Question

Which type of logical fallacy is shown in the following example?

Every time I get my car washed it rains, which means that if I don't want it to rain I should keep my car unwashed.

Answer 1

Answer:

One of the most common examples of this fallacy is Post hoc, ergo propter hoc: "After this, therefore because of this." The fallacy arises from the assumption that because something happened after something else, there is a causal relationship. Every time I wash my car it rains. So washing my car makes it rain.
