I am so glad I didn't bring any children into this world.

For real. And now I feel like people are either extremely stupid or just monsters for having kids.
Humanity is wasted. Its wild that I think I might actually favor a humanity ending natural disaster over continuing whatever the fuck humans are doing now.

Edgy...
Despite having no desire to have kids, I'd much rather be born today than pretty much any time before the last few generations.
-
That really depends on where you were born and what status you were born into. You could be born into a lot of places today that you would starve or live under miserable conditions.
-
Of course, but your chances overall are better today regardless of class/status etc.
Even being the child of royalty had no guarantees. For example Henry VIII had 13 legitimate children. Only 3 lived past infancy, and 1 of those died age 15.

In 1900, the average life expectancy of a newborn was 32 years. By 2021 this had more than doubled to 71 years.
in 1800, no region had a life expectancy higher than 40 years.

That's the point I'm making, it's not about YOU, you are not the child being born. Your opinion doesn't matter to the kid being born.
-
What? I'm saying that if I was the kid being born I would rather be born today than in the 1500s.
