bakir is bizzy bee
why don't you post an explainer every hundred or so times you post this creepy fucking graphic of yours?
Benford's law, also called the NewcombโBenford law, the law of anomalous numbers, or the first-digit law, is an observation about the frequency distribution of leading digits in many real-life sets of numerical data. The law states that in many naturally occurring collections of numbers, the leading digit is likely to be small.[1]

Don't think you can get a murder conviction on it, but it's another little piece of anecdotal evidence.
kek rerunsโฆthat sums up the plight of millenials nicely.
pre-millenials got to hear blast the fucking theme song on Pioneer Super Tuners through Bose speakers cuz it was on this thing they called "radio."
sucks to be a junior.
But wait, there's moar:
Accounting fraud detection
In 1972, Hal Varian suggested that the law could be used to detect possible fraud in lists of socio-economic data submitted in support of public planning decisions. Based on the plausible assumption that people who fabricate figures tend to distribute their digits fairly uniformly, a simple comparison of first-digit frequency distribution from the data with the expected distribution according to Benford's law ought to show up any anomalous results.[32]
Legal status
In the United States, evidence based on Benford's law has been admitted in criminal cases at the federal, state, and local levels.[33]
Election data
Benford's law has been invoked as evidence of fraud in the 2009 Iranian elections,[34] and also used to analyze other election results.
