Print prediction theory...

I'm testing a new print prediction theory to see if it yields any meaningful results. It's entirely unbiased and is not based upon score (although many of the subs in question are high scoring). Nor is it based upon any personal preference of mine, or intuition. It's marginally scientific in the sense that the resulting list is generated completely by recording a specific anomaly, which may or may not be credible (hence the test).

So when are you going to tell us what the specific anomaly is?
Or are you going to keep it to yourself and use it to your own evil advantage?

jeffreyg on Nov 07 '11 at 5:43pm

i kno what some of this specific anomaly is..

shirtflirt on Nov 07 '11 at 5:47pm

i kno jeffrey is not being honest...

I'll publish a paper as soon as I've collected more data. I will say that the anomaly did predict every one of my prints (including collabs) but I need more than just anecdotal evidence. :P

The Paper Crane on Nov 07 '11 at 5:56pm

Fascinating!
I look forward to reading it :D

If what you are saying is true

the very foundation of all we know

is
surely
crumbling.

dandingeroz on Nov 07 '11 at 9:25pm

watched!

FlyingMonkeyMan on Nov 07 '11 at 10:05pm

The anomaly has made more predictions! Admittedly, most of them aren't that surprising since they got very high scores.

I'm excited to see what this anomaly is.

*strokes nonexistent goatee*

Chengui on Nov 08 '11 at 4:15pm

intrigued...

opifan64 on Nov 08 '11 at 5:44pm

Caddywompus on Nov 08 '11 at 6:01pm

The answer is so obvious...

nathanwpyle at gmail.com on Nov 08 '11 at 6:20pm

Haha. I love a mystery! I do recognize most if not all of these from the threadless tumblr account.

But it could be an illusory correlation.

opifan64 on Nov 08 '11 at 6:24pm

I've never visited the threadless tumbler. My work is done in the lonely, forgotten trenches where the anomaly lurks in silence.

L-M-N-O-P on Nov 08 '11 at 6:27pm

The suspense is killing me.

ginetteginette on Nov 08 '11 at 6:28pm

hmmmmmmmmmm

Lahar on Nov 08 '11 at 6:43pm

Don't. You. DARE. Tease me with Oompaball.

soloyo on Nov 08 '11 at 6:46pm

I do think your predictions are 99% accurate

Chengui on Nov 08 '11 at 7:14pm

I've had stuff featured on the tumblr that wasn't picked though...

italiux on Nov 08 '11 at 7:19pm

i cannot sleep anymore! damn u blog, damn u!!!

GyleDesigns on Nov 08 '11 at 7:37pm

Sometimes I get the word "Anomaly" and "Anemone" confused.

So I'm like "why is there an underwater invertebrate in all this threadscience?"

But I got it now.

FRICKINAWESOME on Nov 08 '11 at 8:01pm

I think i figured it out..

it's the designs with words in the title, right?

opifan64 on Nov 08 '11 at 9:05pm

L-M-N-O-P on Nov 08 '11 at 6:27pm
The suspense is killing me.

Jeremy, you may be interested to know that the anomaly predicted your first two prints with an extraordinary degree of accuracy.

Here's a bunch more predictions, although quite a few were taken from the farthest reaches of the anomaly where the effect may be weaker (like gravity).

Adhesive Hippo on Nov 08 '11 at 10:09pm

Certainly interesting. Which ones of your predictions have been wrong, and have you figured out why?

opifan64 on Nov 08 '11 at 10:30pm

So far the theory is just in the testing stages. The designs I posted are the only predictions generated by the theory, other than my own designs, so only time will tell if the system holds any water.

Ste7en on Nov 08 '11 at 11:07pm

well I for one am in favor of this theory being true

robber ducky on Nov 09 '11 at 1:56am

Good choices. I'm pretty sure at least one of these won't be printed by Threadless. Woot!

This was already printed as a 12 club this summer.

the Code

it's all there man

Naolito on Nov 09 '11 at 7:27am

uhm...

soloyo on Nov 09 '11 at 7:33am

I think the code excludes the words SOLOYO

squintygirl on Nov 09 '11 at 7:49am

Very interesting, very interesting, indeed.

Leroy_Hornblower on Nov 09 '11 at 7:59am

This isn't getting printed.

opifan64 on Nov 09 '11 at 8:26am

Hmm... the anomaly is becoming unstable.

opifan64 on Nov 09 '11 at 8:57am

My god... it's full of stars.

Tonteau on Nov 09 '11 at 9:00am

None of mine are in here so I'd say this theory is pretty solid.

Musarter on Nov 09 '11 at 9:12am

^that, but about my designs. It must be 100% correct.

Sure hope Charity's design prints.

opifan64 on Nov 09 '11 at 9:37am

None of mine are either. Bummer.

Thomas Orrow on Nov 09 '11 at 9:51am

Oh man, I don't even get into the pretend print section FML.

I like that polo by mm, but I think Rossmat and I'vejustquitsmoking did that exact same design before.... just sayin'.

Thomas Orrow on Nov 09 '11 at 9:55am

I predict Playing role, jungle book, Them Birds, 8 bit vendetta , Houndstooth, Marshmallow joust and Year of the Panda to print.

Thomas Orrow on Nov 09 '11 at 9:57am

Er,,,,or all of them, as you can guess from Threadless live.

opifan64 on Nov 09 '11 at 10:10am

What's threadless live?

Thomas Orrow on Nov 09 '11 at 10:12am

Naolito on Nov 09 '11 at 10:25am

Your prediction about mine is right! :)

opifan64 on Nov 09 '11 at 10:35am
