Burning building and creatures burning alive? The toxic smoke from it kills chickens
Only paying attention if it affects the price is why we’ll never hear about the surprisingly frequent cases of them
Millions of birds have died on single fires before. With how things currently are, it almost certainly won’t be last
They’re usually only reported on locally, but they kill hundres of thousands to millions each year by being roasted alive or from toxic gases
US federal regulations are also quite weak for barn fires. Unfortunately they are not alone in that. Other countries such as Canada and the Netherlands are similar and have frequent barn fires too
It’s worth mentioning this isn’t an isolated instance sadly
Fires on large-scale animal farms, or factory farms, are surprisingly common. Over the last decade, at least 6.5 million farmed animals, mostly chickens, perished in barn fires in the US
The true number is likely significantly higher, AWI notes, because not all states have the same reporting requirements, and because farm animals are property with essentially no legal protection from suffering

To be fair my suspicious is steam deck users likely make up a larger chunk of recent desktop Linux growth and aren’t (as) likely to go to typical linux spaces online. Though since this is based on browser data, I also wonder how many steam deck users are actually browsing the web on them, so perhaps that my be a bad assumption on my part
You’re not completely wrong, but image of being burned alive is quite striking to me
