It's wild to think about how short human history is. For example, the iron age started approximately 1200BC, which means that if you are 32 years old you have been alive for 1% of the time humans have used iron. If you are 54 years old then you have lived through 1% of horses being domesticated, the wheel being used for transport, written language and living in towns. 🤯

Amazing way of looking at things. If you consider that the US was "born' in 1776, I've experienced almost 25% of its lifetime. Mind blowing.

@bit101 And if you are 60 years old then you have lived through 3% of Christianity and if you are 70 then you have lived through 5% of Islam.

@gundersen This would make a fun web app. Enter your birth date, get all kinds of interesting percentages.
