Utopia Talk / Politics / most likely ways to die

werewolf dictator Member	Wed Jan 06 03:16:30 most likely ways to die according to me.. say for random american under 30 years old.. from most likely [at top] to least likely [at bottom] [people can tell me if something looks way too high or too low on list] *nuclear war *gain-of-function biotech released pandemic *superintelligent ai.. or aliens *heart disease *cancer *pollution *cold weather *respiratory infection [mundane] *accidental drug overdose *suicide *murdered by civilian [mundane] *hot weather *drowning *electrocution *killed by police *insect sting *asteroid collision *lightning strike *spanish inquisition
Paramount Member	Wed Jan 06 07:12:00 Nuclear war looks to be way too high up there. Spanish inquisition looks way too low. I put it higher and rename it to Trump’s Vanity Project. I would put heart disease and pollution on top. Suicide on third place followed by Trump’s Vanity Project. On fiifth place I put Killed by police, and on sixth drug overdose. Seventh place goes to death by insect sting.
jergul large member	Wed Jan 06 07:13:39 Para It was a good name for what Trump is doing, was it not?
Paramount Member	Wed Jan 06 07:14:18 Yes I believe so.
werewolf dictator Member	Wed Jan 06 09:18:12 paramount list [number in brackets is approximate number per year currently by googling] *heart disease [655000.. nb 1 nuclear war kills like 500x this] *pollution [30k to 200k air pollution.. significantly more all pollution] *suicide [45000] *trump's vanity project *killed by police [1100] *drug overdose [35000] *insect sting [60]
sam adams Member	Wed Jan 06 09:23:34 Civil war should be pretty high... might be a subset of civil war though. Car accidents are common. Also avalanches falls tree wells and other climbing/skiing accidents.
werewolf dictator Member	Wed Jan 06 09:28:35 it wasn't meant to be complete list for brevity's sake.. google gives car accidents at ~39k per year currently
werewolf dictator Member	Wed Jan 06 11:34:26 my 2.0 version.. now for those lives conceived in 2021 *nuclear war *gain-of-function biotech released pandemic *superintelligent ai.. or aliens *heart disease *abortion *cancer *pollution *cold weather *respiratory infection [mundane] *accidental poisoning *auto accident *unintentional fall *drug overdose *suicide *civil war *murdered by civilian *hot weather *drowning *fire *killed by police *drowning in bathtub alone *electrocution *tornado *insect sting *asteroid collision *lightning strike *dog attack *fireworks accident *snake bite *spanish inquisition
patom Member	Wed Jan 06 12:25:33 I'm going just like my grandfather. In my sleep. Not like the 6 screaming passengers in the van he was driving.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Thu Jan 07 02:53:28 Ok that was exceptionally hilarious patom, unexpected punch line.
jergul large member	Thu Jan 07 03:24:28 What commedian was it initially? If only there had been some way to find out. Will Rogers! Of course.

patom Member	Thu Jan 07 05:02:38 To be honest, I probably heard it in Marek's Cafe. a bar I used to hang out in in Hulmeville Pa. But Will Rogers would be a likely candidate. Great comedian and prognosticator.
werewolf dictator Member	Fri Jan 08 12:41:01 insert "killed by non-citizen" [~1950 per year] between "fire" [~3700/year] and "killed by police" [~1100/year]
