  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

Margaret Thatcher?

[-] d00phy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Among… some other things.

England's oldest man is 42 and looking goooood.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

Wisdom truly comes with age.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

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 4 days 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 4 days 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.

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.

Harder for some than others.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 points 5 days ago

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

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

The trick is to keep breathing.

[-] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 days ago

He is trolling the dead.

[-] TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago

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

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!"

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 3 points 5 days ago
