              tbf that might just be when the asteroid hits, nuclear war hits, or when ai deems humans as redundant and inefficient

                I think the asteroids chances of hitting Earth were down graded, so nuclear war might be what gets us.

                Don’t get me wrong AI would be an interesting scenario, but based on the fact they’re all trained on our social media makes me wonder if the AI would option to shoot itself upon realizing most of us hate existence lol.

      In 2042 you’ll be 62ish or something I don’t wanna think about math, but that’s around the average American life expectancy and isn’t too bad.

        Maths understander here, in 2042 they’ll be 60, not 62. Also the average life expectancy in the US is around 77-78 years, i.e. enough of a difference compared to 60 that you could more or less fit (and live to see) a grandkid/great-grandkid’s entire childhood in there.

        Although that 79 years figure is Life Expectancy at Birth, in practice it tends to be longer for most surviving adults older than a certain point, mostly because the lower ranges of the chart hit their allotted moment and pass on for whatever reason, leaving the remaining average higher still

        Of course, with calculus living rent free in my head rn thanks to the uni course of the same name, I’m wondering what that chart of “current age vs expected remaining age” looks like, and where the point of “ageing faster than your remaining likely time grows” lies

        Edit: source turned out to be a little out of date (although they always tend to bicker a little on the exact number), corrected for it

        That’s not close to average life expectancy in the US.

          Okay, source I used was a little out of date (was looking at 2015 numbers, oops), but even the 2022 numbers disagree somewhat. OECD claims 77, CIA claims 78.
