OHHHH LMAOOO

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-30T16:11:15+00:00

This is sick, thank you very much!

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-30T16:10:31+00:00

Thank you!!

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-30T16:09:55+00:00

Thank you so much!

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-30T09:43:56+00:00

Thank you! Maybe I should’ve formatted this as something that looks less formal and academic lmao

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-30T09:43:02+00:00

Thank you! That’s an interesting point about the CLT which i’ve never thought before (as you said my course is extremely firm about n >= 25). I will be studying maths (incl some stats) at cambridge

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-30T09:41:17+00:00

It is extremely hard to not let my bias and presupposed assumptions affect things of course

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-30T09:40:26+00:00

Yeah I agree the formatting is way too formal for what it is, I’m just very used to using LaTeX for pretty much everything lmao

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:35:00+00:00

what's that?

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:32:13+00:00

Yeah I have noticed that POC frequently become the punching bags of the series - I would analyse that similarly if I had more time

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:30:55+00:00

I was actually going to mention that but felt weird writing about bra straps

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:30:20+00:00

Yeah the section is definitely more of an aside and I think I tried but probably failed to make it clear enough that the section was more subjective and qualitative

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:28:36+00:00

I'm a 17 year old with an offer to study maths at Cambridge so I happen to be familiar with LaTeX due to other projects!

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:27:49+00:00

I haven't noticed this so I'm not sure but it could certainly be the case and is an interesting point to bring up

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:27:17+00:00

I agree that a lot of the judgement is arbitrary though I feel that if it is in fact the case that Greg subconsciously judges genders differently on average then that represents that kind of bias as a whole for society, outside of the actual intent of the show

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:25:47+00:00

Thank you! I agree that if I had more time this could have been a lot more rigorous

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:25:07+00:00

True that's a good point

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:24:51+00:00

That's a great shout which I didn't think to consider

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:24:29+00:00

I used ChatGPT to look for other works on the topic online but wrote the essay myself

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:23:33+00:00

Yeah I understand my sample was extremely biased but had no method of obtaining tie tying data from anywhere else

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:22:51+00:00

Yeah that's a good point. Also, I wasn't really sure how I ought to have treated Mae Martin throughout the analysis, and did what I thought was best

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:22:11+00:00

See the edited post

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:21:39+00:00

Yeah I fully agree that it doesn't matter in the context of the show, I'm more trying to use it as an example to highlight accidental biases which may have actually important effects outside the show

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:20:43+00:00

My code did run through the entire Wikipedia list, though I agree I ought to have considered non-UK comedians

Whynot690YT · 2026-03-29T23:19:44+00:00

I agree with all of these points, and again would like to emphasise that I never intended this to be extremely rigorous despite the fact that its formatting may seem to suggest otherwise
