Yes pretty sure it's population, but with cities / 'metropolitan areas' it's so hard to measure to come up with a definitive ranking.

"lights" in Celtic is interesting. A while back a list of deaths in the 1600s London went viral due to some of the strange terminology used, one of which was "rising of the lights" which someone in the know translated as tuberculosis. So "lights" was clearly used in English at some point as well perhaps before "lung" or maybe as a slang/alternative term...

Here it is, not a map but definitely fascinating

Teeth being the 5th most common death cause is very unexpected

It’s so hard to comprehend that voice over is a thing that still exist (or that it ever did!).

I have this on my mind as one of the weird stuff of communism and state censorship/propaganda.
Was more shocked when first discovered there are so many countries that dub things systematically for grown-ups who can read anyway.
And consequently so many people are not aware of how actors actually act or how their real voices sound.

 

[RS]

Agreed, but voice over is just a different level of horrible.

Maybe they want to discourage population growth or sth, otherwise it doesn't make sense.

I think its more corporate interest reasons. Most jobs that upper-middle class or higher people have offer maternity leave in the US. Its the poor who are most impacted by the lack of requirement for it
