Sure, but that's also the ideal way to go out. Definitely beats being one of those people that shakes a vending machine in a fit of a rage and ends up being crushed over a bag of Cheetos.

No shit, that's why you should sleep at night.

That's why I sleep at night

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was already going to go to sleep. You don’t have to sell me on it.

You son of a bitch, I'm in!

Jokes on you, I'm into this shit!

Well sure, but if you think about the fact that there are 8.1 billion people in the world and then consider that if you're really lucky you might live to 100... That's (365 × 100) × (60k ÷ 8.1b) × (100%)... You only have a 27% chance of dying this way... Honestly didn't expect it to be that high.

Did you know you have a 27% chance of dying in your sleep at some point in your lifetime? Hi, I'm Celebrity Personality and with your help, and your generous donation of the cost of a cup of coffee, we can reduce that number and help keep people safe.

Hello Arithmetic Wizard, I have the ADHD and math anxiety if not full on Dyscalculia so I was wondering if I could employ your help to figure out a formula for the likelihood of dying from something that kills 500 out of 333,287,557 people yearly?

My best translation from your equation is: (365 x 100) x (500 ÷ 333,287,557) x (100%), but I feel like that would be slightly off because I suck at this.

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I doubt my math is correct, I always sucked at statistics, but if you were to convert my previous nonsense you wouldn't multiply by 365 since you already have the yearly rate rather than the daily rate so it would be: (100) × (500 ÷ 333,287,557) × (100%) = 0.015%

Well hey it works for me lol, right or not! Thank you!

From what I understand- no one dies peacefully in their sleep. They always wake up… then die.

You could definitely have an aneurism in your sleep. Those can be pretty much instant death.

this is what I actually think of every time I go to bed

unrelated, but I have been diagnosed with GAD and insomnia

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

When i die, I'm going out like Elvis. On the toilet.

[–] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago

That's actually a good death, probably the best.

I think you're a lot more likely to die awake than to die asleep
