No duh, but a city of a million people is a pretty fucking big city. It’s not that rare.
- Tijdreiziger 5y agoOn a planetary scale, I wouldn't actually consider that 'pretty fucking big'. For comparison (metro areas, figures from Wikipedia): San Francisco: 4.7 million Berlin: 6.1 million London: 14.3 million NYC: 20.1 million Shenzhen: 23.3 million Tokyo: 37.5 million
- tragictrash 5y agoI never realized how big Tokyo is. Wow.
- Tijdreiziger 5y agoIn fairness, it was a bit unfair to include that one, as Tokyo is the biggest city in the world! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities#List https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities#List
- lovich 5y agoYou realize rarity is referencing the relative percentage of an event or item and not the absolute number right? If you have 1 million people in the numerator, but 100 million in the denominator, then the rate is pretty rare
