This is a pretty awesome webpage by the BBC using UN Population Growth data. Enter in your DOB and it will look at what place you were in history. Hard to explain, but pretty good when played around with. You can also look at details of your Country (births, deaths, immigration) as well as the fastest growing and shrinking Nations. As well as this, the national life expectancy, with finally, your personal results.

Check it out :)

PS - this also makes me wonder that, for the most part, contraception was not around, yet when it was, the population of the world practically exploded. SHUT YOUR LEGS, WOMEN! Jeez. The world is only finite.

    All population data are based on estimates by the UN Population Division and all calculations provided by the UN Population Fund. The remaining data are from other sections of the UN, the Global Footprint Network and the International Telecommunications Union.

    this makes me nervous for some reason ... the UN keeping tabs on how many people there are in the world

    It's kind of crazy to think about how many people came before me.


    Apparently the fastest shrinking country is Moldova. I have never heard of that place.

    I did why would I lie to a useless piece of code?
  • edited November 2011
    Well fuck dude.

    Does the 15th of a month starting with "M" mean anything to you?

    This isnt complicated code and looking at it on your own isnt anything; but I believe that you have all just dropped some day/month/year data here.

    I was born on May 15 1962 big deal. My real name is Douglas. Hurt me with that FFS.
  • edited November 2011
    I deliberately left out the month and year because i think doxxing people is a scandalous and terrible thing to do.

    But meanwhile EVERYONE who has posted their 'what number person' figure in this thread has dropped their d.o.b unless then put in a fake or generic.

    I might get accused of causing drama but I figure thats worth bringing to peoples attention in case they didnt know.
