Starting a meta-leaderboard for tracking who holds the record for ranking behind the most distinct people on an online leaderboard.

[Cueball is seated at a desk, and uses a laptop. White Hat is standing right behind him.]
Cueball: I'm ranked 7,145,000^th^ globally on this chess platform.
Cueball: It's hard to be ranked that low in any activity.[Zoom on Cueball talking]
Cueball: Few pastimes even have 7 million rated players. Until the Internet, it wasn't really possible. You could be this bad, but only unofficially.[Cueball is now facing White Hat]
Cueball: So in a sense, I'm worse at chess than anyone was at anything for most of human history.
White Hat: Why are you still doing it?[Cueball is back on the laptop]
Cueball: Well, no human has ever had this many friends to play with.
White Hat: That person is calling you some very obscene names.
Cueball: Our friendship is complicated.

In that case I'd expect the wording to be "time lived", not "number of seconds lived".
I don't think the time someone is born is registered that precisely anywhere, so it would probably be very hard to get anyone to agree on it.
You know I thought of how to word that better, but wasn't sure I could convey what I meant clearly enough. I should have just used something like 'time lived'.
