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
What about the trolls?
That’s Norwegian, I think.
Hey hey. No hogging the mythos bro. We have our peikkos as well.

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.
they are too busy on the internet to go outside
By “night”, you mean the perpetual night in winter?
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
Why is Washington DC so high?
All the whistleblowers probably lol
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
For what amount of time? The statistic just doesn’t make sense when framed this way.
A year
Ehh, I’m still scared of it.
