Of the ~100 billion humans who have ever lived, ~8 billion of them are still alive. Therefore, your chance of dying is only 92%, not 100%.
Yeah but no one of them survived the ~~116th~~ 122th year.
These things are always subject to challenge but as I understand the oldest 'verified' person to have ever lived was 122 when they died.
Ho yes you're right, just checked and that was Jeanne Calment.
I'm going full Bilbo Baggins is i make it to 111 years old
122nd*
Not if Mike Tyson says it
Big (soft) brain moment
Who knows, at some point we might figure out how to stop/reverse aging, so your chance of dying (in the foreseeable future) is not 100%, only very close to it
