A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Please read your own statistics. The first graph you showed forgot to add gun suicides to the gun violence number. And removing ~2% of deaths just by changing some simple laws is huge. It would be better than completely curing AIDS.
Regarding your second screenshot: The guy before was talking about how the USA is the most dangerous western country. So you post a screenshot which puts the USA behind some non-western country.
If you look at the fitting article on Wikipedia
You see that the USA is currently on place 9, behind only South/Middle American and Carribian countries.
The next kinda western country is Serbia on place 22.
