Show HN: You will die in X weeks

&gt; There&#x27;s nothing quite like contemplating the finiteness of life to help you to stop procrastinating.<p>I had the total opposite thought. Seeing this makes me realize how stupid it is to toil one&#x27;s life away for a career

The section at the end displaying famous figures and their milestones seems a little bit counterintuitive, at least from a certain perspective. If the goal is to get visitors to stop procrastinating, it&#x27;s pretty disheartening to display that information and make the visitor realize they&#x27;ve likely done nothing in their life by comparison.

&quot;If it takes 50 weeks to become advanced at any skill, you can learn about 44 new skills during your career or 64 if you include retirement. Might as well pick something for this week&quot;<p>This last statement really stood out to me. Especially as someone who has been feeling like theyre are late to the career phase of life.

Trigger warning for anyone with depression or anxiety - this will more than likely make you feel like crap.

&quot;On average, women get 364 weeks of life than men&quot;<p>I think this should say &quot;364 more weeks&quot;.

It was cool but by the time I got to the part of people’s accomplishments I felt utterly worthless and left.<p>God damn, I haven’t accomplished much of anything in my life except writing code and accumulating money to spend on making more money.

This is not an original idea: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;waitbutwhy.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;05&#x2F;life-weeks.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;waitbutwhy.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;05&#x2F;life-weeks.html</a><p>But I don&#x27;t see credits anywhere.

I like it! I think it should also add in &quot;If you commute 2 hours&#x2F;day, 5 days per week, you&#x27;ll spend X weeks sitting in a car.&quot;

I built an interactive visualization that shows you how many weeks of life you have left. Seeing the finiteness of life definitely helps me stop procrastinating!

Maan, can you please give me the exact date so i can make arrangements??<p>Also, does this take into account leap years?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ON8cTi5NSMc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ON8cTi5NSMc</a>

Yeah no way I&#x27;m getting depressed on a Friday afternoon

The contemplation of death is a necessary exercise for a well-rounded mind. All the better that it&#x27;s now available with a slick UI.

This is why there is a tradition of skull watches:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.watches.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;skull-watches-over-time&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.watches.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;skull-watches-over-time&#x2F;</a>

Would be nice to have lines representing decades. Also I doubt 91 year lifespan.

Curious why this seems to make a record in a database with an autoincrement ID for each sumbission(<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.failflow.com&#x2F;die&#x2F;1102" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.failflow.com&#x2F;die&#x2F;1102</a>). Try putting a number &lt;1500 at the end of the URL to see some strangers&#x27; answers.

You could make the memorable pop-ups on hover instead of on click. It would make it faster than trying to find that small rectangle you&#x27;re supposed to click.

I prefer looking at in months. If you make a grid 36 across and 30 tall, those are the months of a 90 year life. Much easier for me to fit in my head.

Some sort of death clock?
