The fact that infants dying is the highest by far just shows how cruel nature is without modern medicine and birthing practices

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 7 minutes ago* (last edited 7 minutes ago)

in college, i did a fair amount of number crunching on mortality statistics and the demographic transition. here's some numbers i remember from the 1700s:
life expectancy: 40
life expectancy at age 20: 72
modern medicine has not added much to our longevity, we've just gotten rid of childhood mortality.

Everyone is caught up on Cancer and Wolf and I'm over here like... Burst and Rupture?!?!!!!

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 2 points 45 minutes ago (1 children)

I think it's like ruptured organs like an appendix bursting or something like that

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

i was going to suggest it might also be fistula but i see it listed separately

This is specifically a Dethklok track list. Some of these are kinda brutal.

Producer: Okay, but... "Teeth?"

Band: ::complaints and groans of disbelief::

Nathan: They're like... bone knives. In your face. And kids lose their first set with blood and agony, and then you get even more. It's so f---ing brutal. So we made a song about it.

Toki: Plus it's important to teach the kids about brushing.

Swissgar: Yous don't want to be losings your bone face knives.

"Be careful, my relative tried chemo for the first time and died 3 days later to a wolf attack."

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 5 points 5 hours ago

Hard to say which one finished them off. Better put both.

Political bars.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

blood loss or starvation i'd imagine.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Rising of the lights!

Apparently any condition that caused lots of coughing.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 16 points 9 hours ago

I like killed by several accidents.

Also teeth seems like a popular one.

[–] e8CArkcAuLE@piefed.social 3 points 7 hours ago

at least 7 people had a fetish for succubus-nurses.

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

In 400 years our list of conditions will seem similarly naive and simplistic.

Been to a doctor lately? We can't cure shit. We've got a few meds that can help balance systems or mask pain. We can cut shit open and rearrange it. We can zap some shit with radiation. But actually fix anything? Nah. Maybe in another 400 years.

"Oh, look, they treated obesity as a disease. And heart disease? Hahaha that's funny. Hearts are so simple.Cant believe cancer is its own category. Everyone knows what causes that and how to treat it."

I will say the improvement in infant mortality is amazing. At no time in human history have infants had a better chance of survival than now(ish). So maybe I'm just cynical and disillusioned with the current state of my medical care.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

If you are truly cynical you would realize that Society will collapse long before 400 years, matter of fact, let me glance at the clock.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 hours ago

"lol they died of having a pitiful human body"

[–] werty@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

Lunatique has to be someone's name by now
