Devastating crisis: 125 years from today...

Off-topic

I can’t believe BTM hasn’t picked up on this one… surely he’d be the first to post it.

125 years from today, every single man, woman, and child who is alive today or born in the very near future will be DEAD.

Yes - 100% of ALL HUMANS ALIVE TODAY will be DEAD!

…in 125 years or less. This includes YOU and EVERYONE YOU KNOW, including EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD TODAY!!!

I don’t want to cause alarm, but I do want you to think long and hard about how you’re going to deal with this crisis. Please post any and all suggestions you may have.

Do you not take outliers into account when you say everyone?

I intend to live forever. So far so good. :sunglasses:

edit:

Actually, I think she will be gone in the next 125 years also. :wink:

oh $&*t :astonished:

Well frigg. All my long term plans are bunk! Gotta ride while I can…

Not necessarily. The average life expectancy in 1900 was 47 years… Now, 110 years later, it’s 79 years. That’s almost double!

Thanks to advances in medical technology etc I wonder what it will be in 125 years time? Maybe some of us will still be around…

Not that I’m holding out any hope!!

Life is short - make the most of it while you can. :smiley:

I’m sure it won’t belong til this becomes another religion thread.

10

Amen to that, brother.

11

nobodies gonna want the life expectancy to be 125 yrs if there’s like 15 billion people

lol So true. You know all those people who just bug the crap outta you? They would be around TWICE AS LONG! Interestingly though, that might mean twice as many annoyance-related aneurysms, as well as twice as many suicides, meaning the increase wouldn’t actually be too great.
However, if you count annoyance as being an exponential factor, and I think that it is, this longer-life could have an even bigger impact! It could well get to the point where the only people left alive are the ones everyone wanted dead, and as soon as the living realize that, it could create such an epidemic of depression and MORE suicide that the population of the Earth reverts back to what it was in the 1500’s, leaving the only people not wishing they were dead and gaining huge amounts of weight do to anti-depressants, the pharmaceutical company proprietors!
My word! :astonished: This increased life expectancy is all a plot designed by “the Man”!! Don’t stand for it! Kill yourself now in rebellion!

I predict that your prediction is wrong. I also predict that within your lifetime, Maestro, someone will make it to 125.

So make it 130 and you’re probably good to go. :slight_smile:

I carry dusty ditch insurance

It is so totally worth it guys. I have insurance that says if I die for any reason, I can be respected dust, not dirty ditch, rotted to mold before it dried dust. You know, not crap dust, that cool dust. When I die, magic pixies will arrange my dust so that it pleases me forever.

15

How much does one person annoy on the average?

16

No way!

I am near finished my translation of the tome of eternal darkness, with which I will use to raise an army of undead ghouls to help build me a daedalus space craft so I can journey to the planet arrakis. There my minions will harvest melange until I have a horde great enough to ensure that not only will my lifespan be greatly extended, but I will allocate it as reward to those who please me, and withold it as punishment. Solidifying my rule over the universe and unicyclists.

4.28 annoyances per hour…

More if you’re in Essex

18

You’ll get a huge number if you multiply that by six billion…

Even bigger number in Essex

Silly mortals. :stuck_out_tongue:
