That is what happens when you consume dihydrogen monoxide daily. No one has survived after drinking it.

Around seven percent of people who’ve consumed dihydrogen monoxide have survived.

Has anyone in their 30s 40s 50s had a sudden change of perception of our own mortality? I found myself thinking a lot about it recently (no significant events around me). I just find life so ephemeral now as compared to how I used to see life so grand and long it might as well have been infinite. Not anymore. I guess it’s part of growing old. Anyone else feel similar?

Yep. IMO it’s a good thing. But there’s still a grand and long scale: how is that we arrived here at all, a momentary ripple in a larger fabric?

More the opposite direction for me. I’m so stressed, overworked, and beaten down by life that I don’t have the energy to worry about mortality like I did when I was younger.

When I die at least I won’t have to go to work anymore, is my thinking.

And I like my job, I can’t imagine what it’s like for people who don’t.

Yes, it’s very common (mostly) in men at that age.

You will someday lose your life, but try not to mope. You did get it for free, after all.

Childhood is the free trial, adulthood is the subscription that keeps increasing in cost.

Me too. We should get to know each other. Eventually. We have time.

A friend once told me that we’d stay out of each other’s way until the end of time, and then in the end we’d turn and attack each other.
