AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a humorous and skeptical take on a lifespan prediction quiz that participants have taken. Many express disbelief in the accuracy of the results, with comments suggesting that factors like pessimism, smoking, and BMI yield wildly varying predictions about life expectancy. Participants share their own results, often leading to playful banter about their supposed longevity, with some joking about needing to change their attitudes or habits to extend their lives. The conversation also touches on the absurdity of the quiz's implications, with users making light of the idea of "necromancy insurance" and the concept of being "dead but not knowing it." Overall, the thread highlights a mix of humor, skepticism, and camaraderie among users as they navigate the quirky nature of the quiz.

That is absolute BS. You can't decide whether you are pssimistic or sad or happy accurately.

Another crap questionnaire.

It said my lifespan is already used up, and I should be dead.

I suddenly feel like Bruce Willis.
 
  • #20
I took the test again and said I am an optimistic and it said you would die in Saturday, January 19, 2075! Now I know what to do if I want to die sooner!:rolleyes:

I'm 50, pessimistic, smoke, and had a height to weight ratio that they said was prone to health problems. (I don't know about that latter: all I have is a normal middle-aged male belly. I'm hardly fat.)

74 wtf.

I'm a fit 18 year old who actively runs and such, with a fairly trim BMI (17), and my family members usually live long.

This quiz sucks .
 
  • #26
well, 3 is my lucky no. so, 81 seems quite reasonable age.:biggrin:

i was a bit surprised to find out i am going to be 82...(1980-2062) although i am a big smoker like you. Do i have superior genes ? :redface:

I put pessimistic the first time, said I'd die at 58. Second time I put normal, said I'd die a good 40 years later. :rolleyes:

Either way, the seconds are counting down! Better get back to PFing... oh wait...

I just realized that, although my time has run out, it didn't say when it ran out. I wonder when I died?

It will tell you. I ran a few tests and it said I ran out, and it also said the date. For example, it told me that I ran out, and I died in Feb 2003.


edit... BMI seems to have no influence whatsoever.

So sad to hear of your untimely demise. If we had known, we surely would have had a thread about it. :frown:

That's very thoughtful of you, Evo. I would have announced it myself, but, of course, I didn't know either.

I am sure it came as quite a shock. So, what will you do, now that you're dead?

Yeah, ever since I watched the "Sixth Sense" I have checked to make sure I wasn't dead and didn't know it every day...

How would you know though? You could have died from something internal, like a heart attack or blood poisoning. Then could be dead for ages and not even know it.

I have thought about that...the easiest way to tell if you're dead is to see if the government is still collecting taxes...once I see that I am no longer being taxed then I will know that I am dead... :smile:

On income tax...pretty sure, unless you're privy to some kind of dead person income tax I wasn't made aware of. Crap...you mean to tell me I really could be dead... :cry:

I just don't see it. Why would they stop merely because you're dead?

Not so much, no. Just mildly surprising.
So, what will you do, now that you're dead?
I'll just continue with my usual posts in S&D, debunking ghosts and the afterlife.

Legally there is no way to collect taxes from a dead guy. There is especially no reason to collect social security from a dead guy... :smile:
