I didn't mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(

I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. "Everything's lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time") type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I've heard from women irl a lot.

Come to Finland, safe to walk at night

[–] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

finland has a homocide rate of about 1 per 100k.
Countries are generally lower than cities, but some cities for context :

Hong Kong : 0.29
Glendale CA : 0.52
Tampere, Finland : 2.2
Arlington TX: 4.8
Los Angeles CA : 10.3
Albequerqe NM : 21.3
Washington DC : 31.85
Flint MI : 70.7
Tijuana MX : 95.9

Maybe I'm too tired or dumb to understand this... But 1 per 100k what? Is this successes per 100k attempts? Is it murderers per 100k people? 1 homicide per 100k human interactions? Maybe a citation would help me to understand the statistic you are referring to. It's not that I don't believe the sentiment of this comment but I really don't know what the figures mean here so I can't meaningfully gauge what each number means for the safety of a city.

Per 100k people who live there

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

For what amount of time? The statistic just doesn't make sense when framed this way.

Why is Washington DC so high?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

By "night", you mean the perpetual night in winter?

Anteeksi. My humble apologies. I thought Moomins were just Moomins. Today I learnt a thing.

They are mostly tricksters. As long as you don't piss them off, you have nothing to worry about.
