    1. This is such an old man answer

    3. Considering what he’s lived through, “avoid dying” is pretty solid advice, and only a little bit tongue-in-cheek.

    I recently leaned a lot of these “oldest people” are not who they say they are, are much younger, and are involved in pension fraud. Especially when birth records from 100+ years ago didn’t necessarily exist.

    Kinda ruined all these wholesome stories for me.

      I’m sure some of them are as you say, but surely a few news stories we hear about oldest person are true.

      Either way, I like to pretend I will live a long, healthy, and fulfilled life till I’m 155, so please don’t ruin that for me. Thank you.

    Someone on another forum I’m on shared us two photos- him in the 90s and him today, to show that he has had no hair since high school.

    But he also looked exactly the same age.

    He told us the secret was to not start aging until you’re ready.

      Just like the secret to flying.

        Well not exactly, to fly, you don’t need to avoid falling, you just need to make sure you avoid the ground when you fall.

    This reminds me of a currently trending Brazilian meme (amostradinho) that I’ll translate here: “Huh, what audacity! In my presence? I like this way, the lil’ exhibitionistic, let me fill your ticket, ‘Once upon a day…’, and that day is today, it’s now!”
