So what can happen to you in that time? You produce 0.4 millilitres of saliva per minute and 0.5 - 1 liter per day. That means in a life time you can fill anywhere between 180 to 360 bath tubs full of spit. Men cry an average of 1 time per month and women 2.7 times, giving you an average of 1,745 good cries per lifetime. The average adult is not getting their 10,000 steps in as the average US adult only takes around 5,100 steps per day. But in a lifetime it ends up being a pretty impressive 146 million steps. If the average stride length is 0.71 metres then you'll walk around the length of the equator around 2.6 times. Men are continually making new sperm producing 1 to 10 trillion sperm cells in a lifetime and people generally start having sex around age 16 to 17. The baby boomers have had an average of 11 sexual partners but millennials are only expected to have around 8 sexual partners throughout their lives. From the ages 20 to 60, it's estimated to learn 1 to 2 new words per day with an average total of 42 thousand words. This number declines as we age and is likely related to our brain decaying at a rate of 5% per decade after the age of 40. The average person 15 years or older in the US works 7.9 hours per day. And with the average age of retirement being 63, you'll spend about 16 years in total at the office. But are you really working or just looking at memes? One study found that young adults use their phones 5 hours per day and check their phone in 30 second burst 85 times a day. When you do the maths that adds up to almost 13 years on your phone. That doesn't even include Netflix where subscribers spend upwards of 500 hours per year streaming content, which means at this rate you'd spend around 4.5 years watching Netflix. In your lifetime you might be a millionaire with the average bachelor degree holder earning 1.8 million and those with a college degree earning 1.1 million. Of your fortune alcohol consumption accounts for about 0.9% of annual income with 515 spent on alcohol per year. Per day men sleep about 496.4 minutes and women sleep for 507.6 minutes on average, a statistically significant 11 minutes more than men which means more than a third of your life is spent snoozing. But even when you're awake we spend 10% of our day with our eyes closed as the average person blink 28,800 times per day or 15 to 20 blinks per minute. By the age of 30 you'll likely get the flu twice every decade. The incidence may decrease as medicine continues to improve but may also increase because of the amount of time we spend indoors. A study in the journal of nature found that we spend 87% of our lives indoors and 6% in a vehicle The Earth, which you are currently standing on will travel 73 billion 8 hundred 84 million kilometres in your lifetime. So no mater what happens, you've travelled billions of kilometres through space and that's pretty cool. Thank you so much for watching. And now you know what happens in 1 lifetime, you can also find out what happens in 1 minute in the end of the video which we will link to over there. It is equally as fun.
