*shrug* At least you'll be able to meet people that have lived as long as you, or be able to keep up with younger people.

Some might, but for others it would be tough without loved ones.

 

[entremet]

he looks old af but he also looks like he lives in poverty. idk how he could survive this long

Less access to rich, fattening food tho.

Probably subsisting on rice and not much else. No desserts, pizza, burgers, etc.

 

[rjc571]

He's obviously not 145

 

[Jharp]

He's obviously not 145

Well that settles it, then.

 

[Anth0ny]

wtf

if true, this crushed the WR by like 20 years lol

 

[TheMan]

seems really unlikely, but would be cool as hell if true. And by cool, i mean cool for science. Life must be hell when EVERYONE you grew up with is dead and you're too old to do much besides sit around and wait for death.

 

[FiredUpRod]

hes also a smoker

cancers got nothing on this man

I hope no one tries to justify smoking because of this guy.

 

[StoopKid]

Looks pretty good for his age.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

He probably has his dad's or grandfather's papers.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

 

[D4Danger]

confirmed his birth date as December 31 1870

That's my dob on every age gate.

 

[Grym]

Gotta be his father's (or grandfather's) records

 

[Speevy]

Would that make him the oldest person ever to live?

 

[Bitanator]

There was a women claiming to be much older than the record as well a few years ago, came up false. I doubt he is 140 that is insane, but if he is, don't let the Chinese have him, they'd dust him up for some billionaire as an anti age powder

 

[Elwood Blues]

Would that make him the oldest person ever to live?

Read the bible

 

[Crossing Eden]

I can't imagine that. Wtf do you even do with yourself by like 130?

.

 

[MysticDistance]

If this is indeed true, this would make him older than the first gasoline-powered automobile.

The first gasoline-powered automobile was invented in 1886, making him 16 years older than it if true.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

Nah.

 

[Hazmat]

Would that make him the oldest person ever to live?

Oldest confirmed was a French woman who was 122 when she died. Odds are that someone somewhere beat that, but by like a year, not 23.

 

[shintoki]

Found his documentation guys

 

[Coreda]

You WON'T BELIEVE this simple trick to live forever!

Doctors HATE him!

 

[injurai]

 

[TheSeks]

If he has official records, why is this news coming out right now? He should've been known about decades ago.

Paper Records lost and all that. IF he's from the 1800's there would be no digitization of his record.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Less access to rich, fattening food tho.

Probably subsisting on rice and not much else. No desserts, pizza, burgers, etc.

I have no idea about Indonesian food. I can't think of any recipes from their cuisine I might have had.


What are common foods in Indonesia to eat? With their wildlife and plant life I wonder if they eat very different things from the others in less unique climates.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

He's obviously not 145

Basically. I strongly doubt it.

 

[mr stroke]

seems really unlikely, but would be cool as hell if true. And by cool, i mean cool for science. Life must be hell when EVERYONE you grew up with is dead and you're too old to do much besides sit around and wait for death.

fuck that, id grind MMO's all day

 

[SpecX]

Can't imagine the amount of pain this man feels as such an age. His joints have got to be dust at this point and the painful process to see that many generations of family members die before you.

 

[Kurdel]

The odds of this being true are hilariously low

 

[Forerunner]

You WON'T BELIEVE this simple trick to live forever!

Doctors HATE him!

So does GAF!

 

[Dusk Golem]

To be seen if true or not, but I don't know why people are using statistics to say how this can't be true. Obviously if this ends up being true, he's an outlier, and outliers can and do exist in multiple fields. This wouldn't change those statistics, it would just mean this man ended up being a serious outlier if true.

 

[Zepp Twofist]

Doesn't seem plausible.

 

[Langdon Alger]

I call fake on this.

 

[HiiiLife]

Damn he old

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

No question he's old as fuck, but that old? Nah, more citations needed.

 

[Soriku]

Read the bible

Those crazy Bible ages aren't real.

 

[Izuna]

Sounds like bull

also lol, 31st December 1870?

Looks like the earliest date on a computer

 

[Squalor]

Read the bible

He said "person," not fictional character.

 

[Zepp Twofist]

Those crazy Bible ages aren't real.

Are you telling me that humans can't be 800 years old and every animal that ever was can't fit on a single boat?

 

[darthbob]

That'd put him at like 110?

110 seems far more realistic than 145 and even that's pushing it.

 

[charsace]

There was a women claiming to be much older than the record as well a few years ago, came up false. I doubt he is 140 that is insane, but if he is, don't let the Chinese have him, they'd dust him up for some billionaire as an anti age powder

For all the years he lived I might roll his dust up and smoke it. Pass the power on to me.

 

[SgtCobra]

Waiting for the receipts before I draw my own conclusion as a fact.
The man looks too good to be 145 though, miss Clement looked way more fragile than him back then.

 

[The Giant]

Read the bible

Fictional books don't count.

 

[KorrZ]

I mean, TIL someone lived to be 122 which is absolutely bonkers to me. 145? I guess it's possible.

 

[Acorn]

Sounds like bull

also lol, 31st December 1870?

Looks like the earliest date on a computer

Preunix time

 

[Servbot24]

Two full lifetimes pretty much.

I definitely want to live a long time, but not with the physical burden of aging - can't imagine what that's like at 140.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

literally twice as old as my grandma was when she passed.

do you guys think he likes memes

Fictional books don't count.

ow, the edge

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Total fabrication. Reminds me of Fauja Singh, the "100 year old" Marathon runner who has almost no proof of his age at all.

 

[Ahasverus]

I wouldn't mind living that long tbh. Incredible if true.

 

[Hypemaster]

It's possible, I'm 119 but look like a 20 year old.

 

[loaf of bread]

Can you even imagine being 70-80 years old, and then living essentially an entire full length life after that.

I understand people saying they wouldn't want to live that long but I mean hell, at a certain point can't you just relinquish your entire life to watching movies/tv, playing games, and listening to music, exercising in between? I mean that sounds better than just accepting the eternal abyss.
