Wanna know how the numbers change for “Other Humans” when deaths due to car collisions are included? It gets 1.35 million added to it, and those were 2016 numbers.
Automobile drivers are by far the most deadly animal, blowing mosquitoes completely out of the water!
What a fucking joke of a statistic.
To the 400k you should add 1.2-1.4 million traffic deaths, 700k suicides, and we are not even talking about the deaths from armed conflicts, that climbed over 200k due to the war in Ukraine.
Dog and mosquitoes get to have spreading disease added but human didn’t get to have manslaughter and war added. So basically mosquitoes kill are 100% unintentional, very much like the pedestrian getting killed by automobile, but mosquitoes get blamed for it but human doesn’t.
Very fair, much wow.
Tbf, it should include spreading deadly diseases of humans among other humans too.
Assassin bug has some rookie numbers with a name like that
Assassin bugs only kill for money. Mosquitos do it because they’re out for blood.
Homicides only, because if you included suicide, that alone would be #1.
Technically, that should be clear, as suicide, by definition, is committed by the victim themself and not by an ‘other human’.
Around 1 million traffic deaths worldwide annually? And we never count those who were merely crippled
Don’t forget all the accidents that leave people with life-changing brain injuries too. There are a lot of them.
Technically, a lot of traffic deaths aren’t by “other humans” but by “rapidly becoming stationary”
Damn you Newton! Stop inventing Physics you murderer!
And the other part is by “rapidly being accelerated from state at rest”.
Some of it is likely due to sudden compression or “rapid unplanned disassembly “
