For folks born after 2020 (I wasn't; my kid was), lots of NaN's. Quite literally; uncertain times.
I didn't know that the numbers of grandmothers are rapidly increasing.

#52"You're one of the lucky ones. 99% of people born in 1901 didn't make it to 2022."
Congratulations to the stubborn 121 year old keeping that 100% away. "And you still have a long way to go".
Re: Life Stats
#53This is cool, simple but fun. One improvement I'd suggest is using an international date format (yyyy / mm / dd) or perhaps a dropdown for months. Even with the date placeholder text I managed to mess up the date!
Even on the simple site like this, even the contentious topic of implementation of dates pops up. :-). The dates are a pain to do well and agreeable to everyone.
It doesn't have to be contentious, an international resource should favor the agreed international date format. The contentiousness usually comes from ethnocentrism.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
I just realized we're less than 1 year away from reaching 8 billion people on Earth. A bit scary.
It would be much scarier if it was decreasing or staying flat, though.
Why?
I don't doubt you, I just don't know anything about this. My first guess is that economically it would be potentially catastrophic.

It's OK, they probably can't read or validate the results anyway.

#56I'm surprised and sad that 15% of my cohort is dead already. 8( It says a dollar in the year I was born (1963) is the same as $8.4 today As a reminder to myself about the meaning of hard money... I carry around a 1901 dollar... minted in New Orleans, that you might have got as change in 1963.... that's worth $19.20 melt value today. More than twice the $8.4 amount. Not in my wallet is a 1852 dollar... worth $84.48 to…
I'll start to worry when the rich and famous of my cohort start dying. They usually have the best medical care you can buy, and when they start dying, it would mean my time is probably near too.

For me (1981) it's already 9%. That would mean that approx. 1 in 10 friends would already have died. I don't think thats remotely true for me. Most likely the global distribution of deaths is really uneven.
Guess I'll have no friends to avoid their deaths then.
You're welcome, ex-friends!
Re: Life Stats
#58I put in that I was born in 1901, and it still told me that I still had "a long way to go"
Did the same, was surprised that 1% of my 121 yo cohort was still alive.
Re: Life Stats
#59Wait, the human body makes a million red blood cells a second? That's kind of mind blowing.
That's what surprised me, too. Our bodies don't really "feel" all that active (even on a cellular level).
And that’s -only- the red blood cells. Consider how that’s only a tiny portion of your body. Think of all the other cells everywhere else. Constantly dying and being born. Isn’t it every 7 years or so that pretty much every cell in our body’s rotated out?

It took that comment to realize why the form wasn’t working for me.
