I wanted to counter this with the fact that you and me are both still alive, so the rate is only approaching 100%, but probably never quite there.
Then I did a safety google, and got to learn that fatality rate apparently doesn’t care about the time until death. So as long as I don’t assume I’m immortal, your fact still holds true.
But then I remembered that some jellyfish and sponges are considered to be be more or less immortal.
Which raises the question: do we count beings which will most probably die out due to the expansion of our own sun as part of that 100% rate?
Dihydrogen monoxide has a 100% fatality rate. You shouldn’t joke about it.
Terrorist will drink that stuff before attacks
A single water molecule has more hydrogen atoms than all stars known in our solar system (totally stealing this joke)
Didn’t get it… Are you implying that the Sun doesn’t count?
How many hydrogen atoms are in a water molecule?
We only have one sun. But there are two hydrogens in H2O
Got it 🫣
Fuck me that took 3 reads to understand. Might need a top-up in the old coffee department.

A surprisingly large portion of all humans who ever lived are alive today (the first result I found says 7%)!
I think we are approaching Ship of Theseus territory.
But more specifically I was referring to the human rate.
