Predicting Your Demise – The Death Clock App #1783

December 03, 2024

Have you ever wondered when your time might come? The Death Clock app uses AI and data from 1,200 life expectancy studies to make educated guesses about your lifespan. By analyzing your habits and lifestyle, it provides predictions—and even offers tips to live longer (if you’re willing to pay). Is it science or just a curiosity? I would predict that most people don’t want to know their expected death timeline.
