Sometimes it's easy to miss the good old days when the internet was a simpler place.
Much like how game consoles used to have way cooler menus, the web used to be stuffed full of interesting, weirdly-designed websites that didn't try to be everything to everyone.
Instead, they'd have a niche that they went for and inhabited really effectively - and we've just found one example that does this idea perfectly.

Go to Death Date and you'll be greeted by a scary skull and the question "When will you die?".
If you were curious, the website will give you just this answer - after you fill in a quick form with your age and a few other details.
It gives you three options for how optimistic or pessimistic you want the outlook to be - this could make for a difference of decades, although we don't really have any idea how it's all worked out.

As a grand finale, you'll get the exact time and date for your potential death, with an accompanying countdown ticking away.
If you pause and actually let yourself think about it too much, it can get a little bit trippy, as you start to consider how much time you might have left on Earth.
On top of that, the website also gives you three words to roughly estimate your cause of death - in our case we got 'hospital', 'heat' and 'water'.

That's not exactly a heartening trio - maybe we'll die trying to fix a broken hospital boiler?!
Still, the flipside of this is that the optimistic version of the prediction could see you living well into the second half of this century.
And it's fascinating to think about what crazy technological advances we might have made in that time, and what wild new things we'll be able to do.
But before you get too swept away in the numbers, just remember - this is a random website, rather than actual science. It's a bit of fun, but we wouldn't pay much more attention to it than that.

And if you wanted to continue the journey, there are plenty of other sites to choose from after you've found out your death date - such as what your age is on Mars, and what you'll reincarnate as in your next life.
