Yeah, I might not remember it exactly, but I've heard that about 9 out of 10 people of all our history haven't died yet. Which can be neatly misinterpreted as a surprisingly optimistic chance of not dying.

haha yes, statistics is neat :)

Also, what would you do with infinite time?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Probably the same as I do with finite time - stress myself about things I cannot influence. Or perhaps I'd finally have time to learn not to do that - it's a task for several lifetimes, I'm afraid :)
