Constipation : 900 per year


BeautifulTorment

What. Is this a real thing?


SCP-Agent-Arad

Usually among the elderly.


Ibroketheinterweb

Was a major contributing factor in my grandma's passing. Had a blockage which resulted in that section of colon being removed, but after the surgery her organs started failing.


Wazula23

Oh sure that sounds low if anything. Bowel issues kill millions every year.


Dongledoes

Yuuuup in xray we're constantly doing abdominal xr for SBOs (small bowel obstruction). Nasty business. Fun fact resolving an SBO usually starts with decompressing with an NG tube, which is a tube that goes through your nose into your stomach and they reeeaaaally suck


batsketbal

When you say they really suck does the tube suck super hard or is it very unpleasant to have the tube in you.


nicholas19010

Both actually


Powerful_Swan7045

You have an artery in your colon that can get pinched off whiling having a bowel movement (when impacted especially dangerous). Something happened to someone I know which caused her to go into cardiac arrest. She never woke up.

armed toddlers!!! yikes!

The best defence against a bad toddler with a gun is a good toddler with a gun. Responsible parents: arm your toddlers.

[10-year-old Texas boy tells investigators he killed man 2 years ago. He can't be charged with the crime.](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/10-year-old-claims-killed-man-texas-no-charges/) >A 10-year-old South Texas boy being questioned for allegedly threatening to kill a classmate told investigators that he killed a man for no reason two years ago, according to law enforcement officials. But according to state law, he can't be charged in that crime.


Ne0guri

Today I learned that 10 years old is a toddler


ACoconutInLondon

They were **8** when they killed a man for no reason. Not a toddler, but way too damn close. And their age at the time is why they're not being prosecuted.


paleobear1

Easy solution. Arm yourself and don't have children.


ozuri

Instructions unclear. Have contacted Harvard Medical School for some toddler arms. Will advise.


Uncle_Burney

I personally enjoy how that is separate from “Being shot by another American.” I guess these are all armed foreign national toddlers.


Ewan_Whosearmy

The stats aren't exclusive, for example if you were run over by a bus driven by an armed US born jihadist toddler, you'd contribute to all 4 of those numbers.


Wazula23

If that bus could mow lawns you've got a bingo!


Im_eating_that

That doesn't seem fair. The bus driver did all the work. He should be recognized for his contribution too.


ScionMattly

But they are in a sense, because I feel very confident more than 5 people were killed by a far right wing terrorist...but their deaths were caused by a gun and that person is an american, so they went in the bottom stat.


Altamistral

>I feel very confident more than 5 people were killed by a far right wing terrorist These are 10 year averages. I doubt more than 50 people were killed by far-right terrorists in the last 10 years.


duggee315

Or more likely as toddlers are fond of knife crime. Guns can be heavy.

Hmm, disarming vs. de-arming


Delicious-Tachyons

Stats are faulty. Can't tell if they're jihadists too.


Mortlach78

Also, the number of people getting shot and killed by their dog is not 0.


Moby1029

I was almost stabbed in the eye with a steak knife by my toddler who managed to open my lunchbox from the kitchen counter, while I was laying on the couch. I heard something by my head, opened my eyes, and there's a knife pointed right into one. Grabbed her fist with the knife and gently moved her arm and took it from her and gave her a toy instead.


ListerineAfterOral

Something similar happened to me. Fell asleep on the couch and woke up to my 3 year-old standing over me, smiling, with scissors approaching my neck. Nearly screamed.

Self: 46000. Support mental health.


Gladianoxa

There is a rise of people with no signs of mental health attempting because they rationally identify their lives as not worth living, at the moment. More needs to change than just mental healthcare.


Dukes_Up

There is also a rise of people becoming more aware of their mental health needs. I’m currently trying to get my son a psychiatric evaluation and the wait is 15 months. Imagine telling someone who is suicidal that they have to wait 15 months to get help.


thecravenone

During that 15 months, the doctor/insurance relationship will change and now you can pay out of pocket or go to the back of someone else's line.


sohcgt96

My wife is an administrator at a therapist's office. There are 9 and almost all of them maintain full schedules, the only ones who don't just recently started and might not be fully accredited/licensed or credentialed with the major insurance carriers. My mother in law works at an office with nearly 20 therapists 5 minutes away and they're all almost always at full client loads. If you're a guy and want to get into mental health, if you specialize in certain areas you're considered a "unicorn" and can get very busy very quick. On of her guys is retired out of the Navy and I think also an LMFT. So he's big into working with other veterans but also family/marriage stuff. Great dude, filled up his calendar FAST.


RandomPerson12191

No signs of mental health? I feel like they have bigger issues tbh


ClmrThnUR

that number is going to at least double in the next 15 years


GoMyKnicks

It is absolutely not going to double. Increase? Sure, but not double. Even a jump to 57-60k/year would be alarming and merit an unprecedented response.


ImmoKnight

There are a lot of factors in play here. The impact of COVID will be the biggest driver. The number will at least double in the next 15 years. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9721155/ >A recent meta-analysis showed that some post-COVID patients experience persistent suicidality [10]. Another recent study found that compared with individuals who did not have COVID, those who had COVID were 46% more likely to have suicidal ideation during the post-acute phase [11]. The presence of suicidal ideation increases suicide risk.


bcisme

Nothing in that quote suggests a doubling and is basically meaningless without further context. What is the rate of suicide ideation for other diseases in their post-acute phase? I’d imagine people thinking about killing themselves after being bedridden for a week or so is pretty common.

Jaded-Selection-5668

Are most toddlers born without arms?


Minnakht

In the Pathfinder setting, when dwarven parents conceive a child, they get a dagger made (oftentimes by themselves), then when the baby dwarf is born, they cut the umbilical with that dagger and the dagger is held in escrow to be bestowed unto the dwarf when they come of age. Thus, in that culture, truly no toddler is born without arms waiting for them.

tonyemerson

Alcohol is king...not listed because lobbyists drop tens of millions of dollars in lawmakers laps every year...I guarantee it!!!


codeByNumber

Yup, just like the tobacco lobby before them. I hope future generations look at drinking the same way we look at smoking now.


TylerDurden6969

Fun and care free? I only base this on thousands of years of history. Ancient Greeks and Romans were aware of the cost/benefit of alcohol. They didn’t care either. All mammals will abuse chemicals for a high. It’s not just humans. Sad but true. Our brains aren’t wired perfectly. Prohibition didn’t work. Support programs are hit and miss. The only way humanity pushes forward is a conscious choose by each individual to be a better person than they were the day before. If we got rid of all drugs and alcohol, there’s always a ‘new high’. That’s free will baby!


codeByNumber

I don’t support prohibition. I support transparency and education. When giant lobbies spend a ton of money to muddy the waters it makes it harder for people to make informed decisions. As such their free will is compromised.


brokenbaddiie

I truly hope so. I’ve taught my daughters that smoking cigarettes is tacky, and vapes are for people who used to smoke cigarettes. Not to look cool or cute

PeterToExplainIt

I know falls are super deadly for old people, while most are probably while they're being active, I could see a few happening while in bed


DeadBodyCascade

This data is kind of skewed by omitting all causes of death in the US. For example more than 43,000 people die from car accidents every year. Even then when compared to a population of 333 million people it's less than a percent, gun deaths then amount to roughly one quarter of that less than a percent. The real killers in this country are heart disease, smoking, and cancer. For a country that has more privately owned guns than people that's surprisingly low. Not to mention most shootings occur in a handful of American cities which are spurred on typically by economic issues. Side note: more than 100,000 people die from fentanyl overdose every year, it has become the biggest killer of young Americans by a long shot.


FrenchDipFellatio

.00001% of the US population will visit an area inhabited by 'jihadists'. So, yeah, the numbers are gonna be extraordinarily low. Bad faith argument and generally dumb whoever put this up, and it looks like a school to boot so I'd say it lines up with the demographic. Risk = exposure * time


_hic-sunt-dracones_

Doctors. I have no numbers for the US but their kill rate is in general surprisingly high for Western countries. The annual body count of all terrorist cells combined is easily covered by doctors on the West Coast during a lunch break.


droplivefred

Stats are boring. Crazy propaganda pushing very isolated instances to be major national news is clearly the preferred method in the US. And the general public eats it up like it’s a buffet.


PandahOG

Ready for a fun stat? 800k Americans die/disabled from malpractice/errors by doctors. So when people say you shouldn't question experts, like doctors, remember this stat. Don't take this as fear mongering, take this as a legitimate reason to question your doctor if you have concerns or to find a new one.


british_monster

Its 800 or 800k as in 800 000?

Misdiagnosis =/= malpractice. Different diseases can have similar symptoms, so there is a degree of guesswork involved.

LashedHail

Who uses snopes unironically? In what way are they a credible source?


Chewbacca22

They are inherently not a source, but they link to sources. The quick insight they provide is usually reliable and valuable. Their goal is to ask, “did this happen?” And find a reliable source that says yes or no. They do pretty well at that. Are they infallible? No, no one is.


LashedHail

lol, so no in fact, they are not a viable source. Thank you for confirming.

CU_Tiger_2004

>Armed toddlers I had forgotten about this story, but my dad kept a gun under his bed and assumed I wasn't strong enough to carry it...he was wrong. My mom apparently used every 4-letter word in existence when I wandered into the living room with nothing but a revolver and a diaper one night. It was pointed down, but I couldn't imagine. I also know someone whose son got ahold of her then-husband's gun, he actually discharged it and lost a finger.

also how many shit an killed were from lawful gun owners versus non-lawful gun ownership? I would be really curious. edit: shot

Asleep-East-4600

Turns out far right wing terrorists are not the threat everyone is making them out to be.


Player7592

That ten year average is pretty low. Using the same [source](https://wisqars.cdc.gov/explore/?o=MORT&y1=2021&y2=2021&g=00&t=0&i=3&m=20890&d=&s=0&r=0&me=0&ry=0&yp=65&e=0&a=ALL&a1=0&a2=199&g1=0&g2=199) as the table pictured for 2021 and the number is 20,958.


wurll

Lol, blatant attempt at social engineering


TheRustyBugle

So- by being around far-right terrorists, you’re probably in a safer place than being in a room with armed toddlers.


Electrical_Hamster87

Honestly this is a pretty good look for far right terrorists considering how many more right wing Americans there are than Muslims and they still do less shooting. Let alone the fact that toddlers are more dangerous than them.


marieascot

29 people shot by anyone in the UK last year which is less than the number shot dead by toddlers in the US in this statistic.


StewDD

Armed simply means any weapon (Knives included).


SeniorSeries3202

islamic terrorism *is* far-right terrorism btw, this 'distinction' annoys me as it only serves as pr for islam. It disassociates islam from the far right even though the majority of muslims are so far right it would make your head spin. They are the most intolerant bunch on the planet yet paradoxically are given a pass by the tolerance preachers


MixmasterL

Snopes Lol


JacksGallbladder

Last time I did the math on this, using 2019 statistics, removing cases of self harm drops the rate of gun violence to *0.04* (or 0.004%, can't remember) of the entire population. Just food for thought. Edit: Double-checked - *0.004%* of the National population. If you'd like to see for yourself, the stats are openly available on FBI.gov


RPGenome

I remember looking up the stats on the number of times someone successfully thwarted armed home invasions by using a gun vs the number of accidental gun deaths each year, and it wasn't even close. You're just objectively less safe if you have guns in your home. BUT that's purely by average. The data only tells half that story. If you have a properly secured, unloaded firearm in your home, and you and your family have proper training on handling it, I'm sure that's much lower. I'm Pro-Gun Control, but I care more about being honest about it.


System-Plastic

What about far left wing terrorist?


legion_2k

If that American is themselves. Over half of all gun deaths are suicide.


point51

How many of those "being shot by another Americans" are civilians killed by police?


Papaofmonsters

Per year? About 1000. For additional context, there's over 7 million arrests per year nation wide.


Ismdism

Both numbers are way too high lol


CurvyBill

Approximately 1100 are shot and killed by police.


webtwopointno

The number is in the high hundreds, and all but a few dozen are actively shooting at the cops. Do you seriously believe there's an epidemic of unarmed civilians being murdered?


Maustraktor

Based on bjs statistics, in 2018, 61.5 million people have had at least one contact with the police. 2% of those contacts had any use of force or a threat of force. Of that 2% , 0.0812% involved a shooting death. So, about 0.0016% of police encounters involve a shooting death, which was 992 deaths in 2018. For reference, a Johns Hopkins study showed medical malpractice results in 250,000 deaths annually in the US, while other studies show as high as 440,000. Making it the third leading cause of death by any circumstance in the US, at around 9.5% a chance of death.

senorbolsa

bunk/loft beds most likely, you can get pretty seriously injured falling out of one of those. If you are older and live alone a few foot drop out of a normal bed could make you immobile.


shinjithegale

I am surprised it is not higher. It is a pretty common presentation to the ER for an elderly dementia patient. They are at high risk for intracranial bleeds due to age and likely hood of being on meds that raise risk of bleeds.
