Death count

[daset]

hmm i wonder at what point the amount of cuts ive received over the years totals one death?
i wonder then how many times ive died, heh

Well, maybe you could count the number of cells in your body have died and divide that by the total number of cells you have in your body currently.

[Lord_Doskias]

or i could just pick a number and go with that, save myself the cells that will die over thinking about how many have died

[Mas Tnega]

one death = unit
deca = unit x 10 (decadeath = 10 deaths) = unit*10^1
hecta = unit x 100 = unit*10^2
kilo = unit x 1,000 = unit*10^3
mega = unit x 1,000,000 = unit*10^6
giga = unit x 1,000,000,000 = unit*10^9
tera = unit x 1,000,000,000,000 = unit*10^12

I am not satisfied. I want to go up to exa. Not peta, exa. zetta and yotta are excessive, exa. Even if there are only 6 gigameat-units around globally.

'giga meat'

Awesome term.
I like!

M-M-M-Monster Kill!

I would like to see counts on hmmmmmm.

well it would be cool if it was divided into counts from both the ones that die of a direct nuke and then all the others who suffer radiation death after some time.

yah!

may i inquire what a megadeath is? i guess its a million deaths?

Yes. As in SI notation:

one death = unit
deca = unit x 10 (decadeath = 10 deaths) = unit*10^1
hecta = unit x 100 = unit*10^2
kilo = unit x 1,000 = unit*10^3
mega = unit x 1,000,000 = unit*10^6
giga = unit x 1,000,000,000 = unit*10^9
tera = unit x 1,000,000,000,000 = unit*10^12

deci = unit x 0.1 = unit*10^(-1)
centi = unit x 0.01 = unit*10^(-2)
mili = unit x 0.001 = unit*10^(-3)
&c.

Thus, one centideath is the death of one hundreth of a person Perhaps a really bad cut.

Only megadeaths or megacorpses has been used by the military for deaths from thermonuclear war, where as kilo/giga/teradeaths isn't. Because only mega- realy fits the number of casualities you would expect.

Yeah, but I thought that the idea of a centideath was funny, and the only way that I could use it was to use the entire table. Sue me.

Maybe having frostbite in your finger would be a centideath Cuts heal.

[xander]

Maybe having frostbite in your finger would be a centideath :P Cuts heal.

If I donate a kidney to a family member, would that count as 5 milideaths (for losing ~0.5% of my body mass) or 500 milideaths (as losing both kidneys results in one death, losing half of your kidneys should result in half a death)? Or should I be measuring in picodeaths?
