  • The same table on the Wiki page says that the actual count was 289 murders in 2022. Japan had a population of over 126 million in 2020. If we used your formula, that would mean there were over 289,000 murders in Japan between 2021 and 2022. See below:

    230 per 100,000 = 126,146,099 x 230 ÷ 100,000 = 290,136 murders total.

    Whereas, 0.233 per 100,000 = 126,146,099 x 0.233 ÷ 100,000 = 294 murders total.

    2+2=4, simple maths. But 290k murders per year would explain the population drop, lol.

    As the other guy mentioned, 0.23% per 100,000 doesn’t make sense. That’s like saying 0.23 murders per 100 (cent) per 100,000. One of those per Xs is redundant.

    The Wikipedia page linked says Japan has a murder rate of 0.233 per 100,000 residents. If this made sense as a percent, it would mean a percentage of 0.000233%. But this statistic wouldnt work as a since a “percentage” implies a fraction of a whole, for example 50% of a population is born male.

    The original statistic under discussion says that there are “X number of murder cases per 100,000 people living in country”, rather than “Y% of the country’s population is murder victims”, which wouldn’t make sense anyway since the dead aren’t part of the population; i.e. you wouldn’t see a statistic like “20% of the population is dead” but rather “20% of the population died”, and “90% of the deaths were by murder” rather than “18% of the population is murder victims”.

    Thank you for attending my TED talk.

    Edit: formatting

    Edit: 0.233 murders per 100,000 residents (in 2022) = 126,146,099 (pop of Japan as per the 2020 census) x 0.233 ÷ 100,000 = 294 murders total. The wiki page says the actual count is 289, so the error is probably due the drop in population since the 2020 census.

    Hey, thanks for your input, I agre e with you for the most part. I agree that it would be a different matter if I were selling the inhalers themselves, but I just put up the files. I made something I thought was cool and posted it so others could make it too. I’ve tested it exhaustively and believe it isn’t dangerous but dont necessarily have the means or inclination to pursue production on a commercial scale that would require some sort of regulatory intervention.

    That said, I have included a disclaimer in the description mentioning this. Thank you.

    Yup, totally with you on that, but since it isn’t supposed to come in contact with food particles or such and can be washed, it’s not really something I’d worry about. Mouth contact is only with the outside of the mouthpiece which should be frequently wiped and washed, so I haven’t really noticed any build up or smell.
