  Humans have this wonderful thing called painkillers and we hardly die from predation anymore.

  Yes death sucks, but it’s nowadays a mild experience

    Most humans die from disease/car crash/suicide/murder.

    Painkillers help but that doesn’t change how painful these things are to experience it just helps.

      Suicide/murder is not even top 10 based on what I’m seeing.

      • www.cdc.gov/nchs/…/leading-causes-of-death.htm (US deaths 2021)

      • www.who.int/…/the-top-10-causes-of-death (Global deaths 2019)

      Admittedly I only quickly googled them and skimmed for the stats.

      I think you’re underestimating the effect of painkillers given when you’re going to die. Otherwise, yeah, fatal car crashes can be painful, or you can die instantly and I have no idea what the ratio is on either.

  You’re also vastly more likely to be a beetle than any other animal.

  Statistics don’t mean that much.

    Yeah but that beetle is still more than likely going to die a painful death.

      To the extent that a beetle even can feel pain. That doesn’t translate to the likelihood of any human death in pain.

  The top three causes of death are heart disease, stroke, and pulmonary disease. Heart disease can be painful but can also result in a relatively painless death by heart attack. Stroke can cause pain, but death by stroke can be quick and painless. Pulmonary disease is more likely than not really brutal if it's fatal, with people suffering from it suffering from a feeling that they're drowning constantly.
