US Egg Consumption per Person vs Worldwide Major Earthquakes (M5+)
US Egg Consumption per Person and Worldwide Major Earthquakes (M5+) correlate at r = -0.75 over 63 years (1961–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.59. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.59). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
