  1. This is such an old man answer
  2. This is such an English old man answer
  3. Considering what he’s lived through, “avoid dying” is pretty solid advice, and only a little bit tongue-in-cheek.

Considering what he’s lived through

Harder for some than others.

If you fail, you don't have to worry about it anymore.

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.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

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.

Just like the secret to flying.

[–] daddy32@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

He is trolling the dead.

[–] r0bi 3 points 1 year ago

Big if true.

So far so good

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The trick is to keep breathing.

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Pssh I've been not dying for 38 years and I'm still not the world's oldest man

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Make this guy head of EHHS

A saying where I'm from goes something like: "To get old, eat soup for 100 years."
