Oh my fucking god you dumb illiterate fuck. 7. Per. Year. Commenter said “a lot per day.” Get it right. It’s not that hard.

And no, “by any definition” doesn’t mean a word ceases to have objective meaning, or that it just means whatever you want it to mean. It’s a common expression meaning “by any valid interpretation of the word.” Deaths by spider per day being less than .02, that is not a valid interpretation of “a lot.” A synonym for “lot” is “batch.” Imagine you had some crumbs from a cookie, roughly totaling 2% the weight of a full cookie. Would you look at those crumbs and say, “oh look a batch of cookies!” Maybe you would, being a fucking crazy person.

Also you living somewhere without rabies has no bearing on worldwide deaths by cat, which is what we were talking about.
