#internet oddities

very odd video inserted into the middle of a legit playlist for an extremely obscure ambient musician (Subheim is very good).

its just AI SEO nonsense for an hour, and it has 12,888,407 views. it was uploaded on June 11th 2025. the album i was listening to was released in 2020. the person who made the Subheim playlist is TimeLordLaFemme, here's their YouTube bio

they haven't uploaded any videos, but make playlists regularly. all the ones i clicked had the weird video as the third entry

so. deathdate.vip happened to me.

you feed this cursed little website your age, habits, and a shred of hope, and it hands you a personalized death clock like it’s a fucking netflix expiration date.

my results:

birth: 1992

death: "☠️ june 2049 ☠️" (age 57)

immediate reaction: [cracks open third monster energy drink] "guess we’re speedrunning life, boys"

why it’s lowkey terrifying: ✔ the countdown timer ticks in real time ✔ adjusts if you change habits (quit smoking = +4 years) ✔ uses actual CDC data (this is not a zodiac joke)

why i can’t look away:

it predicted my grandma’s lifespan within 2 years (spooky)

the "death probability by age" graphs are weirdly pretty

now i have an excuse to yeet my juul into the sun

try it if: ✓ you enjoy existential dread ✓ need motivation to floss ✓ want to freak out your group chat

avoid if: ✗ you’ve ever googled "health anxiety" ✗ currently going through a Blue Period™ ✗ wanted to sleep tonight

They came up in my Spotify recommended albums and I was immediately blown away by them. So I went to check out their website:

The whole website is in character.

They have blog entries, which are backdated.

People are still posting in the comments section, which is on every page and is conducted as roleplay.

They have some YouTube videos posted across a couple of accounts, but with the dates fudged. Their one album has a release date of 1998, and this is, to be clear, consistent across Spotify and every other platform that has information about it, but I have to imagine that this is fudged too. Shitposting about communism wasn't yet that advanced.
