Amsterdam murder rate: extremely low

@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.
@tikitu @jmopp @0xabad1dea @navi i see teams from there regularly doing training sessions down the Weespertrekvart

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Simply make every tourist wear a mandatory life-vest at all times 🧠
@ClaireH @0xabad1dea why stop there? Mandatory hamster ball for every tourist.

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
Here in Denmark they paint the ladders out of the water orange and place a light over them - but I'm not aware of any statistics on how many drowned drunk men were found with their fly open.Maybe we have the wrong solution. I mean we can often learn from the Dutch, especially related to water.

@0xabad1dea Meanwhile England is only beginning to wake up to deaths by drowning because Brits don't understand that just because there's a body of water, it's not necessarily safe to swim in when you're boiling your skin off in yet another heatwave.
Especially if you don't actually know how to swim.

@0xabad1dea rest of the Netherlands feels like always half an hour walk to the nearest one

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange this is why we throw young children fully clothed into the pool and learn them to swim that way (no joke either)
@syn @0xabad1dea I've heard from probably multiple people that they never learnt because this was their first experience with water and they ended up too traumatized by it to ever learn...

@0xabad1dea Meanwhile, in Ireland after a rise in injuries and deaths involving e-scooters (most, it seems, involving other vehicles, though that doesn't seem to be reported as much), the establishment seems to have decided that they need harsher laws against e-scooter, e-bike users and cyclists in general.

@0xabad1dea Is a serious thing.But i can't stop laughing for some reason

@mbpaz @0xabad1dea surprisingly low because streets are designed for all types of traffic to interact (and therefore accidents happen at lower, less fatal speeds). As a cyclist I usually just go around these people just fine (though I will shout at them). Tram deaths are a thing though.
@Frantasaur @0xabad1dea I've been in Amsterdam maybe 15 times in the past 20 years and I am still surprised I've never been run over by a cyclist riding and carrying shopping bags in one hand and a phone in another hand and an umbrella in another hand (I'd swear they do)

@KeithWM the part where he ties his support rope to the public urinal is a nice touch

@syn @0xabad1dea i do indeed literally remember having to also swim fully clothed to get my first swimming diploma
@mianotapancake@void.lgbt @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange @syn@plasmatrap.com what a country…

@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 @beeoproblem omg yes people fell in a water feature because there were some red plants that are the exact shade of the bike lane
