I averaged data from 2016 to 2022. What am I cherry picking?

Airplanes aren't as safe as trains!

In the US, air travel is safer by an order of magnitude. According to the National Safety Council, scheduled airlines have a passenger fatality rate per 100,000,000 miles of 0.001 while rail has a fatality rate of 0.025. Hell, busses are safer with a fatality rate of 0.0066.

I'm sure rail safety is probably better in Europe and Japan since they have better rail infrastructure and more passengers.

A /r/dataisbeautiful post from several years ago also shows a similar story.

I never squash spiders. They're either my buddies and they catch insects that get into the house, or they're entirely too large to squash; they'd make a mess. If my wife sees a spider and gets scared, I put it outside. It helps that there are no (common) venomous spiders where I live.

Mosquitos, crane flies, flies, and wasps are all fair game though.

Ya know, the Kennedy's haven't had too much luck with their noggins.

Shot in the head, shot in the head, lobotomy, brain cancer, brain worms, etc.

H5N1 has a 90% to 100% fatality rate in chickens according to the CDC. Either the chickens are killed by farmers before the virus spreads more, or the virus will kill the chickens.

For some reason "dildo" is way funnier than "you dildo". Thanks for the laugh

~~Trader Joe's is a subsidiary of Aldi. I'm not sure how that relationship works in regards to labor relations, but if this person wants to avoid Trader Joe's for moral reasons, they might want to avoid Aldi too. ~~

I was wrong, they're different companies that split from the same original company. Thanks for the corrections.

There's no way it's intentional. If you're not familiar with the phrase "white power" in a racist context, the product description is perfectly accurate and reasonable. It took me a few seconds to figure out the problem, so if someone is unfamiliar then there's no way they'll identify the problem.

You got fries? We got green bananas, dry bread, chicken sandwiches (bread, dry "chicken", bread, and nothing else) and a thimble of juice.

I would assume the older washing machines with a big metal or plastic agitator in the drum would be much, much harder on clothes than modern front loading washers. Modern washers just toss the clothes around to agitate, rather than using a big hunk of material to do it. That being said, I think some modern washers run longer cycles than old ones, so it could be a toss up as to which causes the most wear.

I'm using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) with a 3070. I have absolutely zero issues.

How is improving the specs of a standard a scam? It's not like a phone that entices people to buy them with new "features" of questionable utility. Cables are boring! Most people don't buy HDMI cables for fun; they probably only buy them when they get a new device or when an existing cable dies. And even then, who is going to shell out for an expensive version of a cable that they won't utilize its capabilities? Most people buy whatever is cheapest.
