Twice as many people die in car accidents *every day*.

@shriramk Yes, but not all in the same car.

@shriramk @GreenSkyOverMe May I ask where did you get your number and which country it applies to?
Also may I ask you to not to manipulate data?
Wikipedia states that in 2022 1759 died in Spain in traffic related accidents which is about 5 people per day. 5 ≠ 39
@xgebi Oh thx!

China had in 2021 either 250.000 or 62.000 depending on who you ask. So 685 p/d vs 170 p/d.

@PeterLudemann @shriramk Instead of crashes, we should really be talking about sharks. Do people even realize how much national news coverage is given to shark attacks (and occasionally coyotes)? Am I the only one who notices?!?
More sharks! And they attacked! https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/sydney-beaches-close-after-three-shark-attacks-two-days-2026-01-19/

@xgebi
My alt text contains the full links to my sources.I was comparing to US car deaths because this is from a US newspaper. That is *a* reasonable point of comparison: what does the US paper choose to report, or even what it contextualizes (e.g., it could have put that Spanish number in context, whether in Spain or the US).
And finally, it is better to ask questions first and confirm the facts before accusing someone of something as extreme as "manipulat[ing] data".
