Getting all the way back to the 70s took a couple minutes of patient tapping on my phone, only to get told I have NAN left. What a let down.

#42I have negative time left. I beat the clock ;)

#43This belongs to an edgy subreddit
Re: Death Clock
#44As an aside, I really dislike the style of date picker they are using. I always find them so cumbersome.
If you are designing a website/web app please use a html input type=date, at least on more modern devices and provide a fallback for older ones. The UX for date selection in modern browsers is very well thought through.
Apologies for being off topic.
EDIT:
This shouldn’t be the top comment, you should probably stop upvoting (currently 18)… I probably shouldn’t have posted it even.
Re: Death Clock
#45Seems 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).
You're doing something right ;)
Re: Death Clock
#46Not sure about the stoic piece, as time you have left falls into the category of can't control and therefore not something you should worry about. Worry about what you can control in the "whatever time" you have left
Re: Death Clock
#47I’d like to play, but this UI design is awful. Talk about encouraging someone to view their remaining time as precious, someone born Jan 1, 1970 can expect to tap or click 240 time to get past the first question.
Edit: found you can click the year, but why not just enter my full birthdate?
Re: Death Clock
#48I have a more optimistic wall-mounted version of this timer.[1]

#49I can't put my finger on it but I always find this modern(Americanized?) peddling of stoicism too pretentious and vapid as to be not only useless but actively off-putting to me. The fact that life is short is already central to most adults and I don't see what purpose any of these reminders serve except to seem high-minded (and annoying). The faux precision of this "clock" also bothers me but that's a different story…
I’ve found some use for it. For example, I’m a significantly better parent when I take time in the morning to remind myself that I might die today. Similarly useful is reminding yourself that your family members might die today.

To me, it rings false because the people who propagate it so rarely face "real" adversity. I would be more interested in the stoicism of a broke guy scrapping just to exist than the stoicism of rich white tech bros. Yes, everyone faces adversity of some kind, but these lectures ring so false when the lecturer sits firmly in the top 1% of global and historic wealth.
