The Death Watch

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

So apparently, there is now a watch out called the Tikker. Its purpose is to count down your moments until death.

 

You just do things like tell it your age, weight, and risk factors, and it "calculates" (Presumably read as 'Pulls a number out of its ass) how long you have until you kick the bucket. 

 

 

How much do you have to pay to be constantly reminded that you will die? $59.00 per Tikker. Who would be crazy enough to pay $60 to be reminded they will die?

 

Supposedly the purpose of the Tikker is to "Encourage people to spend their time more wisely,"

 

Although they neglected to mention it, I assume it makes a wonderful gift for any occasion. 

 

 

Also, it was funded with KickStarter.

 

What do you think of this watch?

You know, I've checked this kind of thing before.

It's really depressing, actually.

[Demonic Soulz 483]

Thats mesed up. who would want something as depresing as this? Always knowing you will die at a exact amount of time 

[Scootalove 10,689]

That watch must bring a lot of depression for people that don't want to know when they die and how they will die. The death watch must be something from an unknown land.

Was I the only one that thought this thread was gonna have something to do with Star Wars?

Nope. You're not alone on that one.

O yay now I have a device telling me when I die.... Yeah.. ... Total freaking fail.

[Celtore 2,770]

I don't know how I would react to getting that as a gift... It would encourage me to worry about something that really shouldn't be paid that much attention. I don't see how I could enjoy life with that thing, I feel like it cause me to rush everything I do and push me away from any sort of hobby I enjoy.

Oh, for a moment after reading the title I was going to be all like "True Mandalorians bitches!"

 

But anyway, yea that's kinda depressing. Would rather by that new smart phone/watch hybrid thing.

Did anyone else think of futurama after reading the whole thing.

[DubWolf 17,263]

I think the Tikker takes off a few years just for purchasing it, in a jokingly and serious way. Knowing you're closer to dying probably adds some psychological stress that will only make it much worse.

yep that was my first reaction  it would have been hilarious if at actually looked like the death clock.

[Smarts 1,622]

I like it. I like it so much that I would buy one. Just because I buy one, doesn't mean I'll spend my time any differently. I want to see how long I have left and I hope it's short. Being constantly reminded of my imminent demise is something I take great happiness in knowing.  -_- 

[Judgement 445]

This would be cruel to give somebody for their 100th birthday. Heck, it would be cruel to give to anybody for their birthday. I don't want to know when I'm going to die. Don't risk factors constantly change throughout your life too?
