Hi Product Hunt 👋

I'm Phil, a graphic designer from Belgium. None of us chose where we were born, and I wanted to make that feel real for a minute rather than explain it.

Born Somewhere is a small conceptual art experiment:

• You type your first name and your country. Then: "YOU NO LONGER EXIST."

• A roulette globe gives you a new birth, weighted by the real number of babies born in each country today (so roughly 1 in 6 lands in India, very few in Luxembourg).

• You get clues ("From now on, your name is Oluwaseun") and 3 tries to find your new country on the globe.

• Then you discover that life in numbers (life expectancy, income, school, etc.), and one question: would you trade your real life for this one?

No account, no ranking of "better" or "worse" countries, just public data (UN, World Bank, UNDP…) and a lime-dotted globe.

I'd love to hear where you landed, and what surprised you.
