At one point I was ranked dead last in the entire world for number of seconds lived.
Chances are you shared that position with someone else.
Not if it’s measured with a fractional part.
I wonder if the rate is high enough and the distanced large enough that relativity could make it so people on opposite ends of the world disagree on which baby was born first. Then again, birth takes a lot longer than a second and it’s not really possible to pinpoint an exact timestamp when the baby is born and wasn’t previously.
You were in first for “youngest person” though!
There really is an xkcd for everything.

I hear a dead rat is actually pretty good at this game. Way better than I was.

Have you tried playing it with a live rat that you shake and squeeze?

Of all the games that I would expect to have a global ranking, that is the absolute last.
