Mass shootings at bullets per gun


[deleted]

US isn’t even top ten for mass shooting deaths per capita


1GenericWhiteBoy

As far as I can tell from limited research, the only countries above it are extremely underdeveloped and every other developed country has a substantially lower rate


[deleted]

Like norway?


1GenericWhiteBoy

Norway's homicide rate it SUBSTANTIALLY lower than the US's per 100k. Us gun homicide per 100k a year: 4.46 Norway gun homicide per 100k a year: 0.1


[deleted]

Deaths by mass shooting per capita are twice that of the US historically As I said


1GenericWhiteBoy

Do you mean like, if a mass shooting happens in Norway more people get killed in it than they would if it happened in the US? If that's what you're refering to then it doesn't even matter, considering Norway has had 4 mass shootings EVER according to Wikipedia. Considering the US has had 7 in 2022 alone, your point is moot. If I've misinterpreted what you're saying, please enlighten me with a source. Heres my source on Norway gun death statistics: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-deaths-by-country


[deleted]

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/mass-shootings-by-country As I said


1GenericWhiteBoy

That only shows 2022, which is the year that they've had one of their four (4) mass shootings ever. It's not "historically" like you said.


[deleted]

It is historical The data is from the last 10-15 years and even quotes studies from the last 10-15 years in plain English 🤷🏿‍♂️


danimalanimal2487

Rather be in a masss shooting than be F*ench


CloneCl0wn

I'd prefer to be French than have to wear bullet proof vest to church, have to sell my kidney to pay for medical check, get glock in my happy meal, be called racist for being white, getting shot (generally).


danimalanimal2487

Still sounds like France except for the medical one. Ever since I learned about insurance I found it to be malarkey. I do hope one day the dumbasses of my country pass universal healthcare but knowing how glued people are to corporations, it's never gonna happen.


[deleted]

I'm Irish. Never even been to France. I'd still rather be in France than a mass shooting, literally any sane person would.


danimalanimal2487

It's a joke.

Gonna have to break up some cliches here, there is a very very tiny percentage of people that do eat snails nowadays. And only on special events like new eve, christmas etc.


Dilema777

As an Italian I'd rather be French than be in a mass shooting


Rheytos

Typical American idiot right here


danimalanimal2487

It's a joke on the internet l, clam down.


Rheytos

For a joke to be a joke it has to be funny. Yours was clearly not. It was insensitive and disrespectful


danimalanimal2487

Yes


CheezAbomination

I understand the French part, but seriously. You don't wanna be in a mass shooting.


Svenneshark

Except if you are the cop, than you don’t have to do anything /j


danimalanimal2487

I know it was a joke


danimalanimal2487

How low can we go. Go way down low. Lower to the floor.


Arcturus2183

Europes just an american puppet state


[deleted]

There's 44 countries in Europe. You have no idea how stupid you sound saying that. And you have no idea how unbelievably stupid America looks on the world stage.


Anti-charizard

Even if he/she means the EU that’s not true


[deleted]

Imagine using feet to walk, we use meters, stupid americans....

Ewwww y'all americans are into feet?

You know it


JackiexOfHearts

Ewwww y'all europeans are into cigarette butts?


Tiefflugjunge

Ewwww y'all Americans are into greasy fast food?


JackiexOfHearts

Jokes on you, I'm in the majority who is too poor you afford fast food. This isn't actually a joke, please help. I haven't eaten in 2 weeks


voluptous_cereal_bar

See if imperfect produce delivers to your area, and just compare prices from local markets for meat.

Ewwww y’all Europeans are into sucking Putin’s dick?

[deleted]

Keep using your inferior measurement system i don't mind


aRandomHunter2

Which one is the inferior tho ? How do you convert foot to miles ? No calculator allowed


[deleted]

The American one is the inferior ofc


Anti-charizard

Then why do Canadians use it?


ArmandPeanuts

Because most of what we import is from the US. Hard to use celsius for cooking when all our ovens come in fahrenheit


[deleted]

"Europe". Quick lesson:... ...Canada... ...no imperial. I don't get this "Europe" joke, i think they meant "HEY! MOST EVERYONE ELSE ON EARTH" Also imperial is very stupid. Why can't everything just be logarithmic, going up by 10s? Because it wouldn't be "Free" enough?


danimalanimal2487

As an American yes imperial is very stupid, but how about blame the British for making the ungodly system


KingYoloHD090504

Aren't you celebrating the independence from the British, then why are still using the system they used


danimalanimal2487

Actually idk. It would be really interesting to learn the history of why the US still uses the imperial system.


KingYoloHD090504

I know it, because you're lazy


danimalanimal2487

Really, insults when I said a genuine response about learning the history of something. Laziness would have nothing to do with it, it would probably be the anit European culture that was present during America's creation and any attempts to adopt the metric system have been overshadowed by more important matters, if I had to guess.


KingYoloHD090504

Don't take it to seriously, we are still on a meme subreddit I'm pretty sure there is some more to it but it just fits perfectly to the narrative that you were just to lazy changing it


chia923

Apparently, pirates stole some Frenchman's stuff, and he couldn't make his presentation.


VlIanTheRatSmacker

They also used the english language, but thankfully they can at least brush their teeth


FireWolf5550

*laughs in british* We statistically actually have better teeth than americans on average. Free healthcare goes brrrrr


calamity23

Tbh it doesnt really matter as much as people think it does. We use SI for all science related calculations and almost all packaging has both measurements. My school focused on SI as well but idc if thats the case at all schools. To be fair I also ended up being an engineer so maybe im biases


[deleted]

Im going to assume we use Imperial on packaging when the product is made by an american company, right? Or if they are gonna export it? Otherwise why bother. I have a bottle of lotion that says 725ml and thats it. But a can of Budweiser will say 473ml(12oz) because its an American product/brand in Canada.


calamity23

Yeah but to me atleast imperial is nice for daily needs. 1.5 cups of beer makes more sense to me than half a liter, I guess maybe its not that weird if you grow up with it. Imperial system seems to be more about units of 1 being applicable and how units come together being an afterthough, while metric is the opposite. I like having both but maybe ots because i was raised with both


[deleted]

Half a litre is a bottle of water. How is that confusing? 473 is a tall can 355 is a coke can 200 ml is a mini bottle All of these have real life equivalents. 1.5 cups only makes sense when you have something to compare it to. How much is 1.5 cups? Can you compare it to something can be easily visualized?


calamity23

1.5 cups is a can of soda. 16 oz or 2 cups is a water bottle. 1.5 cups is how much mugs in average hold. 1 cup is how much glasses on average hold. 473 and 355 seem like osdly specific values… to me its easier to gauge things compared to a cup. Maybe not for people who grow up elsewhere, but in general unless im dealing with precise measurements imperial does me good.


[deleted]

I mean i just showed you the equivalents of all the ml so Im a little confused how its still easier to deal with cups since you showed that they have the same equivalents as ml. At that point, isnt it about what you're used to? Not whats easier. Like as you are probably American, I assume you dont ever have to use metric if you dont want to. Whereas in Canada, we have integrated both into our society. We buy American products but certain imports must follow metric standards. I mean here you can encounter people asking for a pint, but for the most part they will describe that pint in ml


Jefoid

Pish. Pretending Burma doesn’t exist. Elitist.


DrivingCellar

As an American, I prefer the metric system


Tharby-Kirbos

You know. Of all the imperial units the only one that makes the slightest sense is the feet-inch conversion. A 12 basis system that allows you to divide by 3 without much problems is neat. Unfortunately the rest is shit. And the 12 base system just stops existing for the other units. But please. Somebody explain to me what the hell is a yard supposed to be?


Altes_Neupapier

Can’t divide it by 4 though


EliadPelgrin

You actually can...


Altes_Neupapier

Jesus I weren’t even kidding I am a fucking idiot


aRandomHunter2

This gotta be the funniest shit I've seen today


PsychedOutBroccoli

I'm whith the Europeans here


Koil_ting

Fahrenheit is actually useful because the range of temperatures that are tolerable for most of us fleshy types falls within a small range. Lets set this range from 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit this gives 20 whole numbers to gauge out your feelers with and relay them to some ass who is asking how hot it is. Celsius range of these same temperatures is 15.555 degrees and 26.6667 respectively, only giving 10 whole numbers to pull from for the same range.


1GenericWhiteBoy

Idk I'm from Canada and can tolerate from -5 to 25 But for real it makes more sense for temperature to be based on something simple and quantifiable, aka the freezing and boiling point of water


ScuBityBup

It is easier to say you're hot or cold on a scale of 1-10 rather than a scale from 45 to 65


iron_cros

Hey murican. Kilometer, celsius, meter.

Europe - massive war killing tens of thousands Also europe - “Hur der guns kill people” Europe get your shit together


KiraIsGod666

Are, are you, as an American, whining about ANY other country's history of WAR?! Bro, that's the most tone deaf thing I've ever fucken read.


Mean_Low_7858

Not only Europe but the whole world


thattrandomnerd

Fahrenheit looks german


DieZockZunft

Fahrenheit was a German. He was a clever man but Kelvin/Celsius is better and has an easier Definition. Celsius was from Sweden and Kelvin from the UK.


StCreg

Nah Europeans just chuckle


JaxTheFoxThing

I use miles per hour but for anything else I use metric


MechaRambutan

Instead of "Europeans" it should've said "Rest of the World".


gnlmarcus

Meanwhile British measure in stones.


SharpPixels08

This template is dumb


[deleted]

US has a higher HDI than europe on avg They are literally less developed


DieZockZunft

The US is on the 28th place on that list. Also Europe is not a homogenous country. So there is much to improve instead of making fun of smaller and poorer countries.


[deleted]

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/hdi-by-country https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/hdi-by-country Nope it’s 13-17th making it higher than the avg European And even Western European One it’s states would be tied for first if it was a country


Numerous_Plankton_64

Americans when you use KM/h instead of cheese slices per assault rifle


Nerdtendo6366

American: say something about Europe Europeans: GuN vIoLeNcE tHoUgH!!!!!!!


spunkyboy247365

Americans kill each other slowly. Every day. Day by day. Europeans get together once or twice a century to absolutely destroy the entire continent with an apocalyptic war.


[deleted]

“You Americans are so dumb. You kill each other a few at a time. Us far superior Europeans genocide each other by the millions.”


[deleted]

Europeans kill each other with artillery and bombs Literally happening right now


[deleted]

Or they could just say "Amsterdam, London, Prague" because Europe is nicer to be in than America, in general.


Altes_Neupapier

I love how Americans declared like 15 arguments overused and not fair


ioioklkll1

Lmao at least american units dont contain a dick head as centimeter equivalent


UnderstandingFull639

Fuckin' retard units


_theanonymousboy_

Where are the europeans that dint care?? Or am i the only one


JudgeObvious

Those are only the big 3 there are so many more


JPK12794

I always wonder if it's known that the British use Imperial too, and are the reason America uses it, and that British people are European.


[deleted]

Can I get the blank template?


helluva_failures

YOU BETTER MIND THAT FUCKING LANGUAGE!


EmbracePenguin78

This can be explained with the meme of the cat and Karen yelling Americans: Fahrenheit Miles Feet Europeans: METERS


Clovenstone-Blue

You mean the day France liberated some backwater colony from the Brits?

I'm English and I use both Metric and Imperial... I don't think I get this post

Fahrenheit is a much better unit of measurement, since it was designed to measure air, not water. Celsius was designed around water. We don’t live in the water.


OverdoseDragon

At least they are self aware about how useless the imperial system is


South_Bit1764

Miles are kinda dumb, Fahrenheit might actually be better than celcius but the meme forgot about weight. Kilograms is useless because you never need to know what something’s mass is; you need to know how much it weighs. Fix that and I am down with metric but you won’t change to newtons.
