How long do you think you will live?

[Howie]

All things considered your educated guess of how long you will live.

Heredity, gut instinct, illness, intuition, age, premonitions, medical advances, suicide, god's will, health, destructive habits, lifestyle.

I should be dead at 31.

[Lord Toaster]

I started thinking about the various factors, but it was making me depressed so I stopped. So many ways I could die unexpectedly young :(

So, just going to say I ought to live to old age.

Yea, me too. :(

[Mes Tarrant]

Wow. How terrible of you guys to think that way. My heart would shatter if my partner told me he didn't expect to live past 31.

[27]

Well, the life expectancy for people who are 70-80 years old now was much shorter when they were young. So for someone like me that has never touched drugs, alcohol or tobacco and never will, who knows? Maybe I'll live to be 100! :lol:

[Taosaur]

Heh, I had a vision about ten years ago that I would die in the midst of some kind of major upheaval around 2015. I wasn't aware of all the 2012 prophesies at the time, but I was more receptive to them on account of that experience. That said, I don't assume it will happen.

If I do get through the Timewave ;) I'll be lucky to see my sixties, based on family history (from the half I know), personal habits, early stresses, and time spent outdoors in the city. Pretty much all demographic factors are working against me, too--single, male, no pets. If I claim white ethnicity, I've got that going for me, I guess :P

If I go out in the Timewave, I'll be just shy of 35. Otherwise, 62 after 10 years or so of progressive organ failure. I'm ready now or at 95, however it shakes out.

[Ynot]

well, I'll be 70 in 2052

think we'll have bionics by then?
cause if so
I'm never going to die

[Taosaur]

I should be dead at 31.
Yea, me too. :(

Are you kidding? I could have sworn you were both older than me. I hope you don't take offense--if anything, take it as a compliment.

[27]

I heard a theory that if you live to a certain age science will get to the point that you'll never have to die.

[Moonbeam]

Wow. How terrible of you guys to think that way. My heart would shatter if my partner told me he didn't expect to live past 31.

We're just kidding. Nobody knows how long they will live. Any of us could die at any time.

[Ynot]

and on that cheery note....

[Taosaur]

I heard a theory that if you live to a certain age science will get to the point that you'll never have to die.

I think that theory's been around since about 1894, prior to which you would replace "science" with "medicinal elixirs," and prior to then, "alchemy."

[27]

Oh well. Who would really want to live forever anyway?

[Ynot]

more importantly,
who will join me in my ever-lasting mechanical tyranny against the fleshlings of Earth 2050

We will rule on-high

Mes?

[Mes Tarrant]

I'd love to, provided I can call you Anthony.

[Abra]

I'll live until I'm done. Die on surprise I may, but not before I'm done. Is anyone not confused by this?

[Man of Steel]

I know exactly what you mean, and it doesn't confuse me in the slightest. I feel much the same.

[Ynot]

my uptime's huge
and I'm highly available

(sorry, just read the "horrible chatup lines" thread
I think it's rubbed off on me)

I'm in.You're a guy - go away

Duh...

Once it said I was gonna live until 2069. That was most kickass.

[27]

Thanks alot for showing me that, AR. It says I won't make 40.

[AspirationRealized]

You're welcome.

Sometimes, the choices you make (and other times, choices you don't...) will effect you.

The deathclock is based on medical records of people who fit your profile. They are not definitive, but they do have pretty accurate statistics behind them.

XD I think this is the definitive answer to this thread.

Also, try putting in smoking to see how many years it takes off. Try making yourself optimistic, see yourself gain more life.

[LucidDreamGod]

Hmm, Stress will probably be my cause of death, so I'll probably die of a stroke or something, though I originaly plained I'd eat mainly fruits vegetables and grains when I move out, and leave all the good food for in my lucid dreams, if I ever master it.

I'll probably die of old age in some nursing home, or maybe someday I'll totaly loose my mind and start hallucinating, then I'll master control over them, thinking it's a lucid dream I'll try to jump out a window and fall to my death.

But yeah I don't smoke or do anything that would cause cancer, but not sure if you can get cancer from just nothing. If thats the cause the most likely scenario is I die of natural causes, hopefully well asleep in my home, and a month or so later I'm found.

It'll probably happen at 70 or up. I don't care how I die so long as theres no pain. And perforably alseep, because I tend to panic. Even though I'm not afraid of death consciously, my subconscious will be sure to awaken as much panic as possible.

[27]

Optimistic - 85

Smoker (pessimestic) - 56

Huh? Let me try my real one agian...

This time it gave me 58 years

:whyme:

:/ sorry 27. You need to be happier, I surmise.

I'll prolly die of colon cancer because I love hamburgers.

[Oneironaut]

According to the death clock: 94 years old.

That's actually not far from when I was thinking, myself. :cooler:

[Man of Steel]

I'm not just any guy. :superman:

Duh...

According to that, so long as I stay optimistic, I'll live to be a month shy of 98 years old. That sounds pretty good to me. My grandfather lived to be either 94 or 96, if I'm not mistaken.

[Lucid Seeker]

The sooner the better for me :P I've tried that clock before, i think once it was about 2032. Not long for me.

[Howie]

WOw
Sorry to depress anyone. :P
I guess I was fascinated with all the many variables that we could take into consideration, at the same time possibly having nothing to do with it.

Both sides of my family have longevity in their genes. Oddly my mother's side has a history of taking care of themselves. My grandmother is now 103!! < yep. But my dads side eats and does whatever they feel and still lives long, I really believe genetics play a huge role in our life span.
Some people can smoke their entire life and never get cancer. That being one of many examples I could write.
I don't really have a lot of dangerous hobbies and I'm in good health now. I do hope that my body forgives the many chemicals I ran through it for the sake of impairment. :P

[Woozie]

I should be dead at 31.

My gym teacher actually once said to me that i'll probably be dead by the age of 30 :D

... Yeah we never really got along very well. But he did have a point. I dont really live a very healthy lifestyle. And we've got cancer in our family. My uncle died. But that's because it was discovered so late. My father survived it and is now in great shape.

All things considered. I'll probably hit the 60 mark or so. I think that'd be a good age to check out. And I never wanted to get too old and wither away at some old people's home. The death clock says 55 :D

[Seismosaur]

I am going to live all the way to the day I die.

[psychology student]

This is weird. I guessed myself that i was going to die on 2063.Then I tried the deathclock and it told me I was going to die on 2063. Seriously

:shock::eek:

[ShadowNightWing]

This is weird. I guessed myself that i was going to die on 2063.Then I tried the deathclock and it told me I was going to die on 2063. Seriously

You probably should play that number 2-0-6-3.

[LucidDreamGod]

Yeah they just add on 9 months and 12 days to your birthday, hence It says I die the day before halloween and it says 73.

2063 is common because we have alot of 17-18 year olds who have a nuetral mood, and don't smoke and are skinny :P.

[ShadowNightWing]

AspirationRealized I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here. You're somewhere in your early 30's?

What gave you that impression? I'm eighteen...

XD I've been called older before, but its been awhile. Why would you think that? >.>

Oh, and it works as I said. It may very well be a formula as easy as that, for that profile... however, people have discovered a difference after entering their information again directly after entering it once... and they've seen a change of a few years.

It may not be all that realistic, but it is pretty fun. And makes you think about the way you live.

[Xox]

According to Death Clock I will die when I'm 55 yrs. old.

I have bad genes. =/ Oh well, I don't exactly want to live too long. 55 is good for me.

Edit - I just did that again, without changing anything, and apparently now I will die when I'm 79. :chuckle:

[suttsman]

weird... I checked Deathclock.com and it says I will die on Monday, May 24, 2066, at age 73. It said the exact same thing when I checked it again.

[Spartiate]

The death clock is a little ridiculous, all it factors is your age, sex, BMI and whether you smoke or not :eh:...

[kingofclutch]

Sweet! That thing said I'm gonna live to 99!

[wasup]

I honestly hope to live until 120 or later... hey, with new technology, living very healthy (I do), and a lot of money (to make it easier to live healthy, get medical support, and take advantage of new technology) it should be easy. I think the most prominent factor will be technology advancing life span, which should increase a lot within the next 60-70 years.

Sure, but if people lived any longer, we'd have an even bigger population problem.

I think we'll have the technology and never give it to the masses :/

[wasup]

Hence having the money to get the technology ;)

Plus, it is rather naive to pretend people will withhold technology that will give them huge amounts of money. I mean jesus... "eternal life" is probably one of the most desired technology ever.

[Delphinus]

Deathclock told me that I'd live till the year 2080!

[Exhalent]

I was watching 60 minutes the other day and there was a story on how some scientists believe that sometime within the next decade people will have the life expectancy of 1000 years of age.

[wa'el]

i guess i'll die at 68 .... (i hope to live longer though)

[Black_Eagle]

If all goes according to plan, I should be alive exactly 10,052 years.

[Howie]

No shit? I thought it was right on the money. ;)
I really don't think it is meant to be anything more than to spark awareness for your health, invoke some fear.
Hence the BMI count below it..

[AmazeO XD]

Probablly 45

[Keeper]

Long enough

[wasup]

I was watching 60 minutes the other day and there was a story on how some scientists believe that sometime within the next decade people will have the life expectancy of 1000 years of age.

That would be so amazing and awesome...

[Keeper]

Only is a year is still 365 & 1/4 days, a day is still 24 hours and an hour is still 60 mins :D

Wouldn't this exasperate the problem of overpopulation, though?

[Taosaur]

I don't know many people who wouldn't pull their own plug well short of 1000 years, but I'm thinking there are fundamental cellular degeneration issues that will prevent us getting much past 120, and the resources required to keep one person alive (much less in reasonable health) that long will make it cost-prohibitive.

[Delphinus]

Hopefully over 70.

[Dreamaholic]

Forever

[CoLd BlooDed]

At my current rate I probably wouldn't make it over 30. :P However once school gets out I think it'll be back up to a good ol 75 or so.

Why would someone want to "pull the plug"? Existing is infinitely more interesting than not existing.

[Soldier]

judging how well I eat and hopefully not taking in too much beer will put me over 80.

[Taosaur]

I suppose, until "not existing" is the only thing you haven't done.

[LucidFlanders]

Soon. Probably a year or 2.

[Howie]

How will we now?
