracks. Change my mind.
Somegone
Where is that clip from blazing sadles about the comon folks.
BattleWizard
Ok, what is this from? I need to subscribe.
thespaceneedle
Why is Ted Cruz laughing?
EvilAbedsBoneSaw
I remember this from last year too. A researcher named Petrova noticed the trend & did some statistical analysis to see if it was true.

What did Petrova find?
EvilAbedsBoneSaw
¹In a nutshell, there was a statistically significant correlation between the two. They also found unscented candles did not share the same

²full point drop in customer satisfaction when used as a control. IIRC, population was Amazon reviewers from the pandemic & before times.

Funny thing that's how we knew we had covid we could shove our face in a Yankee Candle and not smell anything
LooseyGooseyBrett
Did she not day "coziest"?
HillOfBeans
She did not.
wisher1977
It's almost as weird as when temperatures drop below 32, everything freezes. Craziest shit, right?!

Are we not going to point out that the red line is going way the fuck up at the end, or are we just too sad?
Ulthirm
Loss of smell is a long term, potentially permanent for some individuals, symptom. So the data is a bit skewy towards the end where they're
Ulthirm
not quite filtering them effectively.
dasklaus
My guess: Loss of scent is a common long-term effect, staying for months, so the number of affected people is still rising.
GoIIum
My guess: the red line tracks the reality of covid cases closer than the tests did right before the election.
AWarningToOthers
It's because of the microchips. Wake up sheeple.

Y'all noticed how climate change has gotten worse since the 1600s and we also, suspiciously, have less active pirates since then?...

She ain’t wrong
BlahBlahBlacksheep555
She's not a conspiracy theorist - she's pointing how dumb people can be who don't realize they've lost their sense of smell.
ViscousCousCous
It sounds so Florida, but with Texas overnotes, the pace sounds exactly like my auntie.

My guess would be Tennessee, more apalachie than Southern drawl...
LondoMollari58
The way she enunciates 'coh-vid' is kinda cute

I always feel like these reactions are exaggerated because my own reaction to these memes and videos is never more than a hearty chortle.
StewedTomaters
Reactions are always exaggerated when there's a camera on you. Always.
OhNoDontTouch
nuh uh.. footage from the secret cameras I placed around the house says otherwise.
StewedTomaters
How do you keep the lenses clean? Ty-D-Bol tablets?
CarpeMofo
Well, our reactions to things tend to be stronger in a social situation. Also, we're imgurians, we're mostly dead inside.

I really hope someone made that graph. That’s amazing.

The saddest part of this is society has devolved so I can't tell if she's thinking she discovered a conspiracy or is mocking the covidiots.
RaynWisp
There's a slight smile in there, conspiracy nuts lean more towards consternation and outrage - which isn't easy to fake.
RaynWisp
Granted, it would help is the clip were longer. There's no cap on crazy.
Lachwen
Definitely reads as mockery to me.
noReallyIamPrincessBob
But there is actually an observable correlation, so…
Idontneedrealfacts
and we all know that correlation = causation so there is something going on here
noReallyIamPrincessBob
You don’t have to be snarky.
agentcase
its 100% her mocking them
thewiggins
she thinks that she is debunking covid with a false correlation, except, covid causes issues with the sense of smell...
CiaranMcHale
What? No mention of Nicolas Cage this time?
MasterPrime
The graph here are two things without correlation. the graph in OP definitely has a correlation.
CiaranMcHale
I know that. And you know that. But, apparently, she doesn't know that.
OhNoDontTouch
what makes you think she doesn't?
CiaranMcHale
Either she doesn't know, or she is trying to make a joke. My guess is the former, but I might be wrong.
suido
She made a joke, the dude laughed. You are wrong.
TwoCheese
What? This is positive correlation.
SpaceEagle63
Correlation is not causation. But in this case it is.
LeeEingur
it means that many people who get covid lose their smell.
louferrigno
Exactly.
martineb72
The complaints go up in the holidays when people get those things. It could still be covid but holidays will skew the numbers
sparklepantsthedestroyer
No, it isn't: covid cases don't cause Yankee Candles to "have no scent"; covid frequently causes anosmia. The scent's still there.
OhNoDontTouch
are you stupid? if an idiot can't smell (because they have covid) they're more likely to complain about their candle not having any scent.
BourbonAndBeethoven
SpaceEagle63
You missed the joke
usernameusedinlessplatforms2
No it doesnt change candles, no one cailmed it does. It does increase "no scent" reviews and complaints tho, like they claimed.
thelocalcorner
I dunno. The fluoride in the water spiked the same time the autism rates went up and the frogs became gay. /s
FriskyDolphin
Maybe the gay frogs spiked the water to give us autism, do your own research

MisterLemons
People aren't only *that* stupid, they're incomprehensibly dumber. Worse yet, it's a life choice.
JericoJones23
Do you mean the people in the video are stupid or the people that made the complaints? Because the graph is correct I think. Its the same on
JericoJones23
Amazon with scented candles in general
SlimSam
And people still bitch about why they aren't taking the vaccines. Let's just let them die by covid... It would solve so many problems.
Skywatcher16
problem is they are gonna deal collateral while they do.. because even in death they must still be a burden to civilized society.
SlimSam
The vaccine protects you from the virus being deadly, doesn't it? Stupid people dying is a burden? More like living stupid...
Skywatcher16
not everyone *can* get their shots. and most who medically cannot, are among those who would if they could. additionally, while the unvaxxed
Skywatcher16
die, they still serve as incubators for mutations and as vectors of infection
RockKickass
And their vote counts as much as ours is the big shame
Gestalt7
*more. They tend to live in areas where gerrymandering has rendered our votes immaterial.
Remmon1
Unless they live in a state with a relatively small population. Their votes count a lot more than yours for senate and president.
Lachwen
What really gets me are the Qanon folks who really think JFK Jr. faked his death and is going to come back.
AR33
Need to start a conspiracy that he's in area 51 and let them raid it.
somethingawesomeandgreat
But why they want him to come back, he was a hardcore Dem
Lachwen
I don't know the details, because I'm unwilling to delve too deep into the crazy, but apparently they think he'll come back to be 1/

Worked retail for 19 years, can confirm. People are stupid animals.
NegimaSensei
19?! I salute you! I did 10 and then vowed never to go back.
scabbydog666
I did a few and there's definitely a lifespan for working retail. When you start not giving a fuck about the people its time to quit

Yesterday I asked a Walgreens person where the gift cards were, while I was literally standing in front of them. And I’m smart.

I watched my buddy another manager get a cup from McDonald’s cause he thought somebody in the fitting room was going to throw up.
ihaveanouttie
They requested an empty cup, he said he’s ok we walked off. Get a call few minutes later from the fitting room the customer shit in the cup.

They left their portable toilet for us to take care of. I have probably a Thomas and other stories similar or much worse.

I love his laugh! I’m guessing she’s from Eastern Kentucky.
LazloBasement
If not, it's definitely somewhere in Appalachia.

Man my first thought was Kentucky as well.

She sounds like my Grandma. Her family is from Boone county
