    I'd say it's depressing living in Moldova considering they lose on average 106 people per day.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    5,035,981,164th person born!

    What I find really scary is:

    It is estimated that your group of the richest countries consumes double the resources used by the rest of the world. The UN estimates that if current population and consumption trends continue, by the 2030s we will need the equivalent of two Earths to support us.

    Seen that one too, sitting here in my lovely warm office eating Tuna fillet and a cup of green tea, uncomfortable reading.

    It would appear there were around 155,000 born on the same day as me, so I'm somewhere between 3,055,396,125 and 3,055,705,786

    Christ I'm older than Wibbs and Beruthiel:(:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,931 ✭✭✭Zab


    I put in the 1st of January 1910 (the earliest date it accepts) and it says I'm the 1,744,890,692nd person alive. Which implies that there are 1.7 billion people alive over 101. I think this is clearly incorrect so I wouldn't trust any other information from the page.

    No - it means that the day you were born the world population was 1.7 billion people. It doesnt imply that all of them are still alive! :D

    You're right, I misread it. So the main figure is just the population of the earth when you were born. Seems like an awfully fancy mechanism to come up with this but my comment doesn't apply.
