Dharma Lab

Absurd totals, lovingly calculated.

A collection of humorous calculators that reveal lifetime numbers through simple math — the kind of statistics you did not request and cannot unsee.

Questions nobody should ask. Answers nobody can unsee.

Featured app

Life Odometer

Estimate how much of one activity you have already burned through — pizza, meetings, coffee, or whatever your week keeps repeating.

Run the calculator

Life Odometer

All math runs in your browser. Nothing is saved.

Lifetime total

10,920

35 years × 52 weeks × 2/week × 3 slices

You have consumed approximately 10,920 slices, enough to make your cardiologist quietly open a spreadsheet.

Somewhere a spreadsheet is proud. It should not be.

That is about 1,365 large pizzas.

Also live

New hatchlings from the same questionable spreadsheet.

Not legal advice. Just what the paragraph was probably thinking.

What they actually meant

A workable translation. Still not legal advice — just emotional clarity.

  • Detectedhigh

    good faith

    You will eventually argue in a group chat at 11pm.

  • Detectedmedium

    Exchange shall take place

    Someone will be five minutes late and emotionally prepared.

  • Detectedhigh

    Failure to comply may result in sanctions

    The judge has a disappointed-parent voice ready.

Your lawyer would like a word. Billable, obviously.

Founder Delusion Index

Runway math meets narrative physics. Investors not included.

You are the main character. The cap table is a subplot.

Roughly 8 months at $81,000/mo net burn — $648,000 before the inspirational LinkedIn post.

Bold. Unaudited, but bold.

That is about 540 months of rent in a city nobody brags about.

  • Runway under twelve months (+16): optimism meets calendar.
  • MRR covers less than 25% of burn (+14): revenue is a guest star.
  • "12" AI-native mentions this week (+48).
  • 7 competitors "not relevant" (+21).
  • 22 vision slides (+28): the TAM slide has a TAM slide.
  • 2 skipped board updates (+10).
  • “We don't need sales yet” (+12): famous last slide.

More calculators (coming soon)

Still incubating. Probably for the best.
