A bar chart titled “Deaths from Wars & Cars” the Leftmost bar is WW2 at 78M, followed by Cars 72M, Mongols 39M, Taiping 25M, Ming Qing 25M, 2nd CN-JP 20M, and finally WW1 19M. A note at the bottom states “Showing estimate midpoints”
Now imagine how many people have died of forks in history.
Quite a bit more than WW2 or cars for that matter.
You’ve got me curious of the actual value regarding fork deaths lol
