  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

Yes, which doesn't make it true. The "have died eventually" applies to all participants in the battle of Trafalgar. Didn't immediately, but after some time. All dead now.

I've drunk water. I have not died.

Yet.

Maybe. The fact is not everyone who consumed it has died.

[–] SW42@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yes they did - unless you count vampires.

[–] Iunnrais@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Mind your tenses. Will die, not have died.

I'm not a vampire and I didn't die. I expect to, but I definitely haven't died in the past

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

I haven't, and I'm not a vampire.
