I would guess that if you go province by province, state by state, territory by territory, you can probably find others with very high gun ownership rates.
Well, yes, the Falkland Islands.
Out of the completely sovereign countries, Yemen would be second place, though the US more-than-doubles their gun ownership per 100 civilians indeed.
Now, Falkland Islands and Yemen also have far, far fewer guns than the US; their high gun ownership comes in part from their small population.
India and China rank second and third in total guns owned by civilians, but purely through their sheer population. Gun ownership per 100 civilians ranks low in China (3.6%) and so-so in India (5.3%).Don’t get me wrong, the fact that the US only barely doesn’t double some tiny territory’s gun ownership by population, still speaks volumes for the US’s insane level of gun ownership!

Not exactly an “outlet” but a place that was closed down for excessive fecal bacteria…to which he disagreed.
He disagreed with the fecal bacteria? I mean, whatever floats his boat, but they’re going to infect him anyway.

Or calories on packaging.
Or inches in Europe when talking about a screen from S. Korea, which was designed in cm to begin with.

Than remembering 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10; because metric has more measurements most people don’t use as well!
- 10 millimetres to a centimetre
- 10 centimetres to a decimetre
- 10 decimetres to a metre
- 10 metres to a decametre
- 10 decametres to a hectometre
- 10 hectometres to a kilometre
- Comment on 5 tomatoes 3 weeks ago:
Okay, but I don’t use a measurement system for close enough, I use a measurement system when I want to be precice.
- Comment on 5 tomatoes 3 weeks ago:
Especially with several thousand kilometres.
“Eleven mega metre” rolls off the tongue much better than “eleven thousands kilo metre” IMO.

You can tell how bad a news site is when they translate billion to biljoona and thus making the amount 1000 times higher.
Looks like we have something in common! Hämmästyttävä!
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 3 weeks ago:
Almost, if I can believe this Wikipedia article Falkland Islands has just over half as much as the US.

This actually happens?

You’re right on with pets, had a lil’ doggo that did NOT want his medicine, lil’ pooch would eat around it in his food, squirm in six dimensions if you tried to force him, and yes one time he even used teeth!
Needless to say I was, in fact, not using teeth.Our current doggo tho, eats her food with or without medicine. One time we forgot to give her her pill when she was on medication for something, I just told her it was a biscuit and she ate it, no questions asked. This is a blessing.

I feel lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/30883044 applied to “expat” as well.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 3 weeks ago:
Core memory unlocked: Looking at a store called “Expat store” or something in that vein in Den Haag as a little boy, asking my parent what “expat” is. “That’s an American immigrant.” “So, why are they not just an immigrant?” “That way they feel better about themselves.”
I only just realised how based my parents are.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 5 months ago:
The first flaw is not discussing things with the people in charge of tariffs such as the secretary of treasury.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 5 months ago:
Even his buddy’s Tesla’s had to double check with him to make sure they weren’t going to be tariffed, so I’m feeling that’s less on Drumpf’s part and more on Musk’s.
- Comment on is walking away the best way to deal with a work clique? 5 months ago:
Going by OP’s post, their co-workers can’t sue them; management will listen, the union will listen, but they’ll do some theatrics and nothing gets changed in the end. Just break their legs :-)
- Comment on Is it normal to be constantly scared about how your friend will react to anything about you? 5 months ago:
I’m not, it’s actually not normal behaviour.
- Comment on Is it normal to be constantly scared about how your friend will react to anything about you? 5 months ago:
Everyone is saying that’s not a friend, but I’m seeing paranoia or at least anxiety.
Wether they’re a friend or not doesn’t really matter here, take care of yourself, talk with people of you need to, okay?
- Comment on Is it normal to be constantly scared about how your friend will react to anything about you? 5 months ago:
What’s the C-word? Cunt?
In that case yes, it’s cunty behaviour but that’s not normal behaviour.

In case of the US they’ll ask “Oh? You reject him? You and what army?”
You can’t really deny the US much, y’know.

- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 5 months ago:
For BeefPiano@lemmy.world ; I think the key words are “that force businesses who are open anyway”
Perhaps it shouldn’t be a public holiday but some other law that forces (half) a day off on that day.

Hell, trans people staying in the US are in danger of being disappeared now.
