Any Human Ever: a site that draws a random life from everyone who has ever lived
thinkingemote · hn · 2026-09-03
Any Human Ever is a small web project making the rounds on Hacker News: each visit draws one life at random from all humans who have ever existed and presents it to you.
The site's pitch is empathy through randomness—surfacing ordinary lives across history rather than famous figures. Technical details are thin on the HN post; the experience itself is at anyhumanever.com.
