This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

About 90-95% of humans have died at some point in their lives so yeah very likely we will follow suit at some point.

It's more than that... I know you were joking but ...

Yeah it's estimated but it's a shit ton of people so it's more like 99.9%

You underestimate the effects of population growth. There was a lot of time in prehistory but the population at any given point was tiny compared to today.

Those people were alive and died it doesn't matter... There have been more people dead than are currently living by a lot.

We don't care how many people were alive back than compared to today. It's the total amount to how many have died...

We don’t care how many people were alive back than compared to today.

But that is exactly the ratio you claim to be 99.9% when in reality it is closer to 93%.
