[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

~~I think that means alcohol poisoning~~

It actually means tuberculosis

I never thought to combine deaths by cancer and by wolves to save space or because they’re similar enough. I can’t comprehend why they thought it was a good idea either.

Prest is such an elegant way to spell pressed

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"My teeth are killing me" meant something pretty different back then.

What else am I missing?

Mostly, they died from a lack of medical knowledge.

Only 7 murders? The population of London was apparently about 400,000 back then so that's less than half the murder rate of present-day New York City (which is considered a relatively safe city). I don't think that can be right...

1632 London: 7 / 400,000 = 17.5 murders per million people

2023 New York: 312 / 8,258,000 = 37.8 murders per million people

present-day New York City (which is considered a relatively safe city).

Relative to USA. It would easily be one of the most violent cities in Europe.
