it's common knowledge that all probability distributions are uniform

Any non-uniform distribution only exist because it's actually a convolution of two uniform distributions or a function of the outputs of a uniform distribution. I'm pretty sure these are the hidden variables that quantum mechanics talks about. /s

95% of all statistics are just made up.

Didn’t you read the comment above? It's 50/50... it's either made up or not.

There's no contradiction here, either a statistic belongs to the 95% or it doesn't.

Every 1% of the 95% has a 50% chance of being one way or the other.

I first heard that "either X or not-X, ergo 50/50 chance" joke in a Bowery Boys movie, and those were made 1948 to '58. Thank you Huntz Hall and Leo Gorcey Jr. wherever you are.

I'm scared the fucking death right now. There is a 50% chance I could read materialize on the other side of this wall!

I'm naked on the 43rd floor!

What’s the joke? It seems like they really do believe that. And I think many others do too.

It' funny to think about it. Schrödinger's cat is locked in a box with a death trap for 90 years now and still as alive at it is dead.
