Post an unusual sign if you feel like it. bsky.app/profile/shel...
Sign on right side of street reading "LOW TREE" with arrows pointing up and rightward. Sign is usual road warning sign size and shape: yellow square rotated 45°. A short distance farther up the road is a clump of trees and underbrush close beside the curb with a leaf-covered limb overhanging the asphalt-paved roadway.

what is "the" argument?

threat can mean discrete events like a credible bomb threat (x per year) or—as the comic implied—"constant" ongoing risk

fixating on the former misses the point. it could occur any moment, regardless whether statistical odds are more "hit by lightning" vs "saw a car crash"
threat second dictionary definition and etymology, with phrase highlighted, begin highlighting possibility of trouble, danger end highlighting. 2. a person or thing likely to cause damage or danger. "hurricane damage poses a major threat to many coastal communities" the possibility of trouble, danger, or ruin. "the company faces the threat of bankruptcy" Similar: danger, peril, hazard, menace, risk, possibility, chance Origin Old English thrēat ‘oppression’, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch verdrieten ‘grieve’, German verdriessen ‘irritate’.
