The "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game is bullshit and always has been. These crazy bastards used data science to prove it: pudding.cool/2026/10/kevi...

The game started with a throwaway joke that was itself based on a play that took the idea from a short story that any two people can be connected in 6 steps. What's interesting to me is that the research shows all actors connected within 4 steps, which supports the original idea.
