    Is that for the same timeframe? Worldwide? Can only see the article abstract, and it says “since their invention”. I mean it is a bit apples and oranges, I get what its meant to say but nowadays we have more car deaths than war deaths (or not?) because there is less war and more cars.

      If we’re doing stuff “since their invention”, it should stack the sum of people that died in every war to every car death so far.

      But this is just a bad post someone thought would get cheap validation on a niche community.

      You know it’s not. 6 years for war and I assume close to 100 years for the car.

      It’s a dumb post
