Very odd.

I don’t see why it matters if you say your 15 years old 5 thousand some thing days of like 100k odd hours. they are just units of time. could also just say your a decade and a half or on your second revolution of the chinese zodiac (btw it has 5 elements so your fully go through the cycle at 60)

I didn’t say anything but I’m confused about how is it weird. We are 15~16 y/o.

Your teens and 20s are years where you learning who you are. Use whatever safe means available to you to do this. Explore ideas, embrace the absurd until you find your personal limits for it. You knowing who you are is so powerful and incredibly important to your happiness and success later in life.

If this app and the information it gives you gives you a perspective of reflection (which it sounds like it is) that is helpful to you in any way in gaining understanding about who you are and where you are in the world, in time, I say use it.

However, commit this experience to your memory. In the days and years ahead you’ll see others in life that are doing things that you may find weird or different. They too may be exploring for themselves who they are. Remember today when someone called something you’re doing “weird” and try to be respectful to those others when you encounter them later in life (as long as their actions don’t cross your boundaries of safety for yourself).

Just remember, if you enjoyed a time it’s not wasted. Being prolific is good and all, but don’t feel guilty for having fun. It’s not a waste.

I do the same but I use years instead.

It is wise, not weird.

Not many could stand that thought. That’s why they get upset. You are mentally stronger.

I remember how weird it came off when a coworker was announcing her 30th birthday with “One more year (or one less?)”

Consider tracking your statistical life expectation too (it changes over time), and maybe an additional personal guess about how many remaining days you still got.

I don’t really have any input to your question, but I do wonder what the app is called as it sounds interesting to me.

It’s futile, as you have zero idea when you’re going to die, every day could be your last man. I think what you’re doing is a good way to get some sort of anxiety disorder and I’d be happy to be wrong in this case as I wouldn’t wish that shit to anyone.

It’s objectively weird in the sense that most people don’t do that.

My grandpa used to do this way before smartphones, I remember his 30.000 days birthday when I was a kid.

I don’t know why your friend doesn’t like it. Ask your friend why they don’t like it.

If you use the actuary life tables for your expected lifespan, you can have a true mid-life crisis when you turn 39 or 41 depending if your male or female.

Or if you’re the age of one of the presidential candidates you’ll know what it feels like to have under 10 years of life expectancy remaining.

Anyway, I do think it’s weird. You have plenty of time to waste at your age. It would be a misuse of your youth to try and allocate your time wisely.

I’d rather be weird than normal.

I did this for a while in anticipation of my 10,000 Days birthday. I took that day off work and did nothing but play games, chill on the deck, drink beer, smoked a bit of weed and spun Tool’s “10,000 Days” album after smashing a pizza down my gullet for supper.

It was a great day.

Christ. This is morbid. Why would you have a clock ticking down to the end of your life??
