It really was almost comedic timing. That probably sounds insensitive, but on the other hand fuck their feelings.
hector@lemmy.todayto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Increasing life expectancy must be stoppedEnglish1·16 days agoYes we could evolve to live longer, but as you point out we are not, and science is no where near rewriting the code to fix that in designer babies let alone already old rich pricks.
Naturally it would take a long time and it is hard to see how we would evolve there, but parrots, some turtles, tortoises, sharks, sturgeon, and idk what else have done it.
Greenland sharks live over 500 years I think I saw on a post on the big site.
hector@lemmy.todayto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Increasing life expectancy must be stoppedEnglish71·16 days agoIt is not possible for a human to live 200 years. 150 would be more than about the absolute maximum. Your body has stem cells and they put forth cells for the body pre-programmed for cell death after a term where they’re replaced by new stem cells.
There are only so many copies in those stem cells to say nothing of the degradation of the DNA over time. For human history the maximum age has never changed, the average age has wildly fluctuated but they have had super old people going back into antiquity.
No advances in medicine have changed either the degradation of DNA or the lack of stem cell copies in the body to live beyond the maximum age.
Also policing language over feelings leads to the worst abusers figuring out how to play the system and getting other people policed for there fee fees.
The bullies play victim.
Some of these jokes go right for the jugular too, neck and neck with other such jokes.
