rank | Wed Jan 06 11:16:30 2021 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 |

rank | Wed Jan 06 15:12:00 2021 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. |

Paramount

rank | Wed Jan 06 17:28:35 2021 it wasn't meant to be complete list for brevity's sake.. google gives car accidents at ~39k per year currently |

rank | Thu Jan 07 11:24:28 2021 What commedian was it initially? If only there had been some way to find out. Will Rogers! Of course. |

patom
rank | Thu Jan 07 13:02:38 2021 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. |
