I am person number 4,420,164,425. Life expectancy 79.5 (on the NHS?) :D

What's next? The global population will continue to increase during your lifetime and beyond, reaching 10 billion by 2083. However, the rate of growth is expected to slow. Little of the current growth is happening in developed countries like yours.
Longer lives: Working-age people like you will be supporting increasing numbers of older people during the next decades. By 2050, there will be just 2.2 people of working age supporting every person aged 65 or older in the developed world. In Europe, this will drop to just two.
Battle for resources: It is estimated that your group of the richest countries consumes double the resources used by the rest of the world. The UN estimates that if current population and consumption trends continue, by the 2030s we will need the equivalent of two Earths to support us. (uh oh)
Did you know? The average family size globally has declined by half since 1950 - from five children in to the current 2.5.

Interesting and scary at the same time. :oops:

I wanted to do a test where i put 315bc as my birth year, but it wont accept a birth date prior to 01/01/1910 :DL
I guess I was hoping for a Life expectancy of: "You think you're funny dont you?"

:DL

24/12/0: You are 2010 years old (minus three days)

yeah, the life expectancy stays the same, no matter whart date you put in.
And Togoland is no accepted place of birth, even if you're born in 1910.

I'm 4,759,443,251st when born and 79,527,559,393rd alive since the beginning.

As for my life expectancy, I think it's gonna be a pretty big difference whether I'm counted as Russian or Canadian. It's either 78.5 or 61.4 years.

I really should stay in Canada then :dead:

78 years expected. My dad's about to turn 84, so I might beat the average. Then again I might keel over tomorrow. :dead:

Just for fun I put my dad's birthdate in. He's #2,035,879,841, almost exactly 500 million before me.

As of birthdate (12/16/1950): 2,553,402,464th person alive

Since history began: 75,731,710,821st

Average life expectancy (USA): 78 years

Since I'll turn 61 in December, it appears I can only expect 17 more years; I'd better get started on that Unified Theory of Everything...

Or, maybe I'l pop on down to the pub...

I'm 2,728,611,367th person ( my own guess was off by about 3), which is good because its square root is 52236.111714024046, which just happens to be my lucky number for Saturday's MEGA JUMBO BILLO-LOTTO jackpot this weekend.

My life expectancy is "Sunday," which is also good because I don't have work that day, having quit my job after winning the jackpot the day before.

i'll be 103 by then or more likely - 6 feet under.
there is certainly enough space oxygen and water on the planet for 10 billion, but there not really enough of anything else unfortunatly.

I'm 2,336,016,590. Must be the oldest fart on Subsim or very close to it.


A quick look at the graph on the bottom of the page may help explain why we are in some of the troubles we are in. The growth since 1900 is amazing.

There are few who a bit older, but you've got me beat by almost exactly 200 million. So now they can make jokes about you instead of me.

Well it's starting to change in the UK...and I know a few genuine recipients who are about to get hit hard in the next fortnight.

77,183,334,256th since we started and should live to the ripe old age of 79.1 though I reckon I'll kick on to at least 90.:O:

Heard an interesting stat on the radio yesterday that there are now more people alive in the world, than have ever died.
