Bug: How/Why would the "People older than you" number be increasing? The "People younger than you" number is the one that should be increasing due to new births and the older than should be decreasing due to people passing away. It's increasing with the same +3 that the world population clock is increasing by.
I don't understand the "you'll be the Xth billionth person the be alive in the world" at all. How does this number go up over time? When you're born, how can you be the "first" person to be alive? How am I heading towards eventually being the 9 billionth person alive?
I guess it means "oldest person?" If so, why not just say that?
Clicking on the snake chart thing also makes the age histograms on the left move to arbitrary places. I click on the dot around 43, and the age chart shows 41. I then click on the dot around 50 and the age chart shows 8.

Resurrection ?
If you are let’s say born in 1990 there were x people born this year.
Before 1990 there were boomers whose numbers each a year was higher so more people born like in 1954 for example 1.2x.
Nowadays less people are born like in 2015 that is 0.8x.
That is why there is still more older people even if they die, there is much less new people born than born in the past.
