      This is the only correct answer. Cars kill so many people it’s absurd.

      Almost got hit today by two separate dipshits not paying attention and/or having zero awareness about the size of the dumbass large trucks they were driving.

      Edit: forgot a word.

    The top three causes of preventable fatal injury in the US are:

    1. poisoning (including drug overdoses)
    2. motor vehicles
    3. falls

    We might generalize these to:

    1. chemistry
    2. engineering
    3. physics

      The third is more gravity than physics, or perhaps you should consider it the absence of gravity.

      What I’m trying to say is: stop following geodesics.

    Swimming pools, with kids in the house. More dangerous than owning a gun:

    Gas stoves. Disasters waiting to happen with people sometimes forgetting to turn them off.

      You know, it boggles my mind why stoves in some countries don’t come with thermoswitch. The decades old ones here come with it here. Either fire keeps the valve open via this thermoswitch or if fire goes out gas valve is shut off. Danger gone.
