Amsterdam murder rate: extremely low
Amsterdam drunk man attempts to relieve himself into canal, falls in, hits his head and drowns rate: extremely high
Plan your tourism accordingly.
This is not a joke, this is literally true. Amsterdam is probably the only place that has ever built more public toilets with the specific aim of reducing deaths by drowning.
@0xabad1dea This might not be a joke, but it is pretty funny anyway. I wish more American cities were this funny.

This correlates pretty well with my observations while visiting:"This is a party city? It must be one of the least comforting places to be chemically-impaired that I've ever willingly gone."
Lovely city, mind you! Just not somewhere that I'd want to be buzzed.

@0xabad1dea @navi At some point I would love to try kayaking to the office. Or at least as far as I can before I run into actual marine traffic
@jmopp @0xabad1dea @navi When I lived there I took rowing lessons at a public outfit at the Berlagebrug, I presume they’re still going. In winter with the short daylight hours you end up rowing through the canals at night, it’s utterly magical.

@jerrej um, okay, sure, whatever you say, internet stranger.

@ada It's low even by the standards of civilized countries.
But also, I'm American.

@Timo_Micro @NYSloth @0xabad1dea I remember there was this mission in Assassin's Creed Revelations where you had to teach your student to carry a dead body in broad daylight to the nearby wharf, then toss it in, all the while multiple fishermen were watching.

@0xabad1dea A country that's also serious when it comes to teaching kids to swim. The very first challenge in the national swimming diploma is to get out of the pool fully dressed.

@jmopp @0xabad1dea @navi I once met a guy in London who kayaked to work across the Thames every morning. He had a flat in Canary Wharf (he was some sort of finance guy, unsurprisingly) and his office was on the other side of the river. There's a bridge just up the road so he could've walked, but one day he decided to try kayaking it for a laugh and realised it was a really fun way to commute, so just kept doing it.

@gsuberland @jmopp @0xabad1dea honestly, this is probably the kind of activity a finance guy must do in order not to completely lose his fucking mind

@navi @gsuberland @jmopp @0xabad1dea I worked at a place a few miles outside Cambridge (England, UK) that was right on the river, and it had its own canoe dock for all the people who'd canoe into work every day!

@0xabad1dea is it the canals in Amsterdam that are sometimes covered in plants that make them look like solid ground instead of water?

@beeoproblem that usually doesn't happen in central Amsterdam because the water needs to be pretty still to get that much growth. You're probably thinking of a specific canal in central Utrecht that does have this problem

@0xabad1dea
Common enough incident in Finland about folks drowning with their fly open that there's yearly jokes about it.
One of the more humiliating ways to go.
