To elaborate... I don't have the source but only about 50% of the male population is reproducing anyway so the more men dying in war/etc... just get swallowed up in the 50% not reproducing

Some people die twice.but men die earlier. So women live more years, so at any given time you´d expect more women to be alive than men.

But because of this there are more men born than women (105/100), so it almost evens out in the long run

Which people die twice, exactly?

Assuming they mean you can be “dead” but resuscitated immediately. It makes a great story and technically it’s a true statement, but you don’t get a death certificate for your heart stopping for 10 seconds. You are only recorded as dead once.

I was joking but there´s always the weird stories..

So nobody gets to be declared dead twice?

Well maybe not this one

Or this one

In wartime there´s also a chance

Or This

And this

Jesus
I guess people who’s hearts stop, are then revived, then die for good sometime later.

I don’t think these groups are large enough to meaningfully affect the gender balance statistics.

Did anyone poke Jesus with a stick to make sure he was dead? No they did not. Those ancient people knew nothing. Jesus will NOT be coming back because he knows someone will poke him with a stick.

No, I believe the tickle test was the primary test for death at the time. While it was pretty good for the technology of the time, it’s nowhere near as accurate as the stick test

Did you just try to outplay the largest religion on earth...

With a stick?

I like you

Thanks. If in a future copy of the Bible there appears a phrase that infers that someone DID poke Jesus with a stick, my job is done.

Well.. now I thought about it.. wasn´t there that roman soldier that not only poked him with a stick, but with a lance, and drew blood?

There´s been one or two, or a thousand pictures painted of it I seem to recall

Edit: Ow, they even gave the dude a nickname

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longinus

Ha. Stabbed Jesus with a lance? Saint. Obviously.

Things didn't work out well for him (the unnamed soldier), he should have used a stick.

Cured from blindness, became a saint.

Just pick and choose whatever you like. That´s how it works, no?

ELI5: how can the female to male population be almost 1:1 but men die more than women and the birth rate of men and women is almost equal (and the fisher principle doesn’t make sense because men have a higher death rate so how can it even out)?
