Extrapolating current trends to the year 2015
In summary, the conversation is about a potentially scary attachment that is being shared. One person thinks the person in the attached image is a "poseur" while another person comments on the potential pain and discomfort of the pose. The gender of the person in the image is also discussed and a joking suggestion is made to use a magnet to remove the metal objects.

I can't see the attachment yet, but the word "extrapolating" sounds bad already...

This may help many of you to imagine what your children will look like...

He forgot to put in his color contacts. What a poseur.

There is enough polating as it is. We don't need extra polating.

Hey, I had to post something while waiting for the attachment to clear.

Thanks.
I have never understood this sort of thing. Doesn't that hurt?

I think it's male. Not completely sure tho.
Now. All of you with kids - repeat after me:
"I will NEVER complain about MY children again"
"I will NEVER complain about MY children again"
"I will NEVER complain about MY children again"...

Anybody have a magnet?
Related to Extrapolating current trends to the year 2015
1. What is extrapolation?
Extrapolation is the process of using existing data and trends to estimate future values or outcomes.
2. How accurate is extrapolation?
The accuracy of extrapolation depends on the quality and reliability of the data used and the assumptions made about future trends. It is important to carefully consider potential biases and limitations when using extrapolation to make predictions.
3. Can extrapolation be used to predict long-term trends?
While extrapolation can be useful for short-term predictions, it becomes less reliable as the time frame increases. Factors such as unexpected events and changing circumstances can significantly impact long-term trends.
4. What are the potential risks of relying on extrapolation for decision making?
Extrapolation can be risky as it assumes that current trends will continue in the future. However, external factors such as technological advancements, economic changes, and societal shifts can greatly impact the accuracy of extrapolated predictions.
5. How can scientists ensure the validity of extrapolated predictions?
To ensure the validity of extrapolated predictions, scientists should carefully evaluate the quality and reliability of the data used, consider potential biases and uncertainties, and use multiple methods of analysis to compare and validate results.
