what other kind would it be?

there is a lot wrong with that math

Other people have already said a lot, but I’ll fill in some more of the calculations. So, according to the poll, we only know that

P(Cis) = 0.28

and

P(Straight) = 0.19

Now, what we are looking after is P(Cis ∧ Straight). Since we don’t know if cis people on this sub are more or less likely to be straight, there’s no way to calculate this without making assumptions, but generally in statistics for a rough estimate we can assume statistical independence. In that case we get

P(Cis ∧ Straight) = P(Cis) * P(Straight) = 0.28 * 0.19 = 0.06

which would mean about 6% of people are cis and straight. That is probably underestimating it, because it is pretty likely that cis people are more likely to be straight, but from this data, there is no way to know.

Now, to what you calculated: instead of writing it in absolutes, you can rewrite it in probabilities:

P(Straight) / P(Cis)

In and of itself this gives us no information. But again, if we assume this time that all straight people are cis, which is a steeper assumption, we get the conditional probability:

P(Straight) / P(Cis) = P(Cis ∧ Straight) / P(Cis) = P(Straight | Cis) = 0.65

This gives us that assuming all straight people are cis, if you meet someone who is cis, there’s a 65% chance they are also straight. Which is interesting, but not what we’re looking for

wow, that turned out a bunch of nerd shit, what I actually meant to say was

:3

Just realized I messed up the actual numbers, but I’m too lazy to correct them

I misread the results, taking the 1872 responses, instead of 964 users. In no way does that change the math behind it. Just in case you actually care about the numbers, the updated figures would be:

P(Cis) = 0.55

P(Straight) = 0.36

P(Cis ∧ Straight) = 0.20

giving us 20% cis and straight people.

unfortunately not, I downloaded it a while ago, can’t remember exactly where. let me check if I can find it

Edit: I found it on Lemmy actually, over on !witchymemes

lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/2291371

But I don’t think that’s the original either

I did not expect to see Böhmermann here, but I’m not complaining

Ferris is canonically trans in the source material, and consistently misgendered in the anime :c

she’s trans

Not true, it outputs “Wipp” to the console

That it doesn’t mean “true” can be immediately seen by the fact there’s a … in there, which outputs the same character twice

I don’t remember posting this 🤔

honestly tho, folk punk got me through some of my darkest days, and I still listen to it every so often. good stuff.
