To me this is probably one of the original memes. It was parodied by Family Guy, Arrested Development and I’ve seen it elsewhere as well.
Apple has a page up outlining what each area collects and shares: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-privacy-details/#data-type
Apple lists the following:
“Such as racial or ethnic data, sexual orientation, pregnancy or childbirth information, disability, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, political opinion, genetic information, or biometric data”
Biometric data is a bit scary.
Depends how they are delivered. Social media posts are bad because they look like posts (with a tiny “promoted” badge somewhere) so those get me for a split second.
But I’m an avoid ad at all costs kinda person.
“Meteorologists aren’t in agreement on how to measure the Probability of Precipitation, aka that little percentage of rain on your weather app. Some use a formula for it — PoP = C x A, where C stands for confidence and A stands for area. So if there’s a 50% chance of rain in 80% of a given area, your probability of rain becomes 40%.
More commonly, meteorologists measure PoP as the chance of rain at any given point in the area they cover during a certain period of time. This is the definition closest to the official definition from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).”

It’s likely Apple does something unique in how they calculate their percentages. It could legit be a fault in how they source their weather data but knowing more about the actual equation might be helpful in seeing if everyone is actually measuring the same thing, the same way.
Twitter struggled with the same dilemma. I think at one point they had about a 1% retention rate.
Honestly I don’t even know why Meta made Threads. Seems more like another bad call from Zuck than a real service 🤷♂️
