basenana

A six-panel comic. A bald guard in red robes shouts "Stop, thief!" at a figure dressed in a full suit made of bananas. The guard asks "What are you?" and the banana-suited figure replies "Invincible. Statistically invincible." The guard says "Huh?" The figure explains: "The base rate of death while wearing a suit made of bananas is literally zero. I cannot be killed!" The guard immediately draws a sword and stabs him. Dying, the figure says through gritted teeth, "Tell my wife... I updated my priors..." Votey: A close-up of the now-dead banana-suited figure slumped over with X's for eyes, captioned "Also I think she can still make banana bread with these." The joke skewers reasoning from base rates without causal models.
