Erotic asphyxiation

Smoking and being obese(consistently eating in such a way that leads to obesity), statistically

Add drinking to it, and you've got the trifecta of early deaths.

Poor diet and exercise. Absolute top above everything else. Heart disease is the number one killer worldwide, and heart disease can be prevented in most people by a clean diet AND exercise. You need to do both, more of one doesn't make up for lack of the other.

(Well, aside from doing objectively dangerous things, like using dangerous drugs, going insanely fast on a motorcycle, or playing Russian roulette every day.)

Driving a car. Not necessarily your own life expectancy. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/road-traffic-injuries

Really makes you think

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 minutes ago

Have you tried not doing that? Worked pretty well so far.

I'd say 'keeping up with the Joneses'. Getting tangled up in that whole stress trap is so innocuous that many people don't appreciate how bad it is to push it all to the point that an affluent household is 2 paychecks away from destitution. It's just some cultural thing that keeps people awake at night and to even address it with candor is verboten

Riding a motorcycle, especially without proper gear.

Invading the Ukraine.

There was some "research" done on this. https://xkcd.com/369/

I like riding my motorcycle

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 33 minutes ago

Strange. Why is everyone posting all of my plans for the next 5 years?

Expecting, or pursuing the establishment of, human rights as a subjugate group or "subordinate" class.
