+41 Considering how easy and random it is to die, it's pretty amazing that so many people still make it to old age, amirite?

I dunno the odds of randomly dying seem pretty low. The average person probably knows about 250, and probably only knows 1 or 2 that died randomly. This probably also depends on your definition of dying randomly.

Accidents are so easy. Clearly the odds are in our favor, but considering all the possible ways one can die, accidental or not, it's quite something to think we can go through life

Accidents are so easy, but the chance of actually happening on a random person is low. Most people can live a long life without experiencing a life threatening accident.

The odds of being alive in the first place are even more astounding

Yep. I'm with you here. Not only is it an optimistic, altruistic view; the math works out too

This is why, if you were granted immortality-1, being ageless, you'd probably still die in under 10,000 years.

A one in ten-thousand chance of dying any given year? Nah, that's way too high. The calculations I've seen give the average life to be about 300,000 years if we didn't age.

What calculations are those? Is that based on like actuarial tables or something like that?

Which is to say it is not that easy or random. Also it probably depends on where on earth you happen to live.

being alive after everything that ive been through is just straight up a miracle.

Please take this as proof that you don't fully understand the concept. Reality has shown that it is harder and less random than you think.

I've danced with death more than once. Almost didn't make it back from the last waltz. Death is overrated.
