Part of what you describe (sans the transfer thing) sound like the main plotline of Bladerunner.

It's the total numbers compared.

So if you would get numbers per time or travelled distance, this would probably be even worse (>>3 times more deadly).

Especially since the statistics are from Germany. We are enthusiastic public walkers.

Ah yes, sure, Begriffsassoziativitätskombinatorik.

(Yes, I just made that word up. And also yes, it makes sense and might be the word describing what you were just thinking about.)

Germany.

I guess our pedestrian infrastructure is probably better than in most other places.
But we also like to walk a lot, so this might shift statistics again...

These statistics are regularily presented at company safety courses to get us to actually use the provided handrails. :-)

Depends. I like it, but it lures you into lazy naming of stuff, that being especially pronounced in state administration.
And written form is hell to comprehend for dyslexics...

I think you might enjoy "The Meaning of Liff"...

It's missing an "e" at the end...

And yes, I heard the German language is supposed to be full of such special-purpose words (and if not, we construct fitting new ones by endless concatenation)
So I guess, I am the lucky one in this thread. :-)

Not sure it is completely silly.
You often see those labels beforehand and maybe think "Oh yeah, better organize something to get home or stay for the night."
And at least raises awareness about the negative effects of alcohol (there are several more warnings I have just learned from @LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net

You don't have to do it iteratively, just count the sum of the "out" votes from a single voting and the one with the least wins.
Still not a good system in my view, though...

I guess it would lead to politicians being even more sycophantic before elections to not exhibit any possible trait that could be seen as negative.
Not a good system, I think.

One a scale ranging from 1 to 10:
How high are you right now?

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 23 hours ago

This actually sounds plausible.
We also have the cigarettes thing.
(But alcohol are standard warnings: pregnancy, age restrictions - no driving warnings interestingly)
