Death Clock says it utilizes AI to analyze age, weight, sex, smoking and drinking habits, body mass index (BMI), fitness, diet and country of residence to predict your death date down to the hours, minutes and seconds of the proposed date. The calculator also asks users about their general "outlook" on life.
Along with determining the users’ alleged cause of death, they can also analyze how their predicted life expectancy compares to those with a similar BMI and the same sex.
The Death Clock includes a disclaimer that the calculator is “unlikely to predict your actual date of death” and “should be used for fun only."
According to the website's statistics page, over 63.8 million "death tests" have been run, with over 64% of those tests being for male users.
The site also offers common-sense tips for living longer than its proposed predictions. It advises users to maintain a healthy weight, exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes every day, avoid smoking, eat a balanced diet, limit alcohol intake, attempt to get good quality sleep, attend regular medical check-ups, practice stress management techniques, maintain social connections, and keep their minds active.
