If you could download an App which would tell you when you will die, would you run it?

Question may or may not have been inspired by bad movie.

My answer

I think I would. I hate surprises. :lol:

There used to be a website called Death Clock that predicted when you were going to die based on a questionnaire on lifestyle and such.

EDIT: it’s still going :D

I think most people on here would download an app that accurately predicts when I will die.

Maybe?

I think I’d be a lot more interested in how I was going to die alongside actually knowing when.

It uses BMI and whether you smoke so it’s changed a little since I was a teen.

Annoyingly the date box didn't work, but the second timer did.

I have just over 33 years left, which would take me to 75.

If you were 20 and knew you would die at 90, you'd have a strawberry floating great time. Nothing could kill you!

But it'd be awful if you found out you were going to die at 21.

I've got until 2058 according to the death clock.

I would refuse at first then finally give in and when I opened up the app it would start counting down from 10.

If Albear told me I had 12 hours to live, I’d celebrate because it would mean I had years left.

I’d 100% want to know if I’m wasting my time planning and saving for the future, learning skills or knowledge I’ll never use, starting things I’ll never finish etc.

It'd be handy to know.

Would be a right shitter for inheritance :lol: which would actually benefit society substantially...

Invent the real death clock!

It would probably massively reduce tax earned through inheritance as any gift you make over 7 years from your death is exempt from Inheritance Tax, so people would be able to time it as efficiently as possible.

Id hate it. At least you can live in ignorance that youre going to make it your 90s, rather than knowing youll die of cancer in 3.

Guess there would be lots of different behaviour. I was thinking everyone would time it so they run out of money on the day they die. Depends how much they would want to support their kids, I guess :lol:.
