Just when you thought 2021 couldn't get any worse, we're here to remind you of our most terrifying find of the year – the Your Life In Weeks infographic. That's right gang, as January creeps ever closer we can prepare ourselves to check another year of this chilling infographic based on the average life expectancy. 

This existentialism-inducing infographic reveals how much of your lifespan you have already lived and how much time (on average) you have left – yikes. It might come as no surprise that this fairly macabre graphic has been tormenting the internet throughout the year. Sounding a little too morbid for you? Don't worry, why not check out our roundup of the best infographics for something more jolly.

To look at a personalised Your Life in Weeks chart, all you have to do is input some basic information like your birthday. With this info, the chart will separate your life into colour-coded life stages from school to retirement and pop a little star on the chart to mark where you are in your lifetime. If you head over to the website, you can also compare your lifespan to the likes of Kurt Cobain, Vincent Van Gogh and William Shakespeare. The infographic was made by "one-man development studio" Coruscant Consulting, and as genius as the design is, we hope the brains behind something so morbid is doing okay. 

It looks as though the concept of the infographic is based on a similar design by illustrator Tim Urban who posted a "The Life of a Typical American" chart on his blog Wait But Why. Urban's design features the average age of certain life events like when you can legally drive and your first child.
