Okay, since you're clearly not getting this, I'll say it slower:

It was a joke.

I honestly do not care about how many murders there are in the US on an annual basis, or how many episodes of Midsomer are actually produced. It was a light-hearted dig at the infamously slow production rate of UK television shows. That is all.

Now would you please put that American flag down before you take someone's eye out?

The whole subthread was started by an American talking about the murder rate in the US being higher than the murder rate in Midsomer... the conversation was about America from the start???

My dude. It's a tongue-in-cheek reply to a tongue-in-cheek secret on a community for sharing silly secrets about TV shows.

Go outside. Get some fresh air. If you absolutely must die on this hill, go and find some people who actually give a shit and aren't just shitposting.

Dude, the first comment of this thread absolutely does not read as obviously tongue-in-cheek. Saying you have to "live with the very real chance of getting gunned down randomly" is not as light-hearted as you seem to think it is. Ending it with a more joke-y observation doesn't negate that.

It is kinda funny to me that you're telling ayrt that they're taking it too seriously when you've also picked a weird hill to die on.

OP of the thread

You are correct that I was being very serious, and I have the stats to prove it. The Midsomer murder rate is estimated to be 3.2 per 100,000. The US murder rate is 7.8 per 100,000 as of 2020. I am being very serious when I say my chances of being murdered would go DOWN if I could move there. And I would get a house (which is another entirely serious dig at the housing crisis in the US leading to a staggering amount of homelessness and mental health problems).

I find it amusing that everyone in this thread is either making a joke (I approve) or being defensive and trying bad math to defend the indefensible. Maybe try joking instead? Unless you wanna die on a hill you're renting...
