'Each day, a new survey is posted — something like "Do you like math?" or "Have you ever gone on a blind date?" 'At the end of the day, the results of the survey are compared with the results of all previous surveys, and the two outcomes with the strongest link are highlighted.' Insert face in palm. No. You cannot do this. Nearly all of the correlations found on this blog are pure noise. This is the data-science equivalent of staring at a cloud, noticing it looks like a balloon dog, and thinking "Jesus, why would anyone go to the trouble of making a cloud that looks like a balloon dog? Think of the engineering effort involved! Why isn't this in the news?" Google for "multiple comparison issues" and "Bonferroni correction" if you want more technical detail on how stupid this is.
