I’m on the hedonistic treadmill enjoying the run

I think you’re confusing average with median. If 90% of people make it to 70, but 10% die before reaching 5 years, you’d have average life expectancy at birth of about 60, but 90% of the people will live longer. That’s why prehistoric life expectancy values are misleading. It wasn’t that uncommon to reach an older age, just a lot more humans didn’t survive the first few years

In Poland, in addition to various versions of ‘I shit on it’, we also have “koło chuja mi to lata”, which roughly means “it flies around my dick”. The translation doesn’t give it justice, but I can’t come up with anything better

Same in Poland!
