Now I’m curious.
In the United States, cases of children murdering their parents (parricide) are rare, accounting for roughly 2% of all homicides. According to the Parricide Prevention Institute, there are more than 300 parricides each year. This amounts to about 6 incidents per week, which represents less than 1% to 3% of total U.S. murders annually. Parents murdering their own children (filicide) it is more common. According to FBI Statistics, an average of 450 to 500 children are murdered by their parents in the U.S. each year. Approximately 13,000 to 14,000 people are murdered in the United States each year, corresponding to a homicide rate of around 4.0 to 4.1 per 100,000 people.
Between 5,500 and 6,000 people die from choking in the United States each year. Approximately 48,300 people die from falling in the United States each year, making falls the second leading cause of unintentional injury death nationwide. While rarely lethal in high-income nations, diarrheal diseases still cause roughly 300 deaths per year in the U.S
So diarrhea Kills about as many people as kids kill their parents.
Interesting, lots of good reasons not to have children but this obviously is not one of them. Like not swimming because of shark attacks.
Yeah it’s very unlikely then again people generally don’t operate on statistics. Like I’ve seen people super afraid of extremely unlikely things and totally comfortable with much more likely dangerous things.
the human brain is simultaneously the most logical and the most Dunning-Kruegered stupid thing we have ever encountered.
We are just hairless apes. Sometimes we should really lower our expectations. I’m surprised we’ve made it this far.
I read a lot of Ray Bradbury when I was younger. Never had him pegged as the one who’d be getting the future right.

It seems like Gen Alpha has all the disadvantages of growing up rich with none of the advantages.
I never thought my family was poor, but I always felt like I was expected to do something to give back, even if it was just keeping my room clean.
Not sure if there is something going on in Malta, but those numbers seem like bullshit.
fastest growing type of family homicide
i.e. 1 in 10 family homicides, not 1 in 10 families
There are lots of reasons to be child-free but this is definitely one of the dumbest I’ve ever heard.
exactly its like those people who choose to not get a vasectomy or a bisalpingectomy because theyre afraid of the failure rate. …dude…The failure rate is like 1 in 2000-4000 and its odds of failure only increase 1. if you injure your balls while the vasectomy is healing or 2. if you have sex unprotected too early.
Also the odds of failure decrease the longer a person has had each procedure because the odds of recanalization decrease and decrease the longer since youve had any surgery.
The odds of failure are so low you practically dont have to worry about . …Thats why I got it…
Clean as a dream for the past 6 years. I hope my future gf or wife enjoys it as much as I do 🙊🙈🤷🏿♂️
I wonder if Nisa realizes she’s advocating for human extinction.
I don’t see a problem with that, tbh. They brought it upon themselves.
yeah. most people choosing to not have kids is do to them seeing that if they had them they will have it worse than they did and us destroying the planet. Of course the persons comment is kinda stupid being that eventually. If we got to a low enough population. People would have kids. Humans are not going to go extinct do to not having children.
even during near extinctiin events the humanv population rebounded up. Our ancestors were not supposed to survife the height of our current Ice Age…they did anyways! Like just imagine how demoralizing it must have bbeen to only see ice and snow all day , barely any sun or greenery and your diet consisted oof the same cold resistant animals and plants almost all day everyday…but our ancestors were STILL popping out babies like crazy back then.
If the population is decreased by a large enough event and the planet is still intact , anyone who sees humsn extinction as a possibility is deranged or way too young to be thinkinfg about that or both lol
The thing about this thinking is its using relatively small changes that happened over vast amounts of time historically compared to what we are doing now. The early eocene like climate we are pushing the planet toward is coming in hundreds of years when previous changes took millions. This is besides our activities causing extinctions of species to happen at an unprecedented rate. Again in terms of hundreds of years. And the poisoning type activities we have had like mercury build up in fish and whatever microplastics end up doing. We are creating a unique circumstance that cannot be compared to what was seen in the paste because its never been seen before. Honestly will man or even the earth survive. That is kinda silly to think about because its about surviving as an advanced species long term keeping out knowledge intacted and not having horrible things in our existence and if you have kids or like to image your kids kids and such that it be bad for their existence. For some of us its because we want to see a better existence for all humans who come to be regardless if it is from our loins or not. For our species to find a way to advance in a sustainable way.
Based.
Humans are not going exctinct any time soon, buy if the populayion keeps growing it and the respurces might decestabilize and there might be less people anyways at the end.
