What a time to... Exist? Yeah.... The future sucks.

From the post:

>“Are You Dead?”, known as Sileme in Chinese, was launched in May and is now the most downloaded paid app in China, where millions of people live alone. Users need to check in with the app every two days by clicking a large button to confirm that they are alive. Otherwise, the app will inform the user’s appointed emergency contact that they may be in trouble, Chinese state-run outlet Global Times reports. The app is marketed as a “safety companion” for those who live far from home or choose a solitary lifestyle.
