It’s morbid, sure. But it’s also oddly comforting. Seeing a long list of 94-year-olds who lived full lives makes your own messy morning—spilled coffee, missing socks—feel manageable. “Well, I’m not dead today. That’s a win.”

It’s the digital version of reading the fine print. You skim the names, note the ages, and think, “I still have time to fix my life.” Then you scroll a little more and see a 29-year-old pianist died in a freak accident. Okay, maybe I should just enjoy this sandwich.
The Great Leveler
On that page, nobody cares about your job title or your follower count. It’s just “Jane Doe, 78, loved gardening.” You could be a CEO or a zookeeper—the obituary boils you down to your best, most relatable trait. It’s like a LinkedIn profile, but with 100% less buzzwords and 100% more heartfelt anecdotes about birdwatching.
You realize that all our silly dramas—traffic jams, annoying coworkers, bad hair days—are just background noise for the main event. The feed is a gentle, morbid whisper: “Don’t forget to call your mom. Also, did you water that plant?”
So the next time you see “People Who Died Today,” give it a click. Pour one out for Geraldine’s pie. Remember the guy who taught you the Macarena. Laugh a little. Cry a little (but only if you’re in the privacy of your own home).
Because in the end, we’re all just a future entry in that list. And hopefully, your summary will be something like, “Loved pizza, terrible at dancing, made a few people smile.” That’s a pretty good headline.
