[Title] "What Do You Call This Shape?" [A bell curve split into four regions, like a midwit meme]
Left tail: "Bell curve." "It look like bell." · Middle-left: "Normal distribution." "Aha! Like in… STATISTICS!" · Middle-right: "Gaussian." "It's just the 1D version." · Right tail (hooded sage): "Bell curve." "It look like bell."
