This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Statistically if you're born, at some point you will die. Being born is deadly.

About 90-95% of humans have died at some point in their lives so yeah very likely we will follow suit at some point.

It's more than that... I know you were joking but ...

Yeah it's estimated but it's a shit ton of people so it's more like 99.9%

Hang on there based on the image, 7.95 billion alive today, 109 billion have lived and died, that's like 93% death rate not 99.9%. Is there some other figure on the page you're basing the 99.9% off?
