Feeling bad that you’re not using your time to the max is one of the worst ways to use your time.

#12Seems broken? Tells me I have 60-some percent of my life remaining (I was born 1964, when I return to settings it seems stuck on 1992 - for which 60% would make sense).
I was born in 1992, so all my testing passed - ship it!

#13I have NAN% life remaining :(
Re: Death Clock
#14I have NaN time remaining?
Same. I don’t trust sites in general, so I gave a Jan 1 of my actual birth year. It didn’t like it.

#15Most folks have on the order of ~500,000 hours of consciousness during their life.

#16I built another version of this about 30ish years ago, you can see it now at www.deathclock.com. I sold the site about 15 years ago (helped pay for an adoption). It was my first "successful" website, getting near 5 million views per day. It was also a useful programming exercise (learned the painful way that one ColdFusion function wouldn't support large numbers and others would, so had to do so wrangling to get the final number right).
The best part was the emails I'd get. Wow.

#17This is so depressing, and I am left with just over 60%.I can't imagine how someone would feel with just 10% or even less..
Mine said 61% and to me it seems like a crazy amount. It’s hard to imagine doing all the living I’ve already done all over again and then some.
I think about 10 years ago I felt like I had already gotten plenty enough out of life not to feel short changed. Still love living, don’t get me wrong.

#19I think there's a bug, if you put in a birth date in the 1930s for the USA, it says you have negative time remaining.
It's the countdown

They’re rough averages, and I can’t tell (it gave me NAN) if they’re taking your current age into account. You could die tomorrow, but you also have a roughly equal chance to live into your 100’s. Every year you survive, you have a longer estimated lifespan.
FWIW, as someone in their early 30’s, the chances of you dying this year are somewhere in the 1% range. But your life expectancy has also gone up to 78/83 (male/female), from 76/81 where you were at birth.
