A new app called Death Clock claims it can use artificial intelligence to predict exactly when you will die. The app also features a countdown clock that features your death day and a picture of the Grim Reaper.

I remember Death Clock from my middle school times (early 2000s) https://web.archive.org/web/20080510112324/https://www.death-clock.org/

It was popular enough that I was asked to calculate classmate's death dates for them (not many people had internet yet).

App's busted, all it does is try to click the "Post" button if I'm not typing and keeps showing a negative num-

Imagine installing the app, doing the survey and the countdown starts at 30 seconds.

Let me give you a more accurate answer than this app: "not just yet". precision not guaranteed.

Just have ChatGPT quiz you on your lifestyle and habits and then guess, at that point.

It'll probably be more precise but less accurate

Of course, even with Ruffle, this old Flash game doesn't work anymore.

The best way to make sure your prediction comes true is to make it happen yourself hmm 🤔
